Don't know anything about psp, but I'd be surprised if it competes with LR with its cloud based synching with phones and tablets plus all the cataloging and editing available on those mobile devices.
Seamless integration with PS-all for $10 a month...

Hi All
My mother asked if I would ask you guys how to take Action shots (rodeo and aerial motor bikes) at night in variable lighting conditions. She tried sports mode which took the ISO up to 6400 and everything is so grainy she has had to ditch the lot. (Canon70D)
Would very much appreciate your help as technical stuff is not my strong point. Oh also, she's a lurker :) :) and really enjoys UHH. Have suggested she joins in her own right, but she's a bit shy.

Such severe noise sounds strange. I get very good results at 6400 w a bit of added luminance in Lightroom. Granted one might not want to print 11x14. Something else must be going on to make the prints unusable. The only thing I can think of is that she may be under exposing and the pushing the exposure in Lightroom.

Would appreciate advise on purchasing a flash unit for my SX 50 camera. I have viewed the 270ex 2 but I am not sure that this is the way to go. Thanks for your thoughts.
They are a good match.

This is a good book - "Switching to the Mac," by David Pogue.

Absolutely second this suggestion. I bought the Kindle version so I'd have it on my phone. Great book.

I was reading a photography blog of professional photographer ( and one of my favorites) Tom Till. In it he said in spite of what people think, that both Canon and Nikon have less noise at ISO 200 than at 100. I believe the term he used was this was their native ISO. Does anyone out there know about this?
In the 70's I shot for my college daily newspaper. Unless it was a very special situation I always went armed with Tri X at ASA 400. Some of my favorite shots were pushed way beyond that. I sure wish I had access to the negs today. We called it grain in those days and we often used it for effect. A noisy/grainy shot in photojournalism and family photography (my bent now) is certainly a whole lot better than a missed one.
Today, our equipment is so high quality we peep into minute deltas between ISO 100 and 200! Let's face it; most indoor snapshots will be 400 plus, especially with our non-pro bodies, slower lenses and need for a little depth of field.
I find that each of my cameras has its own "personality" that results in plusses and minuses that vary by situation and my skill level, as I'm still learning digital.
Sooooo, I wouldn't fret about small deltas in noise, especially if we don't plan on printing posters. My biggest challenges are focus, camera movement and stop-action, all helped by higher ISO.

I think the most important advantage of the hotshoe is bounce flash.

[quote=lorvey]I am curious about how others use the Custom Shooting Mode on your Cameras. I am talking about the C mode, or C1 and C2 modes on the dial on most DSLRs. It can be set up as a shortcut to specific camera settings for special situations.
I use one for indoors and one for outdoors.
