Dear Big Kahuna, Many thanks for the link! U have been a great help!

Dear all, I am going to Italy in a few days time. I like to get some input from forumers regarding the use of mobile wifi. Besides the local telco plans and the Citibank promo, are there any cheaper plans over in Italy that you can recommend? I saw some cheap ones online but afraid there are...

Dear forum drivers, I have a dent on the bonnet that needed some knocking/blowing by heat, and repainting of the entire bonnet. Its a 2006 Toyota Corrolla Altis. I have workshop who quoted me SGD 200 plus. I like to ask if its reasonable. If not, whats the reasonable range? If...

Hi, My guess is that the oil blob will not disappear as the coating is already uneven. I guess the coating is optimal for the CPL filter in the first place, so if it started to dry, the CPL filter will have spoilt. You can try to press it even on the glass surface but once you release the...

Hi, Just a thought. In a CPL filter, one should not be able to see any liquid or oil in the in between the 2 glasses cos its costed evenly. If you are able to see blobs of oil, then the oil will have start to dry, hence unable to coat the entire 58 mm glass pieces. One possible reason may be...

Hi lioneldude, Thanks for the kind reply. Will note that. :)

Hi all, I wonder if any forumers here is able to suggest a place eg. hotel lounge or bar that I can watch the race on Monday midnight? I do not have the cable channel at home and I live in redhill-queenstown-tiong bahru area. Thanks in advance. :)

Oh, I saw my friend in #1, Eugene. :) Happy shooting! :)

Hi eosdigital, There is no need to go as low as possible. Because if its too low, the oiled parts in the camera and lens will dry up and if there are leather and rubbery parts, it will harden due to lack of moisture and crack. You only need to go very low if your stuff needs critical RH...

Hi, congrats on getting a new camera... I am no expert here but if you are shooting often, then there is no need for a dry cabinet. At least in the short term. But as you expand your camera gear, there will be some things you will not use often, so ideally a dry box or cabinet will be nice to...

Hi all, My personal pref and opinion is a dry cabinet. I think silica gel in a drybox is good but if storing items too long w/o opening the box may be detrimental to the leather and oiled parts as the former will harden and crack and oiled parts will dry (eg. lens). Normal silica gel in the...

Hi, I have a D60 too. I normally store with lens on sans battery, memory card and strap. Normally leather parts or moisture absorbent material are left out of the dry box/cabinet. Or else it will take longer than usual time to dry out the moisture inside to desired RH levels. And usually, they...

Hi all, I went to the Southern Ridges for my night shoot. Any comments and critique are welcomed. I have a question though. I noticed that processing night HDR using photomatix gives a high level of digital noise in the background. Not sure if any members here able to give some tips on the...

Hi, With photoshop, save the TIFF file as a JPG file will do. Adobe Bridge should be able to see TIFF. My normal Windows viewer can see TIFF. You just need to associate the TIFF format to Windows viewer instead of Infranview. Hope this helps! Cheers,

Hi mrchua, thanks for the comments. I am experimenting with HDR. Hope to exchange some pointers with fellow forum members to improve. :) Thanks!
