Not free but inexpensive, pretty intuitive to use and powerful: Vegas Movie Studio (currently on version 14). You can get it in plain vanilla, Platinum, or Suite editions. I recommend Platinum. https://diyvideoeditor.com/vegas-movie-studio-review/ You won't likely outgrow it and there are a ton of

Dan, It is a very nice image in terms of content. Shame it is so troublesome to view. In the brief time allowed, it appears to be somewhat soft and lacking in contrast. However, I completely understand your reason for posting it. J - Original Message - From: "Daniel J. Matyola"

Re: Fwd: Re: Stuck Battery In Pentax Q

The chemistry of old single-use batteries and modern rechargeable batteries is very different. You could, if you wanted to, cut an old battery in half without much happening. That's not true of something like a lithium ion cell (as can easily be seen on youtube), so those tend to be enclosed in

Re: Shooting in tight spaces

When I use my small office at home for a studio I shoot in a space that is about 9' wide, 14' long and 7.5' high. It has white walls, a white ceiling, and a light hardwood floor -- very reflective stuff. But I use strobes and it works just fine. I use gridded softboxes, flags, and the inverse

I would probably go with the 400 for these (personal reasons): 1) the 400 will probably have better IQ since its a prime 2) 4.0 beats 6.7 3) if you really need the reach of 600, then modern sensors with a 2x crop might just be good enough with a prime. 4) A* enough said... On Wed, Jun 7, 2017

It seems odd that one might pay $475 for the Pentax A* 300/4 when a newer quality Sigma AF APO 300/4 can be acquired for $300. Sure, the A* is built like a tank. But I'm not going to war with it. With all the APO optics improvements I would think the A* (but for collectors) would be a lot cheaper?
