The *Official Photography Thread*

I have a silly question haha I never bought a card reader when I got into all this. Is there a reason I should? I just plug my SD cards right into my laptop and import the photos to LR, then export the ones I edit to my external HD. What advantage is there to a card reader? Just faster reading or something more?

 

nope...techincally..your already using one haha

i have a desktop Mac and PC and they don't have built in card readers like most modern laptops. THus i have an external one..that took a poop..and i want to put ML on and go out tonight to shoot...but can't do that without a card reader..so off to wallyworld i go..

 

Thanks. I always here photographers saying one of the first things you should get is a card reader and I'm always thinking . . . why? haha

Makes sense if you have no other way to get photos to your computer.

 

#appleproblems

 

I have a Macbook Air haha not so much apple problems.

 

yea. I mean i can just plug in the camera..but i need to put a real file on.

Ill take my 8 core 12 GB ram stable as a rock mac over a PC any day..no PC operating system is worth a shit..and XP is officially going to be unsupported next month so it'll be dead and it was the last decent one.

Liniux is nice..but nothing runs on it i need.

 

Haha, I just like talking shit to get apple guys fired up.
I'm sure they're fine. Do they have a usb plug in?

 

Are you concerned about it damaging you camera? I would like to try it out since I don't currently have a remote shutter lock, but am hesitant since I haven't even had the camera (T3i) for 2 months yet.

 

so awesome! love them!

 

haha usb? what computer has that

Nah..i bit the bullet tonight as well..so far..purty swwweeet.

I have read so much about it..if you do it right..won't hurt it.

 

Okay..if you own a canon...you need to get ML...NOW haha so bad ass..

9 bracket HDR!! Built in Intervalometer..video shit up the wazoo...damn..why did i wait for this..Focus ramping!

 

9 bracket HDR?!?!? I just might have to do this.

 

Too many photos in an HDR tends to not look so great in my limited experience.

 

yep..9 bracket..haha or 8..or 7..or 6..or 5...or 4...

you get the idea haha

pretty sweet shit in here..

Dude it works EXACTLY like a normal canon..only if you want to use and access the ML stuff do you hit the delete button and it open ML.

Not really a hack..im going to go shoot some stuff though..shit is cool.

 

mine as well..but even 5 though would be handy.

 

I can do 5 with my Nikon ha

 

i can do 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 now haha

 

I have no idea what this thing is that does all that haha I'm not very good with technology for my age. I can google things and stuff ha I hardly trusted myself wiring up my headlight. I sure can get every nut and bolt in and out just right though ha

 

Magic Lantern firmware..its an opensource project that adds features to canon camera..sorry..no love for nikon..i think..might be something they are looking to expand too though not sure..

its free though which is whats awesome. ANd works well. Most of the vids you see with 5Ds are using ML. Even allows HDR video..

 

Love this thread! Just joined the forum yesterday. Picked up my fifth Tacoma today.
