Hu Fa Ted posted:Your point is valid, and maybe this is an over-abundance of caution. But when my hands are covered with grease or covered in metal chips (ow ow ow) I just keep the iphone in a plastic baggy. When I need to concentrate on a bandsaw or the lathe I can stuff it in my pocket. The d40 does have support for the remote, and the remote is dirt cheap I think (10 or 15 bucks?). You can get one for even cheaper if you go with an off brand version instead (amazon has some for 3 bucks).

Ambihelical Hexnut posted:I don't know about his situation but my problem with it is that the android tablets don't generally have that much storage above one of my cards; for instance, if I'm shooting 16gb or 32gb cards that I will fill up once every day or couple of days, there's going to have to be a conventional hdd in there somewhere just for economy of size. Can android copy files from a card reader then back out to an external drive without a bunch of rear end pain? Not really, I don't think there are any tablets with 2 usb ports. You'd either have to be using microsd cards, or you'd have to copy from the sd card to the tablet and then back to the hard drive.

Medpak posted:I have one of those Nikon lens pens, like the one you posted, and it works great! Obviously you want to get anything off first with a microfiber cloth, but then clean it up after with one of those. The lens pen I have comes with a soft brush thinger on one end to get the big stuff off the lens first, it's nice not having to carry a cloth separate.

Pompous Rhombus posted:My friend got roped into setting up a photobooth for her mom's event. Is there a free, easy-to-use program that will do stuff like this: I normally use Paint to black out stuff like that. But seriously Gimp would probably let you make a template with a few layers, and then you can just paste in your 2 or 3 pictures into layers in between the pictures, rotate the layer (super quick if you know how many degrees and how much to resize the picture before hand), and then you're good to go. Might take some work setting up the template, but once you have that ready it should be quick to do.

It's not a Pentax ME Super.  On a serious note, make sure it's got good batteries, see if there are any apparent light seals missing or nasty looking, make sure the shutter seems to fire like you'd expect it, and then shoot away.

Zenostein posted:I've got a possibly stupid question: what is the purpose of setting the film speed on old manual/film cameras? I can understand if the program modes on slightly newer film cameras take the film speed into account while choosing shutter/aperture settings, but what does it do on say, entirely manual cameras? Is it just a reminder? Even on a full manual camera the meter needs to know the film speed to let you know if you're going to expose right.

I got stopped by security when I brought a camera through. She wanted to know what sort of telephoto lens I used but she lost interest once she found out that I shot nikon instead of canon. I was waiting for the person I was traveling with to get through security, so she was just chit chatting while I waited

The worst part was that the lens was a Tamron, so she could have gotten it anyways (it was the lovely cheap tamron though, not the nicer VC). No harm in the end I suppose.

Legdiian posted:I don't much about it, but I have been in houses where photographers were using a big fancy camera attached to a Macbook and doing what you described. I think the higher end cameras support tethering software that works over a wired connection to the camera. Midrange cameras work fine too, I think it's only base model dslr's that don't feature tethering support nowadays (of some form or another).

Yeah, I never shoot jpeg but if you're using some in camera tilt shift processing (which is sounds like was), it's going to be a hell of a lot easier to just work with the jpeg the camera spits out.

It's probably legit (the company seems to be a real one), but it seems pretty hard to do. If the controller chip is fried they'd probably have to solder a new one on to read the memory, which doesn't sound fun. On a related note, if it's an actual hardware failure I don't think you'll be able to do anything yourself to fix it, short of buying a matching sd card and swapping controllers (assuming there isn't some sort of software lock or some nonsense). Basically, is it worth 100 pounds to get some pictures of a card, versus just buying a new card and moving on?

Right, an aperture of f/4 will require the same shutter speed and iso for a proper exposure regardless of what lens you're using. So a "fast" lens just lets you open that aperture up wider than the other lens might. A fast lens lets you use a faster shutter speed (also it nets you smaller depth of field than otherwise possible with a slower lens).

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend cotton swabs, seems way too easy for stuff to come off and get left on the sensor. Pec-pads are cheap though, and they are what's on the sensor swabs, should work fine if you get a nice sensor sized stick to wrap them around.

The trick is getting work to buy those for you to borrow in addition to the kim wipes. e. But seriously I find the pecpads to leave less residue/dust behind, but also they're more durable, so I can wipe off 5-6 slides with one instead of going through 5-6 kimwipes.

Can someone explain the basic situations where I'd want to use one lens over the other? http://www.amazon.com/Understanding...anding+exposure Buy that, find it at your local library, borrow it from a friend, either way you should read it and it'll be good for you.

That looks like FD mount to me as well, which means no infinity focus without corrective optics. Could still mount it if you want a cheap macro option though, I suppose.

On the same note don't photograph bridges or mountains or other things that people have photographed before. What's the point! Might as well throw your camera away, really. Combat Pretzel posted:Everyone's going like "waaah, hot pixels" all the time doing long and bulb exposures, so it's a valid question. Especially when I want to capture like a total of 30 minutes of light or something like that. Lightroom will do just fine at removing hot pixels if you shoot in raw, you're going to run into issues with light pollution before hot pixels ruin your image. Long, long before then. If you're staking with something like deep sky stacker, just take a few pictures with whatever iso/time you were using for your stacks, but with the lens cap on, and then stacking software can use those dark frames to delete the hot pixels.
