Long time for sure.

I was briefly nominated captain of the 3D Team circa 2003 or 2004. Ahh, the days when I'd open the garage door in the winter to chill the house for max-OC 3D Mark runs...

This is where I'm at. I'd hate to put together a Broadwell rig then watch Intel release Skylake within 6 months.

I'll stick with my workhorse Core 2 @ 3.6 for now.

Nice work :up:

Pulled the trigger on the AOC. Now I wait :)

I personally feel very limited in Lightroom at 24", 1920x1200. Oh, and I do not print my own photos. I go through Bay Photo via SmugMug usually.

Nice setup.

For those of us whose budgets are more earthly, something like the AOC Q2770PQU plus a colorimeter rental seems like a great deal. The monitor is new so there is not a large base of...

Here's what I found.

The Monoprice screen is great when calibrated, but can't dim the backlight. It is on 100% of the time. This leads to high power use. It lowers brightness by altering the...

I had this problem several years ago with KIS. The solution was telling it that your network is "Trusted".

I want to upgrade my monitor. I have the Nikon D7100 and with its 24MP (6000x4000) images I feel too restricted with my 24" 1920x1200 LCD. Heck, I even felt it wasn't enough with my 12MP Nikon D300....

Since the OP did not mention 120hz was a requirement, how about the 27" IPS-ZERO-G from Monoprice?

This thread hasn't seen an update in a while.

How does this panel do with color accuracy and black levels? Looking for an upgrade.

Revised gear list.

Rokinon 16mm f/2 (have, this is for landscapes and nightscapes)
Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 II (have, this lens is on my camera the most and is often used indoor with flash)
Nikon AF-S...

HDR photography was invented for realism. The fact that some people use HDR software to push their photos into the surreal doesn't change that ;)

Great photos, everyone. I especially love that...

I'm glad they work for you.

I'm a fan of combining multiple exposures when possible. Say a sky shot and a ground shot. Maximum control over the exposure. It won't work well in complex scenes that...

With such a clean horizon, you could also take 2 exposures and just put them together.

Pity?? She's smoking hot. Tats can be really nice on women if done right.

I still wouldn't buy an LCD TV today unless it was a small one for a non-critical, optional room. I own a 65" DLP, and would buy a Plasma if I wanted another (smaller) set. I've just never seen an...

See, the Nikon cameras have a slightly larger sensor, so my crop factor is closer to 1.5x. Which means a 50 is only 75mm. It works, but it is just barely adequate for portraits. Better would be 60,...

As an APS-C user, I've been changing my mind on this standard bit of wisdom.

I have a 16mm f/2, 17-50 f/2.8 and a 50mm f/1.8 along with my 70-300. I'm actually planning on selling the 50 when...

It's their only headset that works with the PS3. Sound quality and design seem good, but it is stereo only - I want know if it will be suitable for FPS gaming? And how is the comfort level?

Thanks...

All metadata is editable within Lightroom 5. Have you poked around on the right-hand side of the Library module?

BTW, great shot. Surprised you went for f/22 despite the effect of diffraction.

Perfect exposure, decent composition, everything's in focus. I'd say that's pretty good for a first try :)

Looks like Auto ISO should be good up to 3200 or 6400. What's killing your detail is most likely high ISO noise reduction. If you typically do this in post, disable it in camera.

Nice camera. It...

Where is this?
