dude are you kidding, that chart you made is dope! even design-wise! can you make me one?

 

I've don't think it's really been a problem, but with the Canon bodies I had to jack it up more than I currently do.

Yeah, that is pretty nice.

 

My LR default processing settings set the sharpening slider to 25 automatically. I rarely touch it after that... Maybe I should do that more often

Thanks for the feedback on the chart... Unfortunately flickr deletes the views data after about a month, so you can't pull stats for months prior to the previous month using the API... you have to run the stats every month and save them off yourself.

 

so umm.. I shot for about 20 mins with a gripped D700 tonight... I thought it felt horrible! felt more like a camcorder than a camera. I was pretty surprised, I used to love the feel of the gripped D300 I played with. But I think I've been spoiled by the 7d. The displays on the d700 suck! (the meters and numbers are so cramped and narrow). ok, so, bye.

 

 

I think Canon's feel like childs play things.

 

oh, oops. late night.

 

 

serious though, the D300 has a contoured grip, that felt solid and nice in the hand. did they change that on the D700? the grip felt flat and the camera felt 'boxy'. it felt horrible I was pretty amazed.

and, older Canons yes they don't feel good. they have come a LONG way with the 7D.

 

It's the same grip




You can thank Nikon for the 7D.

 

The weight is sign of reliability.

If it does not work, you can hit them with it.

 

well, it stinks!

and, thanks Nikon.

 

I hope that my carbon fiber tripod is durable, and the metal ballhead should eff some shit up if needed

 

So, my shelf in my closet collapsed yesterday night while I was out. Didn't notice until this morning when I got dressed for work.

My D300 was on that shelf. It fell 5 feet, landed on the SB-600 that was attached, and broke it into two pieces.

My heart is broken.

 

duuude.... that sucks! where did it break? what are you planning to do?

 

 

It broke right near the hotshoe like above it, where it becomes the larger part of the flash.

I don't know what to do. It turns on, maybe I'll super glue it back..

 

oh ok. thats happened to me before, I sent it in and got it fixed for not too much. call the service center find out about it.

 

Will do.. thanks R.

 

I logged into my flickr account for the first time in a few days, and see that someone added one of my pictures as one of their favorites. I was a little about that, being the first time.

Out of curiosity I went to his page and looked to see what else he had as favorites. As soon as I clicked it my fiancee came in and sat down talking to me. I look back and ..........I'm looking at a screen full of thumbnails mostly of half naked men in awkward positions, with occasional normal pictures mixed in.

 

 

 

for me, eventually when i get a monopod, (right after i get tripod legs for my ball head )

im going with the 681B.

:ouch:

 

Big ouch...

Sorry man. Wait, what broke, the body or the flash?

 

The flash...

 

 

Oh, that is TOO funny, I just took a look...

 

oh... oops.. bad first flickr experience. let it pass.


(LOL!)

 

Want to see some REAL weird shit, take a look a some of the people that favorite Rubin's pictures. There are some eff'd up things on flickr.

 

damn really? I think I looked twice. I did see some weird shit so yeah I pretty much never do that.

 

I just did it with the last weeks, was a little surprised.

 

your mileage may vary..

 

tonight I was watching the fireworks at the lake in my town, we got there just before it started so I was in the back standing. There was a woman sitting in front of me with a DSLR with the kit lens attempting to take pictures over and over and OVER, yet didnt know what she was doing, and was hand holding with the popup flash firing every time. Normally I could care less, but its dark and Im trying to watch the fireworks myself, and I kept being blinded by her flash. Quite annoying

 

lol fireworks fail. you shoulda grabbed her camera and thrown it into the ocean.

just kidding.

 

I wanted to beat her with it. Especially when I would look over her shoulder to see the terrible pictures that she was getting while blinding me

 

Photography...so easy a monkey can do it. <hr style="color: rgb(209, 209, 225); background-color: rgb(209, 209, 225);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message -->

 

by some weird chance, I ran into another friend with a gripped D700 today. And I tried it again, and again it felt like a camcorder. So it wasn't a fluke.

 

I wonder what made you like the D300 then....
