Re: HDR...maybe baby?
E, on what basis are you recommending a bracketing increment of 2/3 stops? Most HDR references that I've read say a 2 stop increment will suffice. Also, while it's true that Canon is limited to 3 a three shot AEB, and Nikon can do five, Nikon only allows a one stop increment while Canon allows two. The net result is that… -
Re: Focus modes for fast moving objects
The recommendation of using release priority on the D300 is because at max fps, the D300 will often stutter between shots while it confirms that the next shot is in focus - even if it is already in focus (which it probably will be if focus was acquired on the first shot and you have good tracking technique). So, if you… -
Re: Recommend a lens for my Nikon before I go crazy with indecision!
For those suggesting a lens, your making a good case I’ll give you that. However here are a few things I am looking for if I get a new lens. -95% of my shooting is outdoors. -I do NOT do portraiture. -I would like to get a single lens. -Not too heavy, the weight of the 70-200-VR might be too much. -90% of what I do is… -
Re: Soccer tournament
Personally I'd be all over that shot if I was the parent of the kid in blue, and if I was the kid I'd be all over my parents to buy it! :D I know what you mean, but I found it difficult to get many of those shots during play action. This was my first soccer game with kids older than 7, so the action was a lot faster and I… -
Re: Monopods
681 0r 681B The 681 series monopods are great "bang for the buck" units and are relatively light (1.7 pounds) for their maximum height (63.4") and capacity (26.4 pounds). The quick release tabs make it nice for sports use - see Scott Sewell's U-Tube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMgZ13X_pr4 The only drawback to… -
Re: Flash Question(s) 580EX II
Get thee to your local dollar store and pick up a piece of white foamboard (the stiffened kind, not just poster card). If you can't find any at a dollar store, Walmart and Michael's both have it, although you'll have to stretch the budget to $5 instead :D That said, I have to confess I really like my 5-in-1 45" reflector -… -
Re: LPS 8 - Explosive Outtakes
I'll play! This is my brother's wife, aka my assistant-in-training. Shooting their beach wedding two years ago was when I first caught the wedding and portrait bug, so you could say she's my original muse. :) We set up a mattress on my back deck (it got to 95 that day, what a trooper!:whew) to get open shade light, and I… -
Re: Advice on gels
Just some rambling thoughts that may address your questions.* Off-color, but sufficient light - shoot RAW (D'oh). Get there early and shoot a gray card. Use that shot to either set a CWB in camera. Or, use it to adjust the color temperature/tint of the photos in PP - usually only a single click operation. * Off-color… -

Re: RFI - Camera for 'work'
Believe? OK, that's a start. I'd be about 95% + on this before I'd take the DSLR plunge $$$. Agreed. I believe that it would. You are living in one of the best areas of the world for outdoor photography. I'm envious. I hope to be near you in the next five years. I'm not trying to scare you away from photography, just the…
