I took a bunch of manual lenses for a walk at the Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. In time, I may try to be more purposeful with my photos but for now I'm still working on improving my skills. Summer mellow (Rokkor 50mm macro) Flower pillows (Rokkor 50mm macro) Ravages of Rust (Contax...

Whilst (I've always wanted to use that word) strolling in Vancouver's Yaletown area, I took this photo of the shadows on the wall. It wasn't until I was processing the photo that I noticed the unintended optical illusion.

Out of curiousity, I reviewed my LR metadata to see how many digital cameras (not including cameraphones or videocameras) I've owned since I started this "hobby". Holy cow ... 30!!! To soften the blow of the raw number, let's wax nostalgic with details and context. First digital camera: HP...

Samsung Galaxy Camera Hands-On: Oh Please, Please Bring This Bizarre Android Camera to America I recently switched from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3. I had serious doubts about an Android phone but the tradeoffs in Apple user interface synergy were well covered by the screen size and...

Hi again, Thanks for the nice comments on my previous Honolulu panorama post. I hope you don't mind, I'm posting some more vacation pics. I will definitely be going back to Honolulu. Paradise Found Waikiki beach walk Surfing silhouette Waikiki sunset Waikiki...

Just back from a fantastic Honolulu vacation. I brought my A55 and NEX-5N and used them liberally. Here are some of the panoramas I took. Hope you enjoy them :) Hanauma Bay and Waikiki as seen from Koko Head Crater by summerkl, on Flickr Waikiki as seen from Diamond Head by...

Finally some sunny weather in Vancouver ... brought out the Tamron 70-200 with my A55. Great photo fun and as a bonus we came out ahead on our betting [LOL] And they're off!! Whipping into the stretch Floating to Victory Some fun shots Want a burger to go with that shake :)...

Famous Black and White Photos with Color Breathed Into Them Simply amazing. I am in awe of individuals who are so talented.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen .. lend me your ears - forgive me I was flashing back to grade 6 when I made that speech in the school play. I am very fond of the SC forum and having read through retow's thread would like to suggest adding more structure to the photo side of this forum. This is...

I have come upon a minor revelation that serious camera love is akin to spousal love. There is the dating scene, the early exploration (or what other euphemism you prefer), the committed relationship, the breakup, the multiple partners, etc. Thankfully, cameras don't get viruses like...

Thumbtiles by Steven Johnson — Kickstarter I have been looking for a way to conveniently display some of my favorite photos. The inconvenience of buying a frame and then hanging it and probably never changing it is not very appealing. So when I saw this product, it seemed to solve...

Before it gets too cold and barren, I went oot and aboot with my trusty A55. "Fall Jog" - almost makes me want to take up running again :) [/url]</td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From LR 500</td></tr></table>[/IMG] "Another Lonely Bench"...

First time to New Brighton Park located on the Burrard Inlet by the Second Narrows Bridge in Vancouver. It's right by some train tracks so it's not that accessible. In fact, you go through a "Happy Graffiti" tunnel It's a dog friendly park (I posted this in the animal thread but the...

A very good idea, coffee on the beach :smile: Some old statues and new statues This picture looks serene but it was like walking through a minefield trying to avoid their droppings :eek: The park juts out into the Burrad Inlet. First image is the east seawall and the next...

Photoshop “unblur” leaves MAX audience gasping for air | 9to5Mac | Apple Intelligence Hearing the audience gasp at 1:18 is pretty funny. There's hope yet for my inebriated blurry shots!

Because we are always wanting the next best thing, I was wondering when the next upgrade to Lightroom would be. Using prior release dates, this site thinks Spring 2012 is a fair estimate. When is Adobe Lightroom 4 Coming Out? | ProDesignTools This other site discusses the LR4 Beta and...

Selling a Sony 16mm Nex kit lens that I barely used. Comes with original front and rear caps. There is no separate box as it came with a two lens Nex package. I am asking $180 shipping and paypal included. Continental US and Canada. I will ship elsewhere but buyer must pay the actual...

The long-track speed skating oval was converted to a sports complex. The architectural design is still quite impressive. All shots taken on my NEX-3 with kit lens and pp in LR3.

I've taken quite a liking to my A33 and Minolta 50mm macro. Here are some of the shots that I like the most. I've post-processed them in LR3. Here are some close-in shots Now some shots getting the whole flower And finally the ubiquitous dandelion shot

Back in April, I trekked in the forest at the base of the Stawamus Chief in Squamish, BC. I promised to hike it and post some photos ... The hike is up the back side and takes a couple of hours - very scenic and invigorating! Here's the Chief from a distance The easy part of the hike -...

I saw this and thought it would be fun. What's one more 50mm for the collection :) Plushtograpy – Blast

And for your next round of GAS Turn your iPhone into a Leica i9 - Gadgets

For this week's challenge of "Looking Up", I drove an hour away to a climbing site for locals called the Stawamus Chief, a 700 meter granite cliff. I was unable to get to the base for a shot because there was some fairly steep climbing that I was unprepared for. Here are some shots from the...

Here's the link Nikon Rumored to Announce Mirrorless Pro Camera in April 2011 There's a related story about the camera needing an internal fan Nikon May Use Fan to Cool Down Its Mirrorless Cameras Thankfully I don't feel the a flare up in my GAS reading about this camera :)

A couple related questions: Are you paranoid of damaging it? Do you think it was worth the significant premium?

Flickr accidentally nukes user's 4,000 photos - Feb. 2, 2011 Admittedly a rare occurrence but just in case in any SC member relies solely on Flickr ... time to backup the old school way on a portable hard drive. Also interesting to see the comment about lagging development on Flickr due to...

Found this site that sells quirky, fun photo accessories. The Photojojo Store! - the Most Awesome Photo Gifts and Gear for Photographers I thought it might appeal to some of the SC members. This could be dangerous for the impulsive buyers amongst us (are you reading this Ghosthunter...

The SMILE shutter is a feature I wrote off as fluff. But at recent family gatherings, it turned out to be a hilarious/fun feature. Once you explain the feature to the photo subject, they literally go nuts and make the funniest expressions to try and make the shutter go off - priceless...

For the Apple users, here's the confirmed date for the Mac App Store. In particular, I recall that the latest version of iPhoto will be purchaseable separately at $19.99 rather than as part of the larger iLife bundle. My Apple resistance is crumbling, I have an iPhone (love it), just got the...

Here is my Nikon Micro 60mm f2.8 at play again. Interesting exercise in changing apertures and focus points. I couldn't decide which of the various views to post so I came up with this LR3 template.

I saw this post on another forum and chuckled pretty hard. "Next purchase: probably a Summilux ASPH 1.4 (haven't chosen a focal length yet). This may lead to a divorce. But, I'm hoping she really-really-really loves me." For me, I'd stay with Love - my wife would just take the Leica in the...

It's getting cold out there - only serious photographers will brave the temperatures:biggrin: I'll start with a scene of an early Vancouver scene. Shot with Sony Nex-3 and Helios 44m

My father-in-law has asked for my help in selling his Rolleiflex that he purchased new back in the 50's. The lens is a Zeiss-Opton Tessar f2.8 80mm. The body and case show clear signs of wear but he had it serviced about 5 years ago but didn't take any photos with it. I tried to look on...

I recently made an offhand comment that with so many digital photos being taken, the saying of “a photo is worth a thousand words” should be changed to “a photo needs a hundred words”. It seemed to me that with so many amazing digital photos being created, it was easy to forget what made last...

Show your fun shots that make you :biggrin: Most people try to save the Tower, my son is destroying it :dash2: My wife finally getting me to pose while other people watch :blush:

For those interested, Sony just released firmware that significantly improved the control flexibility of the camera. So much so that dpreview has upgraded their review of the camera. Basically, it allows for programmability of a few of the buttons. The customizability of the button with the...

Here's a few of my favorites - all taken with the kit lens and pped with LR3. Hope you enjoy them. As I continue to learn how to catch light, I am open to comments & critiques (be gentle please :dance3:) Boston Public Library If anyone can advise on how to get rid of the CA...

One of the reasons I switched to the NEX was the tiltable LCD - it allows for some very creative angles. The other reason was the panorama function. Here are some of my shots from my recent vacation. I've resized and adjusted for levels quickly. 1 - shooting from the open window in the back...

The e-pl1 re-kindled my interest in photography and I converted from the DSLR world. Like many, I was amazed by the quality of the jpegs, the versatility of interchangeable lenses in a compact, and the joy of manual lenses. But while surfing this site I read about the Sony NEX line and I...
