Thank you VERY much for the good wishes Alan! I'm partial to taking black and white Infrared pictures with an old Nikon 5400 I bought on ebay and for which I then bought an IR filter from www.lifepixel.com. Using the online tutorials at Lifepixel, I took the 5400 apart and replaced the IR-cut filter with the IR filter. Now, I can use the 5400's focusing and light meter as normal, (no focus first, then put a filter in front of the lens.) It's these B&W shots that I want to have a perfectly neutral (or as close as possible,) tonality on. I assume there is no posting of images in the threads here, but I hope to have my web site back up shortly if anyone is interested in seeing some of my offerings. All I need is about another 10 hrs in a day and I should be fine! --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, Alan Kearney <alan_kearney@...> wrote: > > I can certainly appreciate your approach to using, not throwing away, > perfectly good equipment:) > I have such a cramped office/editing space that I share with my wife > (and a full sized elliptical trainer) that I'm forced to go minimalist:( > > I recently reformatted my G5 to add and swap around another hard > drive so I haven't re-installed QTR.
