Yes, this. OP is not asking about a dodge, they are asking about something that is standard practice in many countries: that if you are not using the product domestically, you don't need to pay ...

I'd usually agree with you on free services, but I think the big issue here is the lack of any advance notice. If someone has been blogging for years, or a forum has lots of educational links, and...

The best solution is situational. The risk with auto-anything in concerts is worst with colored lighting. One of R/G/B can be badly blown out, but the camera's averaged histogram, and its exposure ...

Lots of good suggestions here on ways to generally improve sharpness. But... I have a 5DIII, I get shots sharper than this out of unmodified RAWs. So that discounts theories involving a need for ...

As Henrik suggests - maybe there's another problem with the setup? I shoot 85L (v2) + 5D3 all the time, and I haven't found anything unreliable about my AF. It's slow - which the 85L is known for ...

Could also be a firmware update to a chip not accessible through the external ports. All just speculation. But agreed, video speed processing could require an actual hardware tweak. It's an ...

Cool hint of things to come! Deep learning could open up some amazing next-level image processing, glad they are exploring this.

> Why should the taxpayers be on the hook? Let the violators pay the full extent of the cost of restoration.

Sure, when possible. But that's a really simplistic view. In many cases the vandals...

Many thanks to those posting new info, and to Doug for letting me know the thread was active again! The improvements in race tagging in the past few years are a big help. But the proliferation of ...

Beyond the gear and basic photo skills, there's telling a story. Not many of us get to that level. Von Wong is exploring that space and makes really dramatic images. Always a treat to see his work!

VadymA, I'm guessing you are unfamiliar with crowdfunding sites? IndieGoGo/Kickstarter are used to pitch an idea that needs funding, to present why you'll succeed, and to offer investors a reward...

Hello dylan81. Sounds like a good approach, that avoids the issues I was thinking of. And with the shooting speed and aperture you mentioned, there shouldn't be any risk at all of movement of ...

It's low contrast, but it doesn't seem particularly out of focus... how did you focus and in what mode? If you leave AF point selection up to the camera, or focus-and-recompose using the center ...

Sorry to see they didn't make it, it was a cool idea.

There's a lot of uninformed griping in these comments about this being a "ripoff". They tried and failed, that's not the same thing as being a...

I'd ditto James's recommended categories. Season to taste on the particular focal lengths. (1) Wide zoom for landscapes (2) Medium prime for luaus/evening

35mm is pretty wide unless you're shooting the whole stage and are close... How close will you be? And who the heck are 'those neon guys'? The main things to watch for in on-stage dance ...

Amazon description specifically says "USB powered -no power supply necessary".

I set AF-ON to focus lock (i.e., the default shutter half-press still focuses, but if I want to focus and recompose I can then hold AF-ON). Suits my shooting better than back button focus would. On ...

Yes, exactly right. And Yosemite Valley is steep and narrow, so good light occurs in different areas for different, small windows of time (and only when the weather cooperates). If I could get a ...

To be honest, I didn't end up with anything I was particularly happy with. Yosemite is distractingly pretty, when I got home my compositions and the times of day I shot were not compelling. I ...
