Its apples stock photo editing software.

Really? Didnt even see that. Support up to 19mp cameras with direct raw support as well. For on the go basic editing it looks very impressive. Very lightroom and aperture like!

Adobe seriously needs to take their mobile applications seriously. Im not saying Apple will take them down but we have seen what happens when apple focuses on an industry. iPhoto is very impressive and they could easily bring aperture to the next ipad.

It's OK, at least it doesn't change any of the photos OG raw settings like LR does :mad:

Btw, anyone know how to export photos from iPhoto onto the desktop and make the files smaller?

What do you mean about OG Raw settings? LR doesnt touch the RAW file beyond converting them to adobe DNG if you set it up like this (which i do because it is a much smaller file with all the data from the original RAW).

I just mean SOOC raw settings. I find LR always tweaks the exposure + color a tad bit plus it just does something to it that annoys me.

It might vary from version of iPhoto to another. I have one that's a couple versions old so they might have changed it for the newer ones.

I am glad you did that. I personally LOVE animals and it is great to find other kind caring people. I find I desire to help animals above all else because most animals are in a tough position because of people and they truly have no voice. Animal rights and shelters have few lobbyists and political advocates.

I dunno - I hate HSUS - they have an animal rights/vegan agenda. Their push for "no horse slaughter" no condemns horses that no one chooses to buy to days of over-crowding, starvation and thirst while they are trucked to Mexico for slaughter (the people transporting them don't want to take a loss by providing adequately for them while traveling). There are humane standards for raising chickens (I use them), cattle, dairy cows, etc. You do not have to mistreat an animal to make it produce for you. In fact, the better you care for your animals the better the animal products are that you get from them.

When it comes to wild animals, unless they are obviously sick, etc., I kind of look at it as "I'm no their home turf," not vice-versa. In the end it is about respecting life (all life), not anything else.

[MOkoFOko]

If that's how it works, I should replace my lenses with a 50-500mm for 450 primes in one!

lol, not even close. It can be sharp, but you're starting around f/5. And it's not even as sharp as a good 100-400L

I would not say that about any other lens except the 70-200 II

I wouldn't say that about the 70-200 II either. What is it a prime replacement for? 200mm 2.8L? 135L? Maybe, but those are relatively cheap lenses to start. Stick a 1.4x II on the 70-200 II, and it's no longer spectacular. I'd take a 300 f4 IS L over the previous combo.

Be happy for the fact that anyone is paying attention to your birthday. One day you might wake up and realize that you forgot your own birthday and so did everyone else.

I used to hate my birthday parties. Me, my mom, and my cousin all had our birthdays on the same day. Grandma would host the party and there only was one cake that the three of us shared. We had to share everything.

Now, I'd give anything to have a birthday party with them again.

I suppose a person would get used to the colour, but it must look weird at first.

I know my brain will adjust to the tinting on my ski goggles and after awhile I'll start seeing colours properly. That is until I take them off and my brain needs to reset. :)

Well, I have refused to have the tests done but I've had a couple now, which suggests the spasticity and shrinking has started to cause reflux into my kidneys. I also tend to continually dehydrate myself to make my life endurable. So between the two, infections get pretty common. :(

Like it - and I have tons of sheet music I could have done that with. My creativity is nothing lately! I did try to take pictures of a blown glass globe but got the lighting set up wrong - will have to try again or do it maybe when I get or make a light tent...

I can't to connect to Ridernet on SSX!!!!!!

^Ethan, I have to give you some credit. You've been sticking to your 365. ;):cool:

That's about the most I've done... (at least around here) :lol:

[EthanPierce]

so have i

...and I appreciate it. ;):)

[jdizzle]

Thanks Julian - got some great shots that day, actually. :)

Maybe I don't suck after all. Lately I really feel like I do though. I have this whole "it's been done" thing going, for starters, and the world is still in "ugly" mode... and my senior that I was going to do street musician type captures with tomorrow will be being rained out (and there is now way I'm letting him take my Alvarez out in the rain!).
Just keep on shooting. ;)

[EthanPierce]

I don't like the regular smiley face. He looks a little angry. :)
Also, I'm going to bed.

[jdizzle]

It's actually level, so I'm not touching it. Accurate it accurate :p
Pfft! Remind me not ask you to by my sniper. :p:lol:

[EthanPierce]

Just keep on shooting. ;)

That's what I like about this 365. It serves as a good reminder for me to be shooting.

Well, I have refused to have the tests done but I've had a couple now, which suggests the spasticity and shrinking has started to cause reflux into my kidneys. I also tend to continually dehydrate myself to make my life endurable. So between the two, infections get pretty common. :(

Most days I won't drink ten ounces of fluids.

I see, I guess the key is to drink plenty of fluids, water especially. I think I can see how that might be an issue for you.

It doesn't matter what it is. Just shoot! ;)

[wuzzittoya]

Just keep on shooting. ;)

I used to come away with at least 10% good images after shooting. Lately I throw them all out. I can't tell if it's my attitude, the time of year, or if I just suck more lately. :lol:

At least I am still shooting. I'm doing a book study on here, so there will be assignments for that to do, and I'm considering taking some project advice and doing an obsession with hands, or the letter G or something and taking every picture I can of something focusing strictly on composition and making it "right." :)

[EthanPierce]

It's a good thing I'm not using a firearm. I'd have lost a good friend on day 7.

Hi.

Just catching up on all the posts. You guys had a slow day.

Bye.

Sometimes looking for perfection is impossible. I'm anal with certain things but, I don't expect to be perfect every time. ;)

Sorry to hear that. :(

Doesn't matter. As long as a small handful turn out to be keepers, that's all that matters. We're not firing guns or shooting back in the days of film where we had finite "ammo". I can get a good 800+ images on my cards on a single battery, and I aim to have that many by days end. If I walk away with a dozen that I really like, that's a GOOD day.

[wuzzittoya]

I'll be doing the best I can for two or three days with lots of D-mannose (the sugar from cranberries because I'm supposed to avoid the cranberries themselves). Then Monday if things are still bad I'll call my PCP and get it taken care of with real drugs. :lol:

It's something that happens; usually two or three times a year at this point.

Well, it is spring ahead tonight and church music tomorrow is all "the Lisa show" so I guess I'd better get off of here so I have at least a little sleep! Good night everyone (good day to those who are in a much different time zone) - hope that you all have a swell night/day/whatever. :)

You can say that, but I hate feeling like I wasted my time. Lately I look at things and don't even like them. Maybe when we have kittens the cute factor will at least make me keep a few here and there.

Again a good night - just couldn't help but respond. Thank you everyone for your encouragement. I'm sure when I'm not sick my attitude will be better, too. Just like men, sick women get cranky and should only be approached with caution (and maybe chocolate, if they're up to it). :lol:

Have a great one, guys!

Nice - how do you feel about not having the entire face in focus? Sometimes I'm criticized for that (especially on my animal shots for some reason) and I can't figure out if I really care enough about the criticism to change it...

[Harm]

Hi guys :)

Go shoot some crooked birds. :p

You need to get a 7d and just spam-shoot :D You're guaranteed to get a few keepers mixed in with the crap. My biggest concern is missing a specific moment because I end up with a bunch that aren't on focus. High-FPS bodies are made for people like us.

I just went through like 50 shots I took of a single bird that was difficult to lock on--I swear I went through a patch of 20-30 shots without a single keeper.

[MOkoFOko]

Go shoot some crooked birds. :p

The shot was level. It's your mind that's askew :p

Who is that supposed to be?

Stopping down the lens will get the entire face in focus. Does it matter? :)

if i was doing a real portrait session i would stop it down to not make it as noticeable but still has some bokah. I just took this snap shot of my brother.

my brother

Hi Harm. Wassup?

Oh, same old... You?

[*sigh*]

Note to self.... A 750ml bottle of 9% ABV beer really is best shared...

[jdizzle]

Here's a crappy shot. It took some work to recover due to the fact it was back lit. A few tools in PS helped recover it.

Same stuff. I just got back from watching Cirque De Soleil The Immortal Tour. It was awesome!

I can drink a 750 ML of Nigori sake. Not a problem. :p

Hell no it isn't! I'd have that all to myself too!

[MOkoFOko]

:lol:

He's on the "King's Throne"/can, so in essence, it is a crap shot :D

[jdizzle]

:lol:
Drunk! :p

[*sigh*]

I really don't know why people enjoy getting drunk....

[*sigh*]

:lol:d

It was a bottle of Unibroue Troi Pistoles, it's a good beer. There is one issue with it though.. it's Canadian... :rolleyes:

Last Cirque show we saw was the Love show in Vegas, about the Beatles. Was fantastic to see. I like how they have it set up for small crowds.

It's not about getting drunk. It's the buzz feeling that I like.;)

[*sigh*]

I can't stand it... I hate feeling "disconnected" at all.... But getting buzzed is sort of inevitable when you're drinking.. :lol:

It was cool as hell. MJ's music is classic and it will remain that way forever. :cool:

Play some CS! :lol:;)

I probably should put some more hours into the CS:GO beta.

Hahaha, you wouldn't last 5 minutes at a UK university then. Just drinking all week long. Monday is even "student night" when you go out. Beers are £1 a pint :)

Sets you well for the rest of your life. :). That plus you can handle your beers.

Then you go to Ibiza in the summer. You sleep on the beach in the day, go back to the hotel, shower, get ready for the night out. 6pm-6am you drink and go clubbing, find a bird to shag (they all have comps about who can sleep with the most so even you would get lucky, nick ;)), go back to sleep on the beach... All cyclic.

You need a better alcohol tolerance.

[*sigh*]

Well... I think my lip is back to normal.... I can't believe that bee managed to land on my lip and sting me while I was riding at 16-17mph... I nearly ran into a gate as a result. Thank heavens I'm not allergic.. although one other ride the guy I was riding with got stung in the back of the throat and he's mildly allergic.
