The 500mm f4 is probably your best bet. Probably with a tele converter (1.4x) The shuttle is REALLY far away from where people are allowed. However, metering is going to be tricky, spot metering in...

Get some broad shots, and get some shots of people looking bored, or really into it, get some shots using depth of field, with all the people in a row. Variety. Don't use the flash, except maybe once...
i would suggest some of the Dell monitors. They are very well manufactured and i found mine to be pretty close to spot on as to color.
why on earth would you travel with a shotgun? This isn't meant as an offending question, just brute curiousosity!
The optical design is first and foremost the deciding factor being bokeh. The camera to subject and subject to background distance ratio also plays an important part. Lens coatings play a part,...
For clarification's sake, do you mean the 17-55 f2.8 IS USM or the 18-55 f3.5-5.6 IS?
You can get a good computer (dual core CPU with a big hard drive and a few gigs of memory and Vista or XP) for about 500-600 bucks. Get Adobe Photoshop CS3 or CS4 and you're set. You can use bridge...
1D bodies are only a good investment if you either make money from yor photography or if you buy them used. I would always go with last generation's 1D series rather then the latest 40D , 50D or...
I find it funny that after saying you'll be mounting a 500mm that you bother to even mention the extra 200 ounces of a flash. I would go with wimberly ball head and a realyrightstuff bracket and legs.
i don't understand, what are we comparing these shots too? Are you claiming that firmware 1.0.6 has increased high ISO perforance? I don't mean to sound facetious, but what am I missing, did i...
I forgot to mention, this basic mount works perfectly with any lens that has an aperture ring, but G lens do not work (they automatically stop down). Many EOS users have craved the Nikon 14-24 f2.8 G...
The adapters are a male EOS mount on one end and a female Nikon F (or Leica R or whatever) mount on the other end. It just so happens that the eos mount is large enough in diameter that many lens are...
The 85mm is a bit of a let down, it's the same design they've been recycling forever, I do know of a couple of photographers that have sold their 85mm f1.2 for the Zeiss though, they like the way it...
Very good, I dig it! Very nice use of the rule of thirds, iw ould take it one further by placing the horizon at a third as well, I'd love to see some headshots taken in that light.
More so than the sharpness of this lens, which some how found to be better, others not as good, and assuming one gets a good copy that does not have AF issues, I find that the way this lens draws is...
Wow Daniel,
That is a great response, thank you so much. I do shoot raw so I'm confident to here that the tones will match, but the 2 elements you adress after, the contrast and the aliasing...
I currently own a 5D and a 28-70 f2.8, 17-35 f2.8, and a sigma 12-24 f4.5-f5.6. I absolutly love my 5D, espiecially the colors and tones i get out of it, i know it's not the greatest way to describe...
What camera are you shooting, are you shooting at high ISOs often? If you find yourself often with too much noise, i would consider a faster lens or a flash or a better camera, most of the software...
i would suggest a 50mm f1.4 as well, however, i would suggest the Sigma 50mm simply because it's bokeh, is sublime. Regardless of what anyone says, portraits vary too much for one lens to be the...
I'd like to see a nicer viewfinder and a miniature vertical grip available... Something that doesn't turn the camera into a tank but allows for shotting portraits.

beautiful light on a crappy day.

That looks superb. The 1D III really doesn't get much attention when it comes to high ISO noice because the D3 was such a monster, but it's damn good... I would shoot at 6400 anytime, and it's very...
