Re: Canon and the Nikon D3s
I usually will shoot 3-6000 images at an MMA event. At our last grappling event, between me and my wife we shot 8500 photos for the whole day? Lots of memory. I am not really spray and pray. But you do need to take many many photos to get one killer shot. Especially when something can happen so fast. Sometimes 9frames a… -
FS (Canada) Canon 50D with BG-E2 battery grip
WITHDRAWN After much deliberation, I have decided to part with my 'like new' 50D camera and BG-E2 battery grip. I purchased this new in March of this year when I was sending my original 1D MkIII into Canon for the AF recall. Although I use it occasionally, I do so primarily because I own it and feel I should use it. My… -

Two Beauties To Drool Over
This one just screams out that it's a man's car, doesn't it? It's a 1929 Ruxton Model C. The guy who built it, William Muller, stated that he wanted to create a " supercharged roadster for fellows....who wanted a fast road car ". Ruxton only built 289 cars in total, but this one is truly unique: it's a one-of-a-kind… -
Re: Light Stand for 580EX and umbrella
The ST-E2 will let you use your flash in basically the same way you use it on camera. All auto-magically. It is an expensive little bugger at 180-ish street price, but nothing else gives you the e-TTL capability that it does. Plus it's closest competitor is the Pocket Wizard set at 165-ish a piece,but you'll need two. The… -
Re: Canon STE2 Transmitter - My Thoughts
Got it for a great price just after Christmas ($165 new on Amazon), love it, and use it all the time with my 420ex. Until I get a second flash that has a manual mode, the STE2 was the easiest and most cost-effective way to get my flash off the camera. And I admit it: I LIKE the results ETTL gives me and, while I want a… -
Re: Shootout '07: Glacier National Park--info/lodging/signup
Dave, thanks for the weather info. I used Expedia Trip Planner for the route planning. The time difference is minimal, as is the gas difference. I will miss much of Rte. 89, which looks to be quite scenic - but also might be a slower drive if I do all of 89. After 3 days in a rental car, I'll just want to get there pronto… -
Re: SB-910 Frustrations
Below is some quick info on battery use for the 910. I don't know if any of that will help on the flash issues. I can't help you on the ISO problem. I shot a lot of events in low light and don't have very many issue using good glass. Note that the recycling time is faster with Ni-MH battery. Recycling Time… -
Mini-Challenge #165 Winners Announced
Okay, let me first say thank you to everyone who entered. I had no idea there would be so many! But please don't think I'm complaining, it has been an enjoyable privilege to look over so many great images. I am grateful for the opportunity. There were a couple of images that did not quite fit within the parameters of… -
Re: Tivo takes a swing at Smugmug?
:soapbox The government is like the private sector, except without being pulled toward efficiency by the profitmotive, nor driven towards it by fear of punishment for incompetence, asininity, or carelessness. As far as I can tell, most of them are accountable to no one, except their union. I don't think the union exerts…
