  • Replied in flicker is finito
    The writer of the article suggests that Instagram and Facebook are the serious competitors for Flickr, but I don't see that right noe. You don't have to search far for blogs and articles claiming...
  • Submitted a challenge entry Big Carpet
    Placed 54th in the challenge.
  • Commented on challenge entry Breat Egret Display in the Birds challenge

    This was my choice for first, because it's a good photo and not just a photo of a bird. Congratulations on taking it.

  • Commented on Leica announces APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH normal prime news story

    People pay more than this for diamond rings. And those are completely useless.

  • Replied in Got the flash card reader for Ipad3
    Freddie - Thanks for telling us about it. I'm going to order one. -- Jim ----- My eBay Photography Guide: http://camerajim.com
  • Replied in New ipad for raw images
    If oranges cost 16 times as much as apples, I would not buy many oranges. -- Jim ----- My eBay Photography Guide: http://camerajim.com
  • Replied in Reliable Compact Flash card reader for Ipad 3
    I'm wondering where that device gets the extra power it needs for the iPad 3. Please come back and let us know if it works for you. -- Jim ----- My eBay Photography Guide: http://camerajim.com
  • Replied in Reliable Compact Flash card reader for Ipad 3
    Peter Have you tried a powered dock, with a USB port. I'm guessing this might work reliably, but I don't want to fork out the money for the experiment. -- Jim -----W My eBay Photography...
  • Replied in Reliable Compact Flash card reader for Ipad 3
    I would like one, too. From what I've found so far, though, the iPad 3 will only read from a POWERED compact flash reader, since there is not enough power at the outlet to run the card. This...
  • Replied in Saw a camera the lens front taped up
    Are you sure there wasn't a pinhole mounted on it? -- Jim ----- My eBay Photography Guide: http://camerajim.com
  • Replied in the world in a waterdrop
    Thanks. I had the light on the left side, aimed at the background print of a NASA shot. I placed a black card on the camera side of the light, to shield the lens and feather the light on the...

    I did something similar a few years ago, using just my kitchen faucet and one speed...
  • Submitted a challenge entry Eagle and Flag
    This is not a photoshopped background. The flag was there.
    Placed 335th in the challenge. This is not a photoshopped background. The flag was there.
  • Submitted a challenge entry Flamingos
    Placed 304th in the challenge.
  • Replied in headshot lighting ?
    That is a great tip. Thanks for the link. I have used the "shift your weight slightly toward the camera" instruction, but this more directly accomplishes the same thing. -- Jim ----- My eBay...
  • Replied in headshot lighting ?
    Check out this guy. http://www.headshot-photography.com/ He is a leading headshot photog in Hollywood and he mainly uses natural light in his garage. -- Jim ----- My eBay Photography...
  • Replied in Why No Inexpensive DSLR's For Point & Shooters?
    Today's entry level DSLRs are incredible bargains. An early 70s Nikkormat would have been at least $200 (body only). In today's money, that would be about $1200. -- Jim ----- My eBay...
  • Replied in Tablet ready
    Yeah, it works on my iPad, too, though a bit kludgy. I can imagine it as an app which lets you control the lights by touch. As it is, it's nice, but it could be one heck of an app. In its...
  • Replied in Virtual Ligthing Studio
    I'd like to see that turned into an iPad app. -- Jim ----- My eBay Photography Guide: http://camerajim.com

    I guess I don't understand, because I thought all honest voting was good, including voting in challenges in which you are entered. I always vote that way. I try to make my votes fair and I'm not at...
