Re: Help with Studio Lighting
Setting a custom white balance in on page 68 in your manual for the 40D.... ( I can't seem to quickly find an active link for a manual in English for a 40D on the web anymore ) Shoot a jpg of a plain white object in AWB in the room with the blue wall with the light you are going to shoot with - a t shirt, a towel, a piece… -
Re: Giving back to the community! --Contest Entry Thread
Truly amazing. Incredible story. I remember when my grandmother died. It was a very sad day. I was a rebellious teen ager, that felt I was a man and could venture on my own. So, at 17, I moved out of my parent's house and began my supposed adult life. My grandmother, the tough Chinese cookie she was, fought three back to… -
Re: Requesting Input on Upsizing Software
Pathfinder, I have read the Epson’s are designed for 360, or 720, and I believe the printer will up-res the file to meet that criteria, so the info I have been given is to up-res in PS, or third party software, rather than let the printer do it. The ipf5000 definitely benefits from getting a 600ppi file. I was surprised to… -
Re: Confused
Try not and get too frustrated. I've never owned a Point and Shoot, but have been extremely happy with my DSLR. I purchased the Digital Rebel 1 1/2 years ago and just recently purchased the Canon 20D. It didn't take that long to start using them, although I'm sure it will take a lot longer to get really good with them. As… -
Re: OMG Fish.. How ya been, you haven't posted in 4 months, we were wondering what happened to you.
Has it really been 4 months? My how time flies when you work in a coal mine ;) Seriously, I've been pretty dang busy with work (running a new program with very aggressive goals), so I haven't had a whole lot of spare time for photography or motorcycling, let alone internet posting. The good news is that I've swapped out… -
Re: Re-organize my photos
I have to pipe up again now. I am total agreement with John here. Yes, HDDs are complex mechanical devices, the manufacturing of which has been perfected a long time ago. In my experience they have been proven to be quite reliable overall. No, not 100%, but a damn sight closer than burnable optical media, which is still in… -

Re: Tools for Color Balancing
Tonight I revised my approach slightly, and decided to no longer include the IT8 card as it is too shiny. I dragged out my FlashPoint 620 strobe and its matching double diffused SoftBox and positioned it at 45 degrees and about 2-3 feet over my color targets. I shot a frame of the softbox firing for my first gray jpg for… -
Re: newbie's head is a spinnin'! What to buy
Hey Fred, Thanks for the comments. I have already worked out the return on the a1, and I will be putting my older multitrack rig up for auction tonight. Kinda leaves me stripped down in my audio recording stuff, but I guess that is OK. I can still multitrack, just with a few less channels. oh well! The megapixel race... I…
