Re: Street Photography
Dear Herve,
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I quite agree with the need to be unassuming. But that cloak of invisibility soon lifts once the D200 is raised to the eye (or even the hip),...

Street Photography
Here's a follow up to the video of Jeff Mermelstein linked in the 'photography' thread. How I envy the talent of the guy to push his Summicron under the noses of strangers in the street - I was...

Hi Scott,
Yes, I had one image used without permission to illustrate a travel website. But I knew the risk when posting. What annoys me, however, is that the TE file size limit is too small to...

Paul's a lot cleverer and more patient than me. I've never been so tempted to throw the PC out of the window then when I was grappling with the NX menus. But I agree it offers excellent results and...

Re: NEF images
Hi Taba,
Your CS2 software should have come bundled with Adobe Camera Raw. But for the D40, you may need a more recent release of the Raw software (I think version 3.7 is now downloadable from...

Re: NEF images
Hi Taba,
Not sure which software came with your D40 but you're certainly not limited to Nikon software. Nikon Capture NX produces excellent results but is VERY slow to run unless you have the very...

Re: Lens advice.....
Hi Rafal,
My advice is. . . BUY NOTHING. You take magical photos with the kit you have. I very much doubt the 17-40 Canon performs better than your present Tamron - unless you are thinking of...

Re: Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX DC HSM
Emiel,
But I'm not sure you can return a lens on the grounds that it is not quite as sharp or as well-corrected as the one made before it or after it on the production line.
It was this...

No problem. It's a small masterpiece (and so much more deserving of points).

Re: Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX DC HSM
David, Sigma have some fine designs (I have the 24-70 EX in KM) but their quality control leaves a little bit to be desired. Buy a good one and it will wipe the floor with most things; but there are...

Professor Ryan
"wipes the EXIF data"! What sort of processing does Professor Ryan subject his poor little 5D files to in his laboratory?! Whatever he does, it works - great tones and sharpness. Best wishes Stephen

Re: 50mm: f/1.4 vs 1.8? Quick help deciding needed
I know the feeling, Cliff! You'd really made the decision but were looking for some support for the more expensive choice! I'm sure you'll be very happy with the 1.4.
By the way, if you shoot RAW,...

Re: 50mm: f/1.4 vs 1.8? Quick help deciding needed
I'd suggest the Nikkor 50/1.8. Like most 1.8s, it's a tad sharper than the 1.4, smaller and lighter and you're unlikely to miss the 1/2 stop when shooting at night (e.g. 1/6 vs 1/8; 3 seconds vs 2...
