Re: Phunny times at Photoclubalpha

Not sure if this is relevant but it seems there are two places for a setting: Category and Forum. See these posts, particularly the first two entries.

A lot of people had trouble from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6.

Re: Phunny times at Photoclubalpha

Thanks Harvey. It turns out that only two forums had this set (not that I ever set it!) - I have now enabled it for all forums, so Active Topics should return. I think... David Not fixed yet. What version change was made to phpBB? I can do some web searches to see if I can come up with other sugges...

Re: Study of the Effectiveness of Shake Reduction

By the way, any chance View active topics is going to start working again? It stopped working a week or two ago. It is so much trouble to see the latest posts I have pretty much stopped checking this forum anymore. :( I have the same problem. Ever since I registered with the forum I have used a boo...

Re: IDC 3.2 direct Link

I'd skip IDC as a freebie it's still not really even passable has limited functionality and delivers mediocre results. Time to scrap this one and start from scratch, either that or simply get a deal going with a real software developer and bundle that with your cameras. I downloaded the Sony softwa...

Re: An odd A700 problem (?)

Do you see a normal image through the viewfinder? I was going to suggest that if you have an extra camera you post images looking into the camera with no lens attached. One with the normal mirror position and one with the mirror locked up? But maybe any sensor offset would be too hard to spot so I w...

Re: Changing 72 DPI to 300 DPI?

Does the program refuse to load the file at all? If so it is completely broken. What OS and image editing software are you using? You might be able to use actions or batch operations to automate conversion of a set of files at once. I tried photoshop and Irfanview but they both seem to want to rewri...

Filter Systems

I'm thinking of using ND grad filters so that means purchasing a holder and filters. Does anyone have advice on the best systems (I'm most likely to be using the Minolta 17-35mm f/2.8) or 50mm f/1.7 on A900.) Quick web search comes up with Lee (expensive) and Cokin-Z (various people say the Cokin ND...

Re: PMA round up

Re: Finally, my Northern California Book

I like the landscapes especially.

Where is the spider sculpture? I'm guessing the Bay Bridge, San Francisco maybe. I took a picture once of two statues there but never found out what the sculptures were.

Really nice photos.

Last time I took a photo in a (near-empty) mall in the USA a guard came up to tell me to stop.
