I'd add that before you get started on your big project you really should do several similar but shorter projects first. I'm talking 2-5 minute pieces in the same style you are shooting for - and...

The problem I've had with post-sharpening is that there seems to be a very low limit on what you can apply before the grid of the noise signature becomes visible. What are you guys using for...

For something like green grass you might not want to use a vignette. If there's nothing else that's green in the shot you can just use the hue, saturation and luminance 'rainbow' controls (forget...

Well, issues of noise aside, the primary advantage to setting ISO manually vs. auto is that it prevents the camera from changing exposure mid shot.

In terms of noise, yes you can minimize the...

I've had the Hoodloupe for a while but find I just don't use it that much, it just doesn't work as well as I expected - I find in general I prefer using the LCD alone.

I think it's short sighted to look at the iPad at this point and dismiss it as a professional tool - it's all going to depend on the apps that are developed for it.
