Thank you, no tripod I have a cheap one but im kind of lazy when it comes to bring it sometimes. A good one that actually stay still is on my wish list and some patience to use one too. LOL

sorry for the double post but i have a question...
it dosnt have to deal with photo at all but it is video and i didnt feel like making a whole new thread just for it sooo here it is.
i shot some clips this week end for a video, and i go to upload them for my video camera (HDR-UX10) and when i go to play them they "interlace combing", is there any way to fix this or am i screwed? i convert them from AVCHD to WMV video. they are suppost to be 1080i video but i havnt really noticed that from any videos i have shot, maybe im converting them to the wrong file? thank you !
heres a sample
YouTube Video

Went to go get our Christmas tree today and took the D2X with the 70-200mm along. It was a very gray day, but the D2X was still capable of taking some spectacular pictures. All the white specals and other things many would consider "noise" are actually snowflakes since it was snowing. In actuality, I was shooting at ISO 200 at f/2.8. If it were a brighter day, I probably would have gone to f/5 or f/7. This is the original.

Uncropped:


Cropped:


I'll have a few more pictures later. This one was at the top of the list.

well its been awhile since i posted. This is not a great interesting shot but it has a weird light streak. I swear I don't remember a car driving by, but its the only explanation I have.

neither, handheld, faster film speed, slower aperture, LOTS of practice. I take about 400+ photos per night at the track, and the camera is on burst mode so it takes 3 per second. a lot of pics are junk and get tossed but more often than before i find something decent. similar thing with the vette pic and the autox pic. same settings except for faster aperture to catch things in an instant.

The pooch knocked out cold on the family room floor while my brother blasts yells and screams from Ninja Gaiden II in the background.

To be honest, we believe he sleeps better with noise. It's like people who can only fall asleep with a TV on; the noise sooths them and they just slowly drift away. Oddly, I feel he's the same way.

A picture of the ice/sleet/snow here in Springfield, MO. Thought this was a cool picture so I decided to share it.

There is probably a good 2 to 2 1/2 inches on top of what is in the picture now.

Took apart an old Olympus camera for some Macro-Photography shots. Please tell me what you think of the concept/angle/picture overall. That black box in the center is about the size of your pinky nail.

Cheers,
Kyle.

Nikon's the only one that gets things right, again! We call our lenses "Micro" lenses while the rest call it "Macro." We like to keep things correct and straight forward. (obviously, sarcasm..)

To be honest, and not sarcastic as well, lol, I really don't know the definetion/truth behind "macro" rather than "micro." I've always interpreted it as macro is things your eye is capable of seeing without some sort of large enhancements, while micro needs enhancement. A camera is basically capturing what you're able to see with the naked eye; hence the term macro rather than micro.

I've also heard people say it's called macro rather than micro because macro keeps it in a one to one size ration while micro will have to enlarge it. But, with the days of enlarging and enhancing, I don't find this as much true as other theories.

Cheers,
Kyle.
