To add to the discussion or create a new one, here is an image and two pp versions of same. What do you think; does PP aid to the beauty of the image? Posting three images. Please try the downloads.


I like your original by far the best. #2 is too dark and #3 does nothing for me. Good capture.

It has proven to be an unmitigated disaster since I did so two weeks ago. Power Point has stopped working properly in the midst of lecture prep. This after two weeks of working though not quite as fast.

Yosemite = You're dead meat.


Not sure what happened with yours but I run Yosemite 10.10.2 with absolutely no problems. Since I purchased my Mac Book Pro to replace a Windows 8 laptop, I've not had 1 minutes worth a problems. MAC Book Pro considerable more pricey over the Win 8 computer yes but absolutely no aggravation since I made the switch. Not sure the age of your computer, processor, ram, etc. But I don't think it is the OS. Sorry that you upset with it.

Hi Fellow 'Hoggers..This is probably going to be another "Ford vs. Chevy" or "Nikon vs. Canon" type of argument, but I'm looking for a photographers opinion. ...
I'm thinking about getting a new laptop that I can take with on vacations,etc. so I can work with my photos. I've been looking around a bit and I have to say I was VERY impressed with the Apple macbook pro,even though it was only 13 inches. The retina display is really incedible, but like all things made by Apple it comes at a price. It's at the very least, twice the price of an HP or something else comparable. For me to get that laptop, with the larger flash drive, the larger ram,and some software for photos and whatever, it's pushing the $2,000.00 window. I've never owned an Apple product and have looked at them before,but again,I got my HP desktop for less than half the cost of the Apple and I still wonder if I should have just gotten the Apple anyway.
Hi Fellow 'Hoggers..This is probably going to be a... (show quote)


A year ago I had purchased my 1st Apple product in the form of a Macbook Pro. Have not had 1 minutes worth a problem since I got it. Cost more money yes, but the issues I've had with window machines more than makes up for it. By far longer battery life, than any of my previous laptops. Contrary to one who wrote they run hotter but I don't find that true with mine but that could be because I have solid state drive. I am the happiest I've ever been with this laptop. I should say I also have a windows 7 desktop and I use it only for my CAD software and as soon as I learn the new CAD program on my Mac, it will go by the wayside.

If one lives in my part of Indiana, it's not easy to find a machine that isn't painted green--green has a corner on the market here. When I farmed myself, I used Allis-Chalmers tractors (still have a D-17) and a Massy combine.


It is the same here. Green dominates here to and almost everywhere. I have a friend that works as a mechanic and has told me in the last several years that the quality from the mechanical aspect has dropped of on the green. I had an Allis Chalmers WD45 used for small task. Rented 7060one time when I ripped the rear end out of the 5020 Deere. my favorite was a Massey Ferguson 1150 what a horse!!

"Old Red Barn" was taken last week with an old GE X5 that my wife found in a drawer, corroded and forgotten. With a little cleanup--it works.

"End of Harvest" was shot in December with my Canon SL1--the last of my corn crop being shelled.


Very nice shots. Since I'm an old farm boy (retired), They are always of interest to me. No offense though not been a fan of John Deere for a long time. When I retired I was very happy with my switch to Massey Ferguson and now only have a sub-compact tractor, a Massey GC2600.

Hi all.

I have been judiciously adding Sony shooters to my buddy list wherever I see them. I now have 82 in my list. We are growing. :thumbup:


Well if I am not I'm on your list, but you can add me. My main camera was a Canon 7D and was a great camera, but I wanted to move to full frame and after much research I purchased a Sony a7R and have no complaints other than battery life, which I just make sure I take a spare with me. Great IQ! Fits my current needs perfectly. Actually looking to adding more equipment from Sony.

Anyone been using the Sony A7 over the last few months, if so please give me your considered opinion as I'm thinking of buying. Currently using Nikon D700 with 24-70 2.8, but it is heavy.


I purchased a Sony a7R back in May of this year. I could not be happier. Pictures are as good IF not better than the Canon 7D I just recently sold which in itself was not slouch for a camera. DO I see some down sides to my a7R? yes, but things I can live with. Short battery life is one, so I just carry extra batteries. I currently use only the FE 55mm F1.8 lens and plan on purchasing the 200mm F4 lens to go with it. Sony is working on more lens for the a7 series but I think with the 55 and 200 is all I need for what I shoot. The a7R is not a good action/ sports camera but my understanding the a7 is somewhat better. The a6000 is even better yet for action/sports, BUT it is a crop sensor camera which there is nothing wrong with that. I have toyed with buying one of those as well. I saw the other day that Sony is coming out with the a7II so if you are interested you might want to see what kind of updates will be on the new updated model, I don't think you can go wrong with buying a Sony, but make sure you buy that will cover your needs.

They have a store close to my house. I've purchased cameras and equipment from them. smooth transactions. I find the customer service better at B&H. B&H is my go to store for camera equipment.


Thank you all for your input. I have used B & H in the past but the last time I had used Beach Camera and I did not have any issues with what I had purchased which it was a bundle and some of it I would classify as junk, but the camera is excellent, of which was a Sony a7R and an FE 55 f1.8 prime lens... I will probably next time go back strictly to B & H. Again thank you all for your input.

I've seen many post about others like B & H but i have never seen anything about Beach Camera. Has anyone at UHH dealt with them and what was the outcome.

Now that's perfect!


Background beyond the rear of the car is still a little blurry when you zoom in but the car is the focus point. I am still new at this and the even newer to the Sony a7R. Practice, practice,practice!!! :)
