I am very interested. Am selling my 24-70 2.8L and want to shoot weddings with this and my 85mm 1.8 with two FF bodies. I am vacillating due to the focusing issues the Sigma 85 and 50 seem to have...

I am very interested. Am selling my 24-70 2.8L and want to shoot weddings with this and my 85mm 1.8 with two FF bodies. I am vacillating due to the focusing issues the Sigma 85 and 50 seem to have...
I haven't seen anyone mention here that the max shutter speed on the 6D is 1/4000 and it looks like flash sync is at 1/180th? I didn't know Canon's would even take an exposure at 1/180th. Maybe...
I have found G+ is another great community for photogs. Are some people from here also on there? Would love to connect.
Hey, I had an idea to make "flash cards" of focal length, aperture, subject distance and DOF (giving 3 and requiring the fourth) to kind of memorize a spectrum of depth of field values that are...
Was at a resort this weekend for my anniversary and was too cheap to pay for internet, so I was a bit delayed, but I have submitted my picks to Sheiky. Apologies in advanced for bloodying the battle...
Great shots, everyone. Keep them coming!
Pepper and Salt!
I saw that you never got feedback on this so I thought I would comment. I know it is hard to second shoot to get great shots, so spend that time trying to learn from the other photographer. Never...
Most of my best travel and landscape pictures occur around the time of sunrise and sunset. I don't know what the permissions are for this location, but I would say that photographically, without...
I like things symmetric or obviously not, so, though the perspective distortion works here, I would correct the slight off-horizontal part and also center the door. I would also like to see a...
I think even the second one is over-processed (of course this is somewhat subjective). Rainbows are exciting and make you want to take pictures, but are hard to get very vibrant in-camera. As...
Thanks for the kind words everyone. I look forward to seeing everyone's pictures for next month.
I actually like the first picture better as the off-center composition and the darker background helps me focus on your son. In the second example, the camera is too bright and I focus on that. ...
Since I've got several positive comments here and elsewhere on the Mesa arch shot, I think I should change that to my "official" submission for this one.
If you search ebay for the Canon version of the item you are interested in, you will see a bunch of versions coming from China with free shipping. I have had positive experiences with lens hoods...
[UPDATE]: I think I will make my second photo below (Mesa Arch Sunrise) my "official" entry for this Assignment.
Here is my entry. The reflection of a bridge in Frankfurt.

I am well entertained, thanks, Daniel.
Atulmehta, I am not entirely sure what you are asking, but I think you may have the wrong idea about how a UV filter protects the lens. It does not protect the lens from UV, but protects the front...
Yes it is. For a recent Taylor photo contest. Unfortunately, I did not win. :(
Here is mine...a twist on "fiddler on the roof"

I would go as wide as you can without running into vignetting or corner softness. If your lens is sharp in the corners wide, then vignetting can be fixed in post anyway. You want to get as much light...
I have the 1.4 and really like it. Not sure how much I would appreciate the extra speed of a 1.2. It would be a safer bet to start with the 1.4 and go to the 1.2 if you had to than to go the other...
Has anyone used the Calumet radio trigger? The transmitter receiver set is $20 off right now ($40), but I don't know if it is any good. I have only used a cactus trigger before and it interfered with...
I feel good that it is still on-par with the 70-200 f/4 IS which I have. As long as I don't need the extra stop, I got the IQ! I think with the 2.8 II will make the extenders much more attractive,...
Peter, I agree with a previous poster that you are focused on the seatbelt in the first picture and on the statue in the second. You need a narrower aperture to get the face in focus and the...
