Re: Canon "L" lens verses Non "L" lens
Canon says that "L" lenses are characterized by the inclusion of technical advantages including ( and I quite from their website ) "Ultra Low Dispersion UD and Fluorite lens elements to absolutely minimize chromatic aberration (color fringing), Aspherical lens elements to combat spherical aberration (image smearing), and… -
Re: 70D ISO Test, Straight from the Camera, JPG's
Yup. I turned the raw sharpness all the way up to see any noise better and forgot to turn it down to a sensible level before exporting to jpeg and uploading. Those shots weren't meant to win any prizes, just a scene with a lot of dynamic range to test on. I have been more impressed with this camera than any other I've… -
Re: terrible experience trying to order a Sigma ... wanna hear?
Thanx very much for the reply. I guess that "Bigma" won't be in stock much longer!!! (if not from me, from someone who learns that) Wow, that's a surprise (edit: it's the non-DG version). I "wonder" if it's one of the "bad copies/versions" I hear about that was returned by someone. I'm actually leaning more -- if I have to… -
Re: Another NE SD Track Meet
Right out of the gate . . . thanks for taking all the time to critique my images and to carefully recommend you fixes. Thanks again! Yes, I am constantly reminded that I need to crop more. I will work on it. I have no idea what’s up with the lone AAE hurdle. Next time I see the Athletic Director I will tell him someone… -
Plaza de Mexico
I'm not sure where to put this, I suppose "sports" is the place. Here are some shots I took the Sunday before last at the Plaza de Mexico in Mexico City. After walkng under the huge sign that said "No Video or Film Cameras, No Backpacks" I made my LowePro mini-trekker as inconspicious as possible, whistled a juanty tune,… -
Aruba.
Got back last Sunday from a week in Aruba. Beautiful windy, little island. It remains around a constant 33c or 91f. With humidity it is around 42c or 107f. The constant breeze (or should I say gale force winds when we were there :) ) keeps the temperature managable. You drink half a beer, set down your cup and whoosh,… -
Studio Questions
My New Year Resolution is to get my own studio by the end of 2010. I'm scoping out some places for my studio to relocate to. (REALLY need to get out of my basement! I'm currently sharing the basement with workout equipment, and so far they're winning the space war) I'm a people shooter... looking at getting more into model… -
Profile of a Canon Lens Buyer
I am submiting this posting with permission by the original auther Mark W from the Fred Miranda site. Mark's text struck a chord in that it pretty accurately sums up the profile of a (well financed) Canon system owner at the Canon discussion group at FM's and to a certain extent here at dgrin: "Get a 70-200/4 - love it,… -
Planning the next upgrade
It's that time.... look forward to hearing opinions (and for you wonderful folks to fill in the gaps I've missed.....) * Backstory: upgraded an XT to an Xsi last year, knowing that I would ultimately want a 2nd body. FWIW, I absolutely LOVE my xsi, and have only felt (slightly) limited by its high ISO performance (read:… -
Wedding Lens Horror - glad I was 2nd shooting
So it finally happened, I dropped my body / lens at a wedding... and the lens broke. (I've dropped things short distances before and they've always worked)... Anyhoo... so within the first 10-20 minutes of getting to the bride's house this morning (er yesterday, I guess it's "tomorrow now" I should get some rest soon....)…
