thanks for the nice video

Very useful little tute thanks. I used selections on segments of a house diagram. It means I can have my paint colour under the burn. Then if I need to change the paint colour, the burn doesn't have to be redone.

Re: Sigma DP1 vs. Ricoh GRD

mayankpandey — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:05:31 -0000

thanks mate. That was fast. I would probably go for a specialist camera only.

Re: Sigma DP1 vs. Ricoh GRD

mhartel — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:59:02 -0000

the Ricoh is much faster, has a fixed lens, and the buttons are configurable, which I consider a strong plus.
The Lumix LX-5 has some shutter lag, but much better video and a zoom lens and very good quality files. I have both, at the end of the day I prefer the Ricoh...

Hi Markus, greetings from India. I am looking to pick a small camera (below $500) something that i can carry around for my street photography. I have shortlisted Ricoh GRD III (its now much cheaper) and Lumix LX5. I do not somehow end up making my mind. What will you suggest.

Its odd but I like this picture because to me it says something about American decline/ political corruption.

Great shot! I can't quite figure out if the light on the guy was sunlight or an artificial light?

Interpreting this as a study of the human form is really interesting, the woman in the advertisement, the dark figures walking along the street, matched by but also contrasting with the dark stationary mannequins in the window, the statue whose head rises up in contrast to the cut-off head on the sign.

Really like this photo. What exposure did you use?
