Re: A Brief Comparison of the Canon 300 f2.8 L and the Sigma 120-300 F2.8
Erich, One of the facts I was trying to ascertain, was whether there was any significant difference in exposure with each of the three lenses tested - all shot at ISO 200 f5.6 1/125th of a sec The pixel data I circled in black, above the doors in each image, measured 209,208,209 with the Canon lens, 214,214,209 with the… -
Essence of Youth entry options & outtakes
Whew! That was close. I didn't have much time once I finally got my pictures edited... I went to see my new nephew, almost 10 days ago now. He was two days old when I shot some quick photos in my sister-in-law's house (it was quite dark, only had the overhead light and a reading lamp to work with). I wish these had a bit… -

Re: Hi Key - first attempt
Thanks, that is my girl Jaiden. As far as setup, I have a relatively small studio here at home. Approx 16ft X 12ft. The lighting on this shot was the following. 1 Elinchrom strobe 600W dialed way down, firing thru a Chimera 3'X4' softbox. 36" reflector on the other side for a bit of fill. 1 Opus 150W with barndoors to… -
Re: Kari, Lance, Cars: Companion Piece
Why, thank you ma'am! Growth is good. This was me with my 50mm fresh from the box. I was just happy to see photos that were in focus. :D There's a whole mess of them over on my smug mug. 107 I think. I culled them all down from over 300... so I'm getting better about that too. I shall work on the cropped hands. I did… -
Re: High School Basketball Questions...
I'm a newbie at basketball, but I had decent luck with my 5DII on ISO 3200, and a 24-70 on f/2.8. In one gym (shots 18 to 76) the light was very bad and basically any shot without bounce flash was useless. In another gym (shots 84 to 108) the light was better and I could get away without flash. I shot in manual and I moved… -
Re: YATQ (Pano)
Would you be interested in making your own pano head? I've enjoyed playing around with QTVR, but found appropriate pano head prices out of this world. This one by "Sondra C" http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Panoramic-Tripod-Head is one of several I have tried in the past, and it works ... I used some scrap box stuff so it… -
Our first Strobist shoot - way too many pics...
< Edited to add: As always, C&C welcome > There was a Strobist group started here in the D/FW area, and in 30 days we now have 107 members. Last night we had our first Stobist shoot in a props warehouse. Only 2 models showed up. I mainly helped everyone, but did grab a few shots. I loaned out 2 of my speedlights/umbrellas,… -
Re: Better Hawk Shots
Via a Google search, I found some shots very similar to yours that made me think Red SHOULDERED. I went to the Cornell site and their map is pretty clear that Red SHOULDERED Hawks are not likely to be found in AZ. It also says they favor deciduous or mixed deciduous-conifer woodlands. Here's the link:… -
Weekly Assignment #107: Obamicon
We've all seen now-iconic tri-colored portraits of the 44th US President. Let's try our hands in mimicing this popular and, I admit, becoming a bit kitschy:-), style. Your entry supposed to have one primary subject filling up most of the frame. Background should be very smooth, preferably totally clean. Subject can be…
