Re: The Camo Craze
from my own experience with the wildlife here in Ks,Mo, Ar and Ok.....clothing color seems to have very little to do with it...as I have hunted and been successful many times wearing blaze orange from head to waist.....however I do make sure to use a clothes wash that is as pure a soap as I can find and sometimes even… -
Re: 300mm lens shootout
Interesting Charles - the objective lenses diameters are the same - maybe for zoom lenses the objective lens diameter has other variables than just aperature. But for a prime lens, is it not true that the diameter of the front element is the major factor in the maximum f stop since f stops are a ratio of focal length to… -
Re: More zoom please!
Thanks, RedBull-Bkriete! I just had to ask to see what you guys in here thought about it,`cos I knew that when the people at Staples were talking about the 20x, they were actually talking about a 2.0x. They may not have seen the decimal when they were looking. But at least they sold the DX7590 cheaper than anyone, ($349).… -
Re: Recs for a great all-purpose lens - D700?
Yeah the first Sigma I bought was a $140 ebay special, a 70-300 plastic paperweight. It literally fell apart in my hands after about 11 months. But then again, I've also completely demolished two Nikon kit lenses in my day as well. Plastic paperweights that eventually just fell to pieces. The few Sigma lenses that I do… -
Re: bag decisions - Mini Trekker?
Hey Elaine, I own and use both a MINI TREKKER CLASSIC and a SLINGSHOT 100. I Find uses for both. I must say a prefer the feel of the Slingshot went totin' gear allot more and find the convenience of instant access to camera HUGE when traveling. Now, you will have to take it off your person to access much of your gear… -
Re: Acadia Revisited
I did for a while. When it was first released I had expected Aperture would be in my future, so ensured I configured a serious video card when I bought my current machine, but did not want Aperture to manage my images - I didn't trust it after experiencing iPhoto. Then, when v1.5 provided the option to reference my image… -
Re: Tripod recommendations
I went though a similar situation this summer. My old tripod was heavy as hell and not very stable. It was also not a ball head. It had a fluid head which was for movies not pictures. It seemed like the nicest one at best buy when I bought it. I just didn't know what I was buying... I figured tripods were tripods. Get… -
Re: Night Shot Noise
Ozium, welcome to dgrin and the Technique forum. There two basic reasons for increased noise in an image. The first is the size of the pixel well - the individual well that captures the photons - plays a major role in how much variation - noise - occurs in a single pixel of an image. The pixel well size is usually strongly… -
Re: Backprinting @ smugmug
If a person sells 2000 fine art prints for $100 each smugmug makes $30,000. That is one *ell of a lot more money than $100 eh? I call that very weird math!! Excuse me, I pay smugmug $100 plus 15 percent. I paid pbase $150 dollars over the last 2 years to store images. I have purchased over 80 urls that are photo related in… -
Re: still even more motocross.
another thougth. most tracks have a schedule. get one and have a look. If you've been asked to shoot, just purely for the sake of shots. you're obviously going for shots, not sepcific people. knowing the class's will help. better riders produce better shots, as shown by my bermbusting friend on the Yamaha. there is a LOT…
