  1. Meh....I'd rather shoot multiple smaller cards. Less risk involved. I can't see the need just yet. For studio work, just shoot wireless to a PC.
  2. Check the lens too. Best way to check it but don't freak out...set the camera for f/11 and shoot a solid blue sky or white / cream colored wall then do an auto levels in Photoshop or post processing software. The dust will smack you in the head. Again, don't freak. Some go f/22 but I don't recommend shooting above f/11 anyway (except for macro work). If it's a bright day and I'm at an airshow, I use a ND or CPL Filter. F/11 and higher will introduce defraction on crop body cameras. That's where light to deflect off of the aperture blades making scattered light hit the sensor. . Does your camera have a cleaning system? If so, leave it on. All my cams have them and they clean whenever I turn them on and then off. Keep the camera level when doing it. Here's how Canon's works. Google yours. I forget the model you have. http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/education/technical/eos_integrated_cleaning_system.do Regardless, you will likely have to wet-clean the sensor at some point. Although mine has been very good and clean for a few years now. I won't mess with either unless I see spots on my images.
  3. Google Copper Hill Method. Before you do anything, verify which cleaning kit solution should be used with your sensor. Do this through the trusted folks at either Adorama or B&H, both in NY. Web searches will help too. The solution is different for various sensors.
  4. Circled them in red here. I kept them light so it wouldn't detract from the dust. Check the exif on your shot. If it's below f/11 clean it. If it's stopped down f/11-f22 or higher, I wouldn't worry about it yet. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/140847216/original I figured. The anal retentive in me is coming out. Damn! She was alone and you didn't inform CR? You disappoint.

  6. Ron Paul but I still think America as a whole is too dumb to realize it. The fact that Obama even made it there is proof to that.
  7. They need to tag team with 2 girls; 1 cup and make a music vid :gabe:

    Sad day for BBQ

    I'm with you. Perhaps the one that was at Sawmill and Hard located on that shitty unseen corner of the shopping center across from Lifetime? Dublin IMO but who knows, maybe that's the one they are calling Powell. IMO they were stupid for even putting it there as the viability was shit. May very well have been a nice place inside and a good location overall but not when no one can see your sign or know you're there. I only went that way when exiting the shopping center to head out towards 33. The problem in today's market that wasn't there even a few years ago is the economy is shit and people are spending less....aka fast casual joints or fast food, and people don't have the time to spend sitting down and having a longer lunch. I know my behaviors have changed as I'm far less likely to hit a true sit-down joint for lunch vs an in and out quickly Pei Wei or something. I also don't want to spend $50-60 on dinner for two as often. Again, would much rather hit a fast casual place and either eat there or take it home and only spend $25-$30. The market is proving that as fast casual and fast food places are overall doing very well so long as the brand is good. The fact that they are closing really tells me that Hoggy's was unable to adapt their operations and locations to the economy. Way too many square feet and likely worse than average food and paper costs. I can't comment on their labor costs wouldn't doubt it if it was proportionally high.
  9. Another shiny example of why the death penalty should be mandatory on murders. Kill them swiftly and move on.
  10. +rep for a decent intro. I'm sure you'll see several of us around Dublin.
  11. I suddenly have a craving for Dairy Queen.
  12. You have Email and PM with Login and Password to a gallery.
  13. They likely use the stock Fuji Frontier profile which will account for sharpening but normally they are on the soft to very soft side. My guess is that it's something to do with the editing process. Here's another example of basic clean up. I say basic as I have it built into an action for photoshop that from start to finish is about 30 seconds. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/140829106/original.jpg
  14. It will work fine. When you get it, just download the Allshare software from Samsung's site. Pretty self explanatory in setting it up. PM me if you have any questions.
  15. Looking for Audials 9 :ninja: PM me you have a string of numbers and letters with some dashes that will activate it.
  16. I'm already planning on replacing my current company car (Fusion Sport) with one of these. Do want.
  17. Thanks. Ironically enough, I do host seminars. Come join me for some tea and crumpets at the local senior centers where I work quite a bit One of my little niches that drives a lot of my editing business.

  19. I'm not sure what you mean by " it looked like I used a microscope " ? In terms of editing and fixing skin tones, I can do it in a snap for you. No need to post the files publicly. I don't post or use much if any of my client work online without a release either. You can email the RAW files to me at lightspeedphotography@yahoo.com What I return to you will be good to print. Here are a couple edits (perhaps more extreme and some are glam-shots) than what your image will need, but examples nonetheless. The impact/effect of the skin adjustments is always applied to meet what the client is looking to have done. Yours sounds like basic stuff/no glam. These are from client supplied images: (before and after gifs) http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/139920706/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/139244229/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/137647521/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/137746154/original.jpg Other portraits I've done (static images) http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/130617871/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/130320812/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/130320793/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/128685207/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/137578441/original.jpg Happy to help.
  20. Like one of my kids remote control cars gone real-world. Love that fucking sound. Mean as hell as if it's either at idle or full on tear up the world mode. LOL at still going with only three wheels.
  21. Nice, but let's see what the price is before we put value on it. IMO a 4cyl pulling that car will be adequate but not likely as fun day to day as a 6. Too bad the 3.6l doesn't have the reliability of the older 3800 series.
  22. Good luck man. I wish I could commit to such a program.
