Weekly Competition # 33 "My Town................"
Changing the topic back again to the rules. John Riley says in the announcement "Images should be all your own work. " How is "own work" defined? This is the reason why in the competition"Love Is ..." I asked if my entry was allowed - as I stated my father had...

Can't find good DVD burning software
For my photos I mostly use Photoshop Elements to make the backups, but I also use Nero. Then I just back up an entire folder, which it does regardless of what extension the files have.

How much would you pay for a badge?
Interestingly I'm just back from Focus today - K20D available £749 body only as a "show special" and £899 with the 16-45 which I thought was a great deal... No sign of anywhere with the GX20!!! I voted that they should be the same price, give or take a few quid - BUT I will pay more ...

weekly competition: 34 Street Furniture
I seem to recall road signs in Lome, certainly I recall the plethora of signs around the Ghanian border. True there are some road signs around and you are correct there are a lot around the border. However, having once been arrested at gun point in another African country, for filming close to a bo...

weekly competition: 34 Street Furniture
Not much fun being arrested anywhere but certainly not Africa. I could never understand why they were so touchy but they certainly were. One of my more awkward moments was during a coup d'etat I wanted to get some bread so I went off into town to be turned back by a very pleasant soldier whose compa...

I saw this stuff some years back: http://www.liquidsculpture.com/fine_art/image.htm?title=BlueWall There's a whole load of stuff about equipment and technique on Martin's site here: http://www.martin-waugh.com/ I would try it myself, but every shot would have a cat hair floating on the surface...

Weekly Competitions - Closing Time - A Suggestion
I'll at first admit my UK-centric bias here, and also concede that I've never been in the lucky/unlucky position to have to judge the result, but I'll go on record and say that I don't think this should be a Sunday competition at all. I think it should close late, probably midnight, on Monday. Li...

Anyone got any nudie photos...?
It's not what you think ... honest. Yes I'm sure many of us do have nudie images and what's wrong with nudie pics anyway. Blame God for being such a good sculptor. I'm producing a post card for a friends band. They are a crazy weird experimental pop band. I have had an idea based on Alexand...

digital cover LCD screen protector
I ordered a cheap soft one yesterday. Will report back when I get it. It was from the same eBay dealer that supplied me with a very clear and easy to apply protector for my mobile phone; helpfully comes with a microfibre cloth.

digital cover LCD screen protector
I always think the pop-up ones would be a pain, as if you wanted to check the histogram quickly, you'd have to pop the shade up, have a look, then put it back down again before the next shot. I suppose it would put an end to constantly glancing at the LCD, but for the times you want to refer to it ...

How do i take Pictures of lightning
You really have to get lucky most of the time. Storms can come from nowhere when you least expect them. If you are shooting in the dark then if you know where the storm is you can point the camera in the right direction and use bulb and keep the shutter open for a long time, until you get a flash of...

How do i take Pictures of lightning
Easy as pie... Exposure is variable. I generally use 30 seconds at a time. For the K10D and RAW, this works well without too much noise and without turning on the noise cancellation -- which requires a thirty second dark frame to be shot. Thus you can are waiting doing nothing until that noise ...

K20D finally in Montréal
Congratulations! Plenty of "white" subject matter to play with. (For those who aren't aware, we're either approaching or breaking snow fall records here in Quebec). White balance anyone? :lol: Enjoy! Thank you! I don't know what part of Montréal you call home, but where ...

Light Box ( à la Blue Peter)
For this weeks competition entry I used my homemade light box - together with my homemade flash diffuser (see seperate post). Fairly self explanatory: The windows are made from tracing paper - there is one one the opposite side too. Illumination from 2 table lamps plus (on this occasion) ...

Adobe DNG Converter queries
UPDATE: I took some test shots in .PEF, imported them into Lightroom, then converted them to DNG with Lightroom's converter. Now when I view the image 1:1 in Lightroom, the message "An unknown error has occured" appears in the top of the photo. The dialogue is of the same type as the...
