So I screwed up last night and left my camera outside, and of course it rained a bit this morning before I realized where I left it. My camera is a Rebel XS with a Tamron 28-75 2.8 lens and battery...

Not long after I made my first post on this thread, I got to thinking about KR and realized he's sort of the Howard Stern/Rush Limbaugh of <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]photography...

You have to consider the source. Ken Rockwell seems to make his living by making huge, bold statements that tend to fly in the face of, well, just about everyone and everything. I enjoy his website...

That's funny. About a month or so ago, I quit carrying my camera bag *and* my son's diaper bag, and just started tossing my XS right in the diaper bag, right next to the wipes and the change of...

I've got a couple of questions for you, Fast Glass: do you use a MF focusing screen, and do you have to have sometype of converter to use manual lenses? It was my understanding that FD lenses just...

Super cool! Thanks for sharing that link. I can't believe how many timesI had really take a second and look hard to be sure I was looking at a model and not a real car!

That sure is an impressive peak you're sitting on, especially without a rope and harness! 14000ft+? Very nice.

My wife worked there in the early 2000's. You didn't think you're the only person in the area taking photos, did you? [:P]

Whose image are you refering to? I looked back over them all, andmattsartin posted one with mirrors in the background, but other than that, I didn't see any with a chrome background. I'm pretty sure...

This is a photo my wife took of me and my son, I think in early November.

For a photo with nothing but on board flash, I think it's fantastic MrGreenBug. I especially like how the subject's left side forehead is completely blacked out. I always like that look in a...

Thanks Daniel, that clears a lot up. I thought I read all of the posts leading up to mine pretty thoroughly, but I guess I missed that you guys were talking about noise.





No, that's ok. I...

Number 4 is my favorite because there is simply nothing in the background but the lines of color! Simply amazing panning job! Very nice photos!


Lewis

There was a thread a while back that talked about how DOF changes with a crop body, along with focal length, and I understood that, but you're now saying that it affects shutter speeds and total...

I've never used either lens, but I vote for the 17-55/2.8 anyway. Everyone seems to love it, and only sell it when they upgrade to full frame. It often retains 80% of it's value. The used marked...

kitaoka, thank's for sharing these photos, they are awesome! The second photo really draws me in, and I'm having a hard time moving on from it. I love how the man in it is... almost not really even...

I use liveview all the time without a tripod -- just hold it up in front of your face like those dorky digicam users! You'll get funny looks from everyone, but I shot a six-digit wedding (ice...

I've only used live view once (and the 10x magnification), and I loved it! But, I was making a still life photo, which I never do, and was using a tripod, which I never do. If I ever start to use a...

My 50/1.8 pretty much never leaves my camera, so I got pretty excited about the talk of a 35/1.8 with similar IQ and price. The more I got to thinking about it though, the difference between 50mm and...

Thanks for the EXIF / lens data. Those are some amazing shots! I didn't realize the 1d3 had such good high ISO capability. I guess it's been out long enough that nobody really talks about it much...

I agree, those are some amazing shots! I think #5 is my favorite. Congrats! Would you mind posting some EXIF data?


Lewis

Almost all of the photos I take are with my 50/1.8II, indoors,of my 1 year old son. I typically use f2 to f2.8, and I handle the thin DoF by not looking at 100% crops. If it looks good on my screen,...

Well, Denise mentioned that she doesn't like the sharpness of the photos. The first one is just a bit soft, and the second and fourth are softer. I'm not experienced enough to know if the issue is...

Denise,


You're shooting with a very long telephoto lens, and with the extention and crop body, it is very, very long! The 35mm equal would be a 670mm lens, if my math is right. That would mean...

I hope your wife doesn't read this site! Very funny!
