Digital photography

The person makes it.

^ Do you cycle and shoot at the same time?

No, but I have developed nifty footwork. And tolerance from the players having me on court.

Went to the abandoned Putney Hospital that was mentioned by someone a few pages back. Really cool place!

Nice! I like the processing too.

Think I found out why my embedded photos were getting knocked back to Thumbnails. Size! Some subjects deserve more than 640 pixels.....

Mr AJ. As far as I'm aware, 1024 Longest is largest image you can embed. I dig big iamges, but unless you're running 30" screen, it's kinda pointless.

A massive thanks to Ben. Dem mojo is back. Being able to shoot without stopping is a godsend.

Yeah, go big or go home!!

Seriously though, this forum resizes huge ass pictures, and I think it makes sense, especially for portrait formats.
I don't know how big your screen is, but what's the point if an image is much bigger than the srceen?

Mr Jones, also consider easing up on the extreme PP.

'merica.

I'm using a 27" screen. I have been uploading at the max which is 2047 and never thought that was that big as the dng's are around 6000 on one edge! I will scale it back and embed them. All the same there is a big loss in quality but a picture should have more to it than pixel power alone.

Bored of the sooc look. Not much post on the last one anyway. I can understand the wet plate conversions are not for everyone but I liked the effect on the clouds in the statue one.

Fair enough, just my uninformed opinion anyway.

Very true detective

I think my DSLR has finally given up the ghost after 3 owners and about 8 years.

The mirror won't flip to take a shot, considering they only sell for about £80 in working used condition it's probably not going to be worth getting it repaired.

Now I'm left with the choice up buying something similar or upgrading.

I use a 35mm eos slr too so have a few lenses and would quite like to stick with them, I like the idea of going full frame so I don't notice the big difference in focal length when switching between film and digital with the same lenses.

I'm thinking about trying to find a 5d mki for cheap, any opinions?

Cheers

5D mk1 is a fantastic camera if you don't mind the size. It was too big for my liking, but boy the images that comes out of it are great

It's worth getting the battery grip btw, makes it great to handle. But even bigger.

Just what I wanted to hear, I won't find the size limiting I don't think because as it is I only used the DSLR when I was going out specifically to take pictures. If I'm just out and about I have a point and shoot in my pocket.

Looks like I'll try and get one then, my thinking was that having an older full frame camera would be more useful than a modern, lower end, crop sensor one although video would be a bonus if I went that route.

The downsides with the 5D mk1 as I saw it was high iso and lack of video. I never really missed video, but it goes quite grainy over iso 400-800. That said, it's nice film-like grain so it doesn't ruin any photos.

on the subject of grain i've recently upgraded to a nikon D800 and i've never ever ever been happier with a digital camera, ive been pushing its ISO loads (this was shot at 2000) and i think the grain looks really nice, its allowing me to shoot a lot more situations in natural light!
