Re: The " King Kong " Of Racing Ferrari's
Hi Bill, It's great to hear from you. Thanks for the kind remarks. Thanks also for expounding on the Le Mans incident. It's a story well known to me but I'm sure a lot of folks don't appreciate the real scope of what happened. In addition to the 83 killed, another 120 were injured. The philosophical mind-set regarding… -

Strobist first results - opinions please?
After reading countless forums about strobist photography I took a light stand, flash unit, camera, tripod, reflector screen and two 500 watt flood lights outside last night and these are the best pics of the 83 I snapped.

Re: Canon 350D / Rebel XT Review is up.
Burning a hole in my pocket is an understatement Nee believe me. My old canon stuff is just that ...old. I think there is more mold in them than in my fridge. We have a climate here so humid that would make florida look dry (on the same latitude as chile) They are not worth worrying about.... some old wides & 200mm tele… -
Re: Tripod ?
There is only one brand of ballhead to buy, and that's Really Right Stuff. End of story.

Some 83 Possibles
Now that I live in Seattle, I truly appreciate it when the sun comes to visit. I used to live in NYC so it's tough not seeing the sun for so long.

Re: A few landscapes from a close friend
I hear ya. I actually have that shot in my bedroom. Here's a couple of links to what it looks like from my photobucket. If you know the location, then you've probably figured out that it was done from the other side of the PCH, up on the side of the hill, not inside the park itself. Anyway, here it is framed in my house… -

Re: What lens to add? (nikon)
I'd 2nd/3rd the suggestion to consider the 70-300VRII... It'll be a great compliment to your existing lens; will work on your D40 as its an AF-s with in-lens AF motor and has good IQ. http://www.photozone.de/active/survey/querylens.jsp User-Reports IQ at 70-mm (Wide/Stopped Down v 300-mm (Wide/Stopped Down) as 85/96 v…
