Great news, Rodolfo. By the way, I really did appreciate your offer to Oshkosh. My hopes are to go someday, but that is up in the air (No pun intended). As I said previously, I will be happy just seeing the great shots that are coming from there.

My pleasure, Colin. Would have been a real treat to make the trip with you, and I really like the thought of taking in the Dayton show on the way there as we planned to do. Maybe next year.

Missed Rodolfo's post on AOPA Philanthropy. Way to go RP!! Super effort!

Nothing special about it, Jim, though I appreciate the thought. Some people can hit up their friends and neighbors for $50 or $100, I just have wealthier friends and neighbors.

Besides, raising large amounts of money is actually easier than raising smaller amounts, for two good reasons. First, you're asking for a relatively smaller percentage of their earnings or assets and less likely to affect their standard of living or any of their needs. And second, most wealthy people are keenly aware of how blessed they are, remember what it's like to struggle in life, and are very much disposed to give and help others already.

It was a cool milestone to reach, and the recognition is nice, but it's the organization that is special, not I. Easier to raise money when it's for a good cause, too. I'm much more excited about the opportunity to begin getting involved in the political side of things at AOPA... any small amount of sanity I can help bring to Washington (both sides of the aisle) will be a source of even greater satisfaction.

I have a question for the group: If you were contacted by an airshow performer regarding a particular image, what, in your mind, would be the right thing to do?

A) Don't ask any questions, just attempt to grease the wheel and cough up a hi-res image in the hopes you can foster a relationship of some kind?
B) Inquire as to what the intended use might be and actually attempt to negotiate if the desire is any level of commercial use?
C) Send off a computer wallpaper-worthy file complete with watermark?
D) Other?

The gentleman who flies the T-33 "Ace Maker" fancies this image...

Did he ask to buy it, or did he ask if he could have it? I'd also start with B.

Personally......I'd give it to him with the agreement to make sure credit is given if used for any purpose.

A week or so ago, we were having a discussion about using ISO in multiples of 160 on Canon cameras.

Found this from Vincent Laforet:

http://blog.vincentlaforet.com/2011/04/29/technicolor-cinestyle-profile-available-for-canon-5dmkii/

In it he states the 160 ISO is native for the DSLR video functions.
Doesn't mention if this transfers across to stills or not.

The ISO @ 160 question came up at ISAP as well andit was kind of odd / amusing that the CPS guys at the back of the room refused to confirm or deny whether or not there was any validity to this notion.

Proprietary? Really Guys? Please...

Jay,

the replies to Vincent's blog post make interesting reading with regards the ISO 160 debate.

Re; the Canon ISO thing. Do you really need to dial in 1/3 stops for ISO? Is there a situation that you encounter where both shutter speed and aperture are so important that the only way to adjust for proper exposure is ISO?
Not try to be a smart *ss, just trying to throw out a reality check. I can't recall ever using 1/3 stop ISOs. I always do full stops (100, 200, 400, 800 etc) but I'm also not a Canon shooter so it's not an issue for me.
Just food for thought....

I often use 1/3rd stops. It's a bit of an "because I can" thing - it's not vital, but it's nice to be able to do it. If I can afford to go a 1/3rd or 2/3rd slower on the ISO for a cleaner image, I'll do it. Doesn't hurt to have them!

+1 Interesting to kick around, but I doubt it makes a hill of beans difference. I would guess Canon didn't comment cuz they didn't have an opinion, or the 160 Bermuda Triangle doesn't exist.

On the 1/3rd stop thing.
I have read that using 1/3rd can generate extra noise/grain in images.
Native and IIRC full stops-1/3 work best.
A native plus a third leads to problems i think particularly with the 1DsMK3.
There is some excellent reading on it. I do remember though that native is the best way to go from a noise point of view at hi ISO's so only use them now.

From what I remember reading on the subject of ISO versus noise on Nikon, it's best to use multiples of base ISO on most consumer bodies. The pro bodies do full proper interpolation, so all ISO values can be used without restriction.

Whilst all the ISO stuff is interesting technically, I think cameras are at a stage now where we can get away with most things up to 1600 - full stops or 1/3rd stops - and come away with a very clean image. At least in situations where ISO is the final concern.

Shooting aviation, we tend to worry about our shutter, then our aperture (is it stopped down so much our sensors are about to be very embarrassed!) and then we start to look at ISO. When shooting interiors, products etc, when the concern is generally aperture, cleanliness, then shutter (hooray for tripods), then this discussion starts to have very real bearings on how we set up shots.

Personally, I've been thrilled with every Canon body I've played with at ISO100 - I think we may be nit-picking a wee bit too much!

On Canon bodies. All of the 1D's use hardware for all ISO stops. All of the Canon prosumer bodies, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, Rebels, 7D, 5D, all of these use software to interpolate the inbetween ISO's, like 320 for instance.

Tim puts it better than I, and it sounds like both Canon and Nikon have made the same choices.

Just food for thought....

Since my 40D, I'm pretty pleased with any ISO below 1600, so I don't bother with the 1/3 stops. But over 1600, I use the 1/3 stops extensively. For instance, I spent most of the winter shooting at ISO4000.

I'm also pretty sure that any gain that might be had from using multiples of native ISO goes away when you get up to around ISO1600.
