Re: Can't download photos - Says card needs to be formatted
For what it is worth, here's what I do. I've never lost images across 7 camera bodies and more than a dozen cards and over 15 years. Lucky so far. I have two or more cards per camera to limit data loss if it ever happens. I don't use huge cards for the same reason. Those I do use each hold about 300 RAWs max. Those are… -
Re: Travel camera
All good points. I'm trying to make sure that IF somebody suddenly says, "Oh, you're here - will you do some portraits?" I have something I can make work, ideally without having to go the rental route (rentals in the UK are $$$ from the research I've done). It probably wouldn't be lifestyle, but my typical headshot style.… -
Re: Stepped out of my comfort zone, indoor action + questions
Went to another practice. They did not do any scrimmages so I did not get a chance to shoot inside again. I actually just toyed around and mounted my 300mm f4 just for the fun of it. I had two remote strobes this time, my 430-EXII and a cheap manual flash. Triggered by a cheap set of remotes, trigger only. AF on the 300mm… -
Re: Walking/Travel lens?

Re: Basketball Upgrade
You could probably keep whatever camera you currently have, just invest in lighting. Seriously. No disrespect for those that don't use it or those that shoot with on camera flash (assuming that on camera is allowed by your local officials, where some parts on the baseline it's STRICTLY forbidden..) But for around $250, you… -
Re: Sigma 85 1.4 vs canon 85 1.2
well : around 4 years time-frame and a dozen of double spreads and hundreds of smaller sizes on national publications taken with the 85 1.2 shooting pro soccer may give an idea on how "slow" the lens is ... tracking. The shots I take with the 85 1.2 usually happen when I am close to the action or behind or right next to… -
Re: Wide/Superwide fast lens for Canon recommendation?
thanks for all the advice Thanks all, the Nikon looks great, but I'd have to wait a while to build up the budget for that one, the Tokina also looks good, I'd forgotten about the option of using zoom lenses designed for crop sensors on a full frame body if you keep to the longer focal lengths, plus, the Tokina would be… -
Re: Camera Bag Advice for trip to Australia
The backpack thing has been an odd quest for me. A lot of people do not speak well of the Canon backpack. Canon Camera Backpack But it's compartments and pouches seem to be better than almost any bag I've looked at up to $200. In winter, I wear my down vest, but sometimes want to take it off. The Canon pack has the elastic… -
Re: Indoor Sports (Professional Stadium)
@OP, I read through this thread from the start. I tried to Google the handball and basketball info but couldn't figure out which events you are talking about. I don't know anything about handball. Do you? If I had this assignment, and your experience, I would be really worried. So you have credentials. Great. Where are you… -
The secret SmugMug URL's !!
Hi, I'm new to the SmugMug family (okay, I'll call it SM from here ;-) but I'm a retired Internet guru. So, I want to get the most out of SM and it's integration to my blog. I am not going to post the ultimate list here, like I said, I'm a newbie, but I sure hope others will reply with the URL's they found! I'll list…
