8th-snype posted:Not an old wives tale. The in camera format is recommended for reasons. The first being that deleting files doesn't actually remove their data so if you never format you may end up with weird errors once you run out of space. The second being that cameras aren't nearly as standardized as computers, so if the file system they are looking for doesnt exist or isn't working right you get more errors. I've seen both of these problems semiregularly when dealing with camera handling nonexperts. I stand corrected.

Not endorsing this one, but it should give you a place to start searching: I did some research a while ago and the only device that offers direct copying from a card to an external device and doesn't cost $$$ appears to be this:  https://www.ravpower.com/rp-wd03-filehub-6000mah-power-bank-portable-wireless-router.html

xzzy posted:That is one hell of a swiss army knife. Not all sure on the lack of internal storage. On one hand it means your storage is only limited by how many hard drives you bring along, on the other, it's more wires and boxes you have to haul around with you. I like it specifically for that reason since it means I could carry a string of USB flashdrives and copy to them and make multiple copies - one left in the hotel, one on my keyring, etc without taking up much space. Last trip I did, I took a windows tablet with keyboard and I think I used it once as a tablet and the only other use was backing up files. Apart from that, it was a deadweight: especially since my smartphone could do pretty much all it could, apart from file copying. Taking a powerbank with this ability makes a lot more sense for me

404notfound posted:I was looking up some photography books to suggest to someone and noticed that Michael Freeman's The Photographer's Eye has a "remastered" 10th anniversary edition: https://www.amazon.com/Photographers-Digitally-Remastered-10th-Anniversary/dp/0815375662 *thinks* sounds like marketing bollocks. ... yup quote:This is a 10th Anniversary 're-mastered' edition of the original book - the re-mastering' evidently refers to digital printing - I have the original version and there's no apparent difference in quality of the printing (which was good in the original). the content is the same. I had expected an update- at least in some new images or 'reflections' so I do find the re-mastering unnecessarily confusing. Nevertheless, the book is excellent - Michael Freeman is one of the very best authors, thoughtful, learned, academic - so not a light read. A great deal is presented in as accessible manner as is possible without over-simplifying. quote:This refers to the latest edition, the 'remastered' version. 'A completely refreshed look' actually, from what I have seen merely means a different cover, and a revised layout for each chapter heading. The text, layout and pictures all appear to be the same. Be careful if buying this thinking it is a revised edition in terms of text and photos, as it appears not to be that at all. The book itself is excellent, but this marketing attempt trying to get you to think this is some kind of 'remastered' edition is just cynical and cheap way to get some people to buy the same book again thinking they will get something new. Shame on you the publishes and the author for allowing them to do this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Photographers-Eye-Remastered-10th-Anniversary/dp/1781574553

CodfishCartographer posted:So I’ve been playing around with my Minolta X700 and loving it, it feels so satisfying to be shooting on real film! However, I’m a little confused on specifically how the exposure compensation adjustment works. I understand I can adjust it to get +/- up to 2 stops exposure, but “how” is that extra/less exposure achieved? Is it through shutter speed? Say I’m shooting without a tripod and don’t want to get under 1/60 shutter speed, but I also don’t want to open up the aperture a ton to mess with the depth of field. Will over exposing with the compensator make up for that, or will it just slow down the shutter speed anyways? I assume it won't open up the aperture, but I'm not sure how else it could increase exposure, aside from witchcraft or something. It just alters the meter's measurements. So, if the meter says 1/60 at f5.6 is the ideal exposure, adding +1 will make it now say that the ideal exposure is 1/30 at f5.6 or 1/60 at f4 (depending on what mode you are in)

I don;t think it is solarisation as instant film uses different chemistryquote:In short, the mechanism is due to halogen ions released within the halide grain by exposure diffusing to the grain surface in amounts sufficient to destroy the latent image.

Dudeabides posted:I'm taking a quick trip to Chicago for the weekend and wanted to have the DSLR with just in case. Usually I take my bag with me but I think I'm just going to travel with the body and a lens. I'm debating between just having the nifty50 with or if I should take the 18-55mm with. Thoughts? Crop body? 50mm = 80mm equiv and that's just a little too long for indoor stuff and you'll find yourself trying to back up into the top corner of a room.

EL BROMANCE posted:What’s the fastest aperture the kit lens can hit at 35mm? You’ll certainly notice better results in low light situations when you have 2 more stops or whatever to play with. In my opinion - absolutely this. As soon as the sky goes a bit grey, that's when I appreciate the extra cost of a prime. My 30mm f1.4 sigma could get usable images in light levels where I wasn't sure about my own eyes.

Helen Highwater posted:Your files are wherever you imported them to. By default, it's the same folder as the Lightroom catalogue but you can specify a different path inside the import dialogue and Lr will put them there instead. Possibly a redundant comment, but be aware of the difference between 'copy' 'move' and 'add' when you are importing.

birds posted:Been trying to decide what film I want to bring on my upcoming trip and I decided on Cinestill 800T. I plan to shoot it during the day and at night. Since it’s Tungsten balanced there’s going to be a blue cast in photos taken under daylight conditions. Cinestill recommends using a warming filter but is this something I can fix entirely in post with no filter required? https://github.com/pforret/Lightroom/tree/master/Develop%20Presets/onOne%20Photo%20Filters%20and%20Gradients Even a Lightroom preset to do the filtering for you!

um excuse me posted:The suggestion for winter shooting, besides keeping the camera above the recommended manufacturer's limits You can make the transition faster by keeping the camera in a thinner bag when you make the change in temps. The key thing is to let the condensation form on the bag, not the camera/lens - so a ziploc bag works just as well.

is to let the camera transition slower from cold to warm conditions by keeping it in the bag for about an hour. Less than ideal, but a little forethought should save any major inconvenience.

rio posted:Not sure where to ask this but does anyone know how to sync presets between computers in Lightroom? Is there an option within the CC to do it? I booted up my old MacBook Pro and forgot that I had a whole tone of presets I made years ago and I�d like to take them over to my current computer which is a Windows 10 pc but there are so many that it would take way too long to make them all again manually one by one. I googled it and see info on taking presets to Lightroom mobile but not to another computer. http://www.lightroomfanatic.com/tutorials/behind-the-scenes/exporting-lightroom-presets-and-templates/

My copy of LR 6 stopped working and after farting around for a while, I decided to go to LR Classic CC 7 It wants me to upgrade my catalog but I am cautious in case I want to go back to 6 - Am I right that if, inside 7, I tell it to write everything to xmp sidecars then in the worst case, I could launch 6 and get it to create a new catalog that would incorporate all those changes (I don;t care about collections or ratings)

xzzy posted:When upgrading it saves to a new catalog, it'll add some characters to the saved file and leave the old one there. So, upgrade the catalog to 7, turn on xmp sidecars Then if I decide I hate 7 (or it stops working or whatever), I can go back to the old 6 catalog, then sync it with the library and it will bring in all the new photos, complete with their edits? Tha sound right?

TBH I am not sure I 100% understand how sidecars work with LR - especially as I shoot in jpg. I think that this catalog setting may do what I want it to do:  E: I think it does: I took a jog, cropped it in LR Then in File Explorer, I copied it - both original and copied version were uncropped Then I imported it into LR and it applied the crop That seems far more clever than I thought you could do with jog metadata spog fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Nov 8, 2018 |
