I'm not very sophisticated, so I only mean be careful to set between sunny, cloudy, and shade as necessary.Also, I would recommend bracketing the exposure. I normally have best results using...

Nice, especially the first one. It helps tell the story of a lot of balloons and the difficulty getting up in the air.

It's refreshing to see such a nice gallery rather than a bunch of people arguing about DOF, Bokeh, CA, blah, blah, blah.These pictures are incredible. I don't know if I feel qualified to offer any...

I really like the one looking up into the balloon. You mention that the balloons were having trouble clearing the tree line, did you get any close up shots of that?

It depends.

A couple things of the top of my head: keep the sky to a minimum on days where it is too white/grey make sure you adjust the white balance correctly limit shots of distant items (either...

I would put a diffuser on the flash, put the flash on the camera, set the flash to -.3, set the wb to flash, use P mode, use matrix metering and shoot. Unless the ceiling is low and white I...

Without seeing your image, I would guess it is overexposed.Back when using slide film, I bracketed my sunsets. Depending on other circumstances, underexposure of .5 to 1 stop generally produced...

For a cruise, we always take at least one extension cord. Not only gives you up to 3 outlets, but provides flexibility if the outlet is under the desk or behind something. Also, I learned on our...

I just got a black rapid strap a few months ago and lugged my D90 with 18-200 all over Paris. This may not be relevant because I don't think the weight come close to a D800 with grip.However, a few...

I haven't seen an Olympus XA in 30 years. That was (is) quite a camera.What flash are you using on the EPL2?

The only thing I will add is if you want to get close up shots at the zoo, sea world, or along the coast, you might consider having the 70-300 available (but not carry it daily).

Definitely consider a black rapid strap. I walked around Paris back in April with a D90 and 18-200 on a black rapid strap. Hardly knew it was there until I needed it and then it was quick to get...

I keep them in another bag. I have collected a few bags over the years. Never had a problem with humidity but I live in a dry climate.

I keep saying I would take a 12-60/4 in a heartbeat or a consumer grade 14-75. The 12-50 does not give me enough reach beyond my kit lens to make it worth the $$ to me. A 12-60/2.8-4 would be nice...

I wouldn't spend any money changing to a different lens. After reading reviews of the new 85/1.8G, I actually bought an 85/1.8D because it was not worth even $1 more to me to get the G. Then again...

For those who don't read all the posts in a thread, yes there is a higher chance that your electronic lenses will fail due to some sort of electrical issue sooner than an old manual lens.This issue...

Massengill, first of all you should review someone's posting history before accusing them of trolling. Secondly you must not have been paying...

I thought I saw on another thread that the D7000 isn't a very good camera because if you use the A-mode at the widest aperture and spot metering on a very heavily backlit subject that the subject...

I still don't understand how something that benign on a 100% view negatively impairs your photography.Did you make any prints? Do you have the ability to walk closer to your subject to avoid the...
