In Topic: Framing for a show...

For whatever it's worth, I agree with bvanant. With the photo exhibits I've seen it appears that the 'standard' style is to sign the matte in pencil with numbering for limited editions if you are doing that. But in my opinion, a title seems a bit pretentious for a photograph. To my mind, a title implies that the artist had a statement to make, and created the art to fit it. The genesis of photographs is usually the opposite. I guess I liken titles to nicknames: (if I may borrow from Jim Rome) It's bad form to "self-gloss."

Of course all of this is just my opinion.

In Topic: iPad apps for processing?

Take a look at these two apps. Many of my workmates who use iPads heavily use PhotoGene Pro. It will work with RAW files, has most of the editing options you will likely need, allows for editing of metadata, and can then move the photo via ftp if needed. The other popular app for this purpose is Snapseed.  I hope this helps.

In Topic: Remote shooting in a River

I attached a 2-foot long metal plate to the bottom of the housing and held it down with a pair of ten pound sand bags. I prefocused and set the camera's intervalometer to fire every four seconds. I put the camera into the water where I could see several salmon congregating. Naturally the fish stayed away once the camera was in place. But I tried several locations, and was very patient. Eventually I managed to catch a few frames of salmon. I will try to attach the best three here. Thanks for all the advice, and I hope someone else can learn from my efforts as well.

In Topic: FS: Sea&Sea Focus Gears for Nikkor 105mm 2.8D

I did not know that. I actually bought this gear to use on the Nikon 17-35mm 2.8. It worked, but the fit was snug.

Even if your exposure is just right, after about 15 feet of depth the sun just looks like a bright blob. If you get the exposure right, in shallow water the sun ball can exhibit better definition, with sharper 'rays' radiating out. In deeper water, I usually try to avoid the sun as an element for this reason. Just my humble opinion about the aesthetics, of course.
