I think what we all really want to know is if you put a low quality filter on it, does that affect the taste of your drink?

I woke up at like, 2am, got up, packed my camera, got in the car, drove around 20 klicks to take a photo. Wandered around bushland in the height of nowhere for 30 minutes. Went back to my car, drove home, crawled into bed. It's like I'm dedicated, but lazy. I don't get it. Helmacron fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Oct 10, 2010 |

Ehhhh, going to sell my Mamiya 645. I can't justify the cost of shooting film while unemployed anymore. Just going to concentrate on digital. I feel pretty sad about it but I'm comforting myself with the thought that I'll be rolling in Hasselblads when I'm a rich man again. Words can't express my

That's sad, but also the reason why I won't start on film. I'm taking a film class so I keep thinking, well I could just make my own darkroom and get my own set up and oh yeah that money thing...

Yeah. If I hadn't bought a D200 and was in need of a lens I might have even sat on it. I'm fishing for a 35mm 1.8 so I'm hoping to unload it. I really did love that camera though

You can that stuff for pennies on the dollar (if not less) though. My 4x5 enlarger was free, and I've spent maybe another $130 getting lenses, misc equipment, and paper/chemistry together. Still, if I was a student I'd rather use the stuff at school so I'm not lightproofing my bathroom and hauling a 4x5 enlarger + various and sundry in and out whenever I want to print  Film isn't like digital where you can shoot as much as you want for "free", but at the same time the prices on equipment have pretty much bottomed out and you can always re-sell whatever you're done with for whatever you paid, sometimes more. Couple that with cheap Arista films for B&W and doing your own processing and it's not so bad. I SEE THROUGH YOUR BULLSHIT MARTYOOF!

Film schools are pretty awesome. I'm teaching an animation workshop and their tech department gave me a half dozen 50d's and a 1Ds Mk.III to play with for the week. Goddamn is that thing nice.

Continuing the conversation from a couple months ago, I have thousands of pictures organized only by date in Lightroom, and I need to clear off lots of hard drive space. Is there any way to organize the pictures that have been edited in any way? Just select all the ones that have been cropped/adjusted (or the reverse?)

Buy another hard drive or something, storage is cheap these days and unless the photos are super awful, out of focus etc there is no real reason you should get rid of them. That said not sure how you would select edited files, often when you import a preset is added, thus editing it.

There is probably a way, as they get that little thing added to them on the thumbnails once they're cropped/edited, but I'm not really certain how to do that. You don't use the star rating to organize stuff? I use 1 star for things to be edited, 2 stars for edited, 3 stars for something I'm proud of, 4 for something I would put in my portfolio, and 5 hasn't been used yet. I also use the color markers but they're used for different things.

GWBBQ posted:Yeah, even really noisy pictures and light and dark clipping aren't the end of the world. A pro photographer who's a friend of my mom said that every time a new version of Adobe Camera Raw has come out, she goes back to some of her older digital pictures to see how they look with new processes and finds that more of the rejects she kept are salvageable. Heck, just look at noise reduction and sharpening from Lightroom 2 to 3; by the time version 7 or 8 comes out we'll be able to sequence the DNA of the people in our pictures. And do like CSI and zoom in on that dude in the background to see what kind of underwear he's using with our x-ray-o-vision filter.

It's pretty ridiculous how small the gap between "video cameras" and "photo cameras" has become. My sister is a film student, and has never owned her own camera because of the cost of entry. Meanwhile, I'm all about the cost of a 7D. I'm not saying Micheal Bay is gonna be doing his next movie on a DSLR, but it sure seems like it's only a matter of time before the shift happens.

Speaking of which- this dropped in my inbox today: http://magazine.creativecow.net/article/5d-3d That team is doing stop-motion 3D video using a 5D mounted on a robotic arm. Manual kinematic control and software smoothing is used to drive the camera along its path twice- once for left eye and then offset by 3mm for the right eye. What I found odd is their claim that transferring each JPG via ethernet took 7 seconds.

I had this dumb assignment this morning to shoot an intersection in a residential neighborhood where parents are speeding to drop off kids for school but now they installed signs blah blah blah... anyway I was trying to get a picture of one of the signs in the foreground, with a police car recording video off to the left, and the main complaining resident in the frame just beyond the sign, which was all a pain in the rear end because I had to hold the camera over my head to do it. After motordriving the poo poo out of the scene and still not getting the composition I wanted, I remembered, oh yeah, live view exists.  30 seconds later I was on my way home with the (lovely) frame I needed.e: It's fun getting yelled at by cranky parents with nothing better to do. "WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE A PICTURE OF MY VEHICLE?"

The small JPEG transfers fast enough to make tethering worth it and the RAW files just save to the card.

Heads up to flickr or potential flickr pro users, you can get a free photo book for signing up or renewing your pro account, no idea what the book is like. http://blog.flickr.net/en/2010/10/15/go-pro-make-a-pretty-book-for-free/

Went to a little photo show today, checked out this amazing UAV photo platform. 6 rotor RC, gyro stabilized, GPS control etc etc. Similar to this: http://www.draganfly.com/uav-helicopter/draganflyer-x6/ but it was a kit build. Guy said it cost about $5000 for all the bits, then many hours of building and testing. It can do some amazing stuff, low res video feed for control via radio or boosted bluetooth, full telemetry via same (gyro position, compass, altitude ++), it can keep its position (they used it to suspend a huge banner) or even follow a person. He had an app on his phone called Follow Me which talked to the helicopter.  I want one so bad I'm having serious problems controlling my bladder.
