So it looks like my brand new 7D has a dead pixel. whats anoying is that when i import to lightroom it automatically corrects it. for $1500 its not acceptable to me so it looks like ill be sending it back : (

You are going to be hard pressed to find one that has no pixel problems. Shoot a long exposure and you will see a couple red dots more than likely. It happens... think of how many pixels there are.

My old 10d has some dead pixels but it's to be expected after 7 years of use. The canon models with video aren't supposed to have any dead pixels you can see them so much more and its really hard to edit them out so I hear. Plus my friend has a 7d and it has no dead pixels at all. Also it might have been several pixels because it was pretty noticeable. Oh well it's all sorted.

back to photos!

file corruption. ..i'd take a look at your memory card that your using,... or analyse your downloading process from your camera. it's unlikely that the purple lines were generated in post-processing after the files were already digitally stored on your computer.



nice plaid there BZ!

Well its only on RAW images. Shot on a D3100 BTW.

Any critiques?

should i look for a 24-105 f4l IS or the 24-70 f2.8? i love IS but 2.8 has its quality's as well. i really want to do concert photography. what do you all think?

get the 24-70. the wider aperture is more important than the IS, because your shutter speeds need to be fast enough to freeze the performers in their place anyway. you aren't taking photos of statues.

the 24-70 would be a little constraining if you were standing right in front of the stage, so you may consider getting the tamron or sigma 17-50 f/2.8

P.S. Did you use a gradient on the blur for the tilt shift? Looks slightly abrupt to me, but I do love me some tilt shift effect photos.

I'm also not very familiar with tilt shifts, so perhaps you have the ability to control how abrupt the transition is, maybe that was taken with a tilt shift.
