Yep, exactly what I was going to suggest. Also, which video light did you use? Pro2800, V8, DS161? All pretty cool setups. -- www.benseese.com

In the two images on the right, look for gross brown-ish banding around the top & right sides of the image. And look at the top corners of the images, which are _much_ darker in the 'broken'...

Incorrect. For program-specific issues like this, a screen shot _would_ help. To demonstrate, here's my currently-broken Windows Vista...

As Patco said, this is a pre-AI lens. It's likely to damage your D7000 if you mount it. The easy way to indentify AI/AIS (compatible) versus pre-AI (damage-causing) is to look for a second row...

Probably not, but thanks anyway, and sorry for the false accusation. You've convinced me that these are single shots. But how they happened, I still don't understand. In my experience, thin...

Did you forget to mention that you cut & pasted the moon into the two cloudy shots? Per EXIF: at f/6.3, 0.6sec, ISO100, the full moon should be six to seven stops over-exposed (f/11 or f/8,...

I direct-messaged JYU yesterday to remind him. No response yet. Technically, he's got something like 8 hours left before the 2nd-place finisher is supposed to take over. But since there was a...

Paul, thanks for finally bringing some sanity to this thread, which is otherwise full of half-stated garbage, frankly. Your explanation is great. The one thing I'd like to add: For this...

Nice work, Jason. Here's my ISS + Endeavour shot just a couple hours after separation: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/5775540146_c81932109e_o.jpg Shot handheld with my old 200mm f/4 AI lens...

I use the functionally equivalent: "Strobies by Interfit, Delta Remote, STR123". Includes all three proprietary Nikon remote cables (D70s/80, D90/D7000, D300/D700), and the receiver itself uses...

Sorry, but this won't work. The problem (as I've explained to you twice in your other thread) is not that the histogram is too dark. It's that it's too _red_. No amount of adjusting exposure is...

With normal subject matter, taking a new custom WB reading is even easier on Nikon. Hold one button, snap a shot, you're done. No menus involved. Right, the problem, as I mentioned, is a...

Right, but you're misunderstanding the purpose of that system. It's there so that you can _match_ the WB from a previous photo (like if you shoot with the same studio strobes every day). If that...

Looks fun, but my first thought is that it looks like a great way to pump a lot of tiny paper fibers onto your sensor. Might want to take an f/22 shot of the sky to see what you've...

Any chance you were using a bright lens & high ISO to allow a fast shutter speed? Those CFLs are flickering 120 times per second, and their color balance shifts wildly between flickers. So if...

Lemme guess -- you've used a Canon DSLR in the past? That's their technique for obtaining a 'calibrated' custom WB. But it's not how it works here in Nikon-land. Get the camera back to PRE and...

Waitasec... Do you then subject your house guests to sitting on your couch and watching your videos on your TV??? Have you already forgotten the boring slideshows of yesteryear? Or do you skip the...

If your subject-line question was genuine, you'll have to work on your tact before you expect thoughtful replies. As it stands, you appear to fall in line with the anti-convergence curmudgeons that...

Obviously it's Mitch's call, but my opinion is that this would set a bad precedent. And your entry is plenty strong as it is, Roman. ;-) -- www.benseese.com

Yeah, I was surprised to see you & eNo beat me to the punch here, since I kinda figured I was the only one here with a 55mm 2.8 AF. :-) Any other lurkers out there? -- www.benseese.com
