Re: What is a good camera to buy these days?
Most common causes for a longer flash recycle time: * Low ISO: Higher ISO uses less flash and gives longer range. * Subject distance: The greater the distance, the harder the flash has to work. * Small subject with dark background: The auto-exposure system may be trying to illuminate the background if it doesn't detect… -
Re: Congrates to all our winners! DSS Challenge #105 High Key
no 'highlight' can apply to any of the color channels. For most 'normal' scenes and subjects, the individual red green and blue channels have similar exposure levels, as a result, highlights usually look whitish, as does direct light. If an image is sufficiently overexposed, all the radiance channels will be clipped, and… -
Re: Looking for comments and suggestions
I shoot soccer a lot, both pro games and U15-college, and here are my experiences: 1. If you're shooting with a 200mm or less, hang out around the goal. I routinely get my best shots with shorter glass there, despite shooting with a 400mm lens as well. If you can, move around and follow the action. You'll get some great… -

Freaking out the Wedding photographer
So, this Friday some of my friends got married at the Hudson River Hyatt in Jersey City. Nice place, with an pier that faces lower mid-town manhattan. Good possibilities of Bride and Groom shots with the Empire State building, etc. Apparently I seriously pissed of the pro working the wedding, and wanted to ask some of you… -
Re: 50mm ASPH Summilux f/1.4 shots
You can see more pics from the 'lux by clicking here. The pics of him sleeping were taken at f/1.4 with a yellow filter. A small 60watt bulb lit the room. I think the shutter speed was 1/30. The camera? I love it. My previous cameras were a D30 & D60. I had a bunch of lenses (28-135 USM,70-200L, 100mm macro, etc) and loved… -
Re: Talk me into Nikon...
There have been some fairly interesting answers here. I'll offer my thoughts as a sports shooter, and a shooter of both systems (and owner of both systems though at very different levels). A HUGE consideration is at what price level you are going to jump in. If you are going to jump in at the 7D level, things are a bit… -

from Midcoast to Acadia, a mid-October wander
I try to get to Acadia National Park twice a year, once in May, and once in October. This year's May trip was early in the month; the park was pretty empty. My October trip had somewhat odd timing in that it coincided with Columbus Day. I try to avoid holidays on my visits to a favorite national park since I prefer quiet… -
Jumping In - Head First
I'll preface this post with a little background on myself. I'm 18, just out of high school. Not that it matters, but I am taking the GED test in 10 days; Didn't do the regular diploma route due to circumstances beyond my control. Anyway, I find myself with a lot of free time (between jobs).
