Bollywood comes to Silicon Valley
I attended (and shot) my first Bollywood theater production over the weekend staged by Project Pulse, a bollywood dance start-up in the <st1:place w:st="on">Silicon Valley</st1:place>. They’re a mixture of professional dancers and volunteer dancers in the valley (mostly software developers and engineers) performing… -
Re: Tamrac Adventure 75 questions
In my experience... There isn't currently, nor will there ever be a single solution bag. Some *may* come close, but won't be the end-all be-all solution we seek. Why? Well, how many different photographic situations will you find yourself in is the question that must be asked... For me, let's see there's: Wedding\event… -

My new D300 rocks...
As some of you know, I got myself a Nikon D300 while being in America. We were there for fourteen days, and I had a warm up with the camera, shooting 3000 pics. I kept 400 of them, still a good photo album. The camera is a big improvement on the D70 and D200, I upgraded from first to D300, and finally feel at home. I can… -
PMA Predictions
If you have them drag them out on the floor here so we may beat them upside the head. In light of the fact that I went out and traded my 70-200 f4 L in on a 70-200 f 4 IS L today I can (with my luck) lay 2 on the table. Most likely...An update to the 300 f4 IS L, call it the Mk II, give it some more SLD and flourite and a… -
Re: Carrying more equipment without looking like a tool
There is definitely a fine balance between finding ways to carry more gear, and simply shedding the weight altogether. If I had to shoot a wedding with just two spyder holster'd cameras and nothing else on my person, (aside from a coupe batteries in one pocket and all my memory cards in the other) ...here is what I'd do: *… -
Re: Pondering a 7D, but....
Neil, I know what you're trying to say, but I have to respectfully disagree, at least on this point: I can shoot looser and crop afterwards simply because there's more pixels to enable me to do that. In a case where I need to use a shorter lens so I can keep the shutter speed at a comfortable level to handhold in poor… -
Re: Wanted: MONOPOD
Motorsports my favorite subject, well, the Paris-Dakar and any motorcycle sport at least..... I've got a Manfrotto 135 which is good. But unused for a long time. I've taken it to all sorts of places but have only used it fully shooting wildlife. If you want to shoot moving vehicles I found it gets in the way. Difficult to… -
Re: What's the sharpest lens you own?
Hello happysmileylady, a Fellow Hoosier!! I think almost all lenses are pretty sharp if used at their best aperture, with good technique. I have several very nice lenses from Canon, Sigma, Tamron, Zeiss, and if I do my job, they rarely let me down in terms of sharpness. Composition, exposure, focus, use of tripod, those… -
Re: Help!!!!! Location for my first wedding
Given the update .... Lens-wise I think you are good to go. You have enough over-lap to get the job done, even if one or more lenses go on strike. The 28-135 is not a stellar performer but, in good outdoor light, will do just fine. The 50mm and the 17-55 will carry the day indoors. The flash can be used both in- and…
