lol i dont know.

btw that pic is certainly a roflcopter pic... I think I took it in June...

shhhhhhhhhhhh

 

hahaha. its cool man.

 

it better be.......

 

Wut

 

Hmm. Trying to figure what should be my next purchase. 35mm, 50mm, or lighting

 

I let my dad spend some time w/ the RX100 over the weekend. He ordered one on Monday.

 

Nice.

 

This is for any of you who do street photos (I know is300 does)

If you ever get people confronting you

Not sure if this is practical or even worth looking at.

I assume it would cut some confrontations but the guy across the street may see you

Let me know what you guys think!

 

usually the live view with tilting screen is good enough for me

 

Haha yeah that works, but you're still pointing in their direction

 

this would be amazing for the club.

yep will order.

 

it's how you're behaving too, if you look suspicious, then... yeah, they might know... I usually have that confused look on my face, as if I'm trying to figure something out on the camera. And the camera doesn't have to be perfectly leveled because if it's kinda tilted, then it's not as obvious (just crop later in in pp). I guess it's all how you pull it off.

during the winter or when it's cold, I like going out wearing my beanie because I guess I kinda look intimidating (when wearing the beanie)... I mean to a point where the homeless don't even approach me for change

I guess even if people "think" I'm taking a picture of them, they don't bother confronting me.

 

Is flickr running REALLY slow anyone else right now?

 

never mind

 

Let me know how it works out srika!

Thanks eater, I don't do street photography but I thought it was a cool idea for those of you who do.

 

 

Any of you guys use Photoshop Elements (11)? For $90 it seems like a pretty good deal.

 

just watched "I am Bruce Lee" the documentary... REALLY enjoyed it...

but anyway, saw a picture of Bruce holding a Nikon... I guess he was avid Nikon shooter

 

Well people can't do too much about photographers shooting people(lol pun) in public. Its always good to have your photographers rights with you at all times. on a iphone or itouch is a good way.

If somebody ask you if you took their picture, just be honest. and if they asked you to delete it then just do it. Just a common courtesy.

 

ok guys. hmmm 40mm f/2.8 or 50 1.4?

of course the 50 would be the obvious choice but its still too tight (about 80mm) on a crop to shoot with in certain places. but the the 40(about 62mm) is bit more reasonable. i would like to have a 35 or a 24 but not really to looking to spend that much for them at this moment.

 

Isn't the 40mm pancake like $150 as opposed to the 1.4(300?)

 

199 and 360 new

 

The 40 has a $50 rebate until dec 1st. Putting it at $149

 

50 1.4 is $340 until dec 1st.

 

anyone know if a PC with 3rd gen i3, with 8GB of RAM good enough to do Lightroom (4)? I don't do any video editing

 

I have the first gen i7, 6gb ram and I'm running LR4 just fine

 

okay... so, would you say the 3rd gen i3/8GB RAM is somewhat close to your 1st gen i7/6GB RAM? Sorry, I'm like totally computer challenged

 

Any third gen processor is leaps and bounds better than my 1.7 ghz quad core i7

But if you can find an i5 for not that much more, go for the i5. But I'm only saying that because I'm an IT guy myself and I always want the best. I guess you can relate that to camera gear

 

Didn't they just announce a new 35 f/2 IS? How much is that? Maybe that's another one to add to your potentials list.

 

what the hell did they do to Photobucket??? I really dont use my account since moving to Flickr, but still use if for anything non photography related. I can barely even figure out whats going on, and couldnt view my own pics larger than almost thumbnail size before getting frustrated and closing the page.

 

I thought it was just me. I don't know wtf i'm doing in there anymore. Maybe I should try flickr.

 

I heard it was going to be around 600+ or double the price of the old one

 

More like $800

 

not to mention is always slow as hell (the mobile app is even worst)... I, too only use it to host random pictures with no importance

 

I don't use photobucket (because the photo quality sucks - I wonder if they have improved this by now) - but just for fun I went and looked at my account to see the changes - looks like a nice new interface, and I easily see the "Upload" at the top, and everything else looks arranged nicely and intuitively. I don't see what the problem is.

I mean it's not like going from Word 2003 to 2007/2010... or other situations where they've turned something upside-down...

 

oh, yeah... and that too

 

The mobile app on iOS is fine. I set it so it auto goes to the upload section. And I like that it auto copies the IMG tags for forums

 

it's have been slowed on my Androids, but it's slow on the PC too.... And is it just me? Or does it make you read the legal fine prints (PC) EVERY TIME you log on?

edit: actually, the new format seems to be fairly faster on the PC, not sure about the app

 

I haven't signed onto the website for a long time.

But on the app no fine print.

 

I was able to change it back to the old version, when asked why...I said it sucked, and that if I had not been able to do so, I would have abandoned the site
