The concern was not with DNG files, but rather that the camera manufacturers create proprietary RAW formats which may not be able to be opened way into the future when that format is no longer supported by the manufacturer.

I heard hopes of camera manufacturers adopting the DNG files as an open standard. I have not embraced the DNG so much because the file is much larger than Nikon’s compressed NEFs. It would be nice if adobe came up with a lossless compressed DNG format.

I do sometimes use DNG with DxO. I’ll run an image through DxO and export that to a DNG to be opened by photoshop. For now I still backup the plain NEF files. I am pretty confident that they will remain openable.

Can you guys find the link to Scott’s tip on how to more easily set the white balance on a Canon DSLR? Firing off a shot, wading through the menus, selecting manual white balance, then picking the shot is a major hassle.

This is a little off topic, but you mentioned the 70-200mm so I just thought I mention that I just ordered one, should be here in a couple of days. I use a D70s, so I’ve eagerly listened to your comments about upgrading from a D70s to a D200 from all the way back (remember the tour through your camera bag?) up through now. Anyway, I just decided to get the lens because I just started my freshman year of college and I’m shooting lots of sports for the paper and the yearbook, which I’ve never done before, and I need something faster than anything I have, and you (combined with all the other reviews I read) seemed very positive about it.

Keep up the good work. Oddly enough, this is the only podcast I’ve been able to keep listening to; most of the podcasts I subscribe to eventually lose their appeal and I delete them after several unlistened-to episodes have backed up. Not so with this show.

For hikes, if I had to have just one lens, it would be the 12-24. If I could have two, I would add a macro lens. Mine is the Sigma 105mm f/2.8.

I transported the camera around my neck/shoulder with its strap. The 70-200mm lens was in its Nikon nylon case, in my pack. Any backpack would do. I used a Mountainsmith large fanny pack, meaning it strapped around my waist and the weight was on my lower back. I prefer this type of pack as it does not weigh down my shoulders and provides me full mobility.

I also used trekking poles. Your arms take on a lot of the work and they make hiking a lot easier and much safer over the rugged terrain.

Thanks again.

I’m curious . . . that’s some pretty rugged terrain there, and it looks like it was pretty wet. What kind of camera transport technology did you use for this hike, especially when bringing the 70-200? I think if I did this I would use a belt pack like the ThinkTank stuff.

I’m from the UK and listen to the show at work in Germany on my iPod! Great show again, shame about Canons stance on prosumer RAW output, would make my S3 IS perfect, but I see their point.

A few shows ago you guys talked about service like Flickr, just wondered what your Flickr ID’s were? Could not find them on this site (was only a quick look!) I’ve recently joined Flicker and would be interested in seeing some more of your pics as well.

Keep up the good work.

His humor makes it fun. He totally had me hooked on the “TACK SHARP” paragraph. I was reading his resume…wow! This guy is involved and has his hands in all the pots. He’s the guy to ask, that’s for sure. From iPods to digital cameras, and photoshop is there anything he doesn’t know?

I’m so glad I bought one for my friend because I never would have let her borrow it. I’ve already highlighted and taken notes all over it. It’s a work in progress, I will be using for a long time to come.

Thanks!

I bought not one but two of Scott’s books. One for me, and one for a friend who just bought her first Digital SLR, a Nikon D70. The little kid in me doesn’t want to share. I have them on hold at the Borders. I can’t wait to get it. I know what I will be doing tonight.

As I was listening to the interview, which was very good I might add, I thought this is exactly what I need in a book. Glad to hear you agree Landya.

Michael….the photos are excellent. I feel like I can step right into them. My favorites are, the one in the fragile Zone with the water droplets on the grass, and the large tree near midline of the photo with the large branches. The color is so real, this one looks like I could step into it….In the first Photo I can actually feel movement. How did you do that?

Dang, I like so many of them, picture number two is frameable. I can’t wait to get my new camera. It should be here any day. You even made a gorgeous photo out of the gray tree and background. So clear and crisp. The guy in the fog sitting on the mountain top is excellent too. You made the most out of a wet and foggy day. I see what you mean about having a macro along especially in the Fragile Zone.

I love the banter….keep up the banter. The banter is good! Enough said, that’s my opinion.

I hope you are feeling better Michael and watch out for those hairballs…LOL. Take care guys.

I started Scott Kelby’s new book last night. It is just FABULOUS. This will become a best seller; I have no doubt. It is JUST what folks who want to take the next step in their photography are looking for, and it is very entertaining as well.

You are out on a photo shoot with him in this book. He answers the questions that come up along the way. But, in answering your questions, he does not leave your head spinning with big concepts like “dynamic range” and “hyper focal lengths.” He simply tells you how to take the shot. Then you turn the page and go to the next issue.

Usually when I read a photography book, I have a puzzled and intense look on my face as I try to understand the concept being explained. As I was reading this book last night, I was smiling and, at one point, laughing out loud. My husband could not believe it was a book on photography.

I have read a bizzillion photography books. There are only two books on my “must read” list. This book, which I have yet to finish (but it is THAT good), and Understanding Exposure.

You could have him on your show every other week, and I would not get bored.

I was a little let down to hear that CS3 isn’t coming till Q2 2007 … that’s the only thing holding me back from buying a Mac Pro desktop machine and replacing my dual G5. I have an Intel based MacBookPro and I run CS2 on it, and it runs fine under Rosetta, but certainly not blazing fast and not any faster than my dual G5 desktop :(
