Fish photography

This is the first & last picture I took of a fish.
I don't think the fish was happy with my intrusion.

I think this is a very sensitive fish. Perhaps he has all sorts of social problems, and maybe toothache. We need to think about the inner fish.

Interval Timer

Jerry, can you tell from the manual whether it will work with a Nikon D70? It is not on the list in the Amazon description. Presumably it connects through the little funny standard rectangular camera connector, I can't see another one on the camera.

Yes OK Goofie, I got all the stuff about what it means. But you said that you hate the word - so what are you suggesting in its place?

I would suggest boke-aji (ボケ味), the "blur quality".
EDIT: LOL Looks like this editor doesn't like Japanese. I can't get rid of that smiley that's not supposed to be there.

In the famous words of the tennis player "you cannot be serious, man"! That thing is even worse than bokeh!

Capture just sounds pretentious to me and bokeh is seldom used correctly here.

My training is in photojournalism, not fine art, so that's probably why I think that way.

I think bokeh is generally understood and used correctly on UHH, but what would you suggest in its place?

Did they do this stuff in the days of black and white silent movies? It would have been very effective.

I use a Vello Shutter Boss intervalometer for Canon, it's $52.50.
Here's the list from B&H, you would have to go through and pick out the proper one for your Nikon.

I and many others use Quick Time Pro to process the images you take using the Vello into the final TL video.

Thank you, and Jerry and others.

As has been said already, I am not launched on another distraction from what I should be doing...........

Hi Lorenww
Not fully understanding he difference, is this an example "selective colouring" rather than "spot colouring"?
Brushing through a coloured version onto a B&W background?

This one (church window) looks creepy to me, rather like an extract from some sort of horror movie.

Incidentally, no one has yet made a comparison between this spot/selective colour on photos and in films. I thought it was really effective in Schindler's Lists, the red coated girl lost in all the black and white people and background. Brilliant.

I can put up with "capture" it is to the point and clear. Bokeh - I don't particularly like the word, but what is there another one with the same meaning? What do you suggest?

Sometimes I just like to play.

Time Lapse

Good question, I was going to raise it myself. Can I get time lapse out of my D70? Do I need to buy an intervalometer, and if so, which? And do I connect it all together afterwards in software and if so, please recommend. (I am not meaning to hijack the thread, but I hope my question complements it).

Hmmm I am pretty sure that I would be angry that someone was taking a photo of my deceased loved one, an exhausted fire fighter that is a different issue to me I think that would be okay. Just my take on your question.

I am about at this point too.

Putting name on photos

Good question that, and a whole set of useful answers, thank you.

Smaller Sensors

I have seen it somewhere that DX format will not go away and one of the reasons is it cost less to manufacture the DX sensor than the FX sensor. Still it does not matter the size of the sensor in the right circumstance FX is better for high ISO and DX is better for full frame lens (crop factor uses the central portion of the lens). My two and a half cents.

Yes, I am sure you are right at present, that is why I have both at present. But I cannot help thinking in the long run, that the DX sensors are going to keep getting better ahead of the game and leave the FX standing.
