Thanks Evan for the CS6 tutorials , I was the guy in Yellow T. But .. paiseh ..haven't got time to take a look at it. Will check them out probably in the train, while going to work. The tutorial topics looks useful and should be applicable to GIMP too.

I've got a few Gigs of photography e-magazines some from 2 years back, which will surely help inspire the readers. Will try to bring it along for any future TT session to share as well.

When I can't take Nex out, I rely on the mobile phone Exmor .. . You'd be surprised how many free and easy to use photo apps are available. I'd maybe call it 'social photography' nowdays. Probably some will transfer camera pics to their phones and edit them on the phone before uploading to websites. This probably leads to convergence, as what the Samsung Galaxy camera demonstrates.

Yes, if you shoot RAW, then you will face distortions problem with the selp1650. Yet, there are are now lens profiles for this particular lens to fix these RAW distortions in post processing.

However, jpg distortions are corrected by the camera itself and is a non issue.

There is another issue with focusing at certain apertures, which I haven't heard about the conclusion yet.

Yes it should look pretty much like what you see on the screen. I printed before last year, and found the colors printed on 4R photo paper to be more saturated and darker, but it probably is just this shop's particular characteristic. This surely varies from one shop to another.

Based on wiki Photo_print_sizes , a 4R print only requires 1200 × 1800 px at 300ppi . Nex 6 with 16 megapixels already pump out 4912 x 3264 , so it images would be downsized to suit the print size and it should look finer and of course smaller. how big you plan on printing actually??

Hi, I'm trying to search for a video tutorial on how to clean a camera sensor. I would like to place this on the first page , since most users moving from P&S to Nex tend to freak out when finding dust on their sensors.

Have seen a few and so far I can't finalize the one that works best for NEX users. Some show how to lock up the DSLR mirror and blow, others use swabs. Some blow with the sensor facing up, but I think it's better to face the sensor downwards and blow upwards. etc.. etc..

If you have found any, let me know. Thanks.

Hmm.. how many here would like to have a cycling photo session?? I think it's possible to arrange a session with some real cyclists in the community.

Take a break from the usual model, flowers, bugs and landscape. I'm not sure what kind of artsy pics there can be, but I think it's an under explored subject in photography. Heck, maybe can mount some LED's on the wheels for light painting.

nosebleed...

Hmm.. the PowerZoom 18-200, is selling standalone now... awaiting reviews on how it compares on the other 2 18200's.

firmware updates are coming... rumor has it

haha.. tonight's Danbo shot.
