After three episodes I'm still enjoying the show. Like all cable channels, they tend to re-run the same episodes too much though.

I get a kick out of this response. I hear it from many people that don't understand the other advantages for keeping and using the RAW file. Although it is easier to adjust exposure and color, it...

Color Problem

I know there is probably an easy answer to this, but I'm not seeing it. Since upgrading to PS CS5, it seems the colors in my images become very saturated after uploading to RP.Net. They look fine...

Carl,

I had the 40D set up with the 70-200mm to get a close-up on the bridge with the trees for a background for the smoke. I had the 50D set up with the 24-70mm and got a wider view of the...

I like the image as well, but what kills it for me is the noise in the sky. It is very distracting, especially when viewed on a wide monitor. A good noise reduction program would have done wonders...

Lol! I'm not quite to that point yet.

A vacation is probably the solution. Maybe you'll see me out in Colorado or Montana this fall.

I have both the 40D and the 50D. Both are fine cameras, but I would recommend the 50D for several reasons:
