I bought a used 50D. Since I bought it, I've taken over 64K photos. I can't yet access the camera's shutter count--I need to upgrade the OS on my Mac. Sometime next Spring, I should go over 100K, the...

"IMHO, Steve nails its best use: get up close to something interesting, but be able to include a significant amount of background."


Not to be picky, but I don

"I'm primarily into landscapes, so this lens is *probably* a good choice. "


Maybe, but maybe not. Have you used a lens this wide? Landscapes can look terrible, with lots and lots of...

The Canon 8-15 is an entirely different lens: it

Good review. I have a 270EX. that I put to another use that Bryan didn

You really should cut down the photos you post here to no more than about about 800 pixels wide. By forcing the photo into a box, you

@dslegel5151:


Very nice!


Glad to see that someone else gets good use of the 300mm f4L! I got one after my 100-400mm was stolen, as the 100-400mm was just too expensive. (Eventually, I got a...

Perspective has nothing to do with focal length. Consider this: artists have to deal with perspective, but the concept of "focal length" is meaningless to them. Da Vinci was a master of perspective,...

The first photo of Sugden and the shot of Ripley are nice. They

I finally put up some bird feeders in December. The feeders are right outside my office window so that I can see them by turning my head to the right. I keep a Canon S3 IS (superzoom point-and-shoot)...

I have a 17-55 and will get a 15-85, probably in January or February. I used to have a 17-85, but it was stolen (along with a 70-200 f-2.8L IS, 100-400, Sigma 10-20, 100 f2.8 macro, 1.4 extender, & a...

Nice shots, but one suggestion: if you

Actually, no online store "supports this site." B&H and Adorama (and perhaps others) have "associate" or referral programs that give a small reward (i.e., commission) to the owner of a site that...

If you do any sort of photography, but especially outdoor (sports, nature, landscape, etc), check out Outdoor Photo Gear. They are a small company (compared to, say, B&H), but their prices and...

Wow! Imagine being a mouse, skittering around a corner and seeing that face!

Yes, he is, though he's a lightweight compared to my two pets. Each of them weighs about 9 times Sundance's weight. Together, they're about 1.25 tons.

What did I leave out of the previous list? An entire kingdom. (Well, actually at least THREE kingdoms, but I don't have a microscope, so I can't shoot Bacteria or Protists. Some add Archaea as...

Nice shot of the azalea. Water drops on flowers can make them seem more alive.


The grasshopper is interesting! Great way to put a "non-keeper" to good use.


Don't worry...

Nate would also lose autofocus on his 40D with the 500mm f/4L IS & 2x extender. The xxD series won't autofocus at an effective open aperture smaller than f/5.6. A 2x extender would put his 500m to...

It worked! However, I'd suggest that you scale the photos to 800 pixels wide for the Forum.


I also have an S3 IS--it was my second digital camera, after a Canon G2. I used it exclusively for...

Uh, Nate: I'm glad that it's not wild. With only a 200mm lens, if it had been wild, you and your dad might have ended up as dinner. We can't afford to lose you--we'd not get our almost-daily "fix" of...

I can imagine--it's hard enough holding my 100-400mm still. I usually use either a monopod (assuming that I don't have time or the energy to lug a tripod around) if I'm elevated, or a "bean bag"...

Do yourself a big favor and buy at least one more card. 2GB is fine, especially if you don't shoot RAW. You don't want to be out somewhere and either run out of room or have a card fail. Be sure to...

1) I have the same camera and lens. I'd suggest that you check into the "styles" that the 30D offers. You can set saturation, sharpness, contrast, and tint. Try their presets, especially landscape...
