- the new healing brush (lite) is a hundred times better than the old retarded spotting brush which forced you to use twelve circles to clone out a hair. It's still not as good as PS's spot heal brush, but it's good enough to do 80% of what you want. Worth the upgrade just for this, imo.

Didn't an old version of Lightroom have that better healing brush?

I taped a lens in forwards (but accidentally upside‐down) yesterday. Does that count?

The duck tape took the finish off my adapter. :argh:

This year's Pulitzer prize winners have been announced. (Incidentally, the actual Pulitzer site looks like it's from 1917.)

dpreview posted:

Columbia University has announced the 2013 Pulitzer Prize winners for photography. The prize for Breaking News Photography was awarded to jointly to Rodrigo Abd, Manu Brabo, Narciso Contreras, Khalil Hamra and Muhammed Muheisen of the Associated Press, for their coverage of the conflict in Syria. The winner in the Feature Photography category is Javier Manzano, a freelance photograher, for his 'extraordinary picture' of two Syrian rebel soldiers illuminated by beams of light streaming through bullet holes. The annual awards include a cash prize of US$10,000.


Javier Manzano - October 12, 2012. Aleppo, Syria.

Incidentally, I've also found my new calling in life to be a Leica reviewer.

quote:

It is impossible to explain in words the joy of this "Leica feel". You just have to try the camera out and experience it for yourself.

quote:

Why would someone spend big bucks to buy a top quality camera body and spend a fortune on the finest glass obviously looking for the highest possible image quality and then have the camera configured from the factory AND default to a lesser quality image? Makes absolutely no sense to me. In my opinion, all cameras should default to maximum quality everything. Then, if the user needs to shoot at less quality for whatever reason, the user should be the one to temporarily pick lesser quality settings.

quote:

The large rear screen is great, but the thumb tends to end up in the upper right corner of the screen when holding the camera. The screen corner is sharp, so after a while it causes discomfort in the thumb. Also, you end up with a smudge on the screen.

quote:

To summarize: All I am stating is that using my methodology under real world shooting conditions on a sturdy tripod and using an Epson 9900 for large prints, to my eyes the Leica outperforms the D800E by a good margin.

And then he spends his time in his backyard's real world shooting conditions.

Bullet holes image is horribly underexposed. Has the guy never heard of photoshop or at least high ISO?

What how? There's no concurrency control I don't think, so either it doesn't work the way you expect, or it'll blow in your face at some point.

Note: If a user attempts to open the iPhoto library while in use by another local user, iPhoto will instead display an alert message. This alert will also appear if a local user attempts to use iPhoto from the disk image over a network.
So yeah.

Eames chair. Ex-gf picked that one up for me at an antiques store. I have a bunch - some I've "acquired" and some I've paid ungodly amounts of money for. These days people tend to have an idea of what they are so they're hard to find and liberate.

You don't understand. The piss jug needs to be kept away from you, but always in sight, so you know it hasn't been stolen.
