Well, we homeschool, so we wouldn't qualify anyway. Any student in an un-accredited school wouldn't qualify either. :rolleyes:

Do most airlines allow two carry-ons? I'm just trying to figure out how to get my tripod and camera bag onto the plane. I've had my luggage lost before so I'm hesitant to put my tripod in my suitcase since I use it quite a bit. Any suggestions?
 

Yes, most airlines allow two carry-on's. The size of the plane you are flying on can factor in. One can be a small suitcase of designated size and the other is a personal item which can be a camera bag/purse/briefcase/computer case. If your tripod would fit in a case that is small enough and you had a small camera bag you could probably make it work. There's been some debate about what TSA will allow thru security though relating to a tripod.

I have always placed my tripod in my checked bag.
 
We're going to the World in December and I have decided to mail a box down ahead of time to include my tripod. I want to see Spectro and Wishes on arrival day, so can't afford to wait for the Magical Express to deliver my luggage. After all, last trip it was WELL beyond the promised 3 hours before it arrived. If you don't need it your first night out, then putting in a checked bag works well.
 
If your tripod has spikes at the end you might have an issue with TSA. Make sure you screw down the rubber feet to cover the spikes. This seems to be a grey area with TSA in terms of whether they will allow them or not. It could fall under the no club like objects rule.

Good suggestion. I missed having my tripod the first night on my May trip. ME took forever to get the bags to the room. I begrudgingly went to the park without it and used my beanbag as support. Usually we put the bags on ME with us. In May I traveled alone and I just couldn't manage my bags and camera gear.
I love ME, but the bag delivery isn't always speedy. Send it ahead!

Yeah.... we actually SAW our luggage in the big carts out front when we arrived around 5. We left for dinner, confident that it would be in our room when we got back around 9. Nope. Several calls later, and MUCH time on hold..... it finally arrived around 11. I was pretty ticked off since I had an early morning planned the next day and purposely hadn't planned anything big that night so we could make an early night of it.
 
I've been using mostly Capture NX to process all my D200 RAW files for years and it has worked great for me. Since I might be adding a Panny or Canon (also shooting RAW) under my belt, it's time for me to think about getting a package that let me edit and organize all the pictures a little more efficient.

I never use either package. Which one have you experienced or use and which one did you prefer? And why? What are the pro & con on either package? Give me everything you got to convince me. I have both PC and MAC so platform is not an issue for me.

I would like to hear all about it. All your input will be greatly appreciated.
 
I use Lightroom, and upgraded to 3 the day it was available. But I think that I would be pleased as punch with Aperture 3, I hear it is an excellent program as well.

Lightroom 3 rocks. That doesn't mean that Aperture doesn't; it might rock, too. But Lightroom 3 rocks.
 
I have lightroom 1 and will be moving to 3 shortly. I haven't tried apeture, because as far as I know it is only available on Apple.
 
I have to throw my alternative pick in the mix, Bibble Pro. I really liked it in version 4, but version 5 has blown me away! The selective editing and the healing/cloning are great! I have almost no need for a normal image editing program. Give the trial version a try.
 
It doesn't surprise me that the votes are leaning in favor of Lightroom. Aperture is only available for Apple and there is a large percentage of folks who don't have or want an Apple.

I just downloaded the 30 day trial of Aperture 3 twenty five days ago and I am sold. I just ordered the full version.

Lightroom just does more than Aperture. Bibble is also great though.
 
Now that I've vowed to plow ahead into the 21st century, I've downloaded LR3 and am quite intrigued with what it is capable of. I really could stand to take a class, but don't have time in the near future.

I need to start from scratch, with basic concepts about how it works, what to do first, second etc, then what to do with the photos when I'm done.

I know LR3 is new, so I"m guessing no manuals out in stores yet. Would it be just as good to start with something on LR2? Or would that only confuse me (which wouldn't be hard.......)

I'm very excited about this and thanks to anyone who can drag me into something new!
 
I have to ask you if you ended up getting that Student-Teacher verison? I ordered LR3 on the 9th of June and still don't have anything. I hope you don't mind me learning along with you!

I just downloaded the trial version for free with the full expectation of ordering the student version once I try it out. After even just a few minutes of playing around, I can't imagine not following through on it.

Was the student version not a download? Do they actually mail it to you?

You ought to download the free trial in the mean time.
