  • Replied in Wedding on a "budget"
    Nice way to see your customers ? You are a buyer in this world, you always lie ? -- I measure my success in life not by my awards, but by the amount of smiles, hugs and kisses I get from my...
  • Replied in White T-shirts in bright sunlight
    I would have opened the aperture, f/18 is way to small, it makes your DOF to deep, and everything in the image is in focus, had you brought it down to perhaps f/2.8, you would have got a better...
  • Replied in More soccer pics
    VERY nice ! Thanks for sharing Donald ! -- I measure my success in life not by my awards, but by the amount of smiles, hugs and kisses I get from my family on a daily basis !
  • Replied in pls suggest me!
    Hard to tell you how useful this kit will be, when we don't know what you'll shoot and in what conditions. Bernard -- I measure my success in life not by my awards, but by the amount of...
  • Replied in One lens for beginner semi-pro?
    I agree with the lens suggestions you got. As far as the limited capital and you should toss the idea of starting a business, I disagree, what I did for a year and a half, is rent a Canon 70-200...
  • Replied in Choice of Lens for sports
    To piggy back on what you are saying, and kinda repeat what Boomanbb said, I also own the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 II IS USM, and it's the last piece of camera equipment I'd sell, simply love the...
  • Replied in My first try at soccer..
    I hear you, and with a minimum focal length of 140mm, on a crop camera, you would also miss action closer to you, I guess it's a trade, a decision you have to make. It's just that I don't see...
  • Replied in My first try at soccer..
    Why add a teleconverter ? Isn't his shots cropped enough ? The first picture even has the kid's head cut off ? Nice shots, and I like the colours in them, except the cut off head in the first...
  • Replied in Choice of Lens for sports
    How's the AF speed under low light though ? Is it good ? I don't know, just asking. Cheers, Bernard -- I measure my success in life not by my awards, but by the amount of smiles, hugs and...
  • Replied in Photo Resolution
    What camera was used is irrelevent at this point, you have a file that contains an image, it is about how much information is in that file. If I take a raw photo from my Canon 40D, and convert...
  • Replied in Best compact system camera for sports photography (and holiday snaps)
    I don't think any of these system offer a lens like a 70-200 f/2.8, and to me that is a must for any sports photography, especially when low light is involved, even an aperture of f/2.8 isn't fast...
  • Replied in Choice of Lens for sports
    I never tried myself the Sigma, but if I was you, I'd go with the Canon, if you can get to a store qherw they have the Sigma in stock, go and try out, pay attention to the speed of the AF to see if...
  • Replied in Auto ISO is so confusing!
    What mode was the camera in when your friend shot from a moving car? If it was on auto, or aperture prority, it is possible that the camera sensed high speed as you were driving by, and that it...
  • Replied in freemont ca.
    I realize this is a photography forum, but a few words goes a long way ;) I'm not sure if you want comments, if you're trying to display an issue or what. But if I could provide a couple...
  • Replied in Macro Focusing Frustrations
    I own a 40D, my only body actually, and when I shoot in manual AF I half press the shutter as I manually focus, and get an audible and visual confirmation when I'm focused, works well for...
  • Replied in 60d + action shots at local NBL finals game
    Hi Rick, I'm not sure what body you're using, but forget Scott Kelby's advice of ISO 640, if you're taking sports shots inside, crank it up, Scott had a fast lens when he mentioned this tip, you...
  • Replied in 60d + action shots at local NBL finals game
    Nice work. One comment, is I would have slowed the shutter a bit, to get a bit of blur in the wheels, to add a sense of movement, but that's just me !? Bernard -- I measure my success in...
  • Replied in Delete / format and rescue...
    For recovering files, even after formating 5 times via my camera, while doing a demo of the application to my students, it has yet to fail me, very powerful, scary powerful! PhotoRec -...
  • Replied in Prom Shoot with 60D
    Very nice pictures, my favourites are the last two ones. As for the mail box, as oppose to work on your Photoshop skills, you just need to get used to notice these things as you're taking the...
  • Replied in Q: which photo sharing site is better?
    I've personanlly have chosen to host my pictures, on my host, that way, unless I go bankrupt myself, the site will always be up and running. I use WordPress as a platform, and I use WP Photo...
