Re: 5DII or 1DIIN for Highschool Basketball?
I'm surprised nobody has yet suggested that you take BOTH cameras with you, with different lenses mounted. The 24-70 f/2.8 will be nice for broad context shots, but unless you're standing practically under the basket it will be useless for close shots of slam-dunks. A 70-200 f/2.8 will complement that nicely. I assume the… -
Southern California Fires
Took these yesterday in the Anaheim Hills area. Originally just going to get some wide shots of the plume over the 91 corridor. Came across this neighborhood where the fire was quickly advancing up the hill. The helicopters were dropping water on houses one street below, it was amazing how low they get in the windy… -
What's up with NEC's Spectraview software?
I just got myself a new NEC Multisync LCD 2090UXi. My now 6 year old version 1 Colorvision Spyder seems to have stopped working, and in any case was, along with EZColor 2.0, probably not up to the task of adequately profiling this superb display (It always seemed just OK on my old CRT, a Mitsubishi DiamondPlus 91). So… -
Not really into portraits........
...... but I shot a few 'by accident' this weekend and wanted to share some 'people shots' with you. Comments welcome :) : This gentleman is 93 years old and was telling about his experience as a fighter pilot over the Pacific, back in 1944. He came all the way from Australia to attend the Battle of Britain memorial… -

Re: R1800 costs
I have a group test from a magazine which placed this printer in joint second place (with the cannon i9950)to the R2400 but gives no indication of the print cost, however since it uses the same cartridge as the R800, I should imagine that the cost of an A3 print on the R1800 would be twice the cost of the R800 at A4 at the… -
Re: Is still photography death ?
Dynamic Range: Just to come back to he High Dynamic range of the RED, it is not abnormal i would say . Off course there is a trick but then again my Phase One has 14 stops of dynamic range. 16 Bits Raw: That is what makes the difference in details and granularity in the shadows and black. More light needed/continiue: Well… -
Most Bang For The Buck?
Looking for input on a DSLR. I tried searching, but there's so many options for so many different skill levels and types of photography. As soon as I think I've found something that fits my needs, I see something else. A little about me and my skills. I took a class in high school (circa 1990-91) where I learned the…
