photo transfer application
Hi all. I'm looking for a photo transfer application that will allow me to quickly work through a batch of JPEGs on a memory card and decide which to keep and which to discard, copy the keepers to my hard drive, and optionally apply some basic operations like crop and resize. I'm currently doi...

Nothing suitable from Pentax, so I've gone Nikon
Well I've done a roll. And I'm not happy at all. Why? Because it contained a picture of me, taken some time between '85 and '88. Sadly, I can no longer delude myself that I'm not getting older. The scanner works well though. I've tried the Nikon software, and I've tried VueScan, which I'...

What filters are you looking for? I might be able to oblige with one or two. G That would be great, George! The only thing is: I don't know what to get yet. Have been thinking about a Cokin or Lee system so that I can use the filters on any lens, but then I don't even know whether I'll use them ...

A polarising filter only works when the sun is roughly at right angles to the subject so I dont think it will do much for a sunset. A polariser will saturate colours by removing unwanted reflected light from the subject. The most useful filters you could have might be a polariser and a 0.6 and 0....

If you only use one or two lens then screw on may be the best way but if you have a number of lens the Lee/Hitec/Cokin systems may be the way to go. You are likely to need ND grads perhaps ND solids and polarising filter if you take lots of shots that suffer with reflections. As all good filters cos...

It would probably depend on how many different screw threads you have. I've four lenses at present, and each of them uses a different filter thread. Having said that, each lens is for a different purpose, so I dont mind too much. I'll hold off getting another Circular Polariser until I know which...

Using A Flash
I missed both, due to a very annoying thin layer of cloud at about 8000 feet. I know exactly what you were feeling Chris, we had traveled to Folkstone to see the eclipse at its best, all we got was 100% total cloud cover, there I was, along with several others, cameras on tripods long lenses and tel...

Haze filters and DSLRs
Having looked at the spectral responses of some typical film and digital sensors, I notice that, not surprisingly, the green and red sensitivities are far better separated from the blue curve and the selectivity is better. This leads me to conclude that the optimal haze filter for digital could hav...

Haze filters and DSLRs
Yes but getting rid of haze all the time is not what you want - that will get rid of some wanted colour components in some pictures. A built in UV filter shouldn't remove any of the visible haziness. A haze filter would be a 'least worst' treatment (short of a large vacuum cleaner to get rid of all ...

Haze filters and DSLRs
Some filter manufactures (e.g. Hoya) do make 'digital' versions of filters perhaps the reasoning you have given is why they do so.

Haze filters and DSLRs
Nothing about filters but you said, you want a UV filter to cut the blue channel so that you've less noise. You can of course select the blue layer and do a noise reduction on it, I have done that before and it's quite effect, also because your eyes aren't as sensitive for blue as for green and red...

Haze filters and DSLRs
As always, it depends what you are trying to achieve. By and large I no longer use filters with digital, preferring to apply the effects in Photoshop as required. The polariser remains the only filter to retain its usefulness, unless a protection filter is needed to shield the lens perhaps from s...

How to take amazing space photos
You should stop by Cloudynights.com and check out the photos there. Thanks for the link, this one looks very good. This is my latest photo - 35Mpx mosaic of Eta Cygni region in constellation Cygnus. 3rd bigger photo I took since 2008. Its 4 frame mosaic which contains 20 hours of H-alpha data...

SRS Micro
Has anyone else found ordering from them to be akin to pulling teeth? I've used them a few times now and on each occasion they have taken the order and then sent an e-mail telling me the item is "out of stock". I could perhaps accept this on something of high value or maybe "specialist" but when ...

SRS Micro
I noted that they have a tie-in with PU, nevertheless when we are talking about something as everyday as a 52mm ND filter, is it unreasonable to expect them to hold stock - it's not like they take up much room or are too expensive to have sat around, is it? In respect of your other points, Watfor...

SRS Micro
Well......I once tried to order a ND filter with Chris. Same thing happened. Chris tried very hard to get it for me,put all the extra miles into it, but the problem wasn't Chris or SRS. If you as a company doesn't get supplied, then you can't deliver. And lets face it.....There isn't exactly a fast ...

SRS Micro
Filters must be SRS’s achilles heel… my last order was for a K7 + DA* 50-135mm and two circular polarising filters, a 67mm and 77mm. Every thing was fine except they had sent a 72mm filter instead of the 77. But it only took a phone call to sort it out and I had the replacement 77mm the next day.

For the better good
These Developments are exciting as they usually filter down to more affordable Camera`s eventually! With Hasselblad developing a new Autofocus system it just shows how far there is still to go in Camera Evolution! Regards - Pete
