<p>My current Lightroom 2 licence allows me to run on two computers. I currently use a windows laptop but am considering buying a second computer - most likely a Mac.... I am just wondering if there are any issues with switching the licence from the windows machine to the Mac?...thanks</p>

<p>If my ultimate aim is to produce b&w images, is it better to shoot in color at the time and then convert later using software or should I shoot at b&w setting on the camera (and also touch up later with software)? Thanks and pardon my ignorance - I am new to digital!</p>
-
<p>thanks to all for your advice - most helpful</p>

<p>Could someone expand on this comment? Does this mean that once editing changes to an image are confirmed they cannot be undone? Thanks</p>

<p>Just after some advice from members who currently use or have used the above software.<br>
I am just wondering which of the two software systems is the best to start with for someone like me who knows nothing about photo software (I have been shooting film for nearly 20 years). Primarily I shoot b&w and want to continue to do so with the digital camera I bought recently. Thank you.</p>

<p>I have just bought an upgraded M8 and was wondering what the best software for processing the images is. I mainly do b&w but thats not to say I will not do color at some stage in the future. Any advice is welcome as I have only shot film on an M7 to this point. Thank you.</p>

<p>alex, just out of curiosity, what prices are used M7s going for in Osaka and are they in good condition? The going price in Sapporo is around 200,000 yen from shops...</p>

<p> It doesn't tell <em>me</em> anything<br>
This thread originated with an observation regarding Winogrand and I simply responded with a comment he made regarding street photography. Given this is a community photographic site, whether my comment resonates with a particular individual at his particular point in his photographic career is not the point. There may be other people for whom this comment (trite or otherwise) adds to their experience in photography.</p>

<p>OK, and what does such "wisdom" tell us? Frankly, it doesn't me tell anything</p>

<p>Please accept my humble apologies for wasting forum members time....</p>

<p>I think it was Winogrand who said that some of his best photos were the ones that were closest to being failures...</p>

<p>Just wondering if anyone using the GRD digital uses the external viewfinder when shooting... if so, how is it? My local store has the camera but no external viewfinders in stock so it is hard to know how it measures up.<br>
Thanks</p>

<p>I have just bought an external hard drive to provide back up for film images I had scanned onto CD's. Knowing very little about this, I was just wondering what I need to do to transfer the images onto the external drive. Are there any websites I can get this information from?<br>
Thanks very much for any advice</p>

<p>I am looking to buy a digital camera and the G1 currently comes top of my list. One big reason is that I can use my Leica M series lenses on the G1 with the adaptor. I would be curious to know of other members experiences with the M series lenses and this camera.<br>
Also, how is the shutter lag? I have played with the camera in the shop but this isnt the same as being on the street so to speak.<br>
Thanks for your assistance</p>

<p>as suggested, go before the event starts and if you attend the actual 'event', look for shots on the fringe of the event. Many photographers only shoot the actual event and often overlook the peripheral images which can be more interesting.</p>

<p>Went to my favourite camera store here in Sapporo (northern Japan) to pick up a couple of 20 roll boxes of my favourite Neopan 1600 only to find none in stock. Upon enquiry I was advised that this film is no longer available by the box - only single rolls from now on (and got the same answer from 2 more subsequent stores). On top of that, the single roll price had jumped by nearly 25% in the last few weeks. According to the sales staff person, Fuji are looking to drop the 1600 in the near future and concentrate only on the 100 Acros and 400 Neopan films which if true, is a sad situation indeed as 1600 Neopan is a great film.<br>
Is there anyone one else out there with any other knowledge regarding this?<br>
I have emailed Fuji Japan late today but dont expect an answer for a few days....</p>

<p>what motivates me is the thrill of capturing a fleeting moment whether it be a look, an emotion or whatever. Something that is there once and then gone forever...</p>

<p>This doesnt suprise me at all. Sydney is well known for its aggressive attitude towards street photographers so it was only a matter of time before legislators decided to deal with this apparant 'threat' to society.</p>

<p>Thanks Soeren, you have some nice images on your website as well.</p>

<p>I have been living in Japan for the last three years shooting with my M7 alot of the time. I have just published a couple of books which I thought may (hope) interest everyone. The majority of the images were taken with a Summicron 35mm f/2 lens and Neopan 1600 speed film. The link (if I get it right) is as follows and any feedback or comments are most appreciated.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blurb.com/user/ssherwin">LINK</a></p>

<p>a sad loss indeed. I always found his articles and essays to be insightful and inspirational</p>

<p>As a grown man approaching 50 with 35 years of photography behind me, I am very happy to accept responsibility for my actions. I dont get in peoples faces, try to move unobtrusively without 'hiding' anything and try to judge situations before I shoot. I am however, not responsible for the over-reaction of some people on the street - that is something I cannot control. While smiling and acknowledging each others presence is one way of getting photos, it is not the way of pure 'street photography' which is a different style.</p>

<p>The website address I provided is not for anarchists or people with bad attitude - it is a legitimate photography site that provides a rundown on photographers rights in NSW. In fact this site has been referred to in several trade magazines and articles in the past. You may also find the following blog from a Sydney Morning Herald photographer of interest (if I get the link correct)<br>
