<p>Hmm I never thought it could be the battery, I have a few batteries, I am not sure if the same one was in the camera at the time, probably not It usually would happen after the camera has been off for a while, but the last time I got it back from Nikon it did it twice within 80 shots, first time on. I sent the card, and its not the card it happened on more than one card. </p>

<p>they are all black frames</p>

<p>I believe they could re create the problem if they just took the time, Like i said I sent them the cards with all the blank frames, this time .... or the last time.... they didnt even read the notes I sent along... they asked more about the problem .. and if they only would have read the notes I sent along they wouldnt have to ask the questions</p>

 

<p>Well at least they admitted there were problems .... they are saying there is nothing wrong with the camera despite the proof ... that they certainly didnt look at this time around ...</p>

 

<p>these are outdoor images, no flashes to miss fire, records all the exif data just like the frame before .. but is black ... its on aperture priority so .. I could have had the lens cap on! hehe :) </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Anyone have experience with the d300 shooting blank frames, its rather random... Its been back to Nikon Canada 4 times and they say there is nothing wrong with the camera ... However I have sent them examples each of the 4 times back to the shop ... all the exif data is there frame before and after are fine... <br>

Its quite obvious they dont know how to fix it .. contemplating a deal for a d300s </p>

<p >Windsor International Photographic Seminar Nov. 13, 14 and 15, 2009, St. Clair Centre for the Arts, 201 Riverside Dr. W., Windsor, Ontario</p>

<p align="center">The third annual Windsor International Photographic Seminar (WIPS) will be held Nov. 13, 14 and 15 at the St. Clair Centre for the Arts, 201 Riverside Dr. W., on Windsor’s scenic downtown riverfront.</p>

<p > The seminar is aimed at professional, amateur and beginner photographers as well as the general public to:</p>

<p > Learn, discover and share along with top photographers in North America.</p>

<p > Showcase the City of Windsor and the photographic opportunities on our spectacular riverfront.</p>

<p > Featured speakers are:</p>

<p > <strong>Ralph Gibson</strong> - A retrospective (Friday 6 to 9 p.m.)</p>

<p > The New York-based photographer will show a retrospective of his work. His career spans more than 50 years and his fine-art photography has been featured in solo exhibits in more than 230 galleries worldwide. Many of his photographs will be on exhibit at the Art Gallery of Windsor from Oct. 4 to Nov. 24.</p>

<p > Windsor is among The Stone, New York City and La Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris for presentations in 2009. </p>

<p > As well he has exhibits in 2009 at Arca Arte, Vercelli, Italia, Photo 4, Paris, Fahey / Klein Gallery, Hollywood. </p>

<p > Gibson’s photos are formal studies of light and shadow centered on one geometric element or single human gesture. Far from his documentary roots, he has compared his photographs to objects, at once rooted in reality and cut loose from it by the abstracting influence of light and shadow; his interest not in the camera’s ability to capture life, but to create a life of its own. His photographs present seductive visual metaphors and narratives about personal perspective.</p>

<p > <strong>Rob Provencher and James Hodgins</strong> (Saturday 9 a.m to 12:30 p.m.)</p>

<p > 'No BS photo success' Rob and James are professional photographers with studios in Sudbury, Ontario.</p>

<p > They are teaming up to provide a fast-paced, insightful workshop that will provide you with more ideas, tips and strategies than you can fit in a camera bag.</p>

<p > Darwin was last year's Travel Photographer of the year. A renowned instructor, author and photographer, he'll explore natural moments photography.</p>

<p > Sunday Sessions (9 a.m. to noon)</p>

<p > Rob Provencher will discuss portrait lighting and posing.</p>

<p > James Hodgins will highlight simple but successful techniques to enhance the use of off-camera flash.</p>

Hi

 

All my motor on my jobo seems to be going .. slow rotation speeds ..

I was just wondering if anyone knew how fast that drum rotates (turns

per minute) and if I can just manually rotate the drum

 

(processing e6) if that makes any difference.

 

 

Thanks

 

Don

I have a nikon fg .. there is sticky stuff on the mirror .. and

where the mirror comes up when fired .. the focusing screen.. that is

where the sticky stuff is coming from .. any suggestion on what to

clean this off with .. looks like foam .. gone liquid

I do the best job i could from a visual design standpoint. Enjoy the people you are working with.. and move on to the next creative assignment.
