    Nifty 50

    Best shots from your cheapest lens. These are 50/1.8 STM<div></div>
  3. <p>Thanks Peter. I suppose we work differently; I make a lot of adjustments in PS, even if the image is a good capture. But a lot of it is trial and error for me, so I prefer PS, since I'm used to the workflow (been using PS for almost 20 years).</p> <p>I spent a few years scanning old 35mm negs and it's going to take me probably a few more years to output them. I'm so slow. About 90,000 images. Crazy.</p>
  4. <p>I suppose you didn't read the question? I assumed it was clear that I've not used the software and have a background with CC/ACR. My objective was in fact to get opinions by those who have used both.</p> <p>Thanks:)</p>
  5. <p>Hi guys, are there any reasons to include Capture One in my workflow with a Sony A7II when I already have Photoshop CC? Are there times where Capture One is preferred? For $50, it's a no-brainer, but only if there are times I'd need it over ACR.</p> <p>FWIW, I don't use Lightroom, and don't want to. I'm only concerned with getting RAW images into PS with the best quality.</p> <p>So again, is it useful to have Capture One on my box in conjunction with ACR?</p> <p>Merci:)<br> Shawn</p>

  7. <p>Hi all, just bought a Sony A7II to connect to my microscope. But the only adaptor I've seen which will utilize the full frame and create a flat field is way beyond me financially (ca. $1600).</p> <p>I am by no means an optics person, but based on looking around, will this (image) work to create a flat field (i.e. rectangular, not circular) image utilizing the full frame of the camera?</p> <p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18133514-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="680" /></p> <p>The Omax part is this thing:</p> <p>http://www.microscopenet.com/omax-140mp-digital-camera-microscope-with-001mm-calibration-slide-windowsmaclinux-p-10003.html</p> <p>Merci for any help as always:)<br /> Shawn</p>
  8. <p>Thanks Stephen. I've got gelatin, and concave slides, but my Artemia keep dying after about 2 days. I figure start with brine shrimp before moving on. Seems that culturing small specimens is not something to be thought of lightly...</p>
  9. <p>Hi Stephen, here's what I have. I went on a buying-spree not really knowing what I'm doing. I am hoping at least some of these will work with small metazoans (brine shrimp to drosophila-sized, incl. hopefully some tiny chordates...I know there are some circa ~1" sized fish out there for sale). Not really interested in plants or fungi other than looking at the prepared slides I've purchased. And prokaryotes only interest me within the microbiome of metazoans.</p> <p>Eosin Y (it's a pill?)<br />Methylene Blue Chloride<br />Methyl Violet 2B<br />Indigo Carmine<br />Iodine<br />Ethyl Alcohol (very small bottle)<br />Formalin-Nigrosin<br />Malachite Green Oxalate<br />Safranin O<br />Carbol Fuchsin<br /><br />I also have 99% Isopropyl Alcohol, 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, and Glycerin.<br> <br> I need much more, clearly, especially if I want to 'clear' chitin or stain cartilage or bone.<br> <br> Wish I'd taken some biology at school lol!<br> <br> Shawn</p>
  10. <p>Gerry - I'll check out E.O Wilson.</p> <p>Stephen - I have cat nails in alcohol, after bleaching and staining. Can't wait to view them:)</p> <p>What I did today: early brine shrimp:</p> <p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18111140-lg.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="903" /></p> <p> </p>
  11. <p>Hey Tim, I'm always lurking:)</p> <p>I use different light temperatures, usually, in my microscope shots; a particular colour for the transmitted, and a very different colour for the reflected, light. I'm very new at this. Would like to add polarizers and fluorescent light to my mix.</p> <p>I scrape by myself. I have a barely-middle-class income but keep investing in my hobbies. I pay my bills, live pay-to-pay, and try to have my fun. Carpe Diem:)</p> <p>New image...Worker Bee Leg, processed to heck and back:)</p> <p>http://www.photo.net/photo/18110652&size=lg</p>
  12. <p>When I was younger, in University, I had more models than I could handle, and had a great social life. Made great (to me) photos. Then I got old, ended up in finance regulation, where no one wants to be photographed. For over 15 years, I almost never got the chance to shoot. It bugged me, a lot, so I bought a couple of microscopes, and I can honestly say, it's the best time of my life right now. I've never been happier. I have a lot to learn regarding photomicrography, but my passion for art and for that matter science has never been stronger. I am a very alive person, finally.</p> <p>And I'd like the thank Phil for that. This website changed my life.</p> <p>Shawn</p>
