Any experience with Dell XPS 13 inch laptop displays?
Hi Matt, Which one do you mean, the studio or the normall one? If you're looking for the studio one I would say get the Studio XPS 16 with RGB LED, if you get the basic one with the screen you are 30 pounds cheaper then the studio XPS 13 which come standard with the led back light. Those RGB led s...

Any experience with Dell XPS 13 inch laptop displays?
That is a real pain, save yourself some money and put it towards something better. Lead times are long on the Studio 13 though which is a little annoying. I have 1200 purple pixels running in a line down my notebook's screen which happened a few weeks back. It is really irritating as it was all w...

Any experience with Dell XPS 13 inch laptop displays?
Hi Tyr, Thanks for that - yes, it's disappointing that it's not better :( Having read a lot over the last week or so, it seems to be primarily down to the gamut of the backlighting. First generation CCFL had a pretty poort gamut; there are some newer CCFL tubes with improved phosphors and white LED...

Any experience with Dell XPS 13 inch laptop displays?
Just getting (slightly) back on topic... I've been getting into the deeper side of ArgyllCMS and it seems to have resolved pretty well all the colour issues I was experiencing ;) (FWIW, ArgyllCMS is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac!) There are two ways of creating a display calibration -...

Any experience with Dell XPS 13 inch laptop displays?
I run a Dell xps m1530 just about the right size for me. Came with Vista and I just could not get on with it, so off it came. Swapped out the hard drive and installed XP. I did have some problems finding all the drivers. I think it took about 2 weeks finding sound and some other in my view not so...

cleaning a uv filter
I take it that was a joke when someone said that they breath on the sensors right! No, someone was not joking. I AM NOT recommending anyone else does it, but breathing on the sensor then using a SensorKlear pen has removed stuck-on particles and marks, without any aparent problems. Back to the po...

New web-site
My only negative criticism is that there are a couple which are not up to the very high standard of the rest. Still good images, but not in the A++ category of the rest. I would leave them out as they detract a little from the other ones. I understand where you're coming from, when I have a few mo...

Advice on baby photography.
I guess RR will be wise enough to: do the trick with ether and use fisheye lens, direct flash plus spot colouring ;) Will make just one pic not letting the parents to choose. Not listening at all what they expect. And not trusting his own experience and eye. And he will never go back ;):lol: R...

Advice on baby photography.
Well I did the shoot today & they weren't looking for any classical shots, just more informal family portraits to send as thankyou's. Baby is at that awkward age, just beggining to focus his eyes. I said I'd return in a month or 2 when he's more alert to perform a more formal shoot. I'm just quic...

Focus rail
With the arrival of spring and the blooming of wild flowers my thoughts are turning to happy days kneeling in the muck in hedgerows taking photos! I have for a while been thinking of getting a focus rail (rack, whatever you want to call it). Some of them are quite pricey. Has anyone had experienc...

Focus rail
Some of the Chinese ones look OK. Novaflex are very good. Mines the proper Pentax one, long since discontinued, but excellent if you can find one. Other camera maker FR should also be good. shim

Advice on low light gig/concert photography
For instance what mode do you shoot in? Fully manual with spot metering. I aim the centre at a well lit face, and press the green button. That gives me the "right" reading for stage lights. Then I adjust from there. Do you try and have as low an iso as possible or just push it as far as possible...

Advice on low light gig/concert photography
Well, you learn a lot here don't you? Those replys were great, I never knew you could change the iso with the ok button/front dial which is really useful - suppose I should have read the manual but I am an engineer so if all else fails then read the instructions........... I too come from the ...

Advice on low light gig/concert photography
I have recently started to get back into photography but am still coming to terms with the fact that each shot does not cost me anything. If you shoot like it is costing you money for every shot then you'll get better results I assure you. It makes you think more about the shot !

Advice on low light gig/concert photography
If you want close-up shots of performers, then ISO 800 and DA* 50-135 will be fine (at F2.8...). If you want wider shots of the whole band, and they are playing against a conventional black background you are going to be stuggling due to the dynamic range. A video backing will make the range more ma...

Shooting at a gig thursday evening
Hi foxy i would use Tv to concentrate on the shutter speed rather than aperture.But it all depends on what your after.I like to see shots of the artist with back ground blur' if there are any stage lights maybe f4-f7.This will also give you a faster shutter keeping the iso down a little. You cou...

Shooting at a gig thursday evening
My advice is to use some punctuation so that people can understand what you are trying to say. Glad to see you back, George. And I concur wholeheartedly with your comments. It is amazing how much easier it is to read posts written with proper punctuation and paragraphing. In a forum like this it's...
