Exotic Salt Mines
Got chance to visit Khewra Salt mine, the 2nd largest salt deposit in the world 220 million ton. It was lit by combination of different lights, you got to read about it at Wikipedia ! How it was discovered It is said that when Alexander visited South Asia, coming across the Jhelum and Mianwali region, Khewra Salt Mines… -
Re: Patent on selling photos on the web??? Please explain this to me
Sam, Well, to be totally honest, it's more than a couple:-). I went through in a 5x4 mode and counted 11 or 12 pages filled mostly with bikeriders photos. Which, in turn, gives about 220..240 pictures taken during those 20 seconds. Split between 4 cameras, it gives essentially 2..3 fps. Other than that - yeah, I kinda get… -
Re: 580 Flash Question
The 580 speedlite is a battery powered device that depends on charging a capacitor to power the flash. If you dump the entire charge of the capacitor for the first frame ( likely if shooting at a significant distance out of doors at a low ISO ) then for the next frames the capacitor is not charged and the flash does not… -

Re: The Hobbyist is the luckiest boy in the whole world!
Which battery does this camera take? Which battery does this camera take? If it is the 675, I have a hint for you. If you find yourself using it a lot you might want to compare the cost of the #675 hearing aid batteries to the camera version. I wear a hearing aid and after I bought a Vivitar 220, that has a match needle… -
Re: need new external flash for canon
The EF-530 DG Super E-TTL II Shoe Mount Flash for Canon EOS is a very good flash and in your price range ($220). An alternative is the Canon 430EX II Speedlite TTL Shoe-Mount Flash which comes in at $250. I would actually recommend you buy it on-line from either B&H (the link) or from Adorama.com. Both are very reputable… -
Re: Canon Rebel XT and High-Speed sync, FP flash
I have to admit I was a bit surprised when you said the 220 would do the trick for you. High speed sync is a pretty advanced flash feature, so I really think you may have to go with a better unit. I'd also say that the 580 can probably dumb itself down quite a bit to work with those old cameras your worried about (at least… -
Re: Nikkor 17-55 2.8 or Sigma 18-50 2.8?
haha, wow, we have the same first name... we fought for the same D300... Ironic. Great minds think alike! Yeah, well, my budget if my lens sells for the reserve price ($650) would be roughly $920 lets just say $1000 to make it easy. I need to get a flash... that's a necessity. I'm thinking either an SB600, or a couple… -
Re: Orlando, FL photographic opportunnities??
Merritt Island and Viera Wetlands Anyone considering coming over to MINWR (Exit 220 off I-95) should also consider the Viera Wetlands (Exit 191 off I-95). Both are "drive-through" locations where you can shoot from the car. The recent rains should have helped the water levels at MINWR, it was quite dry earlier in May.…
