I agree in some respects to the thinking, Out of Camera is the best philosophy. During shoots I hear, "can you just photoshop that" almost daily. I then inform people, the best philosophy for...

I would say the Nikon D7000 would be a keeper for many years to come. I will also say the lens you are using is going to show lots of problems once you get it on a D7000. You may want to get a...

Agree with original poster 100%. A lens hood not only protects your lens, it increases image contrast. As opposed to front element filters for protection which will afffect image quality and have...

No question. Nikon 85mm 1.4D. And you can probably find a good copy used right now for 25%+ less than list price since some people are upgrading to the new G version. I bought the "D version" on...

I just watched a video the other day where a cheap lens was used with a very expensive camera and very good glass was used with a below $800 camera. The 2nd combo won hands down. Don't worry about...

Quick post before heading to a photoshoot. On the business side of wedding photography. It has been suggested to me that when you set a certain price range for your photography, that is the price...

I have a friend who wanted me to look at some wedding photographers online portfolio's to help him choose. The photog he liked most blew out all of the whites in the portfolio photos so there was...

Damn good heavy lens. The 17-55 2.8 DX lens is a pro level lens and has not been upgraded in many years. I would think this lens would be updated first. The 24-70 2.8 is almost a perfect Digital...

Works OK. Can get uncomfortable on the shoulder after an hour. Don't like the way it balances on my shoulder. I still like the Lowepro slingshot 200 after 4+ years (guess it is the 202 now). It...

There are too many lenses and lens specific issues to make such a wide reaching statement. I only know Nikon lenses. Thought about switching to Canon because of lens choice but the difference...

Sorry, I am in Nikon world (currently D700). I found a linear picture control curve in a UniWB file download or use the Nikon software for creating custom picture controls. You may want to download...

I am going to disagree with the previous poster about lens choice. Just a philosophy difference. When I started photography the advice to never buy the kit lens was a great influence on me. The...

Not a big difference. I use my 10-20 on a tripod. Going from f/3.5 to f/4 is not that big of a deal. f/4 to f/5.6 is more than doubling the amount of light hitting your sensor. But, if you spend...

Have you tried UniWB? It eliminates the White Balance multipliers. If anything, create or download a real linear/flat curve. I shoot Nikon and I found the neutral was not a flat curve. I loaded a...
