To Raw or not to Raw
Hello Everyone, this is my first posting on dgrin. I'm on Canon 40D / canon 50mm / canon 70-200 f:4 is / Sigma 105mm Macro / Canon 17-85 is. I have started shooting RAW, being pursuaded by all those posts advocating raw as THE way to go for all the reasons I won't repeat here. However, the more I go, the more I am starting… -
SOLD: Pentax High Quality Lenses
Up for sale are several of my high end Pentax FA* & FA lenses as well as my two Tamrons. I baby all of my equipment so these are all in (LN-) condition. I have some feedbacks here and 100% feedback on eBay under username Sirfishalotz. I'm only selling these to fund the purchase of a super telephoto lens. PM is the best way… -
Nostalgia & Route 66
I know that this image isn't from Route 66, but I would like to invite readers to post their Route 66 photos along with location information. Every May I go on the Run For The Wall for POW/MIA awareness and education. Since I have to ride my Gold Wing from Alabama to Los Angeles, I always leave early and pick places along… -
Re: Volleyball Pictures
indoors or outdoors? Taking a stab in the dark (as it were) if you are shooting indoors then you are likely in a poorly lit gym so you will need to set your camera body up to its highest ISO setting; will likely still need very fast primes (85 1.8 or 50 1.4 ) and most of the time you will want to be prefocusing on where… -
Re: Crop sensor mirrorless—Sony, Fujifilm, or … ?
Hi Barbara, even though it sounds as though you've made up your mind, I'll throw in my 2 cents. I'm also in the over-65-group and camera weight is an issue, whether it's for walking around in a city or on the ocassional hike, or more importantly for me is on a bike. My camera rides in a handlebar bag and it is important… -
Re: Sharpening up far away images
I dffer with Ziggy here, as if i shot in RAW, I would do my initial capture sharpening specifically in ACR, and correct any chromatic aberration needed in ACR as well. I agree with uprezzing as the final step in Raw Conversion on the way to Photoshop. I discuss correcting chromatic aberration here -… -
Re: Friday Night Lights!!!
The guy in 5 played tennis with my daughter last year, and I just found out last week that he is the son of a good friend. Small world. Unfortunately, I usually shoot jpeg only at FBall games, and had to over push the exposure to get his eyes under that hat to show up....the red kinda sucks too. My PP was quick and dirty,… -
Re: Wrestling season!
I'm going to respectfully disagree with some of the above. As for crotch shots, wrestling isn't the same as gymnastics. The ground work shot here does not, IMO, have any objectionable emphasis on the crotch. The nice thing about this angle is you see both faces as well as the leg work. You DO have to pay attention to… -
Re: Looking for lenses f/2.8 (for sports/action)
If you're looking for 1 lens to do it all, it's not likely to happen. Your best choice is a 70-200 f2.8 for the darker outside games. A good flash will be a big help at those night footbal games and may be a good option for your indoor games. Further reach in an f2.8 lens means a prime that's too long for your indoor stuff… -
Re: Suggestions for a travel kit
It depends on your shooting style... Some photographers want/need UWA capability while others lean toward telephoto lenses. Some like very fast primes while others enjoy the flexibility of zoom lenses. As for me, I like the combination of a 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and the 70-200mm f/4L IS lenses mounted on a pair of 1.6x cameras.…
