Well, here's a funny story for ya! The first thing I did when I got home was change the camera settings so that the shutter won't release w/o a memory card in the slot! I bet those 50-60 photos were my best ones of the day too. DAMN IT!
bummer lykofos....at least it happened on a moderately crappy shoot. (color temp & weather) Im pretty much done with processing, I gotta find a place to put them....
Here are some, umm, shots from today - for Dave - it is easy to replace the sky in PS...or do you remember seeing this sky today?
and
As for memory cards..Ending today: Staples, Sandisk 512 $35 (gonna get that on the way to work)
If you want fast or big, try circuit city : ultra II 512 $59, 1Gb $69
thanks prof fate. I have found that presetting the white balance, for the D70 anyway, is paramount to good temperature. I didnt do much with these, my PP includes levels, shadow/highlight (VERY powerful) and sometimes a little saturation boost. In order for the saturation to work, the color data needs to be there. Hence the white balance preset. You can always shoot raw and set the temperature at home, but Im striving to get good images out of camera, like the film guys do! thanks again for the kind words!
Well, I just got back from Ritz...you were right, they took it back no problem although they didn't have the backpack style there, I did get one that is a bit bigger and even extra room for a lens or two and a flash or something and it has tripod hooks :-D
btw, Justin...your photos look 50 times better than mine -- I just briefly went through them, didn't edit any yet...but it's like we were at a completely different place or something -- great work!
Damn Justin, those photos do look like they were taken somewhere else entirely! The hues and saturation you got is unbelievable for such an overcast day. Great work.
I just back from work, and may even post process some of mine tonight! Not a week later this time. Btw, can ya email me that thing too?
IMHO thats the ticket.... overcast days provide a great amount of light, you can push the temperature up ordown a bit without completely blown highlights..........
Chris - yes I used a kodak whitecard for setting my white balance. Its crucial IMHO to getting good temperature. you vcanalso use the grey side of the same card.... I preferwhite. though. sorry for typos... been out drinikin. :)]\
