The website looks fine. But I wanted to hit on the over-exposures of 10-48. Your camera looks to be taking those nice dark trees into account when setting the exposure. Normally I'd recommend using...

Also worth noting is the latest version of DPP has a much more powerful noise reduction than previous versions. Just go to a newer Canon model support page to get it. For example, on the version that...

Automatic Noise Reduction (should be in the Custommenuu)also helps with any lingering hot pixels in long exposures. The camera will take the picture, then the sensor will expose with the shutter...

This is the Bee Assassin and it's prey.


Taken with a Canon XTi, Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro at 1/200 F14, ISO 100, Metz Mecablitz 48 AF-1 Flash at +2 FEC (should have been +3) and Lumiquest Promax...

The bracket is nice to get the flash way from the camera to virtually eliminate any red eye, as well as to keep the shadows from looking so close to the subject. I love my Lumiquest Promax Softbox,...

The RGB tab is the only option when you don't shoot RAW. As you've seen, you get all three tabs wuth RAW editing. I've found ways to juggle with settings between both. I've found the Tone Curve...

Oops.. The Canon XTi

I'll be doing some experimenting once my flash comes in in a few days. But in the meantime, does anyone have any practical experience using the different flash metering modes?

Don't know about Vivitar, but I have a Metz 48 AF-1 on the way from Amazon ($205 with rebate until 4/30). E-TTL, and powerful.

I ordered the Metz Mecablitz 48 AF-1 yesterday.


The final determining factor was having the 7 degree tilt-down for macro at that price point (on top of the rest of the reviews, write-ups, and...

I shoot with my glasses on, and both eyes open (right eye to viewfinder). My left eye's focus gets messed up using the camera with it closed, and even with it open (but minimized). If I did not wear...

Is there anyone out there who has used the Metz 58 or 48 AF-1?

Anyone have experience in "other than Canon" flashes?


I've read about some of Metz's features: USB connection to update firmware, no batteries necessary in flash to use external power pack, nice...

I've been using the 540EZ on manual mode, tilted down with a Pro-Max Softbox. I'm thinking that because the 430EZ is shorter, the tilt-down function may be irrelevant.


Also, the 580EX is out of...

Thanks!

Awesome! How far away were you?

Patience. You've been cleared for the 1.4!

Closed on Purim? Not exactly a high holiday. But there is alot of drinking , so maybe it's for the best!

Where's the virtue in simply buying cheaper?


Think of the manly sacrifices you could make for the better lens!
