[QUOTE=Slippery-Q;43686491][url]http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77&Lang=en[/url] a bit curious to see what most of you score on a color vision test.

do you mirrorless dudes have to clean your sensors really often/do they get dirty quickly? seems like it would get dusty 10x as fast as a DSLR sensor behind a mirror and shutter curtain
The only thing I learned from this test is that I don't have the attention span to sort 88 colors that differ slightly from each other.
i guess this is why l usually edit my photos for warmer tones [img]http://i.imgur.com/IuBaIaO.png[/img]

Found out today that it's pretty likely I'm gonna be flown out to Croatia for 5 days in July to shoot Kendrick Lemar, Sean Paul, Pharrell, Danny Brown, Major Lazer, Ice Cube, Dj Jazzy Jeff, DMX and a few others at a variety of events. Probably jinxed it now by saying it but holy shit I'm so excited
Lucky you! I would love to not only photograph DMX but also have a conversation on life with.
off to see mogwai!!!
in addition to probably going to europe for at least a few weeks this summer, I might be going out to Jackson Hole, Wyoming with my long time childhood friend who has a house there im excited already c: [editline]28th January 2014[/editline] just the thought of all the astrophotography and landscape stuff I can do

Posting through Satellite-Internet from a ship :) Also unfortunately I had to agree to a paper that prevents me from showing any pictures of the windpark we are driving through, they are still building it. Basically dozens of babies like this: [t]http://offshorewindenergy.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/vidar.jpg[/t] It's looks like a city at night from all the lights. Maybe I'll slip a few pics without meta-data. Anyway, many greetings to you landlubbers!

Under same circumstance I have to have like a 20s shutter for the same amount of brightness. What am I doing wrong? Here's a reference to one of my own pictures [img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8091/8565468193_3a42db1d2f_b.jpg[/img] Here my shutter is 10s, aperture at 3.5 and ISO at 800. Does ISO really have that big of an impact? And what kind of settings would you guys suggest in the future, when it comes to astrophotography. I have a D7000.
ISO 800 is far darker than 3200. pump up your ISO, lower your exposure (not by much) and utilise PP noise removal [editline]30th January 2014[/editline] i'm no astrophotographer, but that's what makes sense to me at least

For every stop you increase your ISO, your shutter speed halves. So instead of 10 seconds at 800, you'd get 5 seconds at 1600, and 2.5 seconds at 3200. 3.5 to f2.8 is about 2/3rds of a stop, so that would getting extra brightness you wanted.
Still amazed over the detail on the stars, with a 3.5s shutter.
In Lightroom use a clarity brush on the sky, it should make stars brighter and more apparent
There's also more light hitting the sensor on a FF sensor than a crop. [editline]30th January 2014[/editline] Maybe he used one of those things meant for telescopes which moves the mount to track the sky, so you can have long exposure times without motion blurring the stars, then he exposed the ground separately and combined it into one picture.
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;43725257]There's also more light hitting the sensor on a FF sensor than a crop.[/QUOTE] More surface area yes, but with equivalent exposure times the shots will look exactly the same in terms of brightness, but the smaller sensor will just be noisier due to having less surface area. That said ISO 3200 on most APS-C sensors is not bad, depending on what it is you are shooting.

A 12 megapickle FF sensor will have less noise than a 12 megapickle crop because more light is hitting each pickle.

Had my first day of photo class, its a 3 hour class so the dude spend 2 of them going over every single detail of the syllabus. I thought I was gonna die. Then he showed us the enlarging room and that shit is tight. There's like 40 enlargers in there. He said that he's been to Academy of Art and their lower level enlarging room wasn't as good as this one. 20 bux and as much rolls as i can develop!
I remember someone posting a link to a neat-o calibration website, anyone have that link? I don't think windows calibration did well :((
oh wow, love it when i'm scanning for 15 minutes just to have a corrupt file :/ GJ epson
what should i do regarding lack of a safe working environment? we all got a big lecture about how liable everyone is if you fuck up a risk assesment but i mean, we're handing 800w lights, being asked to move flags, attatch gels and other shit but when i asked about gloves the advice we were given was "wait for them to cool" which obviously isn't practical. should the university be providing us ppe (gloves) in this case and should i tell them or do you think i'll just get told to fuck off and burn myself.
