Photography: Camera sensor size difference

google told me it was an add-on

so it is. it used to be an 'about.config' thing with a bit of fiddling.

If that's true, how come you can't even see the models tits? textbook error.

if you want to then you are a paedophile her models tended to be her children who she made to look a lot older and sexualised the subjects in a very uncomfortable way. Personally I think she had issues.

It's not page three nimbus!

a photographer? issues with sexuality?

surely not.

Old man? Grumpy? Surely not.

ok, but, she's used a longer (0.5s?) shutter speed and water to achieve the same effect of subject in focus + background bokeh. So there goes your argument.

there's some of you who is a bit confused by the whole 'cropped sensor' on DSLR.

ed the only thing I'm confused about is why people would be confused!

simple innit.

and: I just traded in a FF sensor camera (1Ds) for a crop sensor + 2 L lenses. The lenses won't devalue, whereas every body does.

so there.

Bought a mother fucking Nikon 80-200 f2.8 today, the lens is enormous, it makes me feel like a real man, I might go out tonight and get pissed up and kill some people.

I have an 80-200 2.8 its a beast of a lens I love it. Pin Sharp and better in my opinion than the overrated and overpriced 70-200mm 2.8

you should, you totally should do that. you rule.

no point worrying about if a sensor has great natural colours if you only shoot jpegs in sRGB and view on an uncalibrated monitor and not printed properly.

Any recommendations on products for calibrating monitor/printer, would be greatly appreciated.

The 80-200 has an aperture ring, this alone drew me to it's gigantic barrel like silhouette as it danced naked and unboxed in the shop window like a cheap optically accurate whore.

I know, it's true, I am going to get my leather trousers on and then go out and rule.

If London try Teamwork in Foley St, W1.
£50.00 and they know it all.

80-200mil ey? That beastie will go well with my ton-and-a-half f5 nikon
With a set up like that a two to three hour shoot compensates any gym visit

as I said earlier, order prints from photobox, they usually send out a calibration print with your first order (looks like a TV test card), they have the same image on the website, so you can compare the two as you twiddle your monitiors knobs!...

It's a few years since I did this, so worth checking if they still do this....

Today I bought an axe with a 6lb head, makes me feel the same way, think I might have more success though.

what's that for, kindling?

Although tools shouldn't be interesting and it's the results that count, given the prices of modern lenses a little interest in glass can save money. Such as the photo in post #1 - I use a 1965 Takumar f1.4 lens (£14ish) on a 20d. Way way cheaper than a modern f1.4 50m lens. And it helps take some great photos (bokeh-tastic) :)

that´s all that needed to be said, I won a photography competition 2 months ago using a Kodak disposable camera whether everyone was using their 500 quids digital camera.

I have a wood burning stove...and they just cut down the ash tree in the ground-floor flat's back garden, free heating for a couple of years....
