Having bought the ebay gadgetfinity triggers first I found them to be endlessly frustrating. They had poor range and and weren't very reliable. The skyports are WELL worth the money at even 4-5x the cost of the ebay triggers. I know that as long as the battery is charged the skyports will fire -...

I did ask if I could speak to someone in the service department directly but the helldesk person just kept saying that I should send the camera in or bring it in myself. I'm really hoping that they can remap it while I wait (its not a difficult job - my old Sony A-100 used to do it by itself...

I've just bought a D80 this week. I love the camera (definately a step up from my previous Sony A-100 in terms of handling and build and the viewfinder is a relief) but I've noticed that I've got a hot pixel - it really sticks out on dark backgrounds (bright red dot that can often be seen...

Another vote for Qimage. The quality of the prints is just exceptional. I like the fact that the default sharpening seems to produce really crisp prints without the need to spend ages working out how much sharpening to apply.

Thats exactly what I discovered. I used to hate the post-processing part of my workflow because Photoshop never felt "natural" to me, but Lightroom fits me like a glove. BTW - I have the same tendency to over saturate!! With every photo its a struggle to move the vibrancy slider over to the...

You can clone/heal in lightroom :lol:

Wouldn't you be able to do your cropping/saturation in Lightroom though? I agree with you that all my photos need at the very least some slight exposure tweaks/crops/saturation, but only a handlful of photos need extra time in Photoshop after the Lightroom edits.

I've actually modified the directory structure slightly since I made that diagram. Firstly, the DNG+JPG folder is now called Originals. I convert RAW from the card straight into DNG into the Originals folder (hence no need for the RAW Download folder). Thats where I reference the files from in...

The technique is this one: http://www.nwpphotoforum.com/ubbthreads/information/php/2007_Articles/rjohnston/roman2.php The basic premise is you create 2 versions of the photos (virtual copies in lightroom works brilliantly for this)- one where you expose for the shadows and one where you...

My file structure used to be 10 different subject folders (family, friends, travel, cars, flowers etc) with individual shoots within a folder labelled by date. Since I started shooting alot more photos in the last 6 months this file structure was proving to be a bit of a problem. I decided when...

I've created this: from this: by developing an underexposed and an overexposed photo in lightroom and then merging them in photoshop. Is that what you're after? If so I can post a link to the technique I used. If not just ignore this post :D

Hi all. My first post here. Busterboy, cute picture of the duck. I can't help but think cloning out a few of the distractions in the water would bring the focus back onto the duck. Sue, nice scene with the canal boats. I do feel the background is a little distracting though, maybe a...
