FEATURED The Big Photography Thread

18-135mm STM arrived. The noise this STM motor makes is unbelievable.

Pretty sweet deal, that (the Lightroom deal; then lens was a pretty sweet deal too though ).

First lightning shot of the season, first image post processed using the new BenQ EW2740L.

I think this monitor and I are going to get along nicely. I tried to get this image looking good on the Samsung A300 I was using before the BenQ arrived, and was not happy with the results one bit. The BenQ made it much easier to get it looking the way I wanted.

Figured I'd at least share the shot and see what y'all think. This was shot really high ISO and had a lot of noise reduction work needing doing.

looks nicely dithered with a difficult pallet range. only if I view it from top down it exposes the pixelation but that would be the weakness of lcd I suppose.
spot on from optimum viewing angle

Perfect Effects 8 is available for a limited time for FREE ($100 value). No sign whatsoever of when this will end, so if you're interested I wouldn't wait. They have been having server trouble all day, so try back if the site can't be found.

Thank you for this! I am wondering if this uses GPU cuda power like some adobes do.

I really have no idea. I saw the deal on PetaPixel, grabbed a copy because hey, it's free, and quickly tried out some of the presets. I figured there would be a couple people here interested, but otherwise I have to admit I've never used it.

Thank you for the download. I got a copy & will give it a try.

Conrats Thideras! That note almost made me spew coffee all over my screen... nice one!

I haven't made you guys hate me in a while. I'll have to remember to post some pictures of my photography gear tomorrow. To lazy to take pictures right now. Busy hacking misc stuff into something fun .

Gratz on the 70D hopefully it works well for your use, I wasn't very happy with them.

 

[GTXJackBauer]

Don't worry gentlemen, there's someone always worse.......

 

[TsunamiJuan]

Yeah I went a little more crazy than that when I started buying stuff.

When you buy Multiple pieces of L glass in a month specifically the white telephotos you know you have a problem
