srika, I would've thought you'd shoot 100% raw for PP WB/exposure adjustments given the environments you shoot in.
25mb per RAW on the 7D is higher than I would've expected!

I get up to 17mb on the NEF files with the D700

I think the shutter may finally be on its way out, it's lasted way longer than I thought it would. At the Armin show it "Err"ed on me once and wouldn't fire. Thankfully turn off/turn on and it was good to go again. And shot more on Saturday nite as well, without any codes.
But I definitely have a 7D in my sights, I would rather invest in that than fix the shutter, at this point. I can always do that later.

I think that is the same i do Lightroom does simplify my workload in most areas so I shoot raw. Then export to jpg then resize in photoshop form 12 quality to 10. Just really shrinks the size for stuff I won't edit over again. So I scrap the raw. Stuff worth keeping I will leave the raws.
I shoot so much sport stock for my school that when i eat a whole 400gb in one year its kind of like holding me back from ever shooting like a nut man.

oh yeah regarding 1DIIn vs. 7D write/buffer speeds... its 8.2 vs 18MP... just another (big) factor.

I just happened to snap this Chicago traffic shot walking across a bridge, after taking other pictures of the skyline - sometimes the most usable shots are the ones you just take in jest. I didn't get anything for this other than credit and a link but that's fine by me -

You've got it set as "copyright" on the flickr page - did they ask for permission first?
The copyright stuff I've had used by other sites has been the same - ask for permission, I give it, they use a thumbnail, my name and a link to flickr. CC stuff is different of course, but that's the point.

This is a video taking with the new D3s, but that's not what I want you to see. Start watching at six minutes in and watch the two shot set up at that point. Pretty cool and worth giving it a try.
The first part of the video has srika all over it for the music.

ive always wondered this, but what is the proper way to say these ridiculously high ISO numbers?
ex. im used to saying 3200 ISO as "thirty two hundred ISO" or 6400 ISO as "sixty four hundred ISO"
whats the proper way to say 12800, 25600, 51200 or 102400?![Scratch](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/scratch.gif)
obviously you wouldnt say "one hundred twenty eight hundred ISO" and probably wouldnt say "one hundred two thousand four hundred ISO" just seems like so much to say.

Don't feed the...WTF?
I just tend to favor normal numbers. I know sports cars are not ISO's... but I don't see the difference in numbers.
"Hey.. I bought this sweet ass lambo for $102,400 (One Hundred two thousand, four hundred dollars)"
Not "Hey - I just bought this sweet ass car for ten-twenty four hundred"
But that's just me

Talking dollars yes, talking numbers I try to make it as little as possible. When I say my house number I don't say ten thousand, one hundred and twenty-three. I say 10-123 Main St.
ten-twenty four hundred would be 1,020,400.00
ten-twenty four hundred would be 1,020,400.00

for 12,800 I normally say it like..
"One hundred two thousand, four hundred minus eighty nine thousand, six hundred"![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Honestly, I would probably say like "twelve eight", "twenty five six", etc.. Because it's not too long and makes sense to me, probably not anyone else though.

I say, "it's a really high ISO"... if they ask me for the specifics, I just walk away.

I recently did some reading on bokeh. And found out the Canon 50 1.4 has horrible bokeh. The Sigma 50 1.4 has much smoother and quality bokeh.

for anyone wondering about bokeh...

Bokeh.
A term borrowed from the Japanese, pronounced with short vowels. (ie: more like French pronunciation - bo-ké - versus long English diphthongs - bow-kay.) Essentially bokeh, which is Japanese for blurring, refers to the quality of out of focus areas of a picture. Bokeh can be important for portraiture - you want out of focus areas behind the subject to be smooth and as non-distracting as possible. Highly patterned or sharp-edged areas don’t look as good.
Many factors in the design of the lens influence bokeh, which is in turn a pretty subjective concept. For example, lenses with very few aperture diaphragm leaves (perhaps 5) tend result in pentagonal out of focus highlights. Lenses with more aperture leaves (7 or 8 or more) tend to result in rounder out of focus highlights. This can affect bokeh under certain circumstances, though is by no means a guarantee of good bokeh.
Mirror lenses are notorious for bad bokeh - they have annular (ring or doughnut shaped) out of focus highlights and fine detail lines tend to appear as double lines. This form of bokeh, “cross-eyed” or “ni-sen bokeh,” (Japanese for two line bokeh) is one in which detail lines appear as blurry double lines.

Autopano Pro is a great application.

I was thinking of saying it like this "ten" "twenty four hundred"
which gives you "10" "2,400" or 102,400
![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
I think I put the dash in the wrong spot earlier.

I see that number would be "ten twenty-four hundred", "not ten twenty four hundred".
My son has been doing this type of homework for the first three weeks of school. Taking numbers and having to spell them out and such.

Thanks, and thanks to srika too!
I started off really liking the CS4 merge to pano app when it came out, but after figuring out the nuances of Autopano Pro, I vastly prefer it now. Even just being able to save your progress as you tweak the pano in Autopano is worth the price of admission.
