I'm with Peety on this one, renting some gear might be in your best interest at this time. You seem to be working with quite a budget right now, is this because the wedding is a paid gig for you or...

I have both the 5D II and the 7D and love them both. There are many features of the 7D that I enjoy over the 5D II, such as the improved focusing system, orientation linked focus point, etc...but you...

Neuroanatomist, I generally use my 100-400 for wildlife and outdoor sporting events with good lighting. One of the reasons I want to keep a crop camera is because of that lens...having a 640mm 5.6...

Neuroanatomist, unfortunately I really don't have a lot of fast glass at this time. I use the 24-105 as my general purpose lens, I have a 50 1.4 for low light and moderate length portraits, and then...

Hi all,


I need some advice on what my next purchase should be. I have been debating making the plunge on getting the new 70-200 2.8 II or picking up the 7D. I currently own a 5DmkII and the...

As a general rule, getting quality glass is always the better decision. Do you find yourself always wishing you had more reach in many of your shots? Do you want to be able to shoot some sports or...

Great capture Nate! I always have to wait until the fall or spring to get active lion shots, since they are so lazy during the hot summer months in the Northeast! You always apply just the right...

Really nice pic alexniedra, I concur that it works great as a B&W image. Were you using a fish-eye or something like the 10-22?


It is satisfying when you get nice responses from family and...

Brent,


Overall, some really nice images, I second Sean's opinion on two of his points. The second image is well composed but could use some lightening up in the shadow areas. I personally think...

Sorry, I was just curious if I've met you before at Lawrence General Hospital a few years back that's all... I have actually shot along the Merrimack River before at sunset and the clock tower there,...

Bill, those are some great suggestions for Mark but I think he would run out of time after going over to the Charles River! The Swan boats, which are a highlight of the Public Garden, are generally...

I really wouldn't sweat bringing in the 70-200 f4, especially if you have it ina backpack or toploading holster, security will most likely ask you to open up the backpack, see the camera, which...

I think D-SLR's have become such common place these days that you really shouldn't have any problems (unless your walking around with a 400 2.8 as alexandria said!) I've walked around Boston and have...

Nice shot! Glad to hear your happy with your purchase...happy shooting! Have to start getting into the whole HDR thing myself...

Dallasphotog: I'm still new to the whole wedding shooter thing, I thought that 3 bodies and 2 flashes would be adequate, of course I was wrong. Now I know why people like yourself carry three...

That is funny Ben about the 2.8, I've used it on several occasions and have enjoyed it. I originally was swayed to the f4 IS because of the lighter weight but then I got used to carrying around my...

Nice shot! Like Cian said, is your next purchase going to be a Macro? If you like shooting insects than nothing is going to beat a nice macro! That said, that was a nice capture with kit lens...

Btaylor: Wow, you do act fast! Congrats on your new lens! I think you'll love the new perspective it gives you...looking forward to some pics from it...


Benjamin: No offense taken...You are...

Just curious Benjamin, why do you say that the 24-70 is an optically superior lens? Did you ever have the 24-105?. I have rented the 24-70 on three occasionsand did so because it is a 2.8 but...

It all depends on what is more important to you and what you shoot most. If you really shoot a lot of landscapes then the 10-22 will open up a whole new world for you compared to the 28-135. As a...

I replaced the batteries right away during the event and nothing had changed. I tried again at home and still nothing. The contacts are clean and the weird thing was that the flash was working...

Dragon, Cian has some good suggestions. If you are looking for a one lens solution for the 400D then you should give the 18-200 IS a look. The image quality is not the same as L lenses but it does...

My second shooter was using the camera and he had the 1D III on P, ISO was at 400. I have tried the flash again on my 5D II and 20D, on multiple modes, with different settings and still no dice...I...

To all the excellent problem solvers on this forum, I'm looking for a little insight on why my old Canon 380EX flash has failed. I was shooting a friend's wedding this past weekend and after...
