whew ... gone are the easy days. In the past I've always bought round filters. 55mm lens? Easy, 55mm filter. But ... I want to, I think, go to square or rectangular filters; especially ND or GND. Questions: What size do I need ... inches X inches or mm X mm for an 82mm lens? Does the holder...

I played a guys homemade DVD on my Pioneer PRV-9000 and recorded it via firewire to my 'puter. I've done that a lot of times. I play it back ... The guy talking goes out of lip sync within seconds. I can start the video anywhere I want, and it is perfect ...... for a few seconds. Because of...

I am tryingt to d/l the trial version of Photoshop CS4 to seemingly, no avail. I've been using CS3 and want to check out 4. Every link always goes to Photoshop Extended. I do not want Extended. The list of software to download clearly shows Photoshop and Photoshop Extended. The first time I just...

Ok .. I used adobe Bridge (Photoshop CS3) to view some wedding photos. I right click on the images I want to adjust and select "open with camera raw". In a couple seconds, there it is. I make my adjustments, save and go on. This is the first wedding I did for black folk. It was a challenge for...

I don't know if there'd be enough interest in this to make a thread like this worthwhile, but I'm interested. I know some of you, at least, would be. I'd like to see what others consider good sources of info concerning photography; composition, post, philosophy, technique, accessories, etc...

Ok ... I did a shoot this past Thursday. Where I meant to have my ISO at 160, I had it at 1600!! I was called literally at a moments notice to do a very simple shoot at a university. They wanted the photo(s) for a poster. AGGGHHH!!! I was instructed that I had to hurry with this thing. The group...

I'm thinking along the lines here of the inverse square law. Suppose I have a 500 W lamp. At 2 meters, I have x amount of light on the subject. Double that to 4 meters and I'll have 1/4x. If I want to double the distance as just mentioned, but keep the luminance on the subject the same as at 2...

I'm wondering if any of you have a preference in filter brands? Hoya? Tiffen? Other? I see that Hoya's tend to run quite a bit higher in price. Not always, but usually that means something. Looking here...

Does anyone here have any experience with an Epson R1900 printer? Larry

I am looking at buying a second SLR and a lense. I've bought from B&H Photo before and am very happy with them. I just saw at Adorama the same camera, same price PLUS they include a 8GB CF card, which I was also going to buy anyway. Does anyone have experience with Adorama? Is there stuff...

Holding your thumb and forefinger at right angles to each other and pointing one at the sun, the other will be pointing towards the polarized portion of the sky on a sunny day. I wanted to capture a shot where part of the polarized and less polarized portion of sky was fairly equally divided...

I have played much with ND's in still photography. I thought I'd try it out on this sunny day with my radiometer spinning pretty fast. Obviously not a "pretty" picture, but fun to play with something different. Larry

I promise I won't do this sort of thing hardly ever, but I was so wowed by this image, I wanted to post a link to it for other photographers to see. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html Enjoy. Larry

Timur, sorry to start a thread about this, but I have to ask ... Is that avatar you use, you? I always assumed it was. I ask because, even though I never watch it, I turned on the tee vee and SNL was on. I don't know what the joke was, but they had your avatar on the screen! Did you see it or...

Has anyone played around with Lab Color? It is a part of Photoshop CS3 Here I took a photo of a Sea Anemone in a tidal pool near Huntington Beach from my Sony H2 (six MP) two years ago. (An H2 is something between a P&S and a SLR, I suppose). The second photo is the same photo with Lab Color...
