Re: Konica Minolta 5D
5D and Minolta Build Quality Minolta makes 3 real deal pro cameras, the film Maxxum 9, and Maxxum 7, and to some extent the 7D. The build quality of the Maxxum 9 can compete with all pro builds, the 7D build can compete with the 20D and d70. The 5D feels like it was made by the 'OTHER' team at KM, the team that designed… -

Results of Mini Challenge #304: Relfections
As I expected, this was a difficult round to judge with so many great images! @Cavalier - the image that I really like of yours is the sepia image A Three-fer. I'm sure the color version is just a beautiful! @pegelli - images #1 and #3 stand out on your entries. #3 has a complex reaction to which directions the reflections… -
sRGB or RGB in original catch?
I'm changing shooting genre, now focusing on modeled-street, placing either TFCD or token-paid models within city hustle/bustle/grit scenes, employing wide apertures for a lot of background/foreground bokeh, and even trying slow shutters for background/foreground movement to further pop the pin-sharp modeled subject.

A few Mother's Day Pics
I took the camera along on Mother’s Day to my parents house and we had an awesome time. I also managed to get a couple pretty cool snapshots to help us remember the day. I used the Canon 5D mark II with the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS for all the photos. I also used Aperture Priority mode so I didn’t need to worry about… -
Re: A trip to the Serengeti--need some advice on glass
I've been on Safari three times, twice in Kenya, and once in South Africa. I have also photographed wildlife across North America, Alaska, Greenland and Svalbard. I have used lenses from 16mm to 800mm and in between chasing critters. I think the first question you have to answer is do you want to photograph birds and large… -
Re: The Great Nikon vs. Canon Debate
Ironic. I hope I CAN'T see the stars, that's what makes a good sunrise! Nice layer of clouds, up at high altitude, with a crack at the horizon for the sun to peep through for a couple minutes. I couldn't ask for more! And I sort of scratch my head at Ginger's saying she waits to see "versatility" from Nikon shoters. I…
