Re: The boss said go for it! Now I need your help!
OK - I shoot weddings cause I love doing it. Here's my recommendations:* Take a pass on the 5d. I think you would be better served with a 40D * The first lens you need is the EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS. This is the workhorse used by me and many others. I probably shoot 95% of my events using this lens. I've read some to say that… -
Re: In depth review on the new Rebel 350D
Hi Doc, Well, I paid around $600 for my Olympus c5050z about a year and a half ago. It's got a fixed lens. Money for hobbies is all a matter of priorities I guess. I was very anxious to get a digital camera of any kind at the time. Now I'm hooked on digital photography. I really took a lot of pictures with my Canon AE1… -
Re: Where is a lens generally the sharpest?
Yes the Ken Rockwell article primarily refers to view cameras because those cameras are used by individuals already doing everything they can for maximum sharpness - eg tripods, braces, high shutter speeds if possible etc and the large format lenses move further from the film in focusing from near to far - But he does… -
Re: Caitlyn's senior portraits
When I do senior portraits and they specifically ask for locations that usually means they are important to them. I have found seniors like the environmental portrait look for some of their sets. You did a fine job of isolating the subject from the backgrounds, but sometimes they like having the background be part of it. I… -
Re: Frustration - need feedback
Thanks, both. Good point, Mike - and one of the reasons I threw it out here for input. They've seen the "Norman Rockwell" processed one with the tree and LOVED it. So I'm honestly not sure how they're going to respond! I'm of two minds whether to point out that I see problems and we can do a "pick up" set in warmer… -
Re: Lenses for Nikon D800?
Man, there's a whole lot of people talking a WHOLE lot of stuff about the D800 here. When they've never even held one in their hands. So let's debunk some myths about the D800, shall we? 1. You have to have super glass for the D800. Uh no. I've shot on everything from my AF-S 300/2.8 to my 24-80 kit lens that came with my… -
Re: In camera HDR
I just went through this decision, as I switched to a from crop to FF Canon a few weeks ago. Here's what I came to (YMMV): --From the reviews I read, the two Canon 24-70s (2.8II, 4.0) are quite different, even apart from speed and IS. --After reading lots of reviews and comparisons and posting for users' advice, I ended up… -
Re: Australian trip - part 3 with more food
I talked to the shore excursion people and figured out that they were worried about back and neck problems for people. It was too late to get a refund for the tickets and I was still not sure if I wanted to go. I thought we would have the best chance to shop there and we wouldn't have a chance if we went on the excursion.… -
Road from Hana
Wife and I have made quite a few trips to Hana in the past few years...only, I've always been the one that drives, and I've come to the realization that she doesn't like to: a) stop to let me take pictures of the scenery; or b) take the pictures of the scenery for me. I guess that because we live on island, it's become the… -
