Thanks Micheal, I'll try this in PS.  Something tells me I'll be using at least a UV on the 17-55 based on it's storied history of sucking in dust. The 70-200 is built like a tank. Thanks again for...

Phill, You've got some great shots here, Thank you. I'm very pleased with the speeds you've been shooting with and F-Stop, as they freeze almost all the water and that's very important for me.  You...

Vlab,   Thanks for the post. I've been plying with tons of filters for the past two days.  Trying to get as close as possible without changing color.  Not easy, but I'm getting there!!!

Anyone have experience shooting at 200mm+ above 1000 with objects moving really fast over the water? Since I can't swim out and use my light meter or ask wind surfers to hold my color checker...

You're a good man... You'll find your way around your camera as you've alrady figured out life!

Lightroom seems to have lost it's lead and opened the market.

I'd say Lightroom needs to send updates to it's users ASAP but ALL they do is push their NEW ver of LR and leave their ENTIRE...

Never read about this thanks!  I'll look into it!  :)

Here are shots at a high F stops above f/11 in very bright sun near where I'll be shooting.  Granted they are not with the 70-200 but with the 17-55.. BOTH are pretty fast 2.8 lenses Shooting...

ISO 6400! <ROFL>

Just a thought...  Why not shoot in JPEG and Raw.  You can have varied references for PP.  At times "The Perfect" WB and Color are not what you want from a creative perspective depending on what...

That was fun to read. Thank you!

TonyJr, I hear you! I got a bag for the beach, a Petrol that allows me to just open a flap to get to the 7/D w/ the 70-200 and a large hood.  However, I'll be using a lens hood that screws into the...

Hi Jeff, I was using that as Min. starting point.   Thanks for having my back! TVSTAFF  :)

Olsem007, Thank you for your note. If the 77mm B&W F-PRO C-POL Kaesemann MRC will do, then I'm set. What I find so interesting is your statement about shooting above f/11 w/the 70-200 f/2.8 USM IS...

TT, I have a B&W F-PRO - 77 KSM Kaesemann C-POL MRC, will this do or is there a better one I should buy? Thank you. TV

I'll be shooting from the beach on a raised platform a wind surfing contest in Aruba.  Canon 7D w/70-200.  The sun will be BRIGHT, GLARING, OFF THE CHART SUN. Should I use a B&W UV Filter? ND? or...

I don't think some people know the basis or founding of the term "men who eat quiche". It was from the metrosexual debate that started many years ago about the feminization of the male. Nothing to...

Thanks but I'm looking for a softbox....

I'm looking for a Softbox for a 580 EX II.  Wondering if anyone here is very happy with a product they own   Thank you, TVSTAFF

Steve, I just created SpyderCheck profiles for color and exposure.  Would you look at these three photos and tell me which one you feel has a better balance of color and exposure and a min. amount...
