    Re: RAW processing - what do you use, and why?

    late to the thread, but mainly because lately I've been wondering the same thing--which one should I be using? Before I got comfortable in my skin in CS4, I used DPP exclusively. Then once I started...

    Re: HDR

    You can do pseudo-HDR with a single image--so long as you convert it to a 16 (or higher) bit image.


    The pseudo HDR ends up looking similar to what you might achieve by
    doing a lot of...

    Re: Does Canon Image Sabilizer makes Noise?

    My 24-105mm f/4 L IS is much quieter than my 70-200mm f/4 L IS. I reckon that's because of three different things:

    The 24-105 is a much heavier and shorter lens, meaning the IS doesn't have to...

    Re: Please advise: 2nd 5DMII or 7D or both?

    I've traveled in the Jordanian Desert, the Negev, and all over Syria, and had few concerns with changing lenses. Of course, once I change lenses, I keep the lens on for a good long while--I don't...
  5. Re: Recommend Photoshop plug-ins / supplemental software

    I'm glad someone other than me thought that about the Portraiture examples.


    Watching the videos of the u-point system made it look intriguing--can you make the area where the u-point is...
  6. Re: Recommend Photoshop plug-ins / supplemental software

    It matters what kind of camera I use? Isn't noise, noise? I have a Canon XT being converted to IR, and a new T1i (someday I'll get a 5D Mk II... but for now, I blow my money on lenses). Of course I...
  7. Re: Recommend Photoshop plug-ins / supplemental software

    [Responding to shoukov] Yeah, but Noise Ninja is at least as good as Noiseware, and I get an educational discount that makes it $20 cheaper. I like the Imagenomic RealGrain plug-in, but their...
  8. Recommend Photoshop plug-ins / supplemental software

    I shoot landscapes and other still life-type stuff. Historical buildings, etc.


    Recently upgraded to PS CS4, running on a brand new computer, so I'm anxious to make the best use of all this...

    Re: 70-200 F4 L IS or 70-200 L non-IS ???

    Two other things I can add, then:


    The 2.8 non-IS will be better at stopping fast action, the 4.0 IS might be a smidge better at capturing low-light conditions when you don't have a tripod. So...

    Re: 70-200 F4 L IS or 70-200 L non-IS ???

    EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM = ~$600
    EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L IS USM = ~$1000
    EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM = ~$1250
    EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM = ~$1600


    The big question is if you need the bigger...

    Re: Recommend lenses (especially for IR landscape)

    Johan beat me to it. Another site that does it--same price and quality (I think) as LifePixel--is LeZot.


    Runs $325 at either LifePixel or LeZot. Check out the sample photos on LifePixel & LeZot...

    Re: Recommend lenses (especially for IR landscape)

    Well, BuyDig continues to impress me. I placed my order for a new
    T1i on Thursday afternoon, chose the free shipping (7-9 days), and
    Saturday morning I had the camera in-hand (that's less than 48...

    Recommend lenses (especially for IR landscape)

    This site is like heaven for me, and now that I found the forums, I'm even happier.


    Background: before the digital age, I shot film with various bodies from an old indestructible AE-1 to an...
