"RE: D5200 Question"
Same thing that they give on the D3200: the ability to make much bigger prints; the ability to crop more aggressively and maintain net image quality; much larger files that consume memory, storage and processor at a faster rate.They're probably better pixels too, but probably not radically so. It's probably a very near sibling of the D3200 sensor, so the differences are likely not in the sensor but in the rest of the package.

By Ruthi Solari
In January 2009, I attended Food As Medicine in San Francisco, CA. As I was listening to Dr. Jeffrey Bland talk about the health benefits of super foods, it occurred to me that for the majority of Americans, having a diet full of nutrient dense super foods may never be a reality. Millions of Americans have a diet comprised of the types of food we associate with liquor stores, corner markets and food pantries –fast, packaged, cheap, and processed with high amounts of fat, sugar, sodium and other preservatives.
I reflected on my own experience of food drives when I was growing up: reaching to the back of my pantry to pull expired or unwanted items to donate. There was a big disconnect between an expired soup can and the families it was going to feed.
Sitting there in the super food lecture, I wrote down the words "super food drive – a food drive to collect super foods for people in need". My idea was to transform existing emergency food systems (food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens) into providers of nutrient dense foods for individuals and families in need.

D100 printed photos
I am glad I found this board because of all of the knowledgable members.
Having said that I need help... BUT I am a novice, so hopefully all replies will assume that I know nothing
Here is what I need help with.
If I take a nef photo, what are my options for printing them?
When I print through my epson photo printer 785, the photos seem too red.
Is there a way to fix these photos and then print them?
ALSO is there a photo printing service where I can fix the photo and have them professionally printed?
I am using Apple OSX. I also have photoshop
what do I do to fix these photos so I get prints close to the quality of my N80?
Thanks, in advance

This is a big topic!
As a starting point you might like to read Ian Lyons article on getting a decent results with the Epson ink jet printers. If you're opening your NEF files in Photoshop via the Nikon View NEF plug-in then they will be tagged with an appropriate "colour space", so the methods described in the article will work correctly and should help you get more accurate colours.
You might also like to read the article on colour management which will help you get your monitor calibrated and explain how to deal with all the colour management stuff.
#3. "RE: D100 printed photos" | In response to Reply # 0
I have found a photo service that understands the D100. Thompson's Photo in Knoxville, Tennessee. They have an FTP site that you can download to. They will process your images, and mail your photos back to you within 24 hours. Read my thread about the wedding I just shot with my D100, where I had them do the printing. I am getting some incredible LightJet prints from them.

On September 6, 2007, an African Grey parrot named Alex died prematurely at age thirty-one. His last words to his owner, Irene Pepperberg, were "You be good. I love you."
What would normally be a quiet, very private event was, in Alex's case, headline news. Over the thirty years they had worked together, Alex and Irene had become famous—two pioneers who opened an unprecedented window into the hidden yet vast world of animal minds. Alex's brain was the size of a shelled walnut, and when Irene and Alex first met, birds were not believed to possess any potential for language, consciousness, or anything remotely comparable to human intelligence. Yet, over the years, Alex proved many things. He could add. He could sound out words. He understood concepts like bigger, smaller, more, fewer, and none. He was capable of thought and intention. Together, Alex and Irene uncovered a startling reality: We live in a world populated by thinking, conscious creatures.
The fame that resulted was extraordinary. Yet there was a side to their relationship that never made the papers. They were emotionally connected to one another. They shared a deep bond far beyond science. Alex missed Irene when she was away. He was jealous when she paid attention to other parrots, or even people. He liked to show her who was boss. He loved to dance. He sometimes became bored by the repetition of his tests, and played jokes on her. Sometimes they sniped at each other. Yet nearly every day, they each said, "I love you."
Alex and Irene stayed together through thick and thin—despite sneers from experts, extraordinary financial sacrifices, and a nomadic existence from one university to another. The story of their thirty-year adventure is equally a landmark of scientific achievement and of an unforgettable human-animal bond.

Skip to comments.Vanity, digital cameras
Posted on 05/19/2011 1:01:38 PM PDT by R. Scott
I'm looking for a digital camera with no delay between shutter click and capture. Most have a 1-2 second delay. My grand daughter is into acrobatics and my daughter wants to take good pictures. Any help is welcome.
Go into the menu and turn off the sound. You'll be surprised how much it cuts back on the shutter lag.
You're going to want something fairly decent for indoor action shots. Definitely go with an SLR.
Get a digital SLR rather than a point and click digital camera. Learn how to use the menu settings and set it for action shots.
There is virtually no lag if the camera is used properly which is different from the old film cameras.
Old file cameras took their picture as soon as the shutter button was depressed with only the servo-mechanical connection lag of 1/100ths of a second. At partial depression of the shutter button, they did a meter reading.
What is slowing your daughter down is that the digital camera focuses and sets its meters at half depression of the button and then she lets off the button and reclicks it when she wants that momentary shot. Have her practice with keeping the button half depressed and finishing the push at the moment she wants to capture the action. The lag will virually dissappear.
Perhaps, as mentioned above, the artificial sound generated to mimic shutter mechanical sounds plays a part, but the issue I suggest is the real crux of her problem.
"no shutter delay" on google turns up some interesting hits (without the 'no' you'll get another set of good hits.)
How much can you spend? An entry level DSLR doesn't cost much more than a point and shoot but will be far more capable.
ping for gymnastics camera
My child recently participated in a track meet; I set my Nikon 5000 to take multiple shots with each push of the shutter button. 3-4 frames per second.
The time between pictures is also controled by the time set by the camera for a post-shot display of the picture taken. Cut that down to its minimum or none and the camera will have little delay between shots.
A DSLR is really the way to go for your application.
Add in a decent lens that will work well indoors and you're going to decide it's not worth the money.
Point and shoot cameras don't auto focus or meter very fast so you're kind of stuck there. Did you try holding the button down on your current camera halfway? Once you do, it finishes focus/meter and then there's very little lag for the shutter. It's just hard to do consistently.
Could be the flash winding up. Wonder if there is a difference when the flash is not used or turned off?
Canon EOS Rebel
(FWIW - I refuse to buy any Canon product because in Texas, Canon discriminated against Texas CHL [concealed handgun license] holders -- and/or against employees who even APPLIED for a CHL -- until the legislature made the CHL database private information not available for snoopers to go pull and publish lists of CHL holders' information.)
Hope you weren't looking for a point and shoot. What you're demanding absolutely necessitates a DSLR, and not the lowest end model from any manufacturer. I normally recomend the Nikon D3000 for those looking to take the plunge into a DSLR, but honestly, no one who is intent on taking action pictures is going to be happy with a $600 camera. That caveat goes double since she's trying to take action shots indoors. It's going to take a good body with good glass to fit that bill.
Sorry man, but those are horrible choices for action photography. Just not enough camera.
"The lag will virually dissappear."
Not enough for action photography. She needs a camera specifically made for action photography.
The newer ones have articulated lcd's and video which is very good. I'd look at Canon first, the Rebel models are cheaper and excellent. I was looking at a Canon 500D myself but decided to wait, had almost all the features of the full dslr series plus video.
The Canon 40D was a really nice model, too, and should be a lot cheaper now, but it doesn't have video or an articulated lcd, does have a large, bright lcd.
The lens you choose is just as important as the camera. If you can afford it, choose one from the L series that has good zoom capabilities and just buy the body.
Nikons are very good, too, just that when I got mine, Canon had a better choice of lenses that were cheaper. But they take great photos in the right hands. Amazon is an authorized Canon dealer, and you can catch them on good price days. Stay away from iffy places. b&h photovideo is reputable. Buying on the internet will save you on sales tax unless you live in a state that collects them, and local camera shops will probably not offer any discounts.
I would suggest getting a decent Canon off Craigslist for $50 - $100, and install CHDK (Canon Hackers Development Kit) on it.
It will give you all the features of a high-end Canon, including shutter without the price.
I use it on a $25 A530 for time-lapse. It works great.
(PS - Canon picture quality is as good as it gets.)
Exactly. For action, I wouldn't go any lower that a Nikon D90, or a Canon EOS 50D.
Don't rely on me. (I'd recommend a Sony DSLR, which is really a Minolta.) I rely on published lab tests for recommendations, never on the guy on the next bar stool.
I agree but it depends on how sophisticated a photographer she is and how willing she is to expand into fast lenses (f-2.8 or better), etc.
For the casual photographer who is trying to get by with a "point and shoot" fixed-focus type camera, these lower end DSLR models are such a leap forward as to be amazing.
I am able to do quite a bit with my D50, though I have not plunked down the $1800 to $2000 to get a good f-2.8 200mm zoom lense necessary for shooting good action shots for evening sports events or indoors.
Check your camera to see if it has a burst mode where it will take several photographs in rapid succession.
If these events are all indoors, she's going to have be concerned with more than just getting a fast enough camera. She needs professional advice getting a fast camera shutter, a fast lens, a fast flash system, and she also needs to do some testing to look at the trade-off between a fast ISO setting and resolution, plus the trade-off between a fast lens and depth of field.
Good cameras but I'm sold on Sony. I can use all the great Minolta lenses back to 1985.
One tip for point and shoot cameras. Most of that lag you are seeing is probably the camera checking and setting focus and aperture. You can preset that by half depressing and holding the button. Then when your daughter is midair, complete the button press. Even a slow digital camera will complete the shot almost instantly.
I have the D90. Using a fast lens in bright sunlight, it is still not fast enough for action photos. Try photographing hummingbirds and you'll see what I mean. Those birds can hear you press the shutter and are gone before the shutter even opens. I have hundreds of pictures of hummingbird butts.
Define little. The hands on difference between a low end DSLR that struggles to do 3 shots a second and a midgrade DSLR that can do 6 is amazing. A point and shoot? It's all marketing. In the real world you might as well measure it in shots per minute once you toss out the poorly metered or focused shots.
And these are consumer grade cameras. If your shots really matter, ie you expect more shots to be usable than not, nothing shy of a $2500 DSLR is going to cut it. If you're actually getting paid for it and you REALLY have to depend on the camera to deliver, $5k and up. Action photography is more challenging than non-photographers can imagine, and folks get in over their heads easily with cheap equipment and just give up. It's the number 1 hobby killer for photography.
I have a Sony 12+ mega-pixel DSLR that does a 7 second burst of pictures with almost no delay. Go on dealnews.com every day and scroll down to the camera section. You'll find a lot of great deals there.
When I need to take action shots, I use the video on the camera, then use Picasa to view it. There is a "take snapshot" button you can use to grab pics from the video. I mostly use video now rather than try to get the timing and focus right quickly. With video, it is already focused.
I will agree that a proper DSLR is the answer, but the issue of how to properly use the shutter button on any digital camera is still something to master.
Getting a more sophisticated camera is only the answer if the cost, complexity and the user willingness to learn is factored in.
I have some variety of point and shoot digitals, but when I am serious I drag out my Nikon D90 and one of the its lens suited to the task. A Nikon D3100 with the kit zoom lens will set them back about $600.00 and a D5100 about $900.
But there are people that just find the tool too complex and if they learn the proper tricks to best use the tool that they are already comfortable with that often solves the problem.
...is for all practical purposes an SLR. What you see on the screen is exactly what the picture is going to look like.
It's rough shooting action at night or indoors. I have a good f-1.8 prime but being a prime, it's not great for action.
I had the opportunity to use a real action camera recently, the Nikon D3s. Even the difference between the s model (made for action) and my D3 is amazing. I'm really of the opinion that indoor action is at minimum pushing thousand dollar mark.
Listen to what they're saying about indoor shots. You need a very fast lens to stop action. I have a lens with f2.8 and can use it indoors with no flash, available lighting, kids playing, older people dancing. it's a 24-70 2.8L with no IS. You can always use the popup flash but then there are other problems. I have one that slides in the flash shoe on top; to use those you have to plan ahead, can't just grab a shot. Even better is a bracket that elevates your flash. You will see professionals using them at weddings, and they use a lot more expensive cameras called full frame, not for beginners.
It took me awhile to learn all this, and I know you won't know what a lot of this "camera talk" means. I won a prize on the pelican shot.
"Even a slow digital camera will complete the shot almost instantly."
No. There are huge differences among cameras. You can turn off the autofocus and the autoexposure and the camera shutter lag will still be the limiting factor. Action photographers require cameras designed with exceptionally fast circuitry. This is why sports photographers don't take pictures with a cheap point-and-shoot camera. You have to have the right tool for the job.
You're probably right. I have a D3, and I don't consider it to be a true action camera. I've used (but not owned) a couple of really good mission specific action oriented cameras, and if you're shooting hummingbirds you're just about guaranteed to need one.
Btw, maybe you should just go avant guarde and rent some gallery space for a one man show of hummingbird butts. You might get rich over night.
It is for no purposes a DSLR or comparable in any way.
I agree that artificial shutter sounds are killers to bird shots.
Fast focus can help and a Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR ($520) has faster focus for action shots and will be a telephoto equivelant to a 450mm on a 35 mm camera. Many women will find a long telephoto on a 35mm all too heavy and cumbersome if they didn't grow up shooting a 35mm — I know my wife (super intelligent — but little time or patience for electronics) doesn't care for my Nikon even though she used an old Canon back in the film days.
I second the CHDK Idea, but you have to get a Cannon camera that is at least Digic II and is supported (they have a list of supported cameras and working options for each). The 520 is decent enough, but all of the DSLRs are much better. To each their own I guess, but at least CHDK and a cheap camera won't break the bank. I've gotten plenty of good action shots on a lesser model Cannon point and shoot camera (mostly by anticipating, timing and some luck) - I've also missed a lot of them as well.
List for the low end cameras. Most of these are in the 300 to 500 msec range. That's pretty slow. Lots of differences even for a given brand. You have to shop by model.
You won the prize for the wrong photo. The bird is nice, but the dancers is a much better shot. I'm digging the nice bokeh. It really makes your subjects stand out.
Another vote for a non-cheap DSLR. Nikon DX40 serves me well, no noticeable lag. Point-and-shoot pocket camera won't cut it.
So you can tell the difference between a photo shot with a DSLR and point-and-shoot?
Other than be reading the metadata, I mean?
I looked long and hard at them all, took me a year and a half to take the plunge. I almost went with Minolta, and was impressed with Sony, but one model that year had serious problems.
In the end, I was torn between Canon and Nikon, and went Canon. I have a pro friend who used a Fuji dslr which Nikon lenses will fit on. Jaw dropping shots. Fuji's are known for great color and skin tones.
They all have their strengths and weaknesses. The pros I've watched shoot with Canon full frame.
The Canon Rebel EOS line. I have one. That's why the ads show them shooting a tennis player in action. In sports mode, if you hold the shutter button it takes bursts of snaps at three per second. The first one is almost immediate. Be careful: you have to buy memory separately. For about $30 bucks I got a memory card that can hold about 2000 medium resolution (2MByte) exposures.
I think (but I am not sure) that you really do need an SLR to get a fast camera, otherwise it has to recover from the charge left in the sensor array from the display image.
BTW, the Cannon EOS line (and I got the bottom of the line) has really good color depth, wonderful lenses and all round good optics and performance. I took pictures of jack-o-lanterns on Halloween and you could see more background detail in pictures than with the naked eye. It works fine in auto mode, but the advanced modes allow to do a lot more by trading exposure time for depth of field, that sort of thing. It also allows access to the raw pixels if you want to do things like integrating (piling up) successive exposures or fancy signal processing. (Otherwise it saves the pictures as JPEGS which are highly compressed.)
A really fine instrument.
As a father of 3 competitive gymnasts I have had the same problems. What I found was the Sony Cyber-shot is an excellent camera for this type of photography. I have the DSC-HX1 and for the last two seasons have been getting some fantastic still shots. It also will take HD video which is so good that I've been able to pull stills from the video feed. It has a sports setting that allows for ease of use, or you can actually set the exposure, aperture, and shutter speed for the more adept camera user.
The best part is that I can set it for different high speed shot settings. It has a mechanical shutter so there is no delay and I can set it to take as much as 10 shots per second. I've found that a 3 shot per second burst is just right for gymnastics though.
Hope this is helpful.
You'll notice the lag if you step up. Your camera has around 100ms shutter lag. Better than a point and shoot, but it's there. Mine has about 37ms shutter lag, and you'll never notice it unless you use a camera that has about half of that, and they exist. I did, and now I kinda hate my camera. Well not really, but it was humbling.
Hope you can chime back in and give us some more specifics as we are now down to bickering about what one factor is the most important when its obvious the we need some direction as to whether a tool change or technique change is the item she should try first.
Many issues make up how action shots are captured. From the comments you can see that electronic generation of the "click sound" is a factor, the camera focusing and setting exposure is an issue that impacts ten fold if the shutter isn't kept partially depressed and even when it it the digital cameras all take signifigant fractions of a second to actaully open the shutter.
To top all that off, a bright gym for gymnastics is still indoor and at a distance and in a setting where flash won't reach and will distract so light gathering and ASA setting for exposure needed to "stop action" is a major factor.
Does she want to spend money for better shots or is she looking to first improve what she has? If the later look at all the shutter usage issues and all the related camera setting (like high ASA) for fastest shutter settings her camera will accomplish.

Hi Terry,
Thanks for the welcome!
One point I have to differ with you on. The word Religion comes from the Latin for "re-connecting". Religion need not be theistic as many Zoroastrians have believed for millenia. There is a fast-growing community, of which I am one, who believe in am atheist religion. The Synthesist Movement is strongest in Scandinavia and believes that man has a need for religion without the god part.
Thanks for the welcome, good to be here.
Thanks for such a warm welcome i hope to be an active member
All the best stephen

The Origin of the Winner's Curse: A Laboratory Study
The Winner's Curse (WC) is a robust and persistent deviation from theoretical predictions established in experimental economics and claimed to exist in field environments. Recent attempts to reconcile such deviation include "cursed equilibrium" and level-k reasoning. We design and implement a simplified version of the Acquiring-a-Company game that transformed the game to an individual-choice problem that still retains the adverse-selection problem. We further simplified the problem so that simple ordinal reasoning could replace both Bayesian updating and contingent thinking. Our results suggest that the WC reflects bounded rationality in that people have difficulties performing contingent reasoning on future events. (JEL D81, D82)

I have three places that I want a list of a set of particular pages to show up.
1) Footer widget
2) Widget that appears on specific pages (via one sidebar) and
3) Widget that appears on all other pages (via another sidebar).
1 and 3 are both to be titled "What We Do" and 2 titled "What Else We Do" as something extra appears above it on those pages.
But whenever I change the title of the Custom Menu widget, it changes all three on the site (not in the dashboard though). I've even created the same menu three times, one for each widget, so menus called "Footer Widget", "Sidebar 1" and "Sidebar 2" so even though they all have the same pages in them, WP should treat them as separate menus. Then in the Custom Menu widget settings for each sidebar I select the relevant menu, so all three are technically different. But they all insist on having the same title, and I can't work out why. If I change one to "What else we do" they all change.
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong? Or is it just not possible to use the custom menu widget three times?

Dickens, Charles
His novels are notable for their satirical humour and treatment of contemporary social problems, including the plight of the urban poor and the corruption and inefficiency of the legal system. Memorable characters such as Scrooge and Mr Micawber contributed to his work's popular appeal. Some of his most famous novels are Oliver Twist (1837-8), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-9), A Christmas Carol (1843), David Copperfield (1850), Bleak House (1852-3), and Great Expectations (1860-1)

Balcony collapse housing provider fined £50,000 after taking 'prolonged gamble with tenants' safety'
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Health, Legal
Balcony collapse housing provider fined �50,000 after taking �prolonged gamble with tenants� safety�Image: Gavel via Shutterstock
Blackpool Borough Council's housing ALMO has been fined £50,000 for the collapse of a balcony at a block of flats.
Blackpool Coastal Housing (BCH) was found guilty of failing to carry out repair work on properties on Newby Place and Clifton Street.
Preston Crown Court heard that the walkway's 2012 collapse forced one man to jump "to save his life" while tenants living on the building's second floor had to be rescued by the fire brigade.
Some of the block's residents had reported that the walkway was dangerous back in 20005.
Judge Stuart Baker condemned the situation at the block, saying it was "an accident waiting to happen" and it was "remarkable and fortunate" no one was killed or seriously injured.
Tenant Andrew Bleasdale had just returned home on the day of the collapse, 12 May 2012.
He told the court that he had turned the key in his door when the balcony way.
Mr Bleasdale leapt into flat, said prosecutor Sophie Cartwright, before turning to see that the walkway he had been stood on moments before had disappeared.
Mr Bleasdale said: "I made complaints about the condition of the balcony several times before the collapse as it was leaning to the extent that I felt the need to walk near the wall because of the slope.
"When the balcony gave way under my feet, a gas pipe also ruptured and I could see the gas escaping. I waited in my flat and I was later rescued by the emergency services."
BCH was given expert advice on the condition of the walkway from various sources between 2007 and 2012.
Defending, Kevin McLoughlin said BCH was "mortified, dismayed and angered by the turn of events". He added that it accepted it had made mistakes and one person had been dismissed and another resigned over the incident.
Michael Mullen, an inspector with the Health and Safety Executive, said: "It's breath-taking that Blackpool Coastal Housing was prepared to take a prolonged gamble with the safety of its tenants at three blocks of flats.
"It is almost as if the company felt it could wipe the slate clean when it took over responsibility for managing the flats from the council in 2007, and pretend none of the problems with the properties existed."
BCH was set up by the council in 2007 to manage its 5,500 homes.

Sangakkara's ton helps Lanka give a strong reply to Pak in Galle TestSubmitted by Sukhdeep Grewal on Fri, 08/08/2014 - 23:44
Galle, Aug. 8 : Replying to Pakistan's mammoth first innings total of 451 all out, Sri Lanka replied strongly, losing only two wickets for 252 runs.

Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene remained unbeaten on their individual scores of 102 and 55 respectively. Both have been former captains for Sri Lanka.

However, Bell says that the hype around the issue does not befit a series that "has been played in a good spirit".

"I was really disappointed in the manner I got out. I was concentrating really well at that point of time. I thought it was a loose delivery and played it, but the shot was a miscued one.

Buttler wants to draw inspiration from Prior on Test debut for EnglandSubmitted by Narinder Hans on Sat, 07/26/2014 - 15:35
London, July 26 - England's Test debutant Jos Buttler wants to draw inspiration from Matt Prior to become one of the best wicketkeeper-batsmen in the world.
The English county cricket club Lancashire player, who will make his Test debut against India on Sunday at Hampshire's Rose Bowl, said that it is an incentive that with the right work ethic, he feels he has the talent to develop into that and knows that it is obtainable from Prior's example.
Buttler comes in for the third Test after Prior stood down from England duty because of injury and the Lancashire player has appeared in 33 ODIs and 36 Twenty20s for England, The BBC reported.

awww there all just so cute. but you need to redraw this with john hurt and peter cadpaldi. also the 5th doctor looks a wee bit to mean. he was a pacifist and the way you made his eyebrows makes him look a bit angry. also i think you made the 11th doctors hair to light. yes he has light hair, but it's not that light. but aside from that this is perfect. the doctors are draw great with each one having it's own charm. now i have seen dozens of all doctors hanging out the tardis pictures but this one is truly unique. p.s. the line i have seen dozens of all doctors hanging out the tardis pictures isn't a critique. i was saying how you took a common concept and made unique. sorry if i was harsh i was just trying to give some feedback. p.s. this is going in my favorites
The Artist thought this was FAIR
16 out of 23 deviants thought this was fair.
This picture IS absolutely adorable and I definitely think that you did an amazing job, but there are a few tiny flaws. The 5th Doctor looks a little evil with his eyebrows and all and the 11th Doctor's hair is a little too light (Plus, it would have been a little cuter if you added a fez)! I think this is fantastic, though! The creativity is beyond beautiful! Not to mention that I love your choice in wallpaper! Please continue with the Doctor Who artwork...it is simply...cute! That's not all, though...NOPE! I am NOT done...I must hug you because I have never seen anything else that is so "Squee" worthy!
The Artist thought this was FAIR

Council spending down 30% - and housing's the biggest loser
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Finance, Local Government
Council spending down 30% - and housing's the biggest loserImage: Money via Shutterstock
Local authority spending in England is estimated to have fallen by just under 30% over the course of this Parliament, with housing the biggest loser in the cuts.
Data from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) shows that local authorities' per capita spending will have fallen by 14.5% in cash terms by 2014-15, when compared to the last financial year of the last Parliament in 2009-10.
When adjusted for inflation this represents a steep drop of 29.1%, a significant reduction in councils' spending power.
The biggest losers in terms of service provision will be housing with a 7.8% reduction in budgeted spending, followed by education with a 7.6% cut.
Other areas seeing significant reductions are culture (-6.3%) and highways and transport (-6.2%).
Rob Whiteman, CIPFA's chief executive, said: "The continued sharp downward trajectory of local authority spending in both cash and real terms shows the significant financial challenge councils have faced over the past few years. Many authorities have managed this reduction well and continue to live within their means, but we are now starting to see some councils face real and immediate financial pressures.
"If we are to prevent the financial failure of vulnerable local authorities, we must recognise that some councils have been hit harder than others and will need more support. But also that there is a real and pressing need for fundamental reform of the financing of local government if we are to see it not just survive but succeed and thrive over the coming years."

Kiss' new album 'Monster' is scary good
Kiss, "Monster" ***1/2
Nearly 40 years after first slapping on the makeup, donning the costumes and changing forever the way a live concert is performed, Kiss can still bring it.
"Monster" is the caped crusaders' 20th studio album, and one that fans of old school '70s classic rock will be just as comfortable with as those who cut their teeth on later material.
It opens with a bang in "Hell or Hallelujah," a fast-paced rocker that could be the band's best concert opener since "I Stole Your Love," way back in 1977 (though they put it in the middle of the set this summer).
Imagine a mashup of "Helter Skelter" and Kiss' 1992 track "Spit," and you've got "Wall of Sound," a dramatic, ground-pounder. "Freak" uses a grungier distorted sound to showcase the band's long-standing philosophy of not caring what anyone else thinks of them. And "Back To The Stone Age" features Eric Singer's pounding drums with a beat reminiscent of the Stones' "Live With Me."
This is guitarist Tommy Thayer's second studio album with Kiss since replacing Ace Frehley in 2003 (and completely stealing his musical identity to the point where the FBI should have been notified). His first outing, 2009's "Sonic Boom" LP, was marred by rampant theft from Frehley's classic solos.
This time, Thayer restrains his most larcenous impulses. These solos won't make anyone forget Eddie Van Halen or Randy Rhoads, but at least most of them are his.
Things bog down somewhat on tracks in the middle of the disc, but finish strong on "Last Chance," propelled by an AC/DC-like "Thunderstruck" chant. This album isn't "Destroyer" or even "Love Gun," but it's still worth having.

Heather Headley, "Only One in the World" **
Heather Headley, who is gearing up to star in "The Bodyguard: A New Musical" in London next month, has one of those soaring voices that reverberates in a theater and smolders on a record.
Then again, so do a lot of R&B singers. What has helped Headley distinguish herself in her recording career has been her material -- well-crafted tunes with smart, mature lyrics that she made her own.
They are largely absent on her fourth album, "Only One in the World." Part of the problem is that Headley decides to take on songs that others have made famous. While she still has an amazing voice with great range, somehow when singing songs like "Home" and "River Deep Mountain High," she sounds more like a really great karaoke singer.
While Headley does have original material (that she also had a hand in writing), most of it isn't as strong or compelling as her R&B hits "I Wish I Wasn't" and "In My Mind." Headley, who has won both a Tony and a Grammy Award, is a wonderful singer who has previously produced wonderful work -- but there's no wonderment here.

Vivian Green, "The Green Room" ***
Longtime fans of singer-songwriter Vivian Green won't be disappointed with her new album "The Green Room" as she returns with a more R&B sound on a record that oozes growth and creativity.
Stepping away from heartbreak ballads such as her 2002 hit single "Emotional Rollercoaster" and the pop sound of her previous album "Beautiful," it seems the Philadelphia-born Green has made a conscious effort to focus on the happier side of love. That's a decision sure to satisfy fans.
This record demonstrates a positive response to critics of her last album. Green shows she's listened to and answered any doubts regarding her ability.

Zedd, "Clarity" ***1/2
German electro-house producer Zedd is out with his debut album "Clarity," a solid full-length starter that showcases his knack for honing danceable tracks to a fine point of perfection.
Zedd was born Anton Zaslavski into a family of musicians, but didn't start catching full fire as a dance music maestro until his efforts were justly rewarded in 2009 with two Beatport remix contest wins. Now, three years later, he stands poised to dominate dance floors.
It shouldn't be a problem. There are some delicious tracks here, from the immediate urgency of "Shave It Up" to "Codec," a full-on foot-stomper with an incessant beat that refuses to give you a moment's rest.
The vocal features on "Clarity" are among the best you'll hear in house this year. Ellie Goulding is excellent on "Fall Into the Sky" and the title track "Clarity," featuring Foxes, is an instant classic. "If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy?" goes the refrain before breaking into a heady swirl of house.
With "Clarity," Zedd just aced his freshman LP test. The album is technically well-managed and the songs pulse with a common sense of longing. For love. For the dance floor. For all of it.
