Re: Help guide me. Warning, long post.
Personally, I think you just need to really learn your equipment....you have a full frame camera.....and some nice lenses...just learn how to use them.....until about 2 yrs ago I was shsooting a pair of 6mp Konica Minolta 7D's with Sigma Lenses (24-70f2.8 / 70-210 f2.8) and there was nothing stopping me from shooting great… -
Re: Waiting for Mr UPS....
Thanks all! I knew folks in here would understand the absurd thrill of not only a new lens, but a new really COOL lens :D As far as I can tell, it looks like new - no marks, obvious brassing or anything else I've found yet. It's the Mk 1 (with built-in hood, which is the one I wanted), was EX grade, and the gross price was… -
Re: Uploading troubles
OK got through to someone who knew their stuff :-o far quicker than usual (everyone else still on hols?) and he explained that I can do a tracert from my computer by going into the Applications>utilities>network>tracert, typing in 'upload.smugmug.com' and hitting the 'trace' button (See result below). From the results… -
Re: An update!
Rheina, What camera and lens do you have now? Does it auto-focus, camera or lens? If all are totally manual then I recommend you take a look at Olympus.....funny thing.....Olympus has lowered it prices, where C & N are raising theirs:D. If your current camera & lens does auto-focus then I suggest you take a look at… -
Re: BIGMA+Kenko Pro 300 1.4X TC-Surfing
Here's another image with f/6.3 uncorrected for TC at 500mm (1,050mm EQ) (By the by, how does one calculate how much the TC changes the aperture?) <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/headscratch.gif" border="0" alt="" > DOF calculator indicates the DOF is around 7' for subject at ~300' and f/6.3; ~10' for f/9. In… -
Re: Point and Shoot help
Capable mid-priced Point & Shoot thoughts I've been looking at this situation as well. If you're still looking, you may want to consider Canon's new A710, announced a month ago. It's very light at 210 grams, and very small, but not so tiny as the SD line, which I find difficult to use for that reason. My wife has the SD500… -

Re: Back Where I Belong with Ann Marie
this is a very nice set...all of them.... I am not going to pick on them as that has already been done. I have loved all of my past and present Sigma Lenses a 24-70f2.8 is a wonderful lens and the Sigma 70-200 is a great lens also ... ... ... I have heard horror stories of bad copies and such, however I have never… -
Re: Color Management ??
She is standing in the shade in a forest - I would expect blue,green tones in this environment. Sky yields blue light ( as in shade ) and green leaves filter in the green light from sunlight. That is how the scene looks, what you are searching for is how you want it to look. I prefer the second image. When I read the pixel… -
America's Most Beatiful Bike Ride
Or how I spent Sunday. Most of you probably know (or you do now :D ) that one of my other hobbies is motorcycles. For the past few years, Lake Tahoe has been the home of America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is probably the biggest single participant in the ride. This year, there were 3,700…
