They can be cool to look at, but after a while they get old. That one is nicely done, though.

I too, don't do that, but I like it, at least in that specific case. That guy is a real artist, taking elements that are "real" and creating an image that only existed in his head. I love that when it's well done.

OTOH, there are people that can't take a realistic image to save their lives and then "manipulate" to try to make something out of nothing.

Good luck for that! Considering the price you will get for it; might as well consider having a backup

That's what I've decided to do with my D5000. In fact, it became my girlfriend's camera more then my backup, but that's a different story.

anyone else??

Still downloading...

Just got my hands on an Ipad 2. I've been looking for one for a long time now. I wanted to wait for the 3, but at $387 for the 16gb one, I couldnt refuse.

At first glance, I didnt thought of using it for photography, but i'm wondering; why not?

I saw that Adobe got a couple apps for the Ipad, but from what I can see, its not worth it.

Is there any cool features, photography-wise on the Ipad?

Can he read .NEF files? (Nikon Raw)

Thanks; they state that it reads raw files, but only confirm about Canon's .CR2.

only one way to find out for sure... put a .NEF file on it and see if it shows up.
