Re: Drobo hardrive system
Sam Like Pathfinder, I have four internal drives in my Mac Pro - two 500GB drives that came with the machine, and two 1.5TB drives I have added more recently when I needed more capacity. Originally, all my flies (including images) and applications were on one 500GB drive, and the other was used by Time Machine to maintain… -
Re: Shooting a foot race
I don't know about the focus modes on the Nikon, but on my 20D I use a AI Focus mode. It's a hybrid between a continuous focus and a fixed point focus. At least for my camera, I found that it sometimes has difficulty focusing on a object coming directly towards me (compared to anything diagonal). Sometimes the focus never… -

Re: 7D and Lenses
I wonder what you feel is the limitation of your 40D? You take some great pictures and I like your blog and other sites. On the central question I think digital photography is a extensive system and most important to a photographer is knowing how to use the tools they have available. Sara, you seem to be on-top of your… -
Re: lens?
Everybody always asks the "which ONE lens would you pick to shoot a wedding with", and that question is (no offense) kinda silly because, well, you just don't go into a wedding with just one or two lenses. What you REALLY mean is, "which ONE lens should I invest the most in?" And when you put it that way, the answer is… -
Re: Harry I need your help
Jeff, I have that lens. Other than the less used 70-200L, I basically have two lenses I use all the time. The 300 Prime and the 17-40 L......... I bought them in February, or there abouts. I also bought the 1.4 extender, and have since purchased the 2 Xs extender. If you think about the 2 Xs, be aware that you do lose your… -
Re: Slow Server?
And here's part of the problem... Andy - I'm aware that the websitepulse.com testing I setup was artificial (single thread, no client side caching etc, no gzip compression etc) - BUT it is showing that for a first time, single threaded load, my site from new Zealand takes about 30-40 seconds, compared to 4-8 seconds from… -
Re: Pulling Threads Together -- Lacrosse, RAW & 400 f/2.8
No mad ups while holding that monster! No ups whatsoever is more like it. In terms of remarks, the thing tends to impress people; the only ones who are less than impressed are those who have, or think they have, a vested interest in how much I spent on it. Setting WB in-camera when shooting JPEG works fine, and the… -
Re: Attn Lynn, shot from boy with the birds
Hey Ginger, Here's a help section/tutorial on display color which has a pointer to why Photoshop sometimes (more like usually) displays the color differently than you see it through a web browser (like on smugmug or dgrin). Now for the really easy part: skin tones. Skin tones intimidate almost everyone because they seem so… -
Re: Canon 20D lens advice
Well, first of all lens basics. The focal length (example, 10-22, 70-200) is going to tell you how "long" or "wide" the lends is. The 10-22 is a wide angle suited for landscapes where the 70-200 is a telephoto, more suited to sports & some wildlife. I hear from many wildlife guys that the 70-200 is kind of short & if you…
