Hi folks, Glad to see that our undergraduates are initiating meaningful projects. I am wondering, in this case, who will be the copyright owner of these photographs: the kids who took the pictures, the group who did the project or SMU? By the way, will the funds raised from exhibiting these...

Dan Margulis provides an indepth discussion on B&W conversion in chapter 7 of Professional Photoshop (5th ed.); the author says in the introduction of this chapter that this is "arguably the most important chapter in the book. Don't skip it even if you think it is irrelevant to the sort of work...

Hi folks, Thanks for the candid comments on Hubstation, I found them to be particularly useful in guiding my purchase. I guess I will exchange my digital set-top box with a Hubstation over the weekend. By the way, the Hubstation will be used primarily to record my girl's favorite programmes...

The issue you brought up is due primarily to the fact that angle of polarization varies continuously with the angle from the sun, and it is exacerbated when wide-angle lenses are used since these lenses cover fairly large angle. For a detailed discussion on using polarizers with wide-angle...

Hi Andreq, If you are interested in how well these lenses perform under controlled environment as well as how EF lenses perform on Full-Frame camera and on APS-C camera, you might want to refer to SLRgear.com. It uses EOS-5D and EOS-20D to test many Canon lenses, including those that you had...

Happy with my collection now; might get extension tubes and other accessories to try out macro-photography. The biggest challenge is to find ways to buy time from my tight schedule.

I posted my opinion on this issue in the other thread a while back: "In the Canon DSLR lineup, 5D was positioned to fill the gap between 20D and 1DMIIN; hence, if there is a replacement for 5D, its price as well as its features should be between that of 40D and 1DMIII. As the current price for...
