Small camera roundup
Those who have been following my search for a new travel camera know I've been checking out a number of models. I think I've finally worked my way through the contenders, and since a few people wanted to know what I discovered, I'm starting this new thread with a run-down plus some sample shots. This is NOT a scientific… -
Post-edit HELP of a personal nature
I know this is a strange one, but clock's running and I'm on the spot (family spot, lol). My wife's running for Mayor of our Chicago suburb, pop around 18,000. Right off the bat, it's a payless job, as are all other elected positions here, a paid Village Manager and staff run day-to-day operations, elected positions ate… -
Re: another camera focus question
Pete, I looked at your images on your website at 100%. You first frame of your dog, with the AF point over its ( dog's ) right eye ( camera left ) I think is excellent, as I would expect at f8 with the 70-200 f2.8 IS L II. I see no focus issues. Your second frame with the AF point over your dog's left ear, shot with your… -
Re: the best camera between?
The closing rate of active children and dogs can be greater than that of an "Indy'" car. In order to gain some consistency in AF accuracy you really need sports/action lenses and body. It also takes some techniques and experience to maximize your keepers. You can also use some techniques to optimize your keeper rate by… -

Re: How to break into legit photography as a side business?
Agreed. You can't say this is hogwash. I did it. Except I didn't even try. A parent on the team forwarded my pics to the league president and recommended me. Mine does. In my 3 years, I've seen precisely one other white lens on a 40D and one Nikkor 70-200/2.8 on a D300. The team with the grandma shooting the D300 didn't… -
Re: Another Tamron 16-50 VC question, AF and video - feedback please
Well, its funny you mention that Sigma. I was aware of Sigma but had read too much about sample variety, and honestly I never considered Sigma to be much outside the neighborhood of Tamron, so I just wasn't considering it. However earlier tonight I happened to see a box for this lens when I went out for more Tamron testing… -
GEAR: Canon EF 70-300 f/4-f5.6 IS
Canon EF 70-300 f/4-f5.6 Review by Justiceiro The Canon 70-300 f/4-f/5.6 lens is the first "quality" lens I've owned, if you define quality as "a lens that costs about as much as a cheap DSLR." Actually, this lens currently retails for about $550 at B&H, so as far as the higher end Canon lenses go it isn't too bad. General… -
Re: One Soon
Phenomenal? ....maybe not THAT good, but thanks for the compliment. Yes it snowed here a couple weeks ago, but it has been pretty warm since. I was frustrated with the choice in clothing. It wasn't what we had talked about in color or style. The cap sleeves were challenging also...as can be expected. That is good advice. I…
