This is a common thread on a lot of techie/creative type forums, so I figured we might as well have one here. Your desktop can say a lot about who you are, and I'm curious as to how many of you are using your own photos as wallpaper. So... Show off your desktop! Here's mine:

Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but do New Topics and New Posts have their own RSS feed? I'm customizing my Rainmeter desktop and would like to have those. I see where I can subscribe to RSS feeds in various forums, but not a feed that summarizes all of the new stuff posted.

Today, Nikon Inc. announced the addition of a new flagship speedlight, the powerful and capable SB-910 speedlight. Building on the versatility of Nikon’s Creative Lighting System (CLS), the SB-910 incorporates an enhanced intuitive operating system and graphic user interface (GUI). The SB-910...

"Baby Bump" Camera info: Nikon D300s Manual mode Shot on 11/24/11 1/250 @ f/13 ISO 200 Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 (@ 70mm) Lighting info: Single LumoPro LP160 fired remote via PocketWizards 1/2 power @ 35mm Westcott 43" umbrella (shoot-thru) 10x12 black backdrop

It's rare that I shoot with only 1 light these days, but the effect certainly does have its place once in awhile.

Without seeing any photos, my guess is that if D-Lighting is making that much of a difference, you are shooting high contrast images that are metering incorrectly because of the Auto setting. When using Auto mode, you're always going to get the camera's "best guess" when it comes to metering...

I agree as well. The perspective here is a bit skewed. For a shot like this, it's important to get the angle and height of your camera correct. Anything above and/or below lens height will distort the further away from the lens they get. For the best effect, you might have needed to be...

And yes, I'm serious:

Set your ISO @ 200. Set your Aperture @ f/8. Put your camera on a tripod and press the button. Easy as lyin'. You'll undoubtedly have to fiddle with things to get a proper exposure (and it will be a long one, probably a second or two). But just because your flash sync speed is 1/250 doesn't...

Or, to put it another way....

This pic. If you don't know the difference, odds are you're not editing in 16-bit anyway...so nevermind. 8-bit is capable of producing about 16.8 million colors, which is more than the human eye can see anyway. 16-bit is in the trillions. Some photographers (including myself) edit in...
