Very creative image Transit.

Why do so many listings on TM for DSLRs feature crappy out-of-focus pics? This is a honey -I'm interested because of the lens, but FFS, who can really tell much from this?Really, you're selling a high-end imaging device but that's the best you can do?

I take the counter view.
I want crap ad that attracts no one but me

and only post links to warn dudes off

Q7 02

Have you tried editing your metadata? I know it sounds like fraud to a photographer but it is well intentioned fraud!. They are struggling for numbers this year so you might slip through.

I'll admit to sometimes saying "good enough" when taking photos for my auctions, but this wouldn't make my standards at all. I'll accept "soft focus" but this is just plain "out of focus."

I guess the other thing is if you only have a DSLR and that's it ... I'm finally down to one and my phone doesn't have a camera soo maybe that's a reason

But yeah probably just snap ... ehh looks good enough from the back of the camera/phone - post up and hope all goes well.

I'm trialing this Capture One thingy atm, it can do it I think.
Maybe I can make it a K-1

I use a wee app called exifchanger which is really good for bulk editing exif data - for example putting in lens names on older K, M and A lenses into the exif

I have been really happy with it

Transit · 05-19-2016, 10:57 PM

Sounds good thanks Ross, I'll check it out

Happy news here. My wife's PET scan came back all clear. We scheduled her scan to coincide with the second to last day of a 12 day road trip around the South Island. On Monday last week I had my gallbladder out and Tuesday morning my wife had her appointment with the oncologist to hear the results, so I still had my hospital name tag on when we went to her appointment.
I need a good macro lens to photograph my gallstones

- quite fascinating really, and definitely better not to have them inside me, although I'm still a bit sore.
Several people told me they were out mowing the lawns by the weekend after gallbladder operations. My guess is they must have had ride-on mowers

as I don't really feel up to pushing a mower around yet, although I went for a short walk this evening.
It seemed like we timed out South Island road trip perfectly as the weather was good the whole time and it was even 21 degrees at Mt. Cook when we stopped there, and we drove over a good few alpine passes that have had snow in the last 24 hours.
