Nice composition, but I reckon that the HDR effect spoils it a tad. Pity, because it looks "overworked".

My personal favourite is the Hot Shoe Diaries by Joe McNally. Its not the sort of book you read from cover to cover, rather one you constantly dip into. My version falls into the category of "well thumbed". As an aside , I HATE "Understanding Exposure" with a passion. IMHO its the most over...

Edit: Deleted - just remembered its against the rules to offer to sell outwith the classifieds. I think..

It's Vista on both.

I already use dropbox to sync between the two, so this might work. A copy of Lightroom on each computer reading an up to date and synced catalog off the C drive on both. I suppose that there are two issues here - one is that each catalog would have to be repathed to read each photo on the...

Does anyone know whether it is possible to have your photos located on an external hard drive and accessed wirelessly from Lightroom on a PC or laptop? Can the catalog be set up to read the external HD? It would work for me to be able to store my photos on an external HD and access them from...

Thanks for that everyone....need to put some of that into practice now.

So what's the thinking of shooting in the snow? Do you overexpose to compensate for all the light being reflected from the snow and so pick up detail in buildings/trees etc and risk blowing out the snow itself? Or do you underexpose to pick up the detail in the snow itself and risking turning it...

Note that if the overexposed part is completely blown then you won't be able to recover it.

Just read that thread. Understood about 1/10th of it.

Rubber for me too. As the actress said to the Bishop. Actually, it's not just that it has a better feel to it, it offers more protection to the point that you could drop the D300 and merely watch it bounce, rather than shatter.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I also sold my D700 for a D300 for the simplest of simple reasons - money. I got credit crunched. And have to say as much as I love my D300, it gets beaten hands down on just about everything by the D700. :'(
