You can basically use any camera as long as you have a tripod (though having a camera that can take pictures in RAW format helps a bit). It's all done in software.

As for HDR itself, it is a technique that I personally do not like much since it is often abused and results in images that are waaaaaay too fake looking (you can immediately tell it's an HDR with the settings turned all the way up). It enhances local contrast at the expense of global contrast.

What about mine? I think it's on page 3! :)

Well some how my SD card broke while in the camera... I don't know how this happen. The card was never mistreated in it's 2 years of use. I put about 20k photos on it. I guess it's off to my back up Extreme II :/ It's falling apart and not useable any more.

Anybody wanna give me $35 for a new one? :)

The pins in my 400D for CF card snapped off about 2 months ago. Anyone got ?1k for a 7D? xD

Any damage to the camera?

Can't you just buy a new card off eBay for about $5?

But you can not trust eBay sellers because you could be ripped-off. Sometimes, you get lucky if you got a good item from one of the good sellers. There are some bad sellers on eBay.

Just be careful with the dead/bad items on eBay.

No, but it's slightly harder to pull the card out of the SD slot now... :(

I don't touch eBay for anything.

I've bought hundreds of dollars worth of stuff off eBay and I've never had a problem.

Your loss then. Could've saved $30 :laugh: I've bought all my memory cards off eBay (three CF, two SD) and I'm still using them without any problems!

1.) I'm not going to buy another

2.) I got burned on 2 out of 2 products i've purchased from ebay. 1 was a cell phone battery that didn't work properly. Another the product was never delivered. Neither eBay or PayPal helped me out, so fook eBay. :/

While I'm personally not keen on Norte?o music, I went to this expo to eat (since there is tasty food) and the band was playing. I took the chance to take some photos.

How do you get that grey/brownish look on these two pics or is it just grayscale and sepia?

It's a mix of many things from shadow detail and curve changes to desaturation and highlight recovery - I use Lightroom for all changes. Just a straight sepia/grayscale results in an image that looks too flat and dull.

The two pictures you've quoted are HDR as well.

    • RapidRAW 1.5.7 by Razvan Serea RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU. Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste. A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.

    • Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.
    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
