Macro shots
That's really cool. Does anyone have any suggestions for focus stacking software? I don't have Photoshop and don't plan on buying it anytime soon ... Zerene Stacker is excellent (on a Mac).

Macro shots
Does anyone have any suggestions for focus stacking software? is also quite good, but aimed primarily at astrophotographers and perhaps suits their needs more.

Photo Storage
I bet a higher percentage are stored in shoe boxes :lol:. Mine are stored on my computer and it's back up. I'm not a member of FB so I cant post photos there and I certainly wouldn't store them there.

Photo Storage
I've only recently started to use online photo sharing using flickr and only a small number on facebook. None of those online images is in hi-res and all have a copyright watermark because if it can be displayed on a web page, it can be stolen. I would not trust my original image files with anyo...

Online storage:?::shock::shock::shock: I dont trust myself let alone anyone else:D I lost quite a lot of images taken with my istD (about 75%) when a hard drive failed, I had them backed up on an external drive when I decided to wipe my PC and re-instal windows, all went well and I then copied...

Photo Storage
I have mine on two external drives both backed up to a WD worldbook 1TB drive and that backed up online too. Getting back to the OP, a friend of my daughter had all her pictures of a school trip to China on facebook; her PC was stolen and, through no fault of hers, facebook closed her account. Al...

Photo Storage
I back up my pics to a 500gb external HD and also to a Jobo Giga One which I take everywhere with me to download my SD cards to. This has worked for me for the last 4 years and the only images that have "gone missing" are the ones I have deleted. I too do not trust online storage.

Cropping photos
I never crop. Visualise and consider before pressing the button! A nice ideal but not always achievable in practice. I have become addicted to square images and often visualize the crop as I take the image. Sometimes the lens isn't quite long enough, and you know you'll need to crop something out....

Full Frame - A wish list
The OP wants a full frame yet poo poos most of the options available!!! If the D700 & D3x's low light are last generation then what is the best low light option for ff??? As I understand one of the reasons to go FF is for the low light capabilities, are you saying that APS -C low light capabiliti...

Viewfinder Magnifiers
Being new to DSLRs (I've used manual bodies a lot for film) I'm having real trouble achieving good focus with wide angled lenses (50mm onwards no problem). The centre AF point covers a lot of area on a wide angle and I find it difficult to confirm my focus. I've seen a few viewfinder magnifiers on e...

Viewfinder Magnifiers
I always use a Pentax magnifying eyecup on my K7. I prefer it to the basic viewfinder and the magnified image is undoubtedly better for seeing focus details, although I imagine a split screen viewfinder may be better still. Plenty of folk here use one of those and can no doubt advise. The right a...

Viewfinder Magnifiers
The right angled finders, I think, invert the image which you see, so provided you can deal with that I am sure they would be useful depending on your particular style. I have often thought about getting one for low-down macro work, but as yet have not taken the plunge... Regards That's the Olymp...

Viewfinder Magnifiers
I had the same trouble as you when I went digital. Don't know if it helps but I've tried various solutions including split screen focusing screen, external monitor, Pentax magnifier flip up thing and homemade focus widget. This magnifier nearly poked my eye out a few times and only shows the centre ...

He's not a photographer, he's a saleman:wink: Take note of what he says towards the back end of the video, words to the effect of if they take tis price list home you will never hear from them again that is a typical sales tactic in not giving the customer chance to think too long about what they...

good bye
Hi Jeff, I know everyone acts in a manner which he/she feels is right and in the best interest of oneself. You too would be having a good reason to leave. But please weigh the pluses and the minuses. If you still find the minuses are on the higher side....Leave at once....and please come back when...

good bye
I think leaving the forum was an over-reaction, but I do not know what else went on previously. I hope Jeff comes back, with slightly thicker skin, which you do need sometimes on this forum - and in life in general (especially if you pride yourself on 'straight-talking').

good bye
It's a funny thing, this 'leaving in a strop' thing. They say they're going, but obviously the only point of saying anything, is to elicit a response... so it's clear that they aren't going to go at least until they've checked out the responses. Then if they don't go, they look a bit silly. ...

Jessop’s Nightmare
I had a bad experience with Max Spielman before. I asked them to do an A3 print of my bike and it turned out dreadful. The colours were all wrong and the print was out of focus (how the Hell they managed that was beyond me). My mate printed it for me and the result was perfect. I should have take...

Sorry buts this does make me chuckle... A bit like Axel, I used to work in Boots, ohhhh dear. :( We were given license to adjust contrast, colour the lot if we deemed worthy. I didn't even own a camera back then!! Basically if you go into 'the High St' at the weekends you may very well get ...
