I deactivated my Facebook account a week ago and the fact that I had amassed all these friends — something like 800+ —that was my reasoning for turning it off instead of unfriending people. I play in a band (a terrible one—- you would hate it) and you meet a lotta people that way, not friends—- people.

"I don't know what sort of algorithm Leica has come up with for processing grayscale RAWs (I assume it will make grayscale RAWs), but I would think it has considerably wider dynamic range than RGB."

So am I the only one who thinks the idea of a monochrome digital camera is silly? Why would a serious photographer want to give up the ability to manipulate the colors to create something interesting? Once you have a monochrome image you give up a lot of post processing options. I have never met a B&W photographer who…

hmmmm... must be something in the air:

you may wanna take a peek at box.com. 50 gigs for free. very reliable so far.

Right right... I haven't messed with any of that in years so I mixed it up. Thanks for clarifying.

You actually need 2 lights. The Sodium is best for what the kids call "Vegging" (growing the plant to the desired size)—- but fluorescents will also work okay. And the Metal Halide is best for "budding" (if you have to ask what that means then don't worry about it.)

Love B&W. Here is one from my portfolio. Too old to submit.

You still have to get the image in the frame. That is what a photographer with a good instinct does. No app can tell you what to photograph. I typically don't use filters and there is a setting on instagram where you don't have to use one—- the default setting. So you can prove you artistry all you want filter free.

Whats wrong with Raisinets?

I shoot only in black and white and to say that one camera could do it better is really just silly. Black and white is an entire world with many tonal possibilities. It is kinda like Reggae music. If you listen to it you can tell the difference but people who don't think it is all the same.

Lean forward to go lean back to stop... Just like on a real skateboard. Electric boards are torque monsters that shoot straight to top speed. You best be leaned forward or your going off the back.

I think the best thing about having this guitar is that you would never have to worry about it being stolen

I have a design company that creates motion graphics and I work primarily with Motion 4 and I also had to delete the new Motion after a few minutes because it was too buggy to complete a basic project. I got a refund from apple for it because it is not really out of beta from what I can tell.

Maybe New Zealand is becoming like America. Copyrights above Human rights. It's crazy how people in these media industries can snap their fingers and the gov will jump and do their bidding.

I dunno if it is making people miserable — or allowing miserable people another outlet for their own self loathing.

My apologies for expecting more. To call me a troll (stage 99? what is that?) for being accurate and then defending the writer for doing a bad job is confusing to put it lightly. But your tssk tssk attitude is pretty awesome.

Snapseed is an amazing piece of software. It offers a lot of the same functionality of NIK softwares suite of of photography post processing software—- which costs $300. If it could batch process it could be used professionally. I dunno about the person who wrote this article but if they are slagging this software as…

I have heard a lot of talk like that but in my experience the coworkers who complain about the sales staff would be in the corner crying in a fetal position if tasked with taking on sales for their company. I handle design and sales for my company and the design part is easy compared to what it takes to generate…

I had a friend just yesterday balk on spotify because of the mandatory FB integration. The timing of it is terrible considering FB could very well be on the way out due to the design missteps. They really Gizmodo'd it up over there...
