Also to update the thread I bought a Rebel G on KEH for $20 and stuck my nifty fifty on it. It's a pretty boss camera. It weighs like 1/10 of a pound.

So further to stuck part removal chat, here are the results of quarter of an hour with a Dremel on my Zeiss Jena 180mm/2.8 and EOS adapter, and some pliers to peel the ruined adapter off. I don't recommend this approach for pretty obvious reasons - some small damage to the lens mount, but mainly the huge amounts of ultrafine metal dust that gets everywhere. I suspect this is not good for the lens, but it was either this or be left with a useless couple of kilos of metal and glass. Now mounts fine on my Pentacon Six and no obvious problems with the mechanism!

For some strange reason, and I don't know why because the mental institution that I work at is the opposite end of the city, and there are no care in the community programs going on in that area, there is a section of lovely canal in the middle of nowhere which will always have one random paranoid schizophrenic or a junkie on it . Police on bicycles have a theory that there is a drop off point somewhere around there but it's a mile long stretch and they will be damned if they can be arsed looking for it when they got strava times to beat. and this is why I carry a sony DSLR with minolta big beercan or my D300 with me when I'm out taking photos of friendly ducks and little tweety things on the canal.

This is fairly interesting as I also have a Pentacon Six Lens with a stuck adapter... Maybeit's something with the adapter or lens mount design? I'm also trying to saw throught it, just with no dremel...

Hello! I recently switched from Windows to Mac. On windows I used Picasa for basic photo tweaking- cropping, compressing for emails and other use, and renaming in batches, mostly. I just went to download it and found out that Picasa isn't being made/updated any more. Any recommendations for basic photo management software?

The one bundled with OS X is supposed to be a go between of their 'for everyone' software with some of the features of their discontinued pro software. I think, like usual with their v1 overhauls, it probably pissed people off more than attracted to them but you might find it does what you want. Creative Cloud photography pack is $10/mo and gets you a photoshop and Lightroom license. Most people who aren't 'open source or death' just go for that.

Fair enough. I'm probably just paranoid but shooting with light cameras/phones at high shutter speeds I always feel like it's not as sharp as it could have been if it just weighed a little more This is coming from having either a heavyish dslr or my much lighter galaxy s5, whose camera is complete garbage. It's ok when it decides to focus, when.

I have a budget of about $200 and a willingness to buy used. What can I buy that's good with low light photography and has interchangeable lenses?

RandomPauI posted:I have a budget of about $200 and a willingness to buy used. What can I buy that's good with low light photography and has interchangeable lenses? I don't think you'll find anything for that much, certainly not with a lens. KEH.com (where we all shop for used gear) has Nikon D7000 for $328 in 'bargain' condition which will still be totally fine. I would save up more and do that, then find some cheaper prime lenses locally. I found a 50mm/1.8d prime for ~$40USD on my craigslist.

For $200 your best bet is prolly some m43 body and a fast prime

Look for a panasonic M4/3 body with the kit lens on it, it's one of the best kit lenses out there. Bargain wise you want the Panasonic Gf3. It's identical to the GF5 in every way but they shifted a chip around so it didn't overheat during long video use. Random link showing the average buy it now price of $140 with kit, with the change you can pick up a a second hand sigma prime to go with it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Panasonic-LUMIX-DMC-GF3-12-1-MP-Black-Digital-Camera-w-14-42mm-Lens-/231858371115

I have a question about sensor crop modes/digital teleconverter/ex tele conv. If I'm shooting wildlife and am unable to fill my frame with the subject and unable to zoom with my feet for obvious reasons, then my options are to crop in post or set a crop factor in-camera to reach a higher effective focal length at the cost of smaller file size. If both of these methods result in a 8MP image (from a 16MP camera), is the 2nd one better?

I wound up buying the same model from a different vendor. I didn't have the link handy so I just searched for GF3 and went with the cheapest one with a lens. Thanks for the advice!

My wife's a PR consultant, and one part of her job involves taking large numbers of photos from photographers, weeding them down to the ones she thinks are most marketable for whatever story she's pitching, and submitting them to various media sources. So she's getting thousands of photos from these people, ten thousand at a time sometimes, and she's a) storing them on dropbox, and b) she's got no real way to catalog them. I'm guessing she needs some kind of digital asset management, but what? She needs someplace to store these images, and to be able to catalog/tag them for easy retrieval: #gaywedding, #groom, whatever. What are some options that are a) dead simple to setup and use, and b) reasonably priced, like ~$1,500 per year?

When you say "taking" do you mean "buying the full rights to" or "right click and save picture as"? e: it's a really confusing post with the ten thousand at a time thing.

Yeah I didn't word that very well. The photographers are her clients. A photographer hires her to get his photos seen in publications, so to do that she gets to know his work. Then when she hears of a writer at Martha Stewart Weddings doing a story on, I don't know, gay Indian weddings in Texas, she says "oh yeah, the Gupta wedding matches that" and she'll try to get those photos used in the piece. Her problem is that some photographers send her 100 photos, which is fine, and some send her 10,000. It's getting hard for her to manage, hence her need to catalog and organize it all. jackpot fucked around with this message at 07:08 on May 8, 2016 |

That's really more of an enterprise IT question since I really doubt the majority of dorkroomers are dealing with assets on that scale. Are there no Dropbox app integration whatevers that does what she's looking for? The enterprise DAMs have differing prices based on scale, so it's probably best to request a quote from some trusted ones like WebDAM or something.

Any roll-your-own solution would probably cost way beyond your budget and would be way outside your expertise level given the scale and the trouble involved keeping it running and more importantly, running securely. I would consider using a pre-existing service like Smugmug Business or something where you don't have to worry about running out of storage or availability. As far as I know, Smugmug doesn't put a cap on storage space, and it extracts the metadata from photos for search purposes.

Would it make sense to also tackle the 10k photos at a time problem and encourage the clients to prefilter these somewhat via pricing?

Anyone do Lightroom work on recent Macbooks (the 2015 models) or Air? How good/bad is it? I'm thinking that with 8GB of ram and 512GB or more of SSD it should be good enough for to get by, but the processor options give me pause. The i7 you can get in the Air is certainly plenty, but I've never used the m3/m5/m7 processors for "real" work. My machine at work is m5 and it's fine, but all it does is terminals and web browsing.
