<p>roy, i guess i should have clarified it--the main reason i said "handheld" twice in my post was that many countries, or even individual towns or architectural complexes, have regulations against the use of tripods or stands in public space. why, you might not even get in with a <em>folded</em> tripod or stand. i know nothing about india, but it's probably something worth checking<br> i have the photorogue all-included kit and it's great within its obvious limitations of size and distance (as in, m u s t g e t c l o s e :))<br> still, a few small strobes placed out of sight in the various openings, niches, cracks, and triggered via radio, might be cool<br> http://strobist.blogspot.ca/2011/09/mike-kelley-two-speedlight.html#more<br> ps. sorry, no examples from me, my own attempts have been embarrassing so far--great you can test ideas out on digi!</p>

<p>if you're attracted to a detail--snout on the detail, handheld, underexpose the rest... if instead you like the overall architectural composition, flash on cam, long shutter and some nice fluid camera shake, play with light balance... back light openings/doorways/windows/cracks.... treat statues like humans, with a handheld photorogue grid... etc etc... hey, this is just the beginning :) have fun</p>

<p>yup</p>

<blockquote> <p>5 years beyond expiration date might give 1/6 stop extra fb+f with some developers, 1/3 stop extra fb+f with others when compared to fresh film. It should produce acceptable results at EI 400 and normal development.<br /> Expose it at EI 320 or 250 and process normal for up to 9 years beyond expiration.<br /> At 10 to 14 years beyond expiration expose at EI 200.<br /> At 20 + years EI 100 or EI 50 with 25% to 50% extra development at 65°F.<br /> fb+f is film base +chemical fog.<br /> B&W film that is beyond 15 years past expiration should be tested for best exposure index and development time/temperature. 65°F produces less fb+f.</p> </blockquote> <p>:-O<br> boy, do i wish all forum replies were like this! printed and framed :-D</p>

<p>yes. but they are <em>different</em> keepers. the number of keepers is more related to the number of worthwhile motifs encountered during the day/walk/event than it is to the number of frames exposed. more shots per motif simply allows more precise expression of an idea to emerge from the editing process<br> 8-)</p>

<p>let me know when you find that perfect digicam with rounded finder corners ;)</p>

<p>having just scored perfect on both tests above, i'll tell you this--<br> the first one is very very hard, even to someone like me, who works with colour a lot and has above average sensitivity to it. i wouldn't worry at all if you did not do well, 9 people out of 10 would not<br> if you do not score perfect on the ishihara, it's a different story altogether: that test is designed to expose relatively well-known deficiencies--you should consult a doctor if your or other people's safety depends on colour perception (e.g. you are a driver or a pilot)</p>

<p>in photoshop, go image, rotate, 180... that's it, that's right side up ;)</p>

<p>In the 20 years of my backcountry adventures, I have never seen anything approaching, let alone matching DEET in effectiveness. Most of the "natural" repellents are just fragrant and enticing condiment for bear food--you. My advice: learn how to use DEET safely; the way it works, you don't have to spray it on skin--just make sure you put it on cotton, not on anything with plastic in it. Oily spots and discolouration are battle scars, wear them proudly and boast of <em>your</em> 20 years our there... ;)<br> Of course, the above will only make sense to you if you don't buy thousand-dollar hi-tech titanium-spork-and-whistle-built-in swimming trunks in fashionable colours for every hike.<br> And finally, I have not used DEET in a long while. If viable, long sleeves and a wide brim hat with a mesh do a great job without the smell and the damage. My last-before-ban bottle of 100% Ben's is still half-full. Do you scratch yourself for a couple of days? Sure, but it's their world, not yours--that's why you go there, no?<br> PS. Contrary to tabloid opinion, ticks don't just rain from blue skies. Think. The brain is still our primary adaptive mechanism and our best defense.</p>

<p>you'll use red once or twice, most of the time even orange will ruin the neg with heavy contrast<br> i say, yellow, gradient, polarizer... orange if you must have four<br> better still, grab a representative (of you) sample of colour pix and simulate the effect in photoshop. then decide</p>

<p>Scala, Astia, HP5+ - toss a (three-sided) coin...</p>

<p>wow! so the manufacturer willingly marks down items adjusted to spec while still in factory? impressive... restores my faith in free market :)<br> thanks</p>

<p>i was always wondering--what makes a camera "refurbished?" if they pull it off the shelf before it ever got sold, then fix it, how is it different from doing it right the first time around, in factory? kind of a "delayed QA," not much more. wouldn't all these "pulled" D750s return to market as regular items?</p>

<p>+1 for codecs<br> +1 for system resources</p>

<p>i say leave it. it's great for what it is--and for what you want to use it. everybody will love it and your brother most of all<br /><br />technically, the reflection is the least of its problems</p>

<p>ahem... i mean... like... ask her?</p>

<p>as does this thread<br> why popularize the dregs? so you can feel righteous yourself?</p>

<p>wow. who are these people? i mean, like, all of them... sorry, i'm a noob, i've only been doing this for three decades and my photography library fits in my closet... i think i need some more social influence in my life :(</p>

<p>you can try as many as there are... or you can go DD-X and never need to try any ;)</p>
