Re: Miss - please come with me...
Thanks... For the past 18 years, the Republic of Texas motorcycle rally has been held in Austin. I've never been to it in all those years so I decided to attend the parade Friday night. They ride in from the fairgrounds, up and down Congress Ave (by the Capital), park in the street and then all head to 6th Street afterward… -
Re: Help With Chosing Camera For The Task
I surely wish you would have investigated what others are using sucessfully. You can often learn from other's experience, especially the successful ones. Anyway, the fact that you cannot use flash, and that the events are sometimes indoors, indicates the need for fast lenses and high ISOs. Ringside is good in that you are… -
Re: Get serious . . . on a budget
I guess you meant ../2196043-O.jpg and no I did not use an exif reader. I manually examined the embedded text using the UNIX command 'strings 2196043-O.jpg | more' ISO 100 1/350 f8 90mm focal length 70-200mm lens exposure Bias = -1 noise reduction 25 sharpness 25 saturation +10 contrast +25 brightness +50 exposure +1.10… -
Re: SmugMug seeming VERY slow lately...
Hi Andy - thanks for the quick response - I was afraid that would be your answer :) As I'm sure smugmug isn't a "slow site". I'm a network technician - so feel free to ask me for anything network related without long instruction :) I'm running my trace route from work right now... I'll run another trace route from my… -
Re: Sydney Opera House - passing the time
Thanks for these. I'm a Sydney native. In a comment I made to another poster about his photos of Darling Harbour, Sydney is a unique photographic subject. No other place in the world is like it, the light, the atmosphere, the location, the architectural mix, the variety of interest, the intensity and liveliness. For this… -
Re: Manual Camera Operation
You use a light meter. Either the one built in your camera (that will show you if you're underexposing or overexposing with your current set of aperture and shutter speed, even when you use the manual settings), or use an external one. This light meter will tell you which shutter speed and aperture combinations you could… -
Re: D90/D300 comparison Questions
I think I may have answered this question for myself. I was in the mall the other day, stopped in to Ritz and asked if I could "fondle" a D300s. It's just a different animal altogether than the D90, and that's coming from someone who loves his D90! Specification differences aside, the ONE thing that I've not been happy… -

Re: Street and PJ Questions--No pics from me.
You didn't say where you are. Mike Penn, BD, Michswiss, and some of the other regular posters shoot in NYC, Boston, Philly, and other major urban areas. I've been to those places, and my impression is that people there don't pay much attention to the people around them. Many of them avoid as much as even eye contact with… -
Re: Why is dynamic range limited?
Well, everything has its limits. :) And I'm sure someone is working on it. I don't know much about analog circuitry, I'm in the digital realm. And even then I'm a computer scientists working in digital design verification, not in design itself. But I'll answer as best I can. The linear versus exponential explanation is…
