[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1239023, member: 59143"] Thanks man! Don't buy a book just yet. I'm going to post a bunch of links to some great resources. If you feel those aren't enough, I really love Martin Evening's style. He gets really into detail about stuff, much more so than Scot Kelby IMO. Too bad you don't live near me, I'd loan you mine. Though to be honest, I haven't really even used the book. Most of the onlline tutorials are more than enough to serve as a guide. I'll post those links in a different post. My pleasure. It's all fun for me, so if there's anything else that comes to mind which requires some explanation, I'd be happy to give it a shot. I wish the day would come already when camera's the size of a point and shoot would have DSLR sized sensors. The day IS coming... I'd gladly give up the bulk of a DSLR for a small form factor camera. The closest thing to those right now, are the Leica D-LUX 5 and the Panasonic LX-5. In fact, they're the same exact camera, just different firmware. The Leica costs $300 more because it's got a red dot on it and it's branded Leica .. oh, and because LR 3 comes with it. So if you don't have it and want it, great deal. Otherwise, the Pani is $400. Small sensors but extraordinary image production. I don't count the micro 4/3rds cameras simply because the exchangeable lenses defeat the entire purpose of the small form factor. Ridiculous is what I'd call them. You've got these tiny bodies, nice big sensors but... huge lenses! Ain't no way to pocket those stupid things. So you might as well just get an entry level DSLR at that point. If you want to do a pure Black and white conversion, I generally tend to think that using the actual black and white button is better than lowering the saturation and vibrancy. You get better transitional rendering that way, makes the tones smoother when adjusting the individual BnW color shades. I also use a program called Silver Efex Pro for black and white conversions. While LR does a good job with BnW conversions, there are just some things it can't match up to vs SEP. But this is an whole other story, and that will have to wait a bit. But I do think it's worth the money if you have it to spend. I appreciate everyone's comments, really. Considering the fact that all I really did was tinker! Doug [/QUOTE]
