Laptop Computer Windows or Mac
Hello Fellow Hogs. Getting ready to purchase a new Laptop but unsure of which (Windows or Mac) platform will work best. Could use any help you might have. Will be running Lightroom and would like to know what Ram, Hard drive size and any other accessories. Try to keep the budget under $2500.00. Thanks in advance for any replys.

Rockaway Beach.
For a moment I was bewildered. Here in New York we have a Rockaway Beach but it looks nothing like this! Thank you for the lovely shots.

Custom White Balance or Kelvin
twowindsbear, thank you for insight but it seems there a so "many" variables involved I will try several and get back to everyone with some examples. there is no degree of WB accuracy except me and the kids playing. Hope they enjoy the shots.

Given the variables in light bulbs, age of the bulbs, when 1 may have been replaced compared to another, dirt on the bulb, type of reflector, voltage variations, etc., etc., etc., I'd say using the WHITE side of the grey card would probably give you a slightly more accurate WB. For better accuracy, I'll suggest an Expo-disc (or similar device). And for best accuracy, a calibrated color temperature meter.

What degree of WB accuracy does your job require?

Custom White Balance or Kelvin
Captain C, you have introduced a new element into the quest for proper white balance thanks for the info.

Well, the accuracy is up to you. If using K, then how so you know what is "accurate?" You can go to live view and keep moving the dial until you like it. That may or may not be accurate. In fact, "accurate" is a moving target. More important is what you like. Personally, I tend to like a slightly warmer color temp than the accurate color.

Shooting a gray card or using something like an Expo Disk can do a good job of setting an "accurate" WB, but I have done that often and then changed it because I did not like the accurate color.

Custom White Balance or Kelvin
Erik H seems like I will be doing a few test shots using live view, custom white balance and which I feel is the best for me.

I'd say that a custom WB would be more accurate because you only have a limited number of kelvin settings to chose from whereas using a custom WB will get you in those "between" ranges.

Custom White Balance or Kelvin
Using the kelvin from the camera instruction manuel(Tungsten light) 3200 and work from there and taking a custom white balance using a grey card.

Well, just exactly how are you going to measure the color temp in degrees Kelvin? And, how exactly are you going to set the custom WB?

Custom White Balance or Kelvin
Hello Fellow Hoggs,
I am trying to find out which is more accurate custom white balance or Kelvin. Will they or should they give the same results or as close to the same. Any answers will be helpful. Also let me include the fact that this is regarding shooting in a high school dimly lite gym. So the iso will be high (1250-1600) with the f stop (f2.8, f2.0) and shutter speed at least 1/500 or higher.

Greentoe
I asked this same question back in August. I must say I have been very pleased with the Canon items I purchased. The price was right and it came with a warranty. I guess I am saying "go for it." :-D

Canon 7D Mark II - Better than the average review
I just purchased a 7D Mark II and this video was fantastic. Thank you very much. I still have "a lot" to learn about photography and this camera.

Any members heard of Greeentoe
I recently received an e-mail from "Greentoe" regarding photography equipment (camera and lenses) for sale. It says you name the price and we will find the seller. The equipment is supposed to be new anyone ever heard of this place.

Looking for "STURDY" monopod
Calling for help!!!!! Can anyone tell me which monopod is strong and sturdy enough to hold a 400mm f/2.8 lens. I tried the one I already own and it was a failure to say the least. I ended up attempting to Hand Hold this monster and it beat me down quickly. So, what I am say is I need a recommendation for a monopod and a head.
