Remarkable ! I don't post much anymore. I've become more of a lurker of late. But I had to comment on this shot. It is not often you get to see where a trend starts and how. The shot captures so many romantic moments "In their own world" and " They kissed and time stood still" to name a few...

Difference in viewing between here and Dpreview? Dez Love all your pictures. They seem to look better here then in the Dpreview forum. Is there any difference in the path or is it just that I don't have to click to expand? Either way great shots as always. The only good thing about no Oct. NY...

Another for Filezilla Honestly I have not tried too many but I use and really liked it on my Windows box at work. I used to use the "ftp" command in Windows DOS command but recovering from a broken connection is a pain the only thing worse is using a browser. Filezilla will reconnect and pickup...

Peter, Thank you for your work. It must be hard at times. The staff at my hospital was fantastic. I'd go there at 2am and they would let me sit with Jennifer when I needed to be there, for me as much as her , we'd joke about the silly paper gowns they made me ware over my uniform I was 6'5" 230...

Well you have mine beat by a week. She was 27 weeks but she was even lighter 28 oz. I don't have pictures but it was our first and they did not give us much hope so the NBICU gave us as much time as possible with her. I gave her her first bath in a mixing bowl, feed her in a rocking chair and a...

Thats Great. I hope you get PA there are some great photo areas there, unless you like shooting seashores. I sit on the other side of the Army/Navy game but I always salute those who serve, even if they pick the wrong branch 8^) From an old squid tell him good luck and I'll never forget what he...

I don't care about the gear too much, I've seen some great shots taken with fixed lens cameras. But those shots were bad bad color, bad focus, soft and the composition was nothing to write home about. The age group that like it is a little surprising if it was my generation I'd have to attribute...

Almost all of my street shooting is in Manhattan, NYC, I have never been bothered, most are with the G5 because it is better tool for the job. RANT ON What I do though is respect the law and it kills me sometimes. I would love to take shots of the bridges the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge between...

Hey! Where did you get my picture. I don't remember posing for that.:biggrin:

Leopard and TimeMachine saved a major disaster for me today. I updated to Aperture 2.0 yesterday. I did not like my project structure so I created a new Library and stated to import files from 2004 into it. I realized I was dumping the wrong folders so since I just started I deleted them...

I have had not problems with TimeMachine and Aperture but I use referenced files so my Lib does not get that big. Not sure if that was an issue Rich

Sorry loaded but hangs so still a no go Rich

Unless it has changed TransferNX is still not Leopard compatible. It is the only Nikon software that I have not got to run. I logged on to Nikon Support they are aware that is not compatible and sent a pdf on how to drag and drop files from the card reader or camera. That got my going for a few...

I'm waiting on this one to see how it shakes out. I don't have a D300 or D3 and have gotten everything working the way I want, Except TransferNX. When the new Safari comes out I'll update then. Till then I won't rush this one. Rich

There are some jokes to real to be funny like: What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start OR Why didn't the shark eat the lawyer that fell overboard? Professional curtisity But if I need one I'll call one. Rich

Thats a keeper especially the cold beer part. For that I'd go for an ice cold Bud and not go boutique. Rich

Jon, If you are happy with Windows why not sell it and get new Windows toys or more camera stuff? I love my Mac Pro and will not go back but if your happy with MS why putsch with a new system? Rich

Justin, Make sure when you get the chance you don't care about a few stains. They do get messy and a bib is a major No-No 8^) Rich

When I really want a sandwich its a "Ruben". Talk about a hart-attack on bread. Pastrami, Swiss Cheese, Sauerkraut and Russian Dressing on grilled rye, of course it has to be from NY with great Jewish Rye. Another real killer Avocado and bacon with extra mayo, hold the sprouts, on good sour...

It depends what you are going to do with the difference. I got most of the lenses I needed with my D70 so the upgrade to the D200 was not a "this or that". If your happy with your lenses it sounds like the D200 is a temporary stop go for the D300 or get a D80 for the temp camera. For me I'll...

Thats great it sounds like a great machine. Truthfully I'm not even lusting after it though, or not much anyway :wink: The current Mac Pro processors work great for me and I stll have 2 drive bays and enough memory slots to last a while, I was hoping to get 5 years from it. Now if they where...

Bruno, Thanks. That is what I was hoping. For the next cat whatever it will be hopefully they will take the extra time. I know MS was talking about what is now Vista since Win2000 and it is still not what they were really going for. Rich

I love my Mac Pro, I got it on the first day of availability at local stores. It was my first Mac and by then Tiger was a very stable OS so I just plugged everything in, connected my DSL and away I went. I updated to Leopard for TimeMachine and expected the same experience and that...

Rich, I know the feeling. I updated for TimeMachine, other than that I would not have done it. So far none of my Nikon software works as well, Transfer not at all, and Aperture and TimeMachine is flaky. I loved Tiger no issues plug it in it just worked. I paid the Apple premium for that and...

Bruno, Thanks for the tip on Camino. I switched to FireFox as my primary Browser after Safari issues going back before 10.5, I always used Firefox on my Linux machine anyway. Sluggish behavior losing widgets (F12) and F9 functionality when I left the Mac on for days it just got worse under...

Rick, I've been trying to stay away from Parallels. For over 2 years I've not had any thing I needed Windows to do. I really like what I've seen from Qimage but I wanted to stay away from a dual OS system. Rich

Toby. Not sure about the rest but I have a crease on my far head from stuffing match-heads into a gun shell and hitting with a hammer, on the stone my Grandmother removed chickens from their heads for dinner. My 40 lbs Schwinn is still in my parents garage. My chemistry set went out the door...

57 I think. There a few years in the 60's that seemed to be missing in a smoke cloud 8^) First camera a Brownie what else. I still fondly remember developing film in the pantry with my dad, "Richie get the trays and the red light we got work to do" First SLR Canon AE-1 got it on a deployment to...

I I'm going to start to do my own printing and I've read some great things about Qimage. I DON"T want to load Windows so no Bootcamp or Parallels Anybody running Qimage under Wine or any other Windows app's for that matter? Thanks Rich

Import- TransferNX until leopard Cull- Nikon ViewNX Basic conversion and Modification- CaptureNX Organization- Aperture High Level Photo Enhancement- Gimp can't justify CS3 $ Rich

Connie, Aperture gave me absolutely no issues when I did an upgrade but I use referenced files so did not have a huge library to deal with and Aperture and Time machine have given me no problems but I know with others it has. I wish that things could be better defined IF you do X,Y and Z you...

Shaun, I updated for TimeMachine more then anything else and the only thing that gave me fits was Nikon Software. I got View and Capture to work but Transfer still will not load. So it depends on what software you use. Look at your applications and check to see if there are Leopard issues if...

Terry, Thanks for the link. I do most of my editing in Capture NX and organize in Aperture and couldn't justify CS3 $. But for a $100 this looks like it will give me what I'm missing. I especially like the Pano stuff I've been using the software that I got with my Canon G5 which is OK but not...

ViewNX and CaptureNX work fine, after major work to get Capture to install correctly. TransferNX I can't even get to install and I tried all the tricks I used on Capture. This stinks I used Transfer all the time it allows me to preserve my folder and picture naming conventions I've used for 4...

I don't either after all Canon has 3 sizes FF, 1.3 and 1.6. The 1.6 sells the most. I get fits of lust for the D3 but for most of what I shoot DX works better. Most often shooting Macro: 60 mm 2.8 Nikon; DX reach helps especially when their things I don't want to get too close to 150 mm...

I'd love to see a non-DSLR with a 1.5 sensor. I'd love a digital rangefinder Nikon made some great Rangefinders but the Lieca and Epson are way out of my price range for a walk around. The only company that seems to be trying is Sigma and that is not going so well. I like my Canon G5 for a...

James, Thanks. With the costs as they are I might pick up 2 one for my new data drive the other to mirror my time machine drive. I'm starting to get a little paranoid about my pictures. Not that their that good but there are a lot of memories from places I my not get back to for a while if...

When I got my Pro I went basic. Then added an other 2G of RAM and an additional Internal 320 G Internal drive. When I installed Leopard I added a 1TB external Firewire drive that I use for Timemachine only. My system drive has plenty of room I use it for system and applications only. My data...

OK. I updated to Leopard and every thing went well with few issues. CaptureNX and ViewNX worked fine, TransferNX crashed when loading. When I updated CaptureNX I got the new version with the old look problem. So did all the following: Uninstalled all Nikon software repaired permissions cleaned...

Brian, Do you shoot JPG or NEF. Every new generation has given better JPGs. If you shoot JPGs the D50, D80 or D40 will give better JPGs then any you are contemplating. That being said I went with the D70 over the DReble and the D100 when looking at my first DSLR, coming from a Canon AE1...

When I got my D70 the D50 did not exist. When I looked at getting another body for my wife's birthday the D50 was out but she got used to the 2 command dials and size of my D70 so we went for the D70s. I believe the D50 has better out of Camera JPG's. I don't think you can go wrong with any of...

Doug, John Do you use the graduated? I'm looking at one or more for slowing down over all exposure especially water for long exposure as well as separation. I thinking I need both types for the application I'm shooting am I correct? BTW to the OP with the native ISO of the D300 and D3 being...

That gave me a good laugh 8^) Thanks. Great shoot I love the OOF area especially on 1 and 3 it looks like a studio backdrop Thanks Rich

Great Shots! The MBA was one of those places that when I lived in Ca. all my East Coast visitors wanted to see. I never got tired of it. The MBA, a drive down the 17 mile drive and dinner in Carmel. As I sit here with dirty snow and sleet a miss Norther California more and more. 8^( Rich

Randy, Great shoot. Beautiful girl I have 2 of my own just add 15+ years. I lived in Dublin, along the Iron Horse Trail, before moving back east and trying to capture the Heron, Egret, Merganser, Kestrel, King Fisher and other birds along that walk cost me more then a few $ 8^) When that got...

Ed, I know there are other issues but for me IS it Apple or Nikon. I know if I had a D300 or D3 and used a Mac application for RAW files I'd be really mad at Apple for not supporting the NEF yet. But for me Leopard was not a major issue except with Nikon software. Is the issue with Nikon...

I updated mainly for Time Machine I was real bad about Backups. I have about 190 GB of photos over the last 4 years and would hate to lose them. I have a 1 TB drive to back up my 500 GB internal and Leopard made the setup painless. That being said the Nikon software has given me a lot of grief...

John, I finally got it to work following Rich' instructions. What I did different then you is: 1. Not only did I delete the 2 libraries I uninstalled ViewNX as well as CaptureNX, make sure you select clear Cache, then deleted Nikon folder in the Applications folder at that point there should...

Peter, Thanks for the link. There are 2 types of reviews the purely technical and the real world photographer. I enjoy both but put much more wieght on the later. All the real world guys find the D3 an amazing camera. Alass my buying will be vouryouristic for a while my D200 still out...

Did you just upgrade to 10.5? I can't get Transfer to work with Leopard it is not compatible at this time. Rich
