Apple's RAW camera support is pretty much on par with Adobe and I'm sure it will continue to be. They have to be on the ball with that stuff considering Aperture is in direction competition with LR.

There's a flat $10 shipping fee on orders, so makes sense to do multiple prints at a time. I recommend the $2 extra for gloss finish, the regular is pretty flat. They also put a logo on the back, which you can opt out of for another $2, but it hardly seems worth the extra hassle. Pleasantly surprised at the quality. edit: here's my order laid out on the floor

What's the difference between changing my AE/AF Lock button on my D80 to have it focus when pressed to just switching my camera from AF to manual focus after I set my focus?

Is there a way to post a set in flickr where I only want people to see that set and nothing else? Besides setting the privacy settings to Only Friends/family?

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I have a question. I just recently started shooting in RAW, but every picture seems to have a lot of blue noise in it, especially in black areas and on that longest sides of the image when I view it in light room. When I export it as a JPEG it dissapears. Is this something that happens with RAW? Is it LR? Am I doing something wrong? Am I an idiot?

MrBlandAverage posted:Is it visible in the 100% ("1:1") view? I don't think noise reduction gets applied to the "Fit" or "Fill" views. Raw - visible in Fit and 1:1 JPEG - Never visible. I guess it doesn't make that much of a difference right now anyways as everything gets exported to JPEG before getting uploaded.

I remember seeing an image with a girl on a bridge shot with various lenses to demonstrate the effects of background compression with wide v. tele lenses. Does anyone have this image? I'm having trouble tracking it down.

How many other people use back-button AF? I recently decided to permanently switch over, because I like the control more and it fits the way I shoot. I only know of one other photographer that actually does this though, so I'm curious about who else does.

Once I switched for some particular shots I realized it was much more versatile, and just as easy, as the single button AF/Meter/Shutter use.

I have the custom function for that on the custom menu on my 40D so I can quickly switch back and forth. Really handy when you hand the camera to someone else. I've found even if you tell them to press that button to focus they will quickly forget.

To you guys who do the back button focus, do you have a grip and use those, or do you find the placement on camera fine? I tried doing the separate back button focus and found it very awkward to use when the camera was up to my face. Maybe I have small hands?

I use my right eye into the viewfinder. I'm right handed and use microscopes and other things with my right eye as well.

 I don't let anyone who doesn't know what they're doing hold my camera, so that's not a problem.I haven't had any problems with comfort, and I have really small hands...I use my left eye in the viewfinder though, despite being right handed.

Pompous Rhombus posted:Me too. I just got curious and looked it up: Wikipedia article on ocular dominance. Haha thanks for that link, it's pretty interesting. quote:The Miles test. The observer extends both arms, brings both hands together to create a small opening, then with both eyes open views a distant object through the opening. The observer then alternates closing the eyes or slowly draws opening back to the head to determine which eye is viewing the object (i.e. the dominant eye)[ Gah I said it wrong, apparantly I am left eye dominant but I've been using my right eye for everything that requires a single eye for years. It feels so awkward to look through the viewfinder with my left eye though. e: Wait so which do you guys use AE lock/AF, or AE/AF, no AE lock? Or rather which is preferred. I'm going to try to swap to using this method for a week or two and see if I can get used to it. Shmoogy fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Feb 2, 2010 |

As someone who shoot guns I want to chime in and say that being right handed and left eye dominant is fairly common. There is even a thread in TFR about it. This is a pretty good link to help you find your dominance. http://www.archeryweb.com/archery/eyedom.htm

That's two parts of my life this affects, and I didn't think about it affecting either part that much until I saw the thread or mention in a thread about it. At least I've got an excuse now for the sneeze spray on the back of my camera when I have a cold.

I only know of one other photographer that actually does this though, so I'm curious about who else does. I asked before but didn't get a response so I'll ask again. What's the difference between setting my back button to AF when held versus just leaving it normal and switching the camera from AF to MF after I set my focus? I assume all cameras have this switch in the front where it's easily accessible. I tried setting the back button to AF but it's just really annoying to keep it held down constantly.

It's really annoying to flick the switch back and forth between MF and AF on the lens and wastes time and you can lose your composition or depth of field if you're working narrowly. And you don't have to hold it down, you can simply tap it when you want it to focus, then recompose as you want.

I don't think intuitive is the proper word for it, I don't think I've really ever heard of people using a dedicated autofocus button instead of priming the shutter button, and I'm sure most people would probably back me on that. Although, I am very new to dSLRs, so maybe it's something that I just haven't really read about. I wont have a chance to go out and shoot due to exams coming up, but I was playing around with it (and using my left eye with the viewfinder!) and I think I might end up preferring it once it becomes a little more second nature to do so.
