Here's a few others I had for the challenge this week







Took this one several years ago and is still one of my all time favorite shots

 

these two have been bugging me. Kinda seems like there pics are too noisy, but they lose the mood of the pic if I smooth out/soften the details

what do you guys think, too much going on/sharpness in the pics?

Nope. Those both look good to me dude! The water one is a little difficult because it's not glass still. But it still works great!

 

any of you canon guys use magic lantern?

Been waiting for you t bring that up..

I have almost done it twice now..people love. Lots and lots of cool stuff.

 

I downloaded it and chickened out so far... A few things I know i'd use. Ugh, let me know if you go for it Anybody else in here that's done it chime in!

 

Does anyone else's computer run slow as hell when using Lightroom? My laptop is like 6 months old for goodness sake

 

I've tried it.

 

any opinions Ian?

 

HHS yea I have downloaded it too.

Should do it. But I don't do enough video to justify it

Need power and ram.

My Mac Pro 8 core with 12 GB of ram has 0 issues.

 

I liked it. There are a lot of features that are probably better suited to video crowd. I forget why I went back but I did.

One thing. Canon says they won't void your warranty if you use it.

 

jeremy, my thinkpad with 4gb ram and a 2.1GHz i3 dual core runs slow at times but it's definitely livable. Might depend how cluttered up your computer is too with other stuff.

 

Thanks, hmmm i'll have to try it now... I really want to try the follow focus and recording vid down to 3 frames per second for time lapse

 

3 fps is waaayyyyy too many for time lapse IMO. Mor like 1 fame ever 5-10 seconds for time lapse.

IMO anyways. Then again it really just depends on your final frame rate..lots of stuff.

Video= whole other world

 

Depends on what you want.
3fps is still nearly 10:1 time compression, so if you're looking to compress the half hour before and after sunset into a 10 minute video, it's perfect.

For something that spans more than an hour or two, ya... 1-15 seconds per frame.

Speaking of which....

Just ordered one to replace the basic Nikon remote release.

I really like that it has the ability to adjust exposure on the fly so I can go 100% hands-off bracketing for HDR.
