Windows 10

crbuckjr, it's like this.
- Since the release, Yes there have been lots of fixes and updates.
- Drivers are now starting to be available for windows 10 rather then pointing to windows 8.
- The windows 10 upgrade has impressed me how well is done. I've been a user of Windows since 3.11 and in my opinion MS has finally done something completely right this time.
- The upgrade still offer a FULL RESTORE to your previous system if you're not satisfied.
- I've done many upgrades lately and I really cant say I've had problems.

MY ONLY biff with MSW10, is that they dropped the support for Cisco VPN which in my work that is a little important. So if you are not using such thing, then go for it :)

Dont be scared of all the haters and the trolls keep trash talking windows 10. I still stand by my usual acronym : PEBCAK = "Problem Exist Between Chair And Keyboard"

I totally agree and crbuckjr please keep in mind when you see the negative comments on the web. 1, Most of the time when it comes to a product comment people who are happy with the product have better things to do than gripe on the web. A large percent of the dissatisfied will want to vent while a very small percent of the happy users will offer their opinion about the product.
2, The last figure I heard was over 200,000,000 users have upgraded and there has not been a ground swell of discontent reported anywhere.

Ansel Adams "photoshopped" his work but had to use the darkroom, various papers, filters, dodging, burning and retouching.


When Mr. Adams developed his skills he came to a method of pre-visualizing a scene, then exposed and developed to get as close to that mental image as he could. He was proud of the darkroom manipulation that got him to the final results or he would not have discussed them in his books. I will guarantee that if Photoshop was available to him he would have wholeheartedly embraced it.
When reading his books I felt that getting to his pre-visualized image was the primary goal and if reality had to suffer, so be it.

Infinity Focus

measuring the distance is still a different task to finding focus and do you want the hyperfocal distance or somewhere near to it. It wouldn't be that hard to include highlighted marks for hyperfocal distance on a lens which would be a low tech solution. actually a sticker on the lens would be just as good for most people who want it.


Yes, finding the right lens extension would be something that would have to be 'engineered' but that is not insurmountable.
I feel that this is something that I would find very useful as my 76 year old eyes leave something to be desired. It is also something that only a small segment of the market would find useful/helpful, ergo the lack of will by the manufacturers.

Director's viewfinder for 35MM

I wanted to know if anyone has an experiences with using one of these, specifically for 35MM photography, to pre-visualize in the field?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director%27s_viewfinder


Years ago I knew a photographer who used something similar but he was the only one. Most of the people I knew ( and myself) just used our hands to frame the shot if we wanted to try to pre-vizualize the composition

Which hyperfocal distance? The one at f4 , f8 .... Which camera body?
Which lens?


You are kidding right?
Today's cameras know what lens and aperture you're using. I maintain that the technology is there but not the will.

Um.. I know this isn't a direct response to the question but,in real Estate as elsewhere, the photo is a sales tool. As such the client should be able to have it post processed to their liking as long as it doesn't border on dishonesty in the presentation of the product. Removing objects doesn't change the character of the main subject. Is pre processing a product, as in putting oil on hamburgers to make them look juicy, as wrong as post processing? And just for the record, before there was Photoshop there were airbrushes.

Because although cameras can come into sharp focus when pointing to an image, they don't go a such a good job at focusing at a distance (i.e. focus in on 15 ft cuz that's the hyperfocal distance). the distance indicator on lenses (and assuming the equivalent was on the focus motor accuator) is not accurate


Sorry but, I believe the technology is there. What's lacking is a reason for manufacturers to go the extra expense. Over the years I have done a lot of hyper-focal work and in my experience there is more latitude for finding the hyper-focal sweet spot than for focusing on a single point.

For beginners - Just how difficult is it to learn photography
While learning how to correctly take a picture may not be hard, learning how to become a photographer is a life time effort.

Nikon D750 Under Exposing
Gobuster wrote:
I think you just made the case why camera manufacturers have a fine tune option! Matrix metering is not infallible and will vary with conditions. For example, when shooting products on a white background I often have to dial in +2 to 2.33 EV to get proper exposures.


And metering cannot read our minds. What looks great to me might look overexposed (or underexposed) to you.
Yes, supposedly there are absolutes that determine proper exposure but they don't take into consideration personal preference.

The LUMIX GH4 can create segments of 4GB in size until storage is full.

I have not seen the nitty gritty specs of the D5 and D500. They were announced only yesterday.


OK. I'll re-phrase, are DSLRs in general able to record to a computer hard drive while tethered?

As an adjunct to this conversation, "Hey all you camera manufacturers", why not include a auto hyper-focal feature on your cameras? Push a button and depending on the settings/lens the camera will auto focus at the hyper-focal point. I know you can do it!!
