Re: Photography Thread
If you like to mess around with post-processing filters, onOne is giving away Perfect Effects 8 through Jan. 28. You can d/l standalone app as well as plugins for Lightroom, Aperture, PS, etc.
Usually sells for $99. Had a quick look and I still prefer the Nik system but you can't beat free. http://www.ononesoftware.com/landing/pe8offer/ P.S. this is fully licensed premium version, not demo.

Re: Photography Thread
I wanted to let you guys know that I have a thread up in the Non-cigar related for-profit sales for for prints that
some or all of you might be interested in. Not all that likely since you all obviously HAVE cameras and cigars, but you never know... http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showth...62#post1927762 |

Re: Photography Thread
If anyone likes to shoot photos in the dark, here is a FANTASTIC camera from Sony that was before it's time and
still holds up well all these years later. This thing has a laser matrix focusing system that allows you to focus in total darkness without the subject seeing the focusing system in operation, and shoots nightshot in still mode. Its a terrific camera and a damn good price....surprised to see it there for $50. http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20616324.html |

My wife bought me a Canon T3 DSLR for Christmas this year and I've been playing around with it a bit.

Re: Photography Thread
That's a nice shot Chris. I really enjoyed my T2i and one of my coworkers has the T3 also. It's a good DSLR.

Re: Photography Thread
Another of my "in and out, cheap DSLRs, BUT" posts.
Spotted this today... http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20618880.html Its a Nikon D3100, which normally I would never recommend to anyone. The body has no built-in focus motor, so you can only use it with AF-S lenses (unless you want to hand-focus). It MOUNTS em all. The issue that has this $250-$300 used camera on sale for $50 is that it "will not read SD cards - Card will not lock in slot." Hogwash. We have all used modern SD card-using cameras, where you push the card down, and there is a locking, spring- loaded system that keeps the card in the camera, and ejects it when you need to take out the card. But sometimes the mechanism sproings and the card will not lock in. It will not READ the card, because the card cannot be pushed down far enough, because the spring does not have a locking position anymore, its just like a little trampoline, and it keeps the contacts achingly close to the camera contacts, but won't touch. HOWEVER, if you roll up a piece of duct tape sticky side out and sit it on top of the SD card, you can close the door, and the pressure of the door down on the card keeps it in contact with the contacts in the camera. And the ingenious Nikon SD card doors feature a double-action mechanism that first presses DOWN on the card, then slides in grooves into a closed AND locked position, so the duct tape does not force the door open and ruin the quick fix I use. The light springiness of the tube of duct tape gives you cushion that protects the card from being crushed by the door. More or less tape may be required to make everything Happy. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, this camera is probably perfectly fine. Trouble is, an X condition camera (for parts only) is not sold with a battery and charger, I guess they take those and sell them used separately. SO you would need to buy this and THIS to have it work as a total package. So for 88 bucks, you have a entry level Nikon DSLR that shoots 1080 p video and a 14 megapixel sensor and a large LCD screen. I was going to buy it, but I have a rule about bodies....NEVER buy a Nikon body that does not have a focus motor built in... because I only have two lenses that work with these cameras, and they are not available very cheaply, even used. I like a Nikon body I can use with any 1986 and above lens. I was even going to buy it to SELL, but it is not a good idea to try and SELL a work-around camera to someone who is not as practical as I am. But for a person who buys it for themselves or a loved one, it seems perfectly nice, since you do not need to make a profit to make it worth your while. And believe me, my fix is GONNA WORK. But IF my theory, which has worked already with TWO D50s that had this issue, (both work fine today) then you can ALWAYS SEND IT BACK FOR A FULL REFUND WITHIN 30 DAYS, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Cause Adorama is the $HI+. $88....Not bad for a 2010 DSLR. Entry level or not. Well, of course you would need a lens to mount. AF-S works best. Last edited by OLS; 02-07-2014 at 12:35 PM. |
