Any recommendations for a photo magazine that is geared to the DSLR
amature photographer?
Thanks,

Can anyone tell me if I need to invest in an actual Chromakey backdrop or if
I can simply use a similar color fabric from a fabric store?   If the
latter is ok, any suggestions on material?   I'm assuming I would want
something that absorbs as much light as possible to minimize ...

I just set up a new PC with Windows XP sp2 (with Nikon's thumbnail fix
for XP sp2), Photoshop CS2 and Nikon Capture 4.3.1. As far as I know,
I have the latest updates of everything.
I am trying to open a few D70s NEF files which I have opened

I have been playing around with a new filter when I started noticing hot
pixels on my 350D. So I did some tests: I have two pretty visible hot pixels
in the image. One is bright blue and one is bright red. Both are about 2x3
pixels large.

I recently acquired a Nikon D70s and have been fortunate enough to have had
the chance to travel round Slovenia with it taking a large number of NEF Raw
images.
Now I'm home, I'm experimenting with the various options as far as

I'm still trying to fathom out the D70, I seem to get a blue cast to all my
photo's except those taken on a sunny day with clear sky,I know it's to do
with colour temp.Most days in the UK are cloudy so which way do I alter the
colour temp to warm it up a bit?

I knew the D50 had a "problem" in using a proprietary "NEF" [RAW]
format that Photoshop CS2 [PS CS2] couldn't read. To my horror, when I
got my D70S yesterday [I already have a D70] PS CS2 couldn't read the
NEF format. PS CS2 has no problem with the NEF format created by the

I ordered a D50 from one of those mailorder places that give me the
creeps.  The sales guy (who actually didn't seem TOO sleezy) told me
that the MH-18a battery charger was internal to the camera and,
therefore, you really couldn't use the camera while the battery was

I would like to announce a new photography forum:

Take a look at the 1600 ISO shots.

I've seen quite a few shots of animals recently where the photogs
coudn't get too close, for various reasons.  What struck me was that
although the shots were sharp, they were obviously heavily cropped
because noise was evident in them.  Noise in pro DSLRs is "attractive"

I haven't seen any affordable lenses for the D70 in the high mm range, my store
only goes to 400mm
Any suggestions?
I'm thinking of maybe buying a telescope instead... A 2000mm is comparable in

When Olympus announced it's two most recent P&S cameras,
I posted that I thought they'd thrown in the quality towel,
choosing to become like all the other slob camera companies
out there making cheezy plastic pieces of junk. Disposable crap

I recently bought a 42EX flash for my 300D, and while testing the combo
for exposure accuracy - given the numerous comments about underexposure
with Canon flashes - I found I have a different problem.  The flash goes
off by itself every few seconds, apparently a pre-flash since it ...
