So, Home Star Runner is back, and he's got some info about the proper use for the Fisheye lens. Don't know where else to post this really, but hope you all enjoy this.

So, looks like OpticsPro 9.5 integrates pretty nicely with Lightroom. Does it's features (optics corrections, noise reduction tools, etc) make it well worth the price and generally superior to Lightroom? http://www.mikepasini.com/corners/2014/05/21-dxo-opticspro-95/index.htm Unfortunately it...

Nikon has a nifty video out showing the how awesome their flourine lens coat is. I'm going to guess that Canon, etc lens coat does something pretty much the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZsRx_OKTzo

New55 project, working to creates a 4x5 Polaroid replacement (for 545 holder) has it's kickstarter up (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bobcrowley/new55-film). If anyone feels nostalgic, or wants to try and help out the few people still shooting 4x5 please pledge.

So, since there's no real buy/sell forum, I'm putting a shout out here that I'm looking to buy a Pentax 645N. Preferably with 120 back & lens. Right now things are a bit pricey on ebay (along with the potential risk) and Keh.com doesn't have really much in the way of bodies & B&H has them, but...

So Alex Garcia from Chicago Tribune has some suggestions for a Photographer's Olympics. Given his background, seems more like Photojournalists Olympics, but I think it's a great start. Any other suggested events...

Lloyd Chambers has an very interesting post up describing the Sony A7 & A7R & other Sony camera raw file format. Apparently it uses "11 + 7-bit lossy compression scheme". Lossy compression. Seriously Sony. You don't have "14-bit raw recording" when you use a lossy compression scheme...

So, if nobody saw it yet, the Photoshop CC+Lightroom 5 CC got extended again out to Feb 28 for those who currently have a CS3 or later product. Hopefully this means that the program isn't doing all that great with hobbyists or similar who, such as myself, just doesn't want to rely on always...

So I was up early this morning and decided to get some shots with my rented EF 100-400L on my 5D3. These were processed quickly via in-camera RAW processing before resizing on my work computer and posted. I still like them though :)

First, assume that copyright/contracts/permission/etc taken care of for the gallery & artist, so all legal and above board. The actual question: So, I'm going to be taking some photographs of some artwork, primarily paintings/2d work for now, for the purpose of creating digital prints of the...

And so, yet again, I am humbled and recognize that I don't have nearly the artistic talent that many have. And that my Gear Acquisition Syndrome should be toned back a bit. Just...wow. http://www.viralnova.com/kyle-thompson-photography/ http://www.kylethompsonphotography.com/...

So, I've got a friend that I'm helping to merge a couple of large stores of photos, and then I'm going to try and get her out of using iPhoto (ugh...) and onto a real photo management system like Aperture or Lightroom. Personally I use Lightroom, have been since LR2. Other than it being a...

Looks pretty interesting. I'm so tempted, but I really gotta start actually using my speedlites more before I start investing in something like this. Hopefully he's got a bounce & lightbox coming for it...

So Mike Pasini has put up a short, 1/2 hour documentary shot back in 1948 on Edward Weston. http://www.mikepasini.com/corners/2013/09/28-matinee-weston.htm

So, I'll be the guy to start another one of these threads. Storage. Specifically lenses, bodies, and accessories (hoods, batteries, chargers, cables, speedlites, etc). I don't really need any of the awesome Pelican or similar cases. This is going to be for at home, something to keep them...

So...I've been wanting to buy the Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 VC for a while, but had other priorities. I've rented it for the couple of times I need a 2.8 standard zoom and it was fine, but I didn't really have time to use it extensively and of course there is copy-to-copy variation. But, I've been...

So, Adobe, about that subscription only model? I think most of us would like you to re-think it and keep perpetual licenses as an option or have some kind of buy-out program for a perpetual license...
