comment How do I know the Canon 6d shutter count via software?
@dpollitt I did not mean to offend you, I just read the word 'many' and was surprised by it as I know I'm not alone in changing that setting amongst my photography friends in real life. Additionally because I know a lot of amateur togs (I'm a member of a club) maybe I have a distorted view of what 'many' means. Then I used the wrong word 'most' in my response. Apologies.

comment How do I speed up Apple Aperture?
Crikey - you're complaining about a 1-2 second delay on updating the view? Try a Core2Duo at 2.66Ghz with no dedicated graphics card! Sometimes I feel like I'm waiting 30 seconds or more before it's "ready" ... :-)

comment How do I know the Canon 6d shutter count via software?
I would also dispute this answer as there is a filenaming option on my camera to reset the number every time the CF card is formatted. Which I do after I've downloaded the images from every shoot! Additionally are you sure most DSLR users never take over 9,999 shots?! I am only an amateur and I've taken tens of thousands of photos over the years!

comment Is it possible to take HDR-photos straight out of camera?
I think what you are describing - "bring forth the "details" of the underexposed and overexposed parts of a scene" - is exactly what HDR does. You don't need to tone map it to make a crazy over saturated cartoony photo, but you would need to combine the multiple exposures. Either your camera can do natural looking HDR's (ref your manual), or you do it later in post.

Read your camera's manual...

comment What happens to a lens when you turn the focus ring during AF mode?
@MichaelClark your comment that all Canon lenses designated USM may be manually focussed at any time is incorrect (maybe you covered this with "As a general rule" ;) But there are two types of USM - Ring type USM and Micro USM. Ring type USM lenses may be manually focussed at any time. Micro USM lenses should not be - they still have a gear train which can be damaged if you turn the focus ring while it is engaged. Unfortunately Canon won't directly tell you what lenses use what type of USM so you'll have to look it up in the specs.

comment When should I turn off image stabilization?
@RafalZiolkowski - I had the EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS USM for a couple of years and never had any issues with the IS on mine!!

comment What blogs should I be following if I am learning photography?
Honest answer: If you want to be a better photographer, don't follow blogs. Get out and take photos.

comment How can I check for damage to my lens from impact with a window?
This is nothing! I recently dropped my camera with the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM (A great big hunk of glass) out of a bus onto solid concrete!!! There is a slight dent on the bottom of the front of the lens where the hood fits on but otherwise somehow it is unscathed! AF drive, glass, everything! Don't ask me how.... ?! Images taken still look good :)
