KEEP THEM COMING It's great that the web lets you learn from the pro's in so many fields Is it sharp or not? I've started posting images from my Nikon Coolpix 5700. I've now shot about 500 images. When everything goes well, the camera is awesome. It does take some getting used to the focus and manual settings, though. I'm still learning about the camera and probably will be for years. But, right out of the box you can see that it makes pretty darn nice and clear images. All of the images posted so far are unretouched images straight off of the camera. I think in the few hundred images I've posted so far you'll see a good range of different types of subjects. You'll also see that I used flash a lot (I bought a new Nikon SB-50DX flash that is pretty nice). [Scobleizer Radio Weblog] 10:05:22 AM     Comments[]

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS gets added to the shopping list. Terry Frazier weighed in with a comment and an educational post about my question earlier today. I also got a comment from Dave Rogers. Thanks to both of you! Oh, and Rob made a couple of great suggestions without coming right out and calling me a dummy. If you haven't already, check out the apple cores for permalinks. 3:05:40 PM     Comments[]

WHICH APP TO USE? Sticking my toe in the digital photography pool, I hear about three applications for photo editing: Adobe Photoshop Adobe Photoshop Elements JASC Paint Shop Pro Does anyone have advice on how to determine the right tool for the job? Is it logical to think that someone just starting in digital photography will find all they need in Photoshop Elements, and because it's from Adobe, the upgrade to Photoshop would be an easy transition? Adobe Elements 2.0. Adobe has announced an new version of Elements. Version 2.0 adds a variety of new features and improvements including a Glossary of digital photography terms, Quick Fix dialog which can add immediate fixes in...

ROBERT'S EXCITEMENT IS CONTAGIOUS When was the last time you were this enthusiastic about a purchase? More great Nikon Coolpix 5700 images. Think digital cameras aren't there yet? Look at these shots, taken and posted yesterday. The Nikon 5700 is looking like a very awesome $1200 camera. In particular, look at this image. Along the bottom, you can see the full image as it came off of the camera. These are unretouched images. Awesome. I have this one on my desktop right now (I applied a little sharpening in Photoshop, and also increased the contrast slightly to accentuate the color -- I cut off some of the darker pixels by using Photoshop's adjust levels tool). If this is the kind of thing we can expect to see, we're going to see a whole new age of photography. Ansel Adams would be thrilled. Oh, by the way, http://www.pbase.com is awesome for sharing photography with others. I'm going to send them some money to help them stay in business.
