Re: Carrying more equipment without looking like a tool
Thanks so much Art. I've been scouring the forum's and read about your set-up (and studied every word) several times now. Sounds like it really works good for you. I do like my belts with a bit of padding which is why I purchased the TT pro v2. I've had officers belts with & without a tad of pad and believe it when I say… -
Decisions, AGAIN - Aperture vs. IS? Zoom vs. Prime?
Helloooo everybody again! Well, it's been a while since I had to make my last purchase/gear decisions, and it's that time of the year again :D Just to recap, I've been shooting with a 20D and a 24-70/2.8 and 70-200/2.8 mostly, but also had a 35/2 and a 50/1.4 in my repertoire which I've recently sold. I shoot all kinds of… -

Ok everyone, as promised from this thread, http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=109847, here are a few of my favorite pictures from the 9th Annual Fall Nationals from Southern New Mexico Speedway in Las Cruces, NM.

Re: 5D Mark II wedding film shot in Beijing
Hi Moogle, Thanks for the welcome and its a priviledge to be around all the great photographers and soon to be cinematographers! I actually do not consider myself a photographer yet and coined the term DSLR Artist since I am really a videographer and cinematographer before I bought a few 5D Mark II's in January. Now I like… -
Re: wedding photography and lenses...
I shoot weddings professionally and I started out as an assistant and second shooter with the 17-85 EF-S IS. It was an adequate lens but is variable aperture and not sharp wide open and it distorts greatly at the wide end. My second lens was the 85 f1.8 which I still have and use on every job. It is a tricky focal length… -
Re: Switch to Pentax K10D?
As mentioned earlier in this post I tried a K10- actually 2 of them. Both had FF problems with the 2 lenses I had, one Sigma and one Pentax. Maybe because I bought early in the release schedule. Perhaps some of the QC problems have been fixed. What I liked was the feel and the ergos, Very easy to change things, adjust WB,… -
Re: How to Post a Pic on dgrin
The second link Sid showed still directs me to his earlier thread about how to post a picture - nice young lady in a short skirt et all. But regardless of whether you can get the link, if your pictures are hosted on smugmug or pbase or elsewhere on the web, the instruction I gave about using the image tags will work. For… -
Re: The brown truck cometh - with another toy!
Why 24mm over the 17mm My primary motivation for selecting this lens is for landscape and landscape/pano work (to my mind, there is a bit of a difference). Cityscapes, at this time, don't do a lot for me, but I love the colors, textures, tension, and beauty that is offered up by nature on a daily basis. A number of factors… -
Re: 5d micro
Consider the 90mm Tamron f/2.8 macro Either the present DI (which is supposed to be optimized for digital) or the earlier model non-DI, AF SP lens would be great with either a full frame or 1.6x crop camera. Either Tamron competes very well with the Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro (it is better in some ways and not quite as good… -
Re: 5D Mkll & 580EXll question
Randy, I sat down this afternoon with my 5D MKll, a 580ex II, a 580ex, a 24-105 f4 IS L, and a Kodak gray scale to see if I can replicate what you are experiencing. I agree that something funny is going on. I shot several frames in RAW and verified that you do need some degree ( > +1 stop FEC ) but shooting RAW introduces…
