Re: New camera, need lens (canon)
Of course the obvious question is what do you need the lens to do? The mentioned lenses all have excellent reputations (I've only used a 70-200/f4, so am only familiar with that--it IS a fantastic lens). However, a 17-40 is useless for sports or birding while the 70-200 probably isn't the first choice for landscapes. So… -
Re: Passionate...
Angelo, this is not scientific at all. My mind has enough problems without complicated math while shooting. I use AV priority, but it doesn't matter as long as you can control the aperture. The lower the number, the less depth of field you are going to get, the higher the number, the most depth of field you are going to… -
Re: I am being drawn towards the light....
So how much gear would you be replacing? Where would you purchase the new gear? With mail order I wouldn't put much weight on the availablity issue. Anything can be anywhere overnight anymore. I don't have a local camera shop, uless you count 35 miles as local. It has both Canon and Nikon. I'll never really be able to… -
Re: I could use some recommendations
A couple of considerations for a monitor. First - with the Sony A700 (same body I use) you have the option to capture JPEG's in AdobeRGB mode or extract an image from a RAW file in the AdobeRGB color space. If you use AdobeRGB you really should look to a wide gamut monitor but those will run you about $500-600 for a 24… -
Re: 5D vs. 7D
Ironically, as far as sharpness is concerned there are more SHARP options for a crop sensor camera than a full-frame camera. On Canon, you have the 10-22, the Tokina 11-16, Sigma 10-20's, Tokina 12-24 and I think a 10-24, and a Tamron 11-18. Some are not that sharp, but most are tack-sharp right into the extreme corners,… -
Re: Fireworks tips?
Fortunately for me the Tacoma Rainers have fireworks every now and then so I get to go practice my techniques before the real show on the 4th. So reading around on the web at NY photo, the smithsonian and others, I settled on shooting with mirror lockup enabled, started at ISO 100 at F/11. Stupid me, I forgot to switch it… -

Re: how often do you change lenses?
Lately I've only been taking two lenses out of my case, home or vacation. The EF-S 18-55 kitty that came with my 20D, and the EF-S 10-22 I picked up to compliment it. My longer lens just doesn't seem to get much use (might help that it's an old piece of junk compared to the EF-S lenses), and the primes only come out on… -

Progress! Update: General David did a test with (the characters of) my password, and confirmed his theory: if the password is URL-encoded, the login problem goes away.
