This is a memorial to the local area (Maryhill, WA) servicemen who were lost is WW I. The day we stopped by was very warm and the light was harsh - not the best for photographing this site. I like your early morning pictures with the softer light and I bet you didn't have any tourists wandering in front of you at that time of day.[/quote]

I usually have it to myself that time of day. It is hard to find the "photo" there is so much stuff in the way of any clear shot.

I was at Stonehenge on the Columbia Gorge over the weekend. Sunrise, no one else around. It is a tough place to shoot, so many things in the way. Do leave a comment or post yours if you have been there.

The Canon extender will fit any 'L' lens.
It works well on the 100-400 EF IS L lens.


Had a Canon 1.4 extender on 100-400 and found the results not to be acceptable. Finally sold it. I understand the 1.4 does work on some of the other Canon lens under certain conditions with marginal success depending on what your standards are.


I live on the beach and wanted to shoot sea birds. needed to get closer but found out I couldn't walk on water. bought the 1.4 extender BECAUSE the salesman SAID I wouldn't loose AF, RIGHT! Didn't work out. I simply changed what I wanted to shoot using lenses I wanted to pay for. Sure would like that 1200mm Canon though...

What lens do you have? Tamron has a 1.4X that works well on all the Canon lenses I have tried it on.

The 1200mm? The lens cover is $599.00. I couldn't find a price on the lens but would guess I would need a second mortgage.

Jim,

I have 70-200 and the 100-400, Canon. The 1200mm lens is a pipe dream. B&H had a used one a few months ago for 99K.

I use a 530 on my G12 with Canon's wireless remote. For sure the flash is bigger than the camera. gets the job done and it fits my other camera's as well.

Re inability to save TIFF as jPeg. Be sure you change to 8 bit. Jpeg only saves 8 bit files.


I did flatten and change to 8 bit before I tried to save, didn't work. I had this issue once before and can not remember the fix. I do remember it was something simple.

As for Nix software not working I removed LR and NIX. Then re-installed LR and Nix, still didn't work. Decided to give up so installed LR update 4.1....

Now Nix works, go figurer that one.

After working the file in lightroom are you opening NIK through the "Photo" dropdown or the "File" dropdown. Also, how are you making the save for the NIK Tiff edit file in the menue box that comes up?


In LR3 I am using the photo/edit in/silver efex pro2 then making my changes and saving which opens LR3 back, at that point I would export thru LR3. No problem here EXCEPT I can NOT do this with LR4 even thought I did the fix as listed above.

The second issue is I exported from LR, to a USB drive, a tiff file which I opened in my other computer using PS3, made the edits and wanted to save it as a jpg, PS3 only would let me save as a tiff, not sure why.

Will photoshop open your tiff file? If it does, have you tried to copy and paste as a new image and then try to save as jpg.


PS will open the tiff files. haven't tried copy and paste.

this might be the situation with LR4

Anyone here doing long exposure using black glass? This evening I went down to the sea using a .9 and a 1.8 ND filters (first try). This reduced my light about 9 stops but I never could get my exposure over 4 seconds. Wasn't all that bright. I am reading on the internet about 10 minute exposures using a 3.0 filter (10 stops) mid day, how is this possible? My ND value I wasn't that far off, or so I thought. What am I missing? Hoya makes a 2.7 (9 stops) filter which I thought I'd buy if I can't make this combination work.

I set the camera manually using the light meter in camera, centered not under exposed or over exposed. My photos turned out under exposed. I'd guess the white surf might have had something to do with this although it was really grey and not white like snow. I might have to add some shutter time to fix that, not sure about how much? I wasn't happy with what I shot. Does anyone have some insight? If you have some examples please post them.

camera is a 5D with 27-70 f2.8 lens. these RAW photos were taken at ISO 100, F16, 3.2 seconds at 24mm, .9 and 1.8 ND filter on together, 9 stops, manual exposure, cable release. I'd like a longer exposure creating softer water.

Just curious, are these 2 different shots, or is the first one cropped?

you can get LR as a demo, mine is not. purchased. NIX does not stand alone, it is a plug in.
