    5DS R pushed 2+ stops

    I have a 5DS R rental from lensrentals for the weekend. Yesterday I took it out to the Oneonta Gorge and for a couple of the shots I had it set to -2 2/3 exposure compensation by accident. I decided to see if those images could be saved in post. I've owned the 7D, 5D Mk II, 5D Mk III, and 6D. I...

    Moon photos

    I don't know if a new or dedicated topic is warranted, but I wanted to share a very clear image of the moon I shot tonight using the Canon 6D and pre-IS 400mm f/2.8 L II w/ Canon Extender 2X II and Kenko extender 1.4x (1120mm f/8, 1/350s, ISO 800)

    Nikon makes development announcement for D4S

    "As Nikon's new flagship model, the D4S will offer advances over the Nikon D4 digital SLR camera that include even better image quality enabled with adoption of a new image-processing engine, and more advanced autofocusing performance." This doesn't sound like a new sensor is in the works...

    Anyone tried the Replichrome "film look"presets

    So, I guess these are supposed to be a much better alternative to VSCO film packs. Anyone tried them? The reviews sound good. I wish there were a free trial...I realize that is not really possible with Lightroom Presets. http://www.gettotallyrad.com/replichrome/

    Chipworks report says Canon and Nikon trade sensor fill-rate for video features

    "Canon and Nikon released the 1D X and D4 FF DSLRs, respectively, both of which sacrificed fill factor to add transistors serving as floating diffusion (FD) node switches. These switches add the flexibility to perform charge-domain binning for video modes." I'm not trying to restart the...

    Question about editing for online consumption

    I edit on a 27" iMac which has a pretty nice IPS LCD display. I make sure that my Lightroom exported JPEGs look good on screen before publishing them or sending to other people to make sure the color space change and compression haven't ruined the look. When I come to work and look at them on my...

    dpreview has a samples gallery from a pre-production SL1

    CR guy said to pay attention to the IQ out of the new sensor and here's a first look. The ISO64000 images look really good to me, though there is a lot of NR applied. http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/reviewsamples/albums/canon-eos-100d-rebel-sl1-preview-samples

    Registered for Google I/O. Anyone else attending? Let's take pictures!

    I'm staying through Sunday and wondered if any other people from this board would be there. I'll be shooting the city while I'm there and hope to make it up to Muir Woods for some photos as well.

    I solved my own problem, but thought I would share

    Last night I tried tethered shooting in EOS Utility with my 5D Mark III using studio lights and a sync cord. The strobes would not fire when using Live View. They worked fine through tethered shooting with out Live View. So, I did some digging and found that under the Live View settings you...

    Older L lens repair 400mm 2.8L II (non-IS)

    I own the pre-IS 400mm f/2.8L II and see that it is not listed on the CPS repair eligible list. My lens is working great at the moment, but I am concerned that if the USM fails or something else goes wrong that I am going to have a very expensive paperweight. I am considering selling it while I...
