it surpises me how many people don’t look at filter programs at all (I use nik efex pro a bit too I love the IR bnw) and use only actions….

sorting is taking me forever thanks for the photomechanic tip, it may help me sort and back up quicker it’s worth it

and since I upgraded to the d3 I don’t shoot raw anymore I’m getting straight out of the camera right on over and over and over and I LOVE the speed that allows me.. but I tend to shoot right on exposure all the time, even sometimes when I’m trying not too :)

cool site

Sean, i’ve got a technical question about your LR galeries, because i’m using it with a mac too… I’ve got just an embarrassing issue. When i create a galery in flash, thz picture appears lighter than original.. I found that it was because the pictures are saved in sRGB profile. I’ve got the same problem when i upload exported pictures on communities like Facebook for example. An screen of the issue here : http://photographil.net/mjr.jpg The solution i found is to convert the picture on my screen profile, made with an Xrite. Do you had the same issue or never ? I can’t find how to export my galeries without this profile problem…. Thanx a lot for your feedback about it… phiL Oh sorry i put my comment in the wrong post…..

Seeing how sometimes a 50 could put you in trouble from a focusing distance in a closed space, you'd need a quick change to a 35 sometimes. Just curious about how you handle your gear. As always, your stuff is incredible man. Do you arm both your 5D’s with the 50 and 35 and have them on hand to switch between them?

Compared to the 24 the 35 is more versatile, sharper and cleaner. I don't find it to be too tight for portraits at all, I have found I love it for portraits, it's great for singles and groups of people. I can praise that 35 all day long the same way matt can pump up the 16-35, which is an incredible lens too. The thing is to find what works best for you and do that. Maybe for you the 24 is the ticket, and if so stick with it if it's working. On the other hand I've really limited myself by going to the 35 or 50 all the time, I could play more with the 85 or 135 but I'm too comfortable in the middle distance space that I'm so accustomed to. Cheers, SF Calvin,

I know you shoot with a 24/1.4, and I am curious what your thoughts are compare to the 35? Do you feel its a bit too "close" or tight when shooting people?

Not sure it was a lovely read but it's how I do things. matt, i don't recommend anyone shoot JPG. I do it only for saving time and I like the files straight from the cam. As long as your exposure and WB are on point there isn't much to worry about. I think for the way you are going, working off the blacks it may do you best to always shoot RAW. Last summer when I was shooting three weddings a weekend and sifting through 11,000 frames from those shoots it all but made sense to not worry about converting the RAWS, just a huge time saver for me. Regarding the 35/1.4, it turns me on enough for the both of us. I wish I cold rock that 16-35 but every time I shoot it I shoot it @ 16, I thought about maybe taping it at 20mm so I couldn't go wider. Anyhow, cheers, and thanks for the comments. michelle,

Can't argue there. And you make a great case for the 35 1.4. I don't know why but the 35 just doesnt turn me on enough to drop the 16-35. Me and the 16 have history and I could never let go.. It was my first canon lens!' So I'm going to shoot jpgs today and see how it goes.. I feel like a bastard doing so but I am curious.
