omg its an iPhone...

[.blank cd]

Just added an external flash to my inventory. SB600 to be exact. just sucks cause the D40 cant control it wirelessly so i gotta get a cord or a wireless trigger or something like that, or upgrade to a D80 or 300 soon. Anyways, heres a couple test shots. Yes i know theres a smudge on the phone, im not trying to print this or anything. Just testing it out

Anyone know how to battle the striations that come with taking pictures of screens like this?

The First Image was taken with the kit lens at 26mm, the second one is a 100% crop of a pic using the 50mm f/1.8. I dont know if photobucket messed it up or what but the raw image looks a hell of alot sharper on my computer before uploading it to photobucket

[Slowboy]

You must really love your iphone. lol. Im thinkin bout pickin one up. along with the new macbook.

I'll probably buy a 1st gen to jail break. And I was bored last night. Saw a commercial for one so I tried to make it look like that. It's hard gettin the head on shot to expose right cause I only have one flash

You won't be dissappointed with either purchase. First time in the mac world?

get a polarizing filter to knock out the reflections (like for the first shot), and then for the striations - you are shooting with a shutter speed that is way faster than the refresh rate of the screen on the phone. get a tripod and shoot slower, probably significantly.

Ahh so that's what that filter is for. My 52mm polarizer is a piece of shit. Guess I need to go out and get a new one. It makes green and blue splotches when I go wide angle. The nikon one I have for my sigma lens is awesome

As far as flickr goes, i have two accounts and i dont know how to link pictures to pages like attaching a picture here for instance. I dunno..

apple expects you to shell out like a dollar or two for them. its ridic. i make my own, though haven't done it in a while....




1. Make sure your iTunes preferences are set to "Keep iTunes music folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" under the Advanced Preferences tab.

2. Make sure your iTunes import format is set to AAC (you may have this set to MP3). Set this under the Importing section of the iTunes Advanced Preferences tab.

3. Find a song in your collection that you'd like to make a ringtone from. This can be music that you ripped from your own CDs, bought from the iTunes Music Store, downloaded from the internet, or any other music that has made its way into your iTunes library.

4. Ctrl-click on the song title in iTunes and select Get Info, then select the Options tab.

5. Now we're going to make the snippet. If you want the first 30 seconds of the song, click on the "Start Time" box and leave "0:00" as the value. Then click on the "Stop Time" box and put "0:30" there. You don't need to start at the beginning of the song, you can use whatever values you want here to pick the timing of the snippet that you want (just make sure and keep the total time of the snippet to no more than 30 seconds).

6. Click OK to close the Get Info dialog box and Ctrl-click on the song again in iTunes and this time select "Convert Selection to AAC". Once you do that you should get a second version of the song in your iTunes library that is just the 30 second snippet. It's a good idea to rename this file at this time to something that will make it easy to find in your iTunes library, I find it helpful to append the word "ringtone" onto the end of the song name. Now remove the snippet from your iTunes library (so we can re-import it as a ringtone) by Ctrl-clicking on it and selecting Delete, but making sure to choose Keep File and not Move to Trash in the following dialog box.

7. Now quit iTunes and go to the Finder and locate the file, which should be in Home>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music, and rename the .m4a extension to .m4r. (Alternately you could use Rogue Amobea's free MakeiPhoneRingtone at this point and just drag the file onto their helper app).

8. All we have to do now is import the newly named file into iTunes. Just double-click on the file or drag it into the iTunes Ringtones folder and launch iTunes and it should now show up in iTunes' Ringtone section. Plug in your iPhone, let it sync and your new Ringtone will be added to the choices on your iPhone.

Once you're done making ringtones remember to go back and change your Import preference if you normally import your music as MP3s, and you'll also want to go back and change the original songs you used in your iTunes library back to their full length by unchecking that Stop box in the Options section of it's Advanced Preferences.

It sounds like a lot of steps, but it really goes pretty quickly once you get the hang of it. It's fun to pick different sections of songs to use by setting the Start time appropriately. Whether you like the free DIY method or prefer to use one of the available helper applications, it's now easy to get custom ringtones on your iPhone.

^ those are the directions i used. it sounds like a lot of work, but its actually pretty simple.

or or or, noobs, you can just go to audiko.net. alls you do is type in what youre looking for, and when you find it click the link that says "download for iphone" or something like that. It imports the file STRAIGHT into itunes.

sorry for the thread jack...or am i??

[james]

or or or, noobs

based on the link you provided, you sound more noobish than someone that wants to make their own ringtone. :rolleyes:

explain, human.
