No worries mate, the high price is something any pro will happily cough up. They don't care about you and I using it a home. That is only good cause when we go to work, we want the boss to buy a license;) Besides, Photoshop just IS the best.
And yes I know Gimp too:')
I hope you are right, but as far as I can see the US has did a lot for censorship lately. Or do you know what the ACTA is about? Seen what is happening with viacom vs youtube? It's the DMCA that has shut down free speech in the USA and the usage of the most smallest part of a book is no longer considered fair use....
Buddy really, I hope you are right, but I am afraid you will be wrong.
Ok, I know this is/. and I know we all like to explain stuff and such. But dude, you don't tell a dad that his girl is gonna have sex one day.
You just don't:(
Ah that explains it. I don't have any wide-angle lenses. Well 1, but it's not ff, use it on a 20d for the snapshots and holidays. Thanks for explaining! And good to know btw, have to keep this in mind if I'll ever get a wider lens.
Thanks AC. Lens elements... I'm gonna use that one from now on. I am afraid you are right for the foreseeable future. But a man may dream:)
Didn't had a chance to test the Sigmonster yet, but I once borrowed a Bigma from a friend. Had some great fun with it and you get a really nice package for the price. But (and this is not meant to piss anyone off) at the end of the day I really like the crispyness and colors from the canonglass more.
Besides, I can stand a whole night shooting from my hand with a 70-200L but I don't see me doing that with a bigma no... let alone the monster:D
Sometimes I feel like an audiophile. Poor me.
Do you maybe have a source that you know is good on that. I didn't knew that they had to redesign their glass. Sounds like an incredible expensive operation when you have lenses in the price-range canon L-series is. Despite being a canon-user and mark ii user I have not run into trouble with my existing glass. The 5d works great, produces fine images, but it could be I am missing out on even better images. So would be cool if you have some more info on that.
Forgot one in my haste.
I can assure you that even on 4000eu bodies in bad lightconditions you will get noise even as low as 100 or 200 iso. Nothing that can't be fixed, but saying it isn't there and how you can easily go to 400 just isn't true. Don't even speak of iso1600. Where the grain on the oldschoolfilm was actually quite pleasant, the nois of sensors has little to do with adding 'feeling'.
Must have done something wrong. I replied to you but don't see my post coming up in my posted messages.
Ah well, again.
I'm Dutch. A lens is a piece of glass nicely cut and when you combine a couple of them you get an objective. At least, we make that difference here. Here in the Netherlands they really are different things. I wasn't aware that lenses has a more broad meaning in English.
Well let me tell you why the glass.
Because as I said. I don't need more pixels.
I work in low-light environments and I actually do know a thing or two about this subject.
And I even have to use the manual focus due to the autofocus being way to slow in bad light... Even on lenses with USM. (another more important improvement over more pixels).
I say 700mm because I need 700mm. 200mm doesn't cut it on most stages. At least not the venues where I work. Now ofcourse I know these things are huge. Have you seen the 1200mm from Canon? I did once at an exhibition. 150.000 dollars, needs a trailer to move... I'm pretty sure there is a way to make those things, smaller, less sensitive to dust and cheaper.
But really, don't call people bluffers when you have tell them that you need a full frame for L-glass.
L-glass works perfectly on any body, even the cheap D400/D350's. It is the other way around. Try to fit a cheap lens on a fullframe when you start seeing black edges. Talking about bluff...
In all fairness, AC2 is from Ubisoft. Less mentioned but the same week Ubisoft also released Silent Hunter 5, that had the same issues. Nobody was able to play. Well almost nobody. I was. I pirated the game. Thank God. Else I would have paid money for something I could not play and now I have payed nothing for something I could play.
Unfortunately the game sucked big time compared to SH4 that I own, so I deleted it. But I really feel sorry for those poor bastards who buy these games with that insane amount of DRM and then on the first day can't log to their servers.
I bet you that at the least 90% of those people had no idea what they were buying in terms of restrictiveness. Besides, what ubisoft is doing and EA wants to do is saying: Give me your money, and maybe I will give you a game. That just isn't good enough to encourage me to give you money.
Doesn't do it for me.
I want the pixels that I have on iso 50 and with F1 over a 700mm objective please. Make it smaller and less 'noticeable' then the L-glass I have to carry with me these days and I might buy myself a new body and some glass...
Oh, this one is really important. Make it cheaper please. I know you know that we (photographers) will just give you all that we have for a decent setup, but it would be so cool if a real good objective, would cost less than a real good car.
How can it be that they don't know how many waste they created? I would (maybe falsely) assume that practically everything that happens in a reactor is measured? Keeping track of your waste looks to me like single most important job in a reactor besides preventing it to go kaboom on us. But definitely more important than producing power (for me, feel free to disagree). So I find it a bit scary that they 'think' they 'might'...
Wait until the next Mass Effect or Dragon Age comes along. Release the 'demo' 2 weeks before the full game... Make sure the buyers of the demo can transfer their character to the full game and you just pleased a whole lot of people who really really really want to be the first to play the game.
But: I don't get it either and yet I buy every darn car-pack for Forca 3 that comes out.
Really, I do agree. It would not have been my choice to change a gui thousands of users already know and use and especially not in this way. I don't understand it either. But, I have no clue what the innovation is that he is thinking about to add in the next version. Maybe then it will all make sense?
I am no expert, but I have a feeling this has more to do with this. Especially in todays companies where there is a culture of promoting the biggest assholes and creating a play-field where you actually get rewarded if you F%@* somebody over. The elbow-way of making career gets you more. Unfortunately for those companies that work like this, they are actually selecting people to be liars and when you don't lie and so you come 2% of your target short, you're out. That guy next to you, who actually stole several sales from you... he is getting a new office.
These companies are breeding bastards and often they don't see that. But by selecting management on these traits (what they effectively are doing) I am no surprised at all by this.

Would love see that script mate. Please AC enlighten us all with you great wisdom. Share the source!

ahhhh you might a very good point there... Cause my jaw was hitting the ground at mach 7 also...
If anything, go to around 4 min, and watch till the end (only a minute left). This is groundbreaking. Insane. I hate it, gonna put me out of my job.

But as a non-american I really really really DO NOT want US laws. If I would, I would move to the US. The arrogance is striking. Btw, ca
Get of my trailerpark.
Let's see if you're still laughing when I start jumping here. Judging by your name, you just might fall of the earth. You insensitive clod!
Ok, I know this is /. and I know we all like to explain stuff and such. But dude, you don't tell a dad that his girl is gonna have sex one day.
You just don't :(
Yes, but assuming you would be my daughter I would knew I could count those parts. It's your virginity that I would worry about!
Sure son, now go brush your teeth and go to bed. Else you won't be awake and fresh tomorrow when school starts.
Isn't that how all data gets into this lovely lie-generator, by adjusting it first to make sure it fits what the client wants? Or am i doing it wrong?

Thank you! Makes sense when you put it like that.
Thanks, always interested in more books about the mind :)
