Dear All, After getting "Blisters" around the neck carrying my Canon 60D and Red Line 24-105MM lens all day I bought a Hero3 Black. I use Nero 8 Vision to turn the files into a DVD but want now to keep the HD 1080 to show on my 42inch LED screen. Anybody know what is good software to edit...

I used Google Picasa 3 to re-size and crop my pictures. Every time I try to upload them, it says, "Invalid file type." I've tried converting them to jpeg, jpg, png, gif and bmp. -Same result. I downloaded one of Malik's awesome pictures and tried to re-post it. -Same result. Do I have to pay...

Always wanted the 70-200 f/2.8, but never will have the funds (along with my 200-400 dream lense). Now that they brought out a 70-200 f/4 version, it is in reach if I sell some other lenses. Looks to be a great lense for taking portraits of my kids doing everyday things while not noticing that...

Hey folks I have recently started exploring and shooting abandoned places and things we as humans have discarded and or forgotten about. Some people call it Urban Exploration, I just call it getting out and shooting. The whole idea of this thread is to post pics of anything we have...

so who has a Sony Nex 7 and who wants one? for those that have one, anything you just hate about it? for those who want one, what is it that is making you want one? sony and the nex series just isnt very popular here... well, until someone tries one.

So, I think I need a real tripod. I want something that can either stand tall or go wide and do the splits. What (if any) tripods are you guys using? Anything you like/hate about your pod? Any recommendations?

So i went stargazing near Hyak, Snoqualmie pass, WA last night. I had my camera pointed NE cause little cloud cover. I took a lot of photos with my Nikkor AFs-G 35mm 1.8. When i got home i opened them up and started increasing the shadow reduction and the exposure compensation and found...

Looking to get my wife 4/3 camera in the 300-350 range for Christmas. Saw the e-pl1 recommended in another thread. Was wondering how the e-pm1 compared as far as image quality is concerned. The things I like over the e-pl1 is the smaller size and 1080 video. I bought my wife a nice point and shoot...

I've just read a very favourable review of this marvelous prosumer camera and I want it lol. Resolution wise it competes with a large format camera for a fraction of the price. roll on next birthday :-):up: And heres a nice lense to go with it Nikon 6mm

Hello everyone. :) I need to ask some of the film/former film gurus here for some advice. I'm going to shoot a roll of B&W Arista EDU Ultra ISO 400 which is re-branded Foma 400 at 800 or 1600 ISO and I'm looking to push/stand process it with Arista developer which is supposed to be mixed to...

hello need help/tips on some coming trip to Atlanta Georgia gonna try to take dusk/night pictures at the Olympic Centennial Park, like this with my Nikon D3000 and the Shark Whale at the Aquarium

I've been waiting for this camera since the Mark II came out, I was a poor college student then. But I love the improvements they put in this one.

A few shots from last years car shows in the area.

Looking at getting a low F, 35mm lens for my D90. Can i get thoughts on the photos that i took with each of them and thoughts on the lens themselves? Nikon 35mm AIS F2 iso200 1/30s NIKON 35MM F1.8(photo f4) AF-S DX iso560 1/60s

Can anybody assist me in editing some photos? going through a friends wedding photos and i want to sharpen, unblur fix colors etc but as per what each photo needs to look its best, im quite lost. I want to print them to a 8x11 photo album for them. I have GIMP and Nikon View NX2 as photo editors....

I'm still new in the photography world. Its really a hobby in my spare time or when I'm with family or at events. I need a lens the can take wider pictures. Its difficult taking pictures inside my house because I can't back up far enough to get the photo in full frame. I was just curious if anyone...

Hey, As above really, I'm looking to get a DSLR, and am looking in the £3-400 range, happy to go 2nd hand (hence why I can afford those models) Want to be able to record video, while it's not my main planned use, the ability will be appreciated. They seem to be the front runners for my...

I've finally managed to get a half decent tripod A Gitzo GT2930EX but I am having a hard tme choosing a ballhead. It's really odd that we don't really make anything like that in the UK:brick:

Here we can gather our most popular pics on ex: Flickr (Or other picture host with similar statistics). If it changes, please do a new post (and if it then again changes back to a pic you already posted you don't have to do anything). Would generate in a rather high quality pic thread i belive?...
