Anyone going to upgrade to CS5?

Re: Photography Thread
 

not me. CS4 wasnt worth the upgrade from CS3. Sure there may be more 3D capability but im just doing plain old photo editing.

what are your thoughts? Sway me.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Still working your tutorial Francis. There's alot of experience in that lesson.

From this weekend...

I had an Intro to "Cowboy Action Shooting" this weekend. It was fun as heck. It's a whole different kind of match than I'm used to, but I think I did pretty well.

pretty epic Mark! Love the cartrage ejection pictures. Were you shooting full out (w/ camera) to get those or are you just that good? :r

Re: Photography Thread
 

Nice shots Mark! Although frankly, I'd rather shoot something other than a camera if I were there :)

Re: Photography Thread
 

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

CS4 was worth the upgrade solely for the newer Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge. When I Was doing weddings, 95% of my work was done in bridge, and the ACR upgrades were epic!

Now that I'm back to editing individual photos in Photoshop, CS5 intelligent fill feature will be epic, and I could care less about any ACR upgrades.

Re: Photography Thread
 

CS3 has Camera raw editing. It was updated recently.

I guess I see your point.

From a quick trip to the water this afternoon.

For a quick shot, I am kinda pleased by it.

Re: Photography Thread
 

I'm just that good. These are easy to catch, the AR's and AK's are tough.

I did shoot the class. I used some .45 long Colt Rugers and a .45 Uburti rifle and a pump shotty like in the pics. It was a blast!

Here's a pic of my fat ass wearing iron.

how cute :gn

Re: Photography Thread
 

not the kind of ACR that lets you retouch photos on the fly and skip Photoshop. For processing 2000+ wedding photos, that was a game changer!

Re: Photography Thread
 

Im working on a leather SD and CF card wallet.

One CF one SD

just a fun project. Would anyone like to testdrive the CF version for me?

they are about the size of a credit card holds 2 cards just slip it in your poscket when you go out instead of having them loose in your pocket or in the bulky plastic versions.

Pm me.

Re: Photography Thread
 

That sounds pretty cool - I recently downsized from a big case (relative term) with a larger plastic holder, and now have just a slim soft case. The leather holder concept sounds like it would work well for a lot of backpacks that have started putting the little camera pockets on the waist straps.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Some new toys just came in for me. I got a tripod and a remote shutter release. Waiting on an off-camera flash cord as well.

I also just built myself a little lightbox to play around with. If I find something interesting to photograph, I'll post some pics.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Please do!

Re: EQUIPMENT Question Sunpak 555
 

I meant to respond to this, but never got around to it. I wouldn't plug it into my camera, but it would be perfect for Off-Camera flash. The Sunpack 555's are pretty powerful and all you would need is a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver. Granted, those aren't extremely cheap, and definitely not free, but it's well worth it, imo.

GAHHHHH!!! I got my used/inherited Sony a100 and somewhere along the road one of the pins in the compact flash slot got broken off and now it will not read a memory card :(:td now it is a big paperweight. however it did come with a lens that retails for about $2k so that will be going on ebay to finance a Nikon D3000
