A different set of rehearsals...
This could either go into People or here at Street/PJ, but given my recent postings I decided to put it here - mods, feel free to move if you choose :thumb Got back into town Monday, and yesterday morning got a message from my friends who started the concert opera company asking if I'd shoot their dress rehearsal Tuesday… -
What Am I Doing Wrong? Am I Crazy?
I can't figure this out... and I am not sure where to put this, but I figure since it is probably my fault, Technique would be a good place. Recently we got a bird feeder for the backyard (yay!). My mother has been taking shots, lots of them, with the Canon 100-400L with very mixed results at the bottom end of the… -
FS: Legendary Nikkor 200/f2 Ais ED-IF $1295
Nikkor 200/f2 Ais ED- IF Never thought I would be putting this gorgeous pice of glass up for sale, but my recent work requires an auto-focus alternative. This amazing lens is sharp wide open at f2 and bokeh is very pleasing. For those not familiar with this magnificent piece of glass, here is a link to an informative… -
Re: When Everything Clicks (14 pics)
I certainly don't always like a tilt. Many times it ruins an image because it is pointless other than just a tilt to tilt. My theroy on it, or I should say the times when I appreciate it is when it helps the image along. In 11, the shot of dad throwing his head back laughing, is a perfect example of a well done tilt to my… -
Re: Switch to Pentax K10D?
I switched! From Nikon to Pentax, with the K10D body. Pentax suits me better because it has a set of primes that suit me better. It's simple as that. Lately I've decided I would base my photography around 2 focal lengths only (maybe 3, in the future). I chose a normal FOV and a short telephoto for portraits. On Nikon, that… -
Re: Sorority Formal
So glad we get to meet your son!!! 1-You are right about the "warm up" part of the session, he looks the most tense here, but it sure does get better! I'm not sure about the shooting angle of this one, but the BG is nice. 2-"My handsome son." No lie!!! I thought for sure we'd see more of the girls, but wow, you have been… -
Re: Tamron 17-50 focus problems
First, confirm focus accuracy for that lens/camera combination. Make sure you are in One-Shot mode for these tests. Please do all of the following: 1) A brick wall, shot straight on and squared with, using a tripod. This is a pretty good test for front-focus, back-focus, field curvature and vignetting issues. Make sure to… -
Re: 100mm or 150mm Macro?
not sure if this is completely correct but here is my take on it: In normal lenses the depth of field will be determined by the diafragma chosen (maximum may be limited to F = 4 or something), the focal length (wide angle v.s telephoto and the distance of foreground (focused subject) to background. If the distance between… -
Re: m8o in Northern Tanzania '07 (serious d/l warning!)
Thanx for the kind comments everyone. Much thanx... I aim to please. <wink> I have let this thread -- nay, my much bigger task of laboriously agonizing over the PP treatment of each image as I convert still over thousand (and a half?) more PEFs to JPG -- go for far too long. For that reason, I finally went through the 2nd… -
Re: Torn Between The Nikon D90 And The 5D Mark 2
FF cameras really do require the best lenses to produce the best images. If you feel that inexpensive lenses will serve your needs then you probably don't need a FF camera. I was a late adopter of IS lenses and I know when to use the feature but I also know that much of the time IS will slow down acquisition (as it takes…
