Myer

Some years ago I decided to do a little test. Afterall, we always learned that the lower the ISO the better. What I found is your best friend is a properly exposed image. I shoot dance, hockey, ...

I didn't read all of the posts so it's possible somebody else suggested the same thing. If you shoot in Tv or Av mode you will have 2 variables and someone else is deciding what to do. The first ...

Good shots. The ideal would be if you could get all four feet off the ground. Then as a previous poster wrote it's then more exciting if they're rounding the bend, coming towards you  and a bit of ...

ISO 100 and f3.2 You have no depth of field. Try ISO 200 and maybe shutter speed of 1/320 though I prefer 1/400. And not just lack of depth of field. You are out of the sweet spot of that lens by far.

I agree with jvc. The 24-105 is basically a 15-85 for full-frame camera. I have the 15-85 and it's the closest thing to an "L" lens without being one. Most people don't realize it, especially when ...

Before you start replacing equipment, decide what aspect you would like to improve. You didn't tell us that. If you're cropping your images too much then a longer lens will help. If your ISO is too ...

If I remember correctly, the 17-55 weighs a ton making it a bit awkward as a travel, walkaround lens. Also, if all you're carrying on a trip is one lens, it's great to have that 15 on the short end ...

This is a great lens. Sharp wide open and closed down. Sharp at widest and longest. The closest thing to an "L" lens without being one. When I travel, unless wildlife is involved, I only take this ...

As I wrote, I very seldom use flash. Also, I was shooting in a concert-type hall with very high ceiling and I was more or less 20-40 feet away. I really wasn't in a position to document everything ...

I went from a T2i to a 70D. I liked the single point center focus better on the T2i than my current 70D. I liked the bounce flash capabilities of the T2i over my flawed 70D. Granted newer bodies ...

Don't get into the habit of shooting birds at such slow shutter speeds.

Mark & Lemmings, I took quite a few photos over the past few days ans many were bounced. I was using anything from manual flash to ETTL and FEC of anywhere from +1/3 to plus 2 or more. The FEC ...

Thanks. When I first complained not long after buying the 70D the responses were "it's doing what it's supposed to". Now that I'm revisiting at least you suggest a work-around. Thanks. I'll look ...

When you go on a trip, return and review your photos and find that the photos just don't really look like what it is you saw, it's because what your eye saw and what your lens saw just aren't the ...

Backup a few years. Prior body was a Rebel T2i. I bought one of those LightScoop reflectors to use with bounce flash using the onboard flash. Results were excellent. Then I bought a 70D. First ...

I had a similar experience many years ago. I walked into a store and played with a Canon and Nikon camera. The Canon was much more comfortable in my hand. Also, except for the advent of digital ...

1DX, Thanks. I haven't been out photographing birds in a while. This spring I concentrated on horse jumping and polo in Wellington (the equestrian capital of the U.S.) and kite boarding on the beach. ...

Big difference between 15 and 18 on the wide side.

I have to say the 15-85. I'm on my 3rd one and it's the closest thing to an "L" lens. It's sharp long and wide. It's sharp wide open and closed down. The only time I carry one of 70-300L or ...

Yes, roped. That's obviously not what I meant. I was at the Icefield Center twice. Once on a trip with a friend when we focused on Glacier NP and just spent two days (very hectic and well-planned) ...
