Enviable kit list
my minimalist (and genuinely pocketable) kit comprises an ME Super with a 50/1.4 attached :) One of my biggest regrets about going digital is that my ME Super is now gathering dust. It's worth practically nothing, I'll probably never use it again now, but it holds the imprint of so many memories, ...

Kodak boosts digital camera sensitivity
yes but the point being that you don't apply NR at low ISOs, so you get your full resolution capability back. This pattern will be awesome for security cameras and the like which must work well in low light. Not so sure it will work well for artistic photography in normal light though. Of course ...

Kodak boosts digital camera sensitivity
They are fixed to the surface of the CCD, CMOS or LMOS. Exchangeable sensors would be rather expensive, but it would be possible. Imagine having it as an exchangeable back, but then you'd be in a whole new realm where you could choose a nice Pentax body and load it up with a FujiFilm CCD :)

I keep coming back to this thread thinking of something witty to say about the sharpness of the lemons :D but for once the wit escapes me :oops: I'll just have to content myself with agreeing with previous replys 8)

Some PP help required.
Some more shots from last Sundays studio session, as you can see I got part of the exposure all wrong on this shot (forgot to turn the hair light off) :oops: I've tried like blazes to bring the blown bits back but just can't seem to get it right (need some tuition on the burn tool), can any of you ...

Brian, I assume you're referring to her shoulder... You can't use a tool to just "bring back" burnt highlights :( Part of the trick is to understand the problem. Always start by looking at the channels individually - the red is what's blown out, and the blue (in this JPG at least) ha...

Photosynth
A little over a year ago, was just a couple of demos. They've now released the software, it's free, and it works. I thought the demos last year were pretty cool. The reality is even more so. ____________ Edit: it was only released yesterday, and was promptly overloaded. It was back up...

Another still life !
Er guys....I think this image has a message, something on the lines of "know your onions" :D Ah... nice one, then, in that case. That hadn't occurred to me. In that context, I withdraw 'random'. :) This is another example of what I was banging on about a while back, where the intentio...

anybody want to try an experiment...
take the translucent white bodycap that came with your dslr. take a 1 inch strip of white paper, and tape it across the cap with clear scotch tape. (ok to trim it to fit). set your camera to manual (everything). With the cap in front of your lens, hold your camera in front of a subject, pointed...

I'll have to have a go with the white paper., I heard a suggestion a while back that the cover made a fair substitution for the Expodisc. But when used alone the white balance was truly horrific.

anybody want to try an experiment...
Pro-sumer video cameras were sold for years with translucent lens caps for the purpose of setting white balance but this sounds like a really intriguing way of getting an accurate exposure, I'll get back to you on this, Don, once I've bought a battery for my Minolta meter :oops: Reflected light ...

Cuisine
It is not easy to get the focus right as only the centre focus point works for confirmation in MF and the viewfinder is small. Everything was 'off centre' to avoid getting to much horrible background. I'll try something as a reflector next time, big learning curve to climb. I'll also take more...

Storage suggestions?
What we really need is holographic disks 300GB to start, moving to 2TB over a couple of years, same reader/writer so no need to upgrade. I hate all storage technology as it is all capable of failing horribly. I'm going to start to print all the photos I want to keep every month or so and keep ...

Storage suggestions?
I don't expect to be burgled, or for the house to burn down, so I think that the most convenient way to safely store data is on hard disks, with each original file on one set of disks and a copy on another. I knew someone who had a RAID array consisting of a couple of drives mirrored. The house...

Question/comment -- Weekly Competition - The Number Six
When you say this, may I ask, where did you eventually find 'the number 6' in my photo? I found a six in the number plate and also two threes that make a six. I also wondered whether in binary code 110 meant six, but I don't know and if that were so then the image would IMHO require too much knowled...

Question/comment -- Weekly Competition - The Number Six
Yes, Chris, you have misinterpreted me. My laconic style can sometimes lead to that. Here's a smiley. :-) Fair enough... here's one back... :D
