Items needed for kenko teleconverter to mount onto Tokina 10-17mm

Teleconverters

21 July 2012 - 02:35 AM

I am trying to find out exactly what these are good for underwater and what lens they work well with?

I have seen info on the tokina 10-17 + kenko 1.4 being good for CFWA, can someone give me an insight as to why this is?

With this changing the focal length to 14-24 does this make it better for shooting sharks a bit further away?

What about using it with a 60mm macro, does this work?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to understand whats good and bad about them

Just got back from my first outing with my D7000 and want to post up some pics to get feedback on how to improve going forward

What would you have done differently and what would you do in Aperture

Processing with Aperture

06 July 2012 - 04:02 AM

I have just returned from my first outing with my D7000 and am about to embark on some post processing in Aperture and wanted to get as many hints and tip as possible to enable the learning curve to be a bit steeper/quicker.

I currently just import my images in using the aperture functionality, they are all organised by date and then moved to folders for trip or other categories.

My latest images are shot with a D7000 and imported as raw files, this is about as far as I have got.

What I want to know is how to proceed from here?

Is there a certain workflow people go through to manipulate their raw files? What processes doe this include?

It seems there are posts that look at using LR and photoshop but not so much for Aperture. (Should I persevere with Aperture?) If there are also some good tutorials on the web that people have used then please point me to them.

Any help would be much appreciated.
