Here It Is BD and AD Finally
Before the Deck was built, the weather was really taking it's toll on the back of my house.......I live one street from the sea, and it gets pretty windy down here, check out the damage to the back door, it's a steele security door, which I had replaced while my little buddy Frank was building the deck. When it rained, if… -
XSI Normal light = Low light??
ok, so this has been bugging me. I'll be taking pictures in a room that has very good lighting, and my camera forces me to use extremely low shutter speeds or else it will be extremely dark. I'll be using my 17-50mm f/2.8 lens, which I thought was supposed to take decent pictures in low light. Extremely low shutter speeds… -
Re: Question for Win XP users
I have the exact same problem! I have the exact same problem and have been working with a Microsoft Tech for a long time. They are pretty much worthless (kind of like Microsoft in general). The problem does not happen using My Computer or Explore without the left pane visible. It also only happens with certain level parent… -
Re: white balance/grey card question
Randy, I do not want to give folks the impression that I think one method or tool is really better than another for color balancing. Randy, I had not thought of using an Expodisc to check for dust bunnies. I'll have to give that a try. Not having to run outside would be great. Regarding AF, I don't set my AF up with the… -
Re: Lens for sports
Yeah that is exactly what I have. By having a lens that goes down to 2.8 you have the ability to shoot some great shots indoors for hoops and hockey, but its a little short for football and baseball, and not as much for lax and soccer (softball a 200 is fine but you can use the TC to get the outfield) But since with the… -
Re: Vintage Alarm Clock
Thank you, Jack. You think right. I was going to dust it and wipe off the print, but then decided that the schmutz added to the image. The way I generally sharpen an image is to start at 100% (sharpening and image size), then oscillate the percentage slider up and down until I like it. What? I thought the stains already… -
Re: Is this image noisy?
I think that in the Canon 7D, and to a lesser extent the 1D MKIV too, Canon has chosen not to be so heavy handed in color smoothing as it had been in the past. Remember that most dSLRs use a "Bayer mosaic" to represent color information. Each photosite has either a red or a green or a blue filter over it, so that each… -
Re: Preferred way to set white balance?
Being a Xanga follower of the inventor Gary Fong, I have heard of a program called "Bullzeye" that is basically color correction software for JPG images. Apparently it's really good; people switch from RAW back to JPG when they "discover" bullzeye. I'm already super happy with my RAW workflow on a fast computer and CS2,… -

Re: Wireless Triggers - Cactus V4 Radio Slave?
I'm actually about to purchase the V4's. I'm a Nikon shooter, and have an SB 600 and an SB 800. All of my shots are limited to the SB 600 as the main and SB 800 for fill, on the camera shoe, as a commander. It's great in doors and in studio set ups, but this is not reliable outdoors where the portability of the shoemount…
