Re: Canon Telephoto extenders
Hi J&H - Glad to see you hanging around our digs again I bought a Sigma APO 1.4x DG for Nightingale ( my spouse ) to use with her Sigma 120-300f2.8 and she seems pleased with it. As for the 100-400 Canon - some folks love it and others swear at it. I find myself reaching for my Tamron 200-500 over the Canon 100-400… -
Re: Smugmug's Future
welcome, Eileron :D Great post, thanks for taking the time to write it. I'll try to answer each question, inline - if I miss something, holler back! Actually, it gives us tons more control :D We have saved a ton of money, have better availability, and we think, the most reliable photo hosting and storage offering out… -
Re: 1st Macro attempt with reversed lens
Raphy - I've no idea about other camera manufacturers (assume they have something similar), but with old Canon FD lenses, it was (is?) possible to get a device (F-Stop) that could be inserted into the lens bayonet mount to force the lens to be wide open. Apart from being ideal / nec for back to back lens configurations, it… -
Re: 'smugmug gradient' = new default SmugMug look & feel
A few things about your xhtml first: 1) This:<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://trishtunney.smugmug.com/photos/45579796-L.jpg"><LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.spider-t.com/favicon.ico"> does not belong in your header html. You need to put that in your head tag box. 2)In your caption you have… -
Re: Route 66 in California 10/18/08 (Long Post)
We finally pull off the highway at Ludlow and travel down Route 66 through Bagdad and towards the Roy’s Café in Amboy, CA for about 28 miles. Old decaying house as we turn back onto Route 66 And on this desolate road without any signs or lights or other cars (almost) what do we see? Yup, more trains. Even had to stop for… -
Re: Possible Travel Kit
Sounds like you've got it down. Is the D70 a full-sized chip, or a smaller one like my Rebel XT? Looking at your lens choices, I didn't know if they were actual 35mm focal lengths or 1.6x conversions. . . . Pardon my ignorance. 100 years ago I had a Nikkor AI 35mm f/1.4. . . . Which I loved. Sold it to a friend and regret… -
Re: The PayPal and Google Checkout Thread
Not a Paypal fan. Much as I want to use ebay sometimes, I don't think I ever will again. It's not worth the stress to sell anything of value on there. And Paypal offers no real protection. Last time I sold something on Ebay, and I've only used ebay 9 times, I got ripped off thanks to Paypal. Ebay and Paypal and their… -
Re: Birds of the Night
Trish, I just, last wed, got my new 20D Canon. This is the second time out for me. It was a bit easier this time. I didn't mess anything up because of the wrong settings. I did forget that I could raise my ISO as it got darker and I was taking sunsets. But I have always forgotten that. I should have a plug in for my camera… -
Re: Ow my head
Welcome to DGrin. Hope you enjoy it here as much as I do:D Not that I'm aware of. That would be a maintenance nightmare as the offerings from the various manufacturers seems to change on a daily basis - and that's just looking at the big two. When you add in the very fine and functional offerings from all the others, well… -
Re: 40D Initial Impressions and Noise Tests
Some 40D Pics This is a two exposure composite (the 40D dynamic range isn't THAT good). The two base images were taken with the 28-135, at 33mm. The resulting moon and venus were too small for my taste (and blurred from a 20sec exp), so I also took separate shots of them with the lens at 135mm (0.5 sec @ 100ISO, f5.6).…
