Re: Harry's turning three
Thanks everyone!!! Thanks so much, S! I didn't mean to make you cry, but I know when he's all grown up I will long for these days. I'm trying to enjoy them as much as possible, part of the reason I'm "working" less! He's just so much fun right now, and as you said, very much a boy! Aw, thanks Dave! It's so funny you said… -
Re: My first second shooter was crap, now what?
Firstly I'm at a loss as to why you didn't ask the simple question of what gear she has before you hired her. How what she turned up was a surprise to you is beyond my understanding. How you also didn't have some clue of her work and had seen samples before hand is also somewhat of a surprise. As to scamming you an extra… -
Re: >>> DSS Challenge #4 (Photo Filters): Feedback Thread
Feedback for Pages 6 and 7 Entries #51 Sibling Rivalry (Michael Atkins) - This is such a good bear shot! I felt the filter effect chosen actually detracted a bit. This might also have been better as a vertical crop. Brings back fond memories of living in Alaska :) #52 Just Married (jeffreaux2) - Another one I agonized over… -
Re: Digital SLR Cameras - How does yours rate?
With regards to ease of use, performance, versatility and quality - have you seen or tried one of the new 645Ds? Yes I own one and am a bit biased, but I'm no Pentax Fan-boy and have owned and used cameras from a lot of different manufactures. I compared the 645D against 1DMkIII and D3x models and the Pentax is just as… -
Re: beginner macro lenses
Welcome to Dgrin! And may I say you've found a downright wonderful place for exactly this kind of question! I spent so much time on my reply, Candid Arts has already summed up what I had to say nicely! But here's the long version: Since you say you've registered a few weeks ago, I'm guessing you've checked out some of the… -
Re: Sportsshooter Article re Free Shots
I guess I get a bit of gratification in hearing others complain about requests for something for free. This is something I've dealt with for at least 15 years as a snowboard manufacturer. I get hundreds of e-mails a year asking me to sponser, sponcer, sponcor (rarely sponsor) them because they can do some trick. My… -
Re: Undecided on Upgrading. :/
First of all you're welcome. I don't mind if you use that at all. The knowledge is here for you and future users to learn from. Secondly, as Ziggy said, there is no calculation. The reference term "stop" is just that, a reference term. In the given line of apertures (f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22, f/32)… -
Re: Begging for Help
This should really be in "Accessories" but I'll try to help anyway: I have a 900 and a 600. Don't believe all naysayers about the 900. It's an amazing flash, and much easier and more intuitive to control (as far as switching modes, changing power settings, toggling menu options, etc) than the 800 (or 600 for that matter).… -
Re: New Camera
I am a 19 year old college kid paying for tuition on loans lol, $1300 is a bit seep for me. I plan on making a decent amount of money over the summer and this will be my reward lol. Do you think I could be alright without the 70-200 lens? Also I guess thats where the benefit of the Pentax comes in, I could keep my Tamron… -
Re: First Hummingbird post, but not my first Hummingbird images
thanks, and some explanation Hi Ron, First off, thank you for the kind words! Understand that I am a relative "rookie" in terms of bird photography - I've been shooting seriously on a continuous basis for barely over a year. I started in mid-2006 and took these images in 2007. However, I studied hard and practiced a lot (I…
