Re: Photography Thread
 

How could you not click?

Now is someone could tell me what the deal is with Canon Raw files in CS3 I would be eternally grateful.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Neat.

How did you do that? The black box and click to expose actual photo?

Re: Photography Thread
 

yup.. try to put a slide show.. but fail :(

Re: Photography Thread
 

I inserted a hyperlink and instead of typing something like "click here" I censored my picture saved it to photobucket in case anyone's children are looking on. and inserted the [img/] code instead of typing.

I home I'm making sense.:confused:



@ken

Most photo uploading sites compress the image unless you buy a premium membership. my camera shoots at ~3000 pixels but photobucket maxes sizes at 1080. The only site I have found that wont change the resolution and does not steal rights to your photos is Deviant art. Also certain color formats will not be accurate on the web.

This article should shed more light on it.

Re: Photography Thread

Re: Photography Thread
 

How do you like Florida? haha

I also masked just the truck and threw a high pass filter on it. Im happy with it considering the radiant heat coming off the track.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Francis, Sweet Lens!

I am sure they are real Habanos, that's what the sign says they wouldn't lie to us.

Re: Photography Thread
 

What's the best/cheapest way to get into photography? I have a Canon 590IS, and I love taking pictures. I just lose any type of quality when the lighting is not Ideal. I love taking sports photos, but the action is usually too fast, and not enough light.

Can I get a decent lens to put on my 590 IS(a), or am I better off getting a DSLR(b)? I know option B will cost me much more than A.

Any insight is apreciated.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Actually its more likely the lens would cost more than the body. Im pretty sure you cant interchange lenses with your particular camera. An entry level DSLR with kit lens (or two if you find a package) Canons T1i with 18-55 is a great setup the other way to go is the Nikon D5000 route Both in the $800 range. Its really a matter of preference. Most guys here are canon fans and really they are great either way IMO. Canon is cheaper in the long run.

If you are looking for point and shoot most of them don't perform great in low light. An easy way around this is to use a tripod.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Or you could get a used Canon 20d or 30d and a nifty fifty for less than $500. The nifty fifty would be good in both the situations you mention, low light and sports.
