Is it possible to remove all visible colour wavelengths
in software post-processing, leaving you with only the infrared image,
rather than use an infrared filter?  I figure you could
use a narrow enough aperture on the lens to accommodate

I am just learning baout a new 20D.  AS remarked on elsewhere,  most/all
shots require a tweak to bring up the brightness.
No problem with Photoshop but time consuming.
The simple  "Easy Photo Print" software could be much faster with batch jobs

I can think of a lot of features I'd love to see on my D70.  For one, it
would be great to have a real, honest to goodness "point and shoot" setting
for those times when you don't want to futz around with settings and
curves -- where the image doesn't have to be perfect, just ...

I want the prints to look professional, studio quality & not like they were
printed at home.
Also, not too expensive per photo.
Any suggestions?

Is there a way to use the BruceRGB or other wide gamut color spaces on
the 20D?

Alan,
I used one of your tips for shooting sunsets and it worked like a charm.
Got very close on the first try, and then bracketed a bit just to get some
different effects.  When I swapped lenses to my 80~200 AI I just started

Is there a way to set the x and y resolution on my camera so that when
opening in Photoshop it displays at say 600 verses 300 that Nikons are
generally set at?  I know the settings are meaningless to the camera but
it's one less step for me.

Has anyone played about with infra red with their DSLR?
I used a Fuji S3 Pro and a Cokin 89B filter to produce these images:

Canon had the standard kit zoom.
You can see the difference in noise, the Canon's image has
a smoothness the C8080s lacks and it cannot be duplicated by
using noise removal software.

I am giving serious thought to getting one of these for my D70. Has anyone
got any comments on performance?
According to Thom Hogan you can use this on a full frame SLR from about
17mm onwards with good results, but I am more concerned with how it will

Was just browsing thru rangefinder lenses on eBay and saw a ton of
Leica lenses on auction with no bidders but the prices were
astronomical!! Just wondering, is the difference in quality (wrt to
high-end SLR lenses) so high to justify such high prices for *used*

A single lens reflex used to be considered
a camera with a viewfinder that imaged through
the lens.  But nearly all digital cameras do this,
albeit using an electronic screen for the image.

I usually shoot in bright sunlight with a lens hood and a U/V filter.  Is
the U/V filter necessary with a lens hood?  I don't see much danger in
damaging the lens with a large hood.

As far as I can see, the only time I've seen digital
images where things look "bad" is where you shoot
things like tree limbs against a bright sky background.
The lack of resolution (if they are far enough away)
