I've started with zooms at the beginning of my photographic experience, trying desperately to cover as much focal length as possibe :) Then I discovered quality lenses (L) and started investing...

I am personally worthless at cooking food :) Lucky me my wife is much much better than me ;) Agreed. And I have nothing against people choosing to shoot JPEG... But it does irk me when JPEG...

Hopefully you are not implying that RAW shooters (such as me) are not interested in capturing images... because in that case I'd have to disagree with you, since that's my aim. I've simply chosen...

I will not go against the others here :) I am just not sure: will you be the main photog or not? if not, then it's not big deal: have fun, capture fun / quirky moments and any good photo you will...

Mike, I start merge to hdr pro from bridge and if you have the history window open in CS5 it will show that it does align the layers after loading up all the images. it does so without asking...

PS CS5 does align for HDR automatically. The only thing that you need to choose is if you want it to try to de-ghost or not, which deals with subjects moving. Of course both aligning and...

True, but then the choice is between capturing a hazy, soft-ish shot or not capturing it at all. What is more important? Only you can decide. It also depends on the regulations of the parks...

Congrats :) I've been in Kenya and South Africa and loved the safari experiences! All good but I think that 300mm (200x1.5) is a bit on the short side. Typically you'll need up to 400mm, which...

OK sorted the formatting... Well, you did not criticize me, you just "put me down", to use your own words - maybe because I do not use a Sony camera? that was after accusing me of not...

I agree it's a beautful photo, the lightning and colours are very nice. I love this kind of shots, as you can see here in one of...

That's rich coming from you -- Ciao! Roberto My photos: http://www.robertodemicheli.com

Whatever - feel free to ignore me, as I will ignore you -- Ciao! Roberto My photos: http://www.robertodemicheli.com

I have clearly not said that - I have said that if image A needs some post to look as good as image B, then image B can be made to look even better with a similar amount of post. Moreover, while...

I will start with saying that I am a Canon shooter (5D mkII) and that I am way too invested in the system to consider switching. But I've been lurking here for a while since the A77 does intrigue...

How much? -- Ciao! Roberto My photos: http://www.robertodemicheli.com

The Canon one has IS, Nikon one has not ? The Nikon 135 is a pro lens and should be compared with the 135 f/2L The Canon lens will be more versatile because of the built-in TC ? What about the...

Under the assumption that noise and DR are not worsened Not only that: CPU and memory requirements go up as well. Disks are easy to swap and chep to buy, but changing CPU and adding RAM may...

Thanks for the correction - I have a 430EX mkI and did not know of the differences with the mkII version. Then I guess PC sync plug and power are the main differences, since I (and the OP) use...
