A) the software does say "Back up before installing"Still suspicious and locked up Firefox today. Why won't they just sell MP3's to prospective buyers like everyone else does if it wasn't malware.

B) the far too complicated fix usually involves dragging an xml file to the trash and holding the option key while launching the program and rebuilding the library database.... the images aren't lost unless the problem was a drive failure...

Yeah I thought the same thing about the hand... the martini glass blends into the glass table.This is the kind of thing where I'd normally plump for b&w, but the colour version shades it for me. I find the right hand activity confusing though.
the solution of course is to point a snooted light at it from behind... but I had 5 mins to take the shots and a flashtube on one of my elinchroms popped in a bad way.... I got a new flashtube coming from toronto... but did not have time to fix anything for a few quick snaps....
maybe I'll work on it some more in post, I got some wrinkles in the dress, and a few strands of hair to remove, and also roots to dye red in the color shot before it's ready to print anyways...

Sadly for Mac users there is no hardware difference anymore besides that they are mostly lacking behind.
Just take the new Air... why did they use a 2 year old processor, why not an i3 or i5?
I wonder how long it will take before they will use Sandy Bridge.
And when will the Mac have USB3, SATA3 and blu-ray support?
Certainly Blu-Ray is already out for years, i've it in my PC for 2 years now

Not anymore! I read about that just the other day by chance.I work in a design practice, using Macs, and there is no practical reason for us to be using Macs... in fact we have to run Windows on a 'virtual machine' simply in order to use Autocad.

What about Maya, 3D max, Catia and Nupas Cadmatic?
If you're in 3D there is just little sense to use Mac [/quote]Well I am truly sorry you wasted your money on blue ray.
dvd was the last of the mainstream shiny disc formats.
between legal downloads, wireless streaming and upconverted dvd's, and flash drives, blue ray was doomed from the start. It is nice that the pc world finally got usb3 and sat3 to keep up with firewire 400 and 800 drives.... hell there was nothing you pee cee'ers could buy in usb2 that could keep up with the firewire 400 that came on my old emac.... especially for editing video.... until last year that is....

Look at the glossy photo magazines and they are full of such photos. It is the landscape equivalent of the extremely thin DOF shot... looks dramatic but it is not an expression of how we normally look at a scene. I like them well enough, but for regular day-to-day landscape shooting prefer something less showy and more representative.

It's true that if you are doing a landscape with a wide lens, the way to "anchor" the composition is to be sure the foreground contains a near object. Really this then becomes an "environmental portrait" of that object, since it is prominent and the rest of the scene becomes context.I broadly agree here, there is a certain amount of technique to filling the foreground with the really wides that I've never quite got!

in the above image I used the 10-17 fisheye to get a mountain shot in with some poppies at Lake Louise in Alberta.
I used the ppoppies to block the view of all the tourists on the pathways between me and the lake.
