^Agreed on all points

On a different note, did you guys know the LR3 catalog is a SQLite database? You can totally open that baby up and query it like any other SQL db. The table structure is a little cryptic but you can export it to MySQL and have more flexibility. Here's a quick look into all the photos I took in 2011, putting aperture vs focal length as a bubble graph with bubble size indicating number of photos at that f-stop and focal length combo:



In other words, I should be looking at buying a prime in the 24-35mm range soon - preferably one that is <= f/4.

As would I.. But the only compensation I'd like is a formal introduction to her.

iTrader: (1)

Fixed.

Mizouse

Well

But I'd like to start somewhere... / be realistic

srika

LR3 runs on cryptic SQL??? well that explains a lot, lol. (i.e. it's slowness).

that graph is so frickin' cool, wish I could do that kinda sh*t. if this is something you figured out yourself I hope you are doing the 'right' thing with it, if you want to go that route I mean, I mean this is the basis for "viral" type of internet becomings, you can hit it big with that and if you have your blog setup right with ads and sh*t and post it on there you can make some money off this.

of course I would try to meet her but my attendance would not hinge on that

wndrlst

Agreed. Your post is Greek to me, but I'd value a similar interpretation of my own shooting

thinking about heading to the inlaws house in the mountains next weekend. The local scenic railroad does a single run every january called "steam in the snow" They run out, and stop in several spots and allow you to disembark and they then make a run by you for photo ops

this is the train

Mizouse

awesome.

Mizouse

It would for me. Otherwise she would be just another pretty girl I've taken a picture of.



I mean I'd go if i had a 1% chance of actually meeting her

Mizouse

soo????? everything show up ok?

Mizouse

btw. liking this eye-fi card.

i set it so my RAW files on my 1D goto my CF card and a small jpeg gets sent to my iPhone via direct mode.

so much nicer to preview images on my iPhones 3.5 inch screen than the 1DIIn's 2.5" screen.


only thing that sucks is that if my iPhone auto connects to my home network it wont receive any images from the eye-fi card until i disconnect.

Mizouse

it was kind of a pain to set up as my iPhone wasnt able to pick up the eyefi wifi network, but when i opened the eye-fi app it had a option to set up the network for me.

srika

it didn't occur to me but, the nightclub I went to tonight is the place where this happened:

http://deadspin.com/5847345/one-arma...d-epic-bar-tab

some of you may remember that from earlier this year. it was my first time there. and I actually got a photo of the server who waited on that 100k tab. I had met her before a few years ago.

here is a random shot from tonight I felt like dressing up a bit:

yeah, everything looks good, scratches are tiny. I havent had a chance to play with it yet though

srika

ran into another club photographer at Spybar Friday night (one of the best in Chicago), he showed me his new cam... a really good condition 1Ds3... that he picked up for.... $1500. I hate him. so much.

Mizouse

how???

einsatz

Stolen?

srika

I checked more details... "Bought by a non photographer and never used..." and he got it from.... Calumet photo.

srika

I used to ponder whether something like this could happen...

I used it to take pictures of my old lens before posting it for sale. I'll give it a good workout this weekend

To those in the DC Area that depended on Penn Camera for rentals or prints, they're going down under

http://www.washingtonpost.com/busine...PbP_story.html

They posted a message on their website: http://www.penncameras.com/message.html

I know people that work there, fellow photogs I met in photo classes. It's sad. I'll have to stop by their E St. shop soon to check out what type of deals they have for clearance - I suspect they won't be great.

jupitersolo

Good riddance, another store that was never any use to me is gone. Whenever I tried to spend money there, item was out of stock, in another store or the person behind the counter didn't know what I was asking for.


Another bullshit item to this, they sold giftcards in Nov and Dec knowing they were going to close up shop. And those who didn't use them will now have to fight to get their money back. Those who bought them with credit cards might be the only one's to get their money back.

Long live Ace Photo and PhotoCraft !!!

wndrlst

I'm glad you like Ace Photo. I am most often talked down to like a 4 year old in pigtails when I go in there. I did finally have a good experience last time when returning a flash, but I do my best not to patronize them because they're so..patronizing. :/

srika

^^ woops.... posted those photos in wrong thread. anyways.


i had a curious encounter with a girl at the Tesla store today, she had been shopping to get a DSLR and so she asked me some questions, asked what camera I was using. She was kind of surprised when I told her, because she had read online that the 5D requires a tripod for use. I smiled and told her the internet is a crazy place and to check any information on multiple sources and not take user reviews too seriously, especially when they make proclamations such as that.

einsatz

That doesn't even make sense

srika

to be clear, it's nothing against her, she told me she got into photography in the past year and was looking to upgrade her Rebel Ti. So she had been researching online. It's more an indication of the absolute garbage that is out there regarding cameras, and a reminder to not take things too seriously without trying it and using it yourself.

What you can't use a tripod with the 5D??????
