Re: Ano Nuevo - Home of the Elephant Seals
Hi Eric, great to know you have same gear. This is the recipe that is working for me (I always publish anything I learn as I am always bugging others for knowledge): 1) No extender as auto-focus may not work at all and even if it works it is 75% slower by Canon's own admission, so for purposes of wild life it is truly… -
Re: Special Event Photos, would like your comments/suggestions
An idea...... I've been drafting a reply about the Kodak Dye Sublimation printer 1400 and having read your post thought I'd answer it first with an idea as your time is short. I'm a great fan of Dye Sub and with recent price drops feel that for what you're going to do they are a real advantage. You've got two days on site… -
Re: A Trip Too Small: Fiji, New Zealand, and Some More
Guess I'd better get caught up! Kelsey opted in on one of the pay-to-adventure items in Wanaka, which was a flight in an aerobatic plane where, with minimal instruction, you are placed behind the controls of an airplane, and you personally get to take it through the maneuvers, including takeoff and landing and a variety of… -
Re: Lense repair...
As I mentioned, I have neuropathy in my hands and feet due to a condition called CIDP ( Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy). The disease has me questioning my ability to continue shooting. I now wear Gator Gloves to provide some grip on the camera, and have a lot of issues finding the shutter release… -
Re: Iceland
Thanks so much, Mitchell! I was going to travel to Europe (Germany) and take advantage of the free 7-day layover in Iceland that their airline offers, which I can do on the way, or on return. Or I may just go straight to Iceland only, for longer than a week. :) I can only go in the Summer right now though. My intention is… -
Re: Scanning Artifacts in Black & White Negative Scans...Why? How?
Hi Michael, welcome to dgrin. I've been scanning my own positive film slides ( Kodachrome, Ektachrome Agfachrome etc ) and 35mm B&W silver negatives - PlusX, Tri-X Royal X and loads of prints, mostly B&W, from the 19th century over the last twenty years. I have used a Nikon 35mm film scanner - a CoolScan IV ED, and an… -
Stepping on toes
Had something strange happen to me today not really sure why I am even putting this on the forum but here goes. Was approached by a very high airport official who has seen some of my photos. He wants to buy maybe 36 or more photos and my name and web site would be on them too. The photos are going to be put up in the… -
Australia - July 6-28th 2012
Part #1 I just got back from my Australian cruise and have almost gotten over jet lag although I still tend to want to stay up late, get up late and nap in the middle of the day. And I still have a horrible cough. There were two hazards to this trip - the long plane ride to get there and getting a scooter to use on the… -
DIY Off-Camera Flash Cord: You Choose the Length
I'm posting this here cause I figure if I'm so stoked at finding out this is possible, someone else might be too! So I've been reading the Strobist blog (http://strobist.blogspot.com) and in the process of adding strobe gear to my collection I was looking for a way to get my flash off camera without shelling out 500 bucks… -
Re: Chime in on this discussion/question of which lens
You're on the right track. An active dog is much like sports/action photography and you require both rapid and accurate AF acquisition in order to produce sharp images. This requires both a camera "and" lens which are capable of measuring the speed and vector of the subject as well as predicting where focus will be at the…
