If you'll include Lightroom in your workflow, you'll be able to export photos at different sizes, with or without an exif. I highly recomend using it.

Welcome to Shuttertalk! Looking forward for your bird pics!

That's really cool! I would've liked to know who was the photographer that took each one, though. They deserve the credit. :)

For those who want to resize more images at a time, on the run, Fast Image Resizer is a really good tool. Simple, drag and drop functionality, fuss free and light on resources. You can find it if you ...

Great photos, especially the third and the last!

For photography related stuff I use Lightroom 4 about 98% of the time. If you're more into photo manipulation than I am, maybe Photoshop would suit you better. Just get the trial versions, maybe it'll...

I bought a sturdy tripod and a specialized pano head for them and I seldome make thrm anymore. Too kuch boatparties I guess:)) I usually do the Hdr first and then stitch. I save it at max rez, open ...

modern cameras don't have that much grain at ISO 800. some more recent ones even go to 3200 without much quality loss if the light color balance is good (ex. not tungsten).

Hi! There's a learning curve for the workflow. I also tried KR Pano, but I found PTGui's graphical user interface and options to be more suited. I do all my HDR work in Photomatix. That's a great stan...

How did you manage to focus so close?

I also wish your daughter all the best. Family first, everything else can wait. And don't worry, we won't break anything will you'll be away :)

Not my best, but here goes! This is the 75ish year old man that repairs my broken cameras. He's one of the smartest and funniest people I know.

I would recommend Lightroom 4. It's free for the first month, if I remember correctly. It's also worth buying, at about 150$. It's just about the only piece of software you would need to organise, ed...

The escalator photo is stunning. :)

Hi! That Rokinon is actually a rebraded Samyang lens. A real gem. You'll get great results with that combo, and the best part is that you don't need focus confirmation. just set the focus to 1.5 m and...

This is a nice one :) You're good at painting.

Great game! But, I don't think I can post my best one with a cell phone, it's against the forum rules.. :"> so.. that's that.

I have some great shots taken with my cell phone. As Barbara said, it's all about convenience. You don't always have your camera with you.
