What's the best photo editing program??

[Little_PB_Newb]

depends on what you're editing. Lightroom 3 usually does it for me, but sometimes for more intense editing I use photoshop CS5.

Mainly paintball photography and random family stuff

[Little_PB_Newb]

lightroom 3 should work for you

[b_ron]

LR3 for errthang.. unless i have to edit one picture, then it goes to CS5

Photoshop/Bridge for everything. Camera RAW is a great tool, even for multi-photo editing.

[pbjunkiee]

photoshop and bridge for me too, and photo mechanic when needed.

Does anyone know if using old pentax screw mount lenses on Nikon bodies with an adapter cause any problems?

I'm gonna sound like an idiot when I say this, because it's probably been asked 100 times, but....

Getting shot in the lens. Do lenses usually hold up ok? Would you reccomend a. Filter, or no filter while shooting paintball

[IplayforRelentless]

The filter/no filter thing is as big of a debate as the Nikon vs. Canon debate. It's personal preference. I use a filter all the time on the field and have been shot in the filter and it didn't break. You just have to know the game and really follow it so you can avoid being in a place that's going to get shot at a lot.

Filter distorts your IQ, the cheap ones more than the higher end ones. Unless you're willing to drop the cash on a high end UV filter, then go with no filter, your front element is strong enough to take a shot or 2.

Are you being literal with that last statement? And are you saying at a time or in its lifetime.

[Little_PB_Newb]

Front elements are thick, i've never heard of one shattering from a paint hit, I have seen shattered filters from pb hits, though, which could scratch your front element.

Aight I think im just gonna take off the filter when taking pics. Im very new to photography and been using my dads old d100. with a 28-70 2.8 and a 50mm 1.4. But I just bought a brand new canon t2i with a 70-200 f4l. Looking to pick up the 24-70 2.8 and a 50mm 1.8

[Little_PB_Newb]

that's pretty much my setup minus the t2i

[Austeller18]

I got the non IS. Didn't seem necessary. What body do you have?

[Striker9]

If your shooting with a lens hood the only possibility of getting shot in the front of the lens is if the person your pointing your camera at is shooting right at you. If that's the case then your probably doing something wrong.

[IplayforRelentless]

Sometimes you get bounces, but those are pretty rare.

[Little_PB_Newb]

if you're shooting a breakout shot from behind there's a chance, or if someone you're shooting gets bunkered you might get one.

Ahh very true. So how about the camera/lens In general getting shot. Everything usually seems to hold up?
