I used to be able to tether my XS to my windows 7 laptop using EOS utility. I don't recall ever having a problem with it, although I didn't do it very frequently.Once the camera is conected, open...

Your first bird is a Snowy Egret, while the second is likely a Double-Crested Cormorant. BIF photography can be a lot of fun, especially when you get a really nice shot, or find a rare bird...Mike

I think a vote system for deciding the best answer(s) to a question would be more appropriate.
1. The original poster doesn't necessarily know what the best answer is (that's why they are asking...

How about Imperfect shots in perfect conditions? I'm great at those... :)This first entry was taken during a trip out west to the Vancouver area and Rocky mountains in British Columbia. It rained...

It appears to be some sort of range finder. I don't have a cat, so no photos from it to share... :) PS. Happy fathers day to all [fathers]...

Hey, I'm not questioning the validity of the entry, but I think this sport is a little too hardcode for me to try :)

Yikes! What kind of sport is this???!

a 15 in display with 2880x1800 resolution will make stuff so small it will be very hard to see, including text. The 1080 resolution on my 16 in laptop is bad enough, this will only be worse...

The tones on this one, especially on the docks, are amazing! Very nice...This one is the least successful for me because it feels like the building on the right is cut offThis is much better, the...

You've got some really nice shots of the falls and T.O. here, I like them a lot. Great use of low shutter speed to soften the water, I like the effect... Were you worried about all the moisture in...

Thanks for the HM WilbaW, and congrats to the winners. I've never been comfortable taking candid/street photos of people and have very few as a result. I'm glad you liked something of mine from an...

I don't do very many candid photos of random people, so I had to dig around through my libraries for a while to find some shots that might apply, and then I tried to take a few more last weekend...

The lens was announced at the same time as the 1100D was back in Feb 2011. If you go to the hub for the 1100D here on DPreview: http://www.dpreview.com/products/canon/slrs/canon_eos1100d you can...

You may wish to consider the EF-S 60mm f/2.8 macro lens if you want the best minimum focusing distance. The focal length isn't that much longer, and I find that I generally need to stop down my...

Interesting idea! I've never tried that. Generally I just rely on zoom lenses, and/or a rough idea of the size/distance of what I want to shoot and attach the lens before I even leave the house.Mike

Congrats to WilbaW on the win. A beautiful collection of photos in this challenge, good job everyone!I should really get a macro lens one day...If I had to do it over I should probably have gotten...

Great shots and story Avyman! The goats have really interesting eyes and crazy sharp horns (I think your wife was smart to stary in the car). You did a great job with the detail on the fur, and...
