@Akula: SmugMug is the real deal. Great people, great company.
@chrispirillo seeing you in drag is scary. I thought that was only for our private moments!!! ;-)
Here’s what leelefever is talking about: http://fotoflot.com/ cool way to hang up pictures on your wall.
@leelefever: SmugMug had those in their offices. Great way to hang images.
New way of fundraising: get @chrispirillo on your video show and get him to do stuff for money.
@chrispirillo sure is entertaining here: http://www.wyldryde.org/a/001205.php
@oemperor: if there’s something that you want to know more, just ask.
That page shows that a wide angle lens is NOT wide angle when used on a non-full frame sensor.
@tychay: you aren’t paying attention. Look at this: http://tinyurl.com/2hp9ua
@tychay you need to read this: http://tinyurl.com/ynwonm
The Nikon PR rep is @jratlee — He’s a new media specialist at MWW and Nikon is a client of theirs.
@mkrigasman that was a mistake due to me playing with a new image editor.
tychay: you’re full of it. A 24 on a D3 is a lot wider than it is on the D80.
@tychay: cause I can’t afford medium format and a rangefinder sucks for other things.
Brad made us all jealous at school because we were forced to share a crapy old Nikon one.
I remember when Brad Mangin, now with Sports Illustrated, bought a 300 F2.8 on his credit cards.
Look at that shot and see the guy to the left? He wouldn’t be there if I was using a non-full-frame sensor camera.
@mkrigsman: absolutely. http://www.flickr.com/photos/scobleizer/2116206193/ this shot wouldn’t be the same.
@mkrigsman yes, I’d still buy the 5D. I love it.
@ahockley is right. Skill matters far more than camera does.
@raena says that Canon vs. Nikon is like Mac vs. PC. True, true!
OK, this is too weird. The Nikon PR firm is following our Twitter discussion. I hope he brings a D3 out to a future photowalking.
You put a 24 mm on my camera and it’s a 24mm. Put it on a D80, for instance, and it becomes something like a 28mm.
@mkrigsman: a full frame sensor keeps your wide angle lenses wide. No 1.6x telephoto.
@tigerbeat: I went to journalism school with that photographer. He’s a great guy. Was one of the first pros to switch to Canons back in …
@mkrigsman: I haven’t played with the D300. I like full-frame sensor cameras, which is why I got the 5D.
@gapingvoid I agree with @rickmurray: glad you’re listening to your doctor. Enjoy the time away from here!
@soulhuntre: a lot of people have been bringing Nikons to photowalks and they really love them.
@soulhuntre: I don’t know which system is best for under $1,500 cameras. Nikon might beat Canon there.
There’s a lot of rumors that Canon is bringing out a new 5D at PMA around Feb. 1, so I’d wait to decide on a DSLR system until then.
@PabloSanchez: I am sorry I missed your messages.
@briancaldwell: if you have a D3 you’ll have me slobbering in jealousy.
@Akula the Nikon D3 shoots images at 6400ISO. Canon only goes to 1600ISO at same quality.
@Akula: with the $2k you could buy a faster lens that only Canon sells.
@Akula: the D3 costs $2k more than the 5D. It works in lower light, though, and takes more frames per second.
@iTony: I see your tweets.
@briancaldwell: if you can afford the D3 Nikon, I’d go with that. But for me I’d take the $2k and buy more lenses.
mkrigsman: I slobber over the Nikon D3. I played with that, but not the D300.
Nikon’s lens mount isn’t as wide so they can’t do the faster lenses.
@macgeekpro: yeah, Canon redesigned its lens mount in the 80s. THat lets them do more fast lenses like the 85 F1.2.
http://terraminds.com/twitter/ is Twitter Search, and very useful.
Hmmm, if I get everyone to unfollow then engagement will go up! Why? Cause then you’ll only see my replies to you. Heheh.
@junyor: Twitter is broken. I think I have too many followers.Sorry.
@mckeay, yeah, it needs access to Flickr to work.
@CathleenRitt: it’s a chat room (innovative) that intermixes with photos from Flickr.
@aruni but I’m still following you. @duncanriley is livestreaming on UStream.
For beta invites to Photophlow, see @neilberkman
@scottstead: you’re agreeing to let Photophlow talk to Flickr.
I’m in the photophlow welcome room http://www.photophlow.com/flickr/group/photophlow_welcome
hey, this is a Twitter message from inside photophlow. http://tinyurl.com/ysum48
