Yakuza1970

I heard the cargo was military vehicles. I can only imagine these large, heavy vehicles shifting and slamming the insides of the aircraft, possibly severing vital hydraulics, control wires, etc....

Great shots!  I've been asked to take pictures of a good friend's son who's on his first T-ball team in a couple weeks. The Dad is the team's coach too. Would you care to share any tips? Best...

I recently watched an interesting documentary about the educational system in Finland. You may come away with a new perspective about how to improve the education system in the U.S.: Warning: it's...

I AM a teacher and I would not in my wildest dreams have imagined having to consider carrying a firearm when I started teaching over 15 years ago! I can't imagine what it would be like for the...

Several years ago, I went to the U.S. Nationals Fencing Championships in Atlanta, GA to watch my niece fence (sabre). I brought my camera gear along and shot away. At first, I shot only the fencers...

Woo Hoo! Finally!

I'm still waiting for an Aperture update to process RAW files from my Sony RX100 and that's been out since July. I'm really hoping the update comes soon.

I use Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant. Keep in mind that applying protection (waxing/sealing) is the last of four basic steps of detailing: washing, claying, polishing, waxing/sealing. The brand of...

Sony RX-100. Pricey? Yes, but it's quite an impressive camera. It's pocket-size, speed, build, and image quality of its 1" sensor is excellent.  My only complaint so far is the lack of 24mm on the...

I'm sure I'm like you and many others that are very tempted by the D600. However as a D7000 user with a lot of money invested in DX lenses, when I factor in the lenses I'll need to purchase to take...

The RX100 has this feature built in called the "Illustration" setting. You can only use this feature with jpegs though.

Very cool! What poker tournament were you two playing and how did you do?

I briefly looked for a plug-in for Aperture 3 that would add an illustration effect to photos and found one that was $129 (ToonIt!). While I'm sure the Illustration effect in the RX100 is much more...

I was taking some pictures with the Illustration effect on but forgot to change it back before I took a couple shots of my cousin's kids. I can't figure out if it's possible to undo the...

I agree with jmpics2. I'm pretty sure that's dust on the sensor so you should absolutely send it back. Dust on a sensor is a relatively common problem for DSLRs and mirrorless camera systems with...

Mine is straight. I agree it's annoying but if that's the only flaw in your camera, I'd just keep it an live with it than risk getting another copy that could potentially have a more significant flaw.

I bought an RX100 a week ago then sped off for a short trip to Southern California, including Disneyland/California Adventure (Carsland & Radiator Springs Racers was awesome). I had planned to...

Count me as a newcomer to this forum too as I just ordered an RX100. My main camera is a Nikon D7000 but I like to have a P&S camera for the times I don't want to carry a large DSLR (very common...
