The title said it all. Let me know how much? Thanks.

Ok, I am looking into where to download Windows 8 legally. Have another questions. The product key is for OEM. Can I use it on Win8 pro?

I think I know what you are saying. I should use the key instead but to find a copy of Win8 32 bit to install it....

Well, I couldn't even get pass the loading screen (the black and white dos screen). I am listening if you know a way around it...

Wow, haven't posted her for a long time.... Long story. My local computer store had me to purchase the 64 bit version because they didn't have the 32 bit. I am kind of upset since they won't refund me the money even though they had me to buy the 64bit version. It turns out the Dell system I...

Don't see how I would be in troubles.... It is just like any other packages.... Besides, it isn't real.

The title says it all. Forza 3 $15 shipped and paypal Bio Shock 2 $15 shipped and paypal GTA 4 grenade. $60 shipped and paypal. It is an actual grenade which has been hollowed it out. I say it weights about 3lbs. According to the Rockstar rep, they only made 12 of these during the...

Thanks. I am totally addicted to film right now...:) The pier shot seems to be everyone's favorite...:)

Will try Ektar 100...:) However, at ISO100, that's pretty much a good, sunny day film. I find the Kodak Ultramax 400 has very fine grain as well. Surprisingly less grainy than the cheaper Fuji Superia 400.

Some shots from a roll of Fuji Color 400 Pro negatives:

Some film shots. Contax RTS II + Carl Zeiss 35-70 f3.4. Shots taken with my Contax RTS II and Carl Zeiss 35-70 f3.4

Yeah, almost forgot about shooting slides, since I don't need to have my film printed. I can scan them and printed off the digital files. Unfortunately, I haven't found a lab that does slides other than my local place, which is about 2 blocks away. However, I didn't like the way they printed...

However, don't be surprised if they were shot with film.....:) I am planning to get a good film scanner soon in order to scan my own negatives. Most likely I will run them through photoshop also. I found that most labs aren't worth a dime when comes to scanning your negatives. Their prints...

Hehehehe.....no, those are taken with my 1dmarkIII and 24-70L. They are digital. I added a bit of glow effect from photoshop since the snow and the brightly white color do have that kind of effect.

Trying to get into film......got my test roll back from the RTS. Looks like I have to scan the negatives myself and to print them out from the digital files. Some Winter shots at the park.

Shots from the Mystic Aquarium CT yesterday....

Thought I headed to the New York Aquarium to test out 2 of my recalibrated lenses. 24-70L and Sigma 50. Also, try to nail down some jelly fish shot using a manual focus only Carl Zeiss 35-70 f3.4. The jelly fish room is always too dark even for the AF to work. 24-70L Sigma 50...

I would get a soft pouch case, and avoiding touching the lens or the cover.

Some gear porn... You know I am a big Carl Zeiss fan. Pretty much my entire lens collection. Replace the Tamron with a 24-70L.

The focusing screen would have nothing to do with the AF system.

Did you need to MA the Sigma??? Somehow, I don't believe Sigma has ironed out their AF issue. Recently, I have my Sigma 50 calibrated by Sigma. I drove there and waited about an hour or so. It was nice. It turned out the typical waiting period is about 2 weeks if I did mail it in....

There is the general misconception about longer lens taking shots of far distance subjects. Mostly, longer lens is used to capture smaller subjects at the same distance. The longer focal length can enlarge the subject, such as birds and other smaller wild animals which you can't get close to...

Haven't posted here for a while. Couple of random shots: My newly acquired Canon 24-70L and it has been calibrated by Canon. Focus is dead on. Been playing with some studio lighting... Trying out some black and white effect. My niece My favorite...

Don't know but expecting to cost close to $10k....:) Wondering how many megapixel we are dealing here. Is cheaper to get a 5dmarkII though.

Checkout this deal... Given that you budget is low, I would stay with Canon. Canon XT, XTI can be had for under $300. Now, this Canon 30D is much better and considered a pro-consumer body about 5 years ago. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=910902

About 70% of the image quality is determined by what lens you use. Brands may not mean much if you are shooting with a kit lens. Until you are into the pro-consumer level body, pretty much "which brands" does not matter. Both Canon and Nikon have very good pro-consumer to pro bodies. But...

Haven't posted here for a while. Here are some shots from today, from NYC Brooklyn Aquarium:

Hmmm....I would think that a boat costs more than the Canon 300L F2.8 IS???

I believe is 1200mm....:) I believe BH should one in stock...

I really want to get rid of this frame. I don't have money to build another road bike. I don't do time trial anymore and I am already riding a Cannondale Caad8. Take the frame and all the other parts for $350 + shipping. I do hope I can sell this locally. Here is the picture of the frame...

I finally retired my Pentium D after all these years. :) Here you go. Take the whole lot for $55 shipped and paypal. Pentium D 2.8 GHz with the retail Intel heatsink/fan. 2x512 (1GB) A Data DDR2 800 memory. Bioshock2 $35 shipped/paypal Forza 3 $35 shipped/paypal Official...

Bronx Botanical Garden...

Having fun with some shots from the NYC International Auto Show...

Yellow Bellied sapsuckers... Red Bellied Woodpecker Nuthatch

Wow, awesome.....a bit of post processing I think you can make the shots even more dramatic.

Sorry guys, everything is sold.

Well, I see you got your XSi..:) Your ISO is too low at 100. Is this shot on a tripod? If not, up the shutter speed to 1/100s using a higher ISO and larger aperture (lower number like F4). Your white balance is too warm. Try to select tungsten lighting.

You were like me 3 years ago. :) Had an Olympus 3mp camera back in the days. Fast forward to 2007, I bought a Canon Powershot with 10mp. I was looking at iso400 grainy land. I would have thought that the technology in point + shoot has gone better. Then, I jumped on a XTi. 3 years later...

You only use a polarized filter to reduce reflection from windows, glass, water, and any reflective surface. It can be bad too because you essentially make your subject to look flat. For that to work, the filter, you, have to be perpendicular to the direction of the sun. With a polarized...

I know the lens is awesome but I don't use the 70-200 focal length. I have a 135L and I only use it once in a while. The new lens is $2500 too. :)
