The Canon G12 is also now certified as Eye-Fi Connected, meaning it provides access to certain management features of the popular WiFi-capable SD cards in-camera.

Comment on HDR for Real Estate and Architecture by William Genske

Hi Michael,

Fantastic imagery and a wonderful example of exactly what I would like to produce. Thank you for taking the time to post your work along with explanations of issues and your solutions.

I live part-time in Germany and the rest of my time is spent in Southern Spain. There is a great opportunity to satisfy a need for this product (architectural / Interior HDR imagery) in both areas, though Germany is a more stable and efficient place to do business at this time.

I have plenty of experience with interior/architectural photography and my images are appreciated by my clients. I am comfortable with lighting and also with producing bracketed images in order to produce the raw materials for HDR. I have been looking around (for some time) now to locate a resource for learning the post production techniques to get my images to look and feel as yours do.

My question is this: where can I learn the post-production process required for the imagery that you produce? I know that many photographers are reluctant to “give away” their secrets, and understandably, but if there is any help that you could offer in order to point me in the right direction – I would be very grateful. Due to my location, I obviously tend to lean towards online tutorials / classes, and find them most efficient.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Sincerely,

William Genske

Very helpful article. I just bought a Canon G12 (also have a Canon DSLR) as a walking around and time lapse camera and was interested in the HDR function as well, but for the life of me couldn’t find it in the controls. Your article pointed me in the right direction and got me up and running with HDR on the G12. Thanks again!

I am very interested in your training videos and was wondering if I could learn more about your techniques. I’m starting to do more architecture photography and mix in HDR techniques so any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

Very nice.
Is the 60D a full frame camera?
If not how would the picture look with a full frame camera?
You are a master of interior architectural photography, do you ever do any other type of photography?
Thank you for your posts and your information I always look forward to your emails.

Comment on Nikon D7000 HDR by Adam Allegro

Nice writeup. I have been shooting with the D7000 for 4 months or so now and for the most part love it. The exposure bracketing limitations have frustrated me a bit (I usually get by with 3 exposures, tweaking a bit in lightroom before sending to photomatix). I am currently at work until 6AM and plan on trying this out for tomorrow’s sunrise. Thanks for the tips!! I wish Nikon would have included more range… Oh well. I am waiting for the D800 to come out to upgrade to a full frame and hopefully the best camera on the market! Thanks!

Comment on Removing the Blur Filter (AA) from your sensor by Jesus

Hi Michael;

I own a nice D700, which could be much more nice if it were less blurry… you know what I mean, I guess. So the question is… how much did you pay for it? I can’t see any prices on their web.

And BTW… that issue with the glue… is it likely to happen every time they convert a camera, or it was just an accident?

Thanks a lot.

BTW: Nikon should offer this service!

Michael, you’re awesome. It’s refreshing to see that there are people out there who don’t mind helping others. Thanks for the information.

win 7
64 bit

crashes ps 64bit
or else the plugin “crashes”
typically i can open one file, work on it, then save it, then it crashes either ps or the plugin itself.
