gently caress my life. I was shooting some test shots with my K10 a few days ago and set it to 6MP JPEG and forgot to change it back to DNG RAW. Today I shot freshman day for fun because they're always doing stupid poo poo and I didn't realize that I was shooting JPEG.

They came out OK for the most part, but all my beautiful high ISO noise looks like retarded JPEG compression now :(

As far as cameras in space go, all I can imagine is the mirror slapping open and sending a camera twirling in zero-g. I'm sure that violates some law of thermodynamics but I can't help but laugh.

goddamnit why is it that every day I feel like going out and shooting it decides intermittently rain

I can't wait until this winter when every day I feel like going out and taking some shots in the snow, and I have to come to grips with the fact that I just don't want to stand around in sub-zero temperatures trying to adjust my camera with mittens on or fumbling around with the controls with finders that have lost all feeling.

Winter, I love you baby but why you gotta make me hate you?

Sounds like some rich guy just wanted to scream, "Lasers... LAZERS! muahahhaha". they really should've designed something like the Image Fulgurator http://www.juliusvonbismarck.com/fulgurator/idee.html to ruin paparazzi shots.

This is a pretty cool concept, but then I watched the video where they test it out at Checkpoint Charlie and I realized I'd be pretty pissed off if I was a tourist there for a day and someone fagged up my photos with some kind of message bullshit. I mean, that's assuming they didn't tell all the people that they saw shooting what they did. Like that one couple they talked to seemed pretty surprised so I'm willing to bet there were more <:mad:>

Just my two cents.

Did some reading about the digital back used in that "digital holga" someone posted in one of the other threads. It was pretty awesome, with one thing that stood out in particular: It gives you an audible beep to tell you whether your histogram is overexposed, underexposed, or generally on the money. It'll give you a high or low pitch beep if it thinks you need to correct exposure.

I think that was an awesome idea, and I'm a little disappointed that nobody (that I know) has implemented it yet. Seems like it would be much easier to just listen without taking your eye from the VF instead of chimping the histogram after every other shot or something.

If you have EV compensation at your fingertips, you could theoretically fix the problem without even moving your eye.

While we're on the subject of magazines, Google just published copies of LIFE magazine from the 1930s through 1970 (I think) in their entirety, ads intact.

Here's a Photography issue from 1966. Bonus points for old ads :cool:

Want to upgrade to an AF Mamiya 645, but I'm trying to tell myself I should hold out for an AFD-2 or AFD-3 body so I can use a proper digital back on it.

Then I realize I'll never in a million years be able to justify a digital back and I get all depressed :(

On the upside, 645AF and AFD bodies are getting cheaper every day, so hey -- at least I can shoot 120 at 3200 with AF :3:

I don't really have a problem with that particular photo. It helps focus the eye on Obama in an otherwise cluttered room. Not that it would be a Where's Waldo photo otherwise, but I don't really mind the TS in this case.

Though the angle it was shot at does make the TS look a little off. Maybe if they put the photographers dead centre, it would look a little better.

You know honestly what made me switch from Aperture to Lightroom?

The fact that Aperture kept its' photos in that giant fuckall vault file that I couldn't just go into like a normal folder. That aggrivated me to no end for backup purposes. Plus I couldn't just go into a single folder in Finder and copy a photo, I had to export it from Lightroom bla bla bla.

I guess it all made sense, it just seemed really clunky to me.
