Also let one go for $1,500 on Craig's - 10/10 glass and body, and the usual minor scratches on the hood like yours. Basically went 300mm prime.

This one is particularly interesting, awesome background on all:

Paper creases easily, but requires less support. It is also cheap enough to cut off damaged sections for fresh shoots. Vinyl is more durable, a longer term solution IMO and the glossy reflections at...
24-105mm gets my vote, even though I no longer own the lens (went 16-35 this time due to limited availability of the 24-105) the keeper ratio is high and versatility per pound excellent. Have fun &...
That sounds like High Speed Sync has toggled off, perhaps after a sleep mode.. IME the IR system works fine in a small studio, outside you will soon go crazy or buy triggers. -S
A full flash dump may be the result of poor IR communication between Master & Slave, or sometimes just cycling through the modes and or restarting the flashes and camera seems to reset ETTL II...
Wow, F up round here & get quoted up the A! The oatmeal & beer were delicious BTW - Thanks.
I read it twice, but with my bad eye. My good eye was making oatmeal. Congratulations you're still the top forum nerd. -S
Find the external speedlight control (typically the 3rd utility tab) in your menu, and you should find options for HSS 1st or 2nd curtain. In theory as I do not have much time with the 7D and have...
I would get the body & a 50mm f/1.8 AND 85mm f/1.8 - Now I don't expect a newish photographer to understand that advice, but if you want sharp images and the ability to open up the aperture for...
Hhmmn,, saw this in the review:
All three copies of the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Lens I have used
to date show more CA (Chromatic Aberration) than the older 85 L.
And my 85 f/1.8 shows...
Here is one I did with the 5DmII last year. Turned out it was a wake for a popular local skater. Mind your speaker volume. -S
Hey Bill W, my hummer was visiting a banana flower, complete with immature naners here in San Diego. BTW - I got full flaps @ 1/200th, so you must be recording several cycles. Kewl concept, looking...
Lovely girl, shot and moment. That said you have both the very thin DOF of f/2.8 and a relatively long exposure of 1/200th working against you.
f/5.6 1/400th ISO 600 (or 800) for example would...
Shot through a chain link fence, thus the diamond bokeh. Point was to utilize the golfer without revealing identity. f/4 1/800th ISO 200

I bought a Velocity 8X (tamrac) and a Ladies Backpacking Belt from REI,... cut the lame 1 inch belt off the Velocity, and carefully stuffed the much more adequate hip belt through the factory pouch...
A circuit through the tee seems workable for the flash.. Personally I like to build little gizmos and would look for kit or design a solution to trip the shutter ahead of the strike and let HSS...
Your GF took your 5DmkII for the weekend!!! Sounds like a love triangle to me, I'm not sure I could be so strong given those circumstances.

Sean I could have easily kept the light off the ground sans studio modifiers, for me it is a very satisfying capture as is. I DID want to light the distant ridge line in white light and with the...
Thanks Denise, I'm still recovering from laughter here! In part because I was a little on edge with critter sounds myself and also from imagining your backyard crash test. Thanks for your comments...
Sure no problem.. I had 4 580exII's and one ST-E2 master unit all equipped with RadioPoppers. For this shot I used just 2 flashes, the blue flash was on a light stand at full height - maybe 10 feet...
In case you missed this in my Popper Post, here is a shot I captured late Wed (July 07 2010) after escaping the thick cloud layer on the coastline. f/2.8 20 seconds ISO 1600 - 1/4 flash power. Hope...
Clouds on the coast drove me to where the streets have no name. Loving the freedom to light as I wish. -S
