  • 1) The ability to nest folders

    2) The ability to have unlimited items in a folder

    3) Removal of the barriers between apps sharing data

    4) A "finder-like" application that allows file...

  • 100%, off-center crop. Gull was the focus.  100%, off-center crop -- she was the focus. 50mm at about 100 feet. Bottom line: Use the center point, then crop to taste.
  • ...reading the complaints about it just makes me laugh. That center point is great; the interface is smooth and unambiguous; the zoom to your chosen zoom level allows instant focus checking; the...
  • Yes, Kudos to Samsung. I think this is *really* smart of them. It's probably a forlorn hope to get Canon to follow suit, but I sure wish they would.

    I've been thinking about a second camera;...

  • I shoot to reveal things that otherwise cannot be seen at all. Low light auroras that at best, are a vague glow to us, come forth in brilliant color when exposed for time; deep space nebulas burst...

  • What a tempest in a teapot. Her opinion of what's pro or not, or who is... completely irrelevant to my life.

    What's important to me is that they get after what's actually lacking in flickr;...

  • And yet, it is superb at all of those. Super fast, super sharp, one of the best-light gatherers in the lineup... Funny how that is, when your aim is other, your results are other. [wink] No, but...
  • So I'm out late last night, trying to shoot a really faint aurora, and I notice that my focus-on-a-star didn't get me critical focus. Usually does, no matter, really. Without really thinking, I...
  • Replied in Two things
    First, the crop is just a little too tight; a little more room on the feet at least, and I'd go for a little more on the head, too. Second, the legs are very awkward. She looks like a duck, sitting...
  • Replied in Yes
    I use it constantly to remote control the camera via my iPad. If the USB cable connector dies, as it did on my last camera, I'll also use it to transfer images, even though that's relatively slow....
  • For some. For me, what makes it stand out is the light gathering and its (relatively) low aberration -- coma, ca, etc. The bokeh is of no particular interest to me, or even serves as a drawback,...
  • Commented on Celebrities who love photography news story

    I suggest we use a new acronym: NSFP "Not Safe For Prudes"

    Because it isn't just work these sites are unsafe for, and it is strictly prudery that defines the "problem"

    I can think of few things...

  • The two apps may act differently in tight memory conditions, or with GPU availability. Just a thought.
  • Wow. Good thing I didn't upgrade then. I used the heck out of those before Apple dropped support of OSX 10.6.8. Hoping to build some support for the 6D into my current version of Aperture; I'm a...
  • Lol... you got it exactly backwards. I think *Aperture's* controls are far superior to lightroom's. Not sure what you read that made you think I was saying otherwise. Can you quote something I...
  • No, I just misspoke. Haven't been using it long, just since Apple hosed the RAW support for 10.6.8. Yeah, Lightroom is missing a brightness control. Very weird. Aperture has both a comprehensive...
  • I switched because Apple dropped support for camera RAW in OSX 10.6.8 -- Wouldn't even have considered it otherwise. 10.6.8 is where I'm staying, the last upgrade was a huge PITA (for me, your...
  • Yeah, ok, you all had your fun. And now I'm having mine, and you can all nuzzle your "wish I hadn't said anything" teddy...

  • Other issues where the 5DmkII trails the 6D: Wifi, GPS, less weight. Wifi is useful to remote control the camera without wires; iPad excels at this. GPS is useful for any type of out and about...
