Not many RX100 owners huh? In late December I was thinking seriously of getting an RX-100 as a "when travelling by air" and an "always with me" camera. For those purposes, I liked almost everything about it until I went into the store and actually handled the camera. I have rela...

Tom, nice to have you back with us :D and a pleasant surprise to know you acquired the NEX-6. Thanks, Doc. Between the influenza and a couple of other forms of virus, plus a major reaction to an anti-inflammatory medication that I was given for pinched nerves in my neck, I have been having a lot of...

Just wondering if anyone has tried this lens on the 6 ?, I am after a faster lens to use inside (at present I use a Minolta 28mm f/2.8 on the adapter) The SEL35 f/1.8 version here in NZ is double the price and has I already have the LA-EA2 is it worth going for it. Thanks I have both that lens and ...

For me the second one is the one. The thoughtful pose with the gaze directed away from the viewer and the beautiful light work together to make this a fine photograph. In my opinion the monochrome treatment works better too. My thoughts exactly. All of the images are very nice. The second one is ex...

You have given me some good pointers to pay attention to when composing the image. I had to contend with a reluctant "model" who is annoyed that her dad has interrupted her watching her favorite TV show. :lol: This is a standard challenge with your children after a certain point in life -...

A sunny start to the day in Istanbul.... Yildiz Yildiz, I always enjoy your photos of Istanbul, but for me the lighting of this picture makes it an exceptional image of the subject. (Actually, I enjoy all of your photos, regardless of the subject, but it's not entirely fair to compare the lighting ...

BTW, for anyone who is interested in history, ' Gettysburg " is a great film, IMO. I find it ironic that the scenes that will probably seem the most like typical Hollywood exaggeration - such as Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine at Little Round Top - are actually very true to history. Yes,...

Thanks, yes, I saw that list yesterday. I was mostly wondering if you have noticed any performance improvements. I have not downloaded LR 4.2RC yet, so I cannot offer any first-hand comments. However, a couple of people on the net have done some testing on large files to check the speed of specific...

At Yorktown they fired one of the cannons after first explaining the whole procedure. They told us to cover our ears with our hands, but if I did that I couldn't take a photo. A young woman standing next to me with a Canon 550D and I talked it over a bit and decided we would sacrifice our ears in o...

Wonderful photos! The Grand Tetons are so beautiful and the old, abandoned houses and barns make great foregrounds. I recall that years ago on my first trip there I read somewhere that the name Grand Tetons came from French-Canadians and the name means Big Tits . :lol: Yup. Not politically correct,...

Yesterday I took out the 8gb that I put in 6 weeks ago and put the old 4gb back in. Problem solved, no more blue screens. Of course, I had a sneaking suspicion that it was a memory problem, but usually if there is a problem with new memory it shows up soon, I think. In my case the new memory was fi...

As you can see in my original post, the problems I am having go way beyond autofocus issues. The bottom line is, I cannot take a single photo with this lens under ANY settings. At this point, I am tempted to sell it on eBay, but can't in good conscience yet as I don't know for sure whther the lens ...

I've seen one person (American tourist) with an SLT, I've seen more people with the older Sony A200's/350's and more A700's around. I don't think the strategy is working . . . My personal experience has been very different from the above. For example, at the beginning of the month I spent time shoo...

The following photo is at the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park. For those who don't know American history this small country community was where the Civil War (aka the War Between the States) ended in 1865. Union General Ulysses S. Grant accepted the surrender of Confederate General ...
