Thanks for the reply! How much GPU acceleration does Premiere use these days? The last time I built a PC was about 6 years ago, and I didn't even bother putting in a GPU until a few months down the line as GPU acceleration in Adobe products was so limited at the time. If I'm not doing any...

Hi folks, Looking for some insight into whether or not the pre-built machine I have picked out will be good for my needs, and whether it's being offered at a good price. I'm in need of a new work computer to replace my 10 year old tower which I inherited from the person who previously held my...

My first attempt at doing star trails. Still experimenting with it in Photoshop to see what I can do with it.

During the winter here it regularly drops to below -40 and although the battery does drain faster and the lenses/display fog up when you get back inside the house, there's no problem. Don't baby your cameras, they're built to handle the elements. Besides, if you just sit there afraid to go...

Hi all, I'd like to start this post with a little apology; I haven't been able to hang around the forum too much these past few months. School's simply gotten busier as work piles up, and in the spare time that I do have I've been taking shifts part time at the local Tim Hortons. Anyways...

Generally the only difference is that grey market lenses are imported by a non-official importer. The lenses are exactly the same for the most part, just make sure that it is indeed covered by a warranty. Here in Canada we don't have international warranties for Nikon lenses, if you go to the...

For a mobo, I like the Z87 Plus, or the ASRock Extreme 4 is always a safe choice. I wouldn't skimp too much on your motherboard; you'll want something that offers a variety of connectivity options, especially something that's future-proof as the market's constantly changing its standards. The...

Thanks! I used the 300 f4 AF-D, but they're both slightly cropped. If I remember correctly the comet was no more than a few degrees in the sky, and from Winnipeg it was quite difficult to spot with the naked eye. You needed a decent pair of binoculars to get a decent view. The camera itself...

Here's a couple of shots I forgot to post of Comet Pan-STARRS from April...

He never said anything about video editing, and for nothing more than Photoshop use, 16GB is plenty. I use my build primarily for PS (with some light video work), and I've never run into any problems with 16GB. As long as you have 64 bit software to go along with it, but even then my old...

Wow... breathtaking shot!

Nice shot! What kind of processing did you do on that?

I'm not too much of an expert when it comes to monitors, however I can tell you that for gaming you'll want to take a look at some of the newer TN monitors with a refresh rate of at least 120hz. Having a fast refresh rate is crucial, and it's something that IPS can't really offer (yet) at a...

Any other entries, or should we go ahead with a poll?

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Funny that you say that, I totally agree with you. I only did some HDR à la request of a friend.

A couple photos from the mountains...

A tablet could do all of that, but forget about word processing. There's really no substitute yet for a proper physical PC keyboard. In regards to Dream aquarium, while you probably wouldn't be able to get the exact program to run (unless you invested in a full Windows 8 tablet, which runs...

Thanks for the help so far, everyone. Does anyone know the difference between sonething like eIPS and regular IPS? Is it true that eIPS isn't true IPS? How much if a difference does it make?

Just stumbled across this thread today, there are some great shots on here! I love that second one from Jason's cemetery set. My shots are cheating a bit, the first one is actually just a tunnel at Cape Spear, a very touristy seaside destination. It has a bit of a spooky vibe to it, though...

Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've posted here, mainly because I've been busy with school, but now that I'm done until autumn I'm looking to spend a bit more time here. Anyways, I'm looking to replace my aging (7 years old?) 17" Dell LCD monitor in favour of something newer...
