Re: On-Site Printing for Events
Well, I am not sure if I am ready with a full post-mortem yet, but I can say Badminton went quite well. I will actually back up and describe our set up at dance first. Dance day 1, we had 4 used laptops ($150 each) with Windows XP on them. We thought one had enough brains to run LR efficiently and export to our viewing… -
Re: 135/2 vs. 70-200/2.8IS
Can I just say that I find it slightly hard to believe how absolutely critical an f/2.8 lens STILL remains, these days, since every generation of new DSLR body adds a whole stop of ISO performance (or two!) compared to previous generations. People used to be scared out of their minds when they had to go above ISO 400 for… -
Re: The "R" Family Session
Hi Julie, The composition could use some work and the lighting is kind of dull. See the distance between the subjects heads and the top of the photo in a couple of them. The rule of thirds really does add drama to the photos. Work on getting some pop in the lighting and color. A levels and contrast adjustment will get you… -
Re: Post Processing... How much time?? (now with poll!!)

An important part of my workflow is the ability to sort the keepers rapidly as an sports event shooter (extreme motorsports and college athletics) my initial number of pics from an event is approx 600-1000 images... My currently preferred method is to download all into iPhoto (maybe the… -
Re: Just Bought a Canon 40D - Must Have Accessories?
Grab the free and totally awesome smugmug camera strap. I'm not kidding, it is the most comfy strap I've ever owned (not that i've owned many). Not that we've freed up another $25, you gotta get a tripod. No, not a $25 one. Look at the manfrotto stuff. I love the Grip head tripod heads and flip lock legs. I don't have the… -

Re: Tennis elbow for photographers?
As per your website advice column, you may want to lose the 24-70 lest brides ask you whether or not you use zooms! :-P Okay in all seriousness, yeah it can get heavy. A full-size camera body and a 70-200, OUCH. ...Which is why I try and stick with a grip-less D300 or D700, with primes on the D700 and crop-sensor zooms on… -
Re: dog photos, need ideas
Happy dogs! These were taken at a dog park, but they could have been almost anywhere. Except in a bare backyard with a chain link fence. But to show you, this is my favorite: I was so please with that shot, then there was my other Corgi, Skye, I felt bad because he just did not do a photogenic thing. So I worked up what I… -
