Re: You want answers? We need questions! (or ask Ron Reznick)
Something I have struggled with are the white birds. Backgrounds could be the sky or vegetation. Even at -1EC, I sometimes end up OE. This is the reciprocal of the dark subject/light background situation. What you need to do is train your eyes to luminosity values to make this sort of thing easier (check out that greyscale… -
FS: Olympus C8080WZ
I'm asking $350 for this one. What you get: Olympus C8080 in excellent shape, no scratches, etc. The only thing wrong with it is the rubber for the front side of the grip is off.

Wonders of light(ing:-)
Last night I got another opportunity to shoot middle school band concert. Large modern gym hall provided enough light to see the players, but all my prior attempts to shoot similar events there (with Sony 828) never brought any spectacular results. This time I decided not to take any chances. Not only I was using my 20D… -

For the AF-S 300mm f2.8G ED VR it is ~49metres, for my Sigma 800mm f5.6 it is 125m , within their working ranges the… -
Opulent Indulgence....Maharajah Style
I don't know where to start with this car. It is perhaps the most arresting car I have ever seen....and I've seen a mother-load of stunning automobiles over the years. In a field full of the finest cars ever made, this one simply commands your attention like no other. The size alone is compelling. It rides along on a… -
Re: Monopod
Upgrading/supplementing my Manfrotto 681 monopod... I like to use a monopod whenever it is convenient and I have been very happy with my Manfrotto 681 pod (which is the same as the 681B - only in aluminum color). Although it is wonderfully tall and extremely sturdy, the 681 has two flaws; 1. It is fairly heavy at about… -

Re: Planning trip to Canadian Rockies - any suggestions?
Well first of all stay off the Trans Canada as much as possible if time is not an issue. Sometimes you need to take it if your destination requires you to take it and the views are spectacular as well. However there are better routes. Lets start at Calgary. You can take numerous routes to get west . Lets explore the…
