  1. Re: I wish I had know this before I spent $1300 on a EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM Lens

    I guess the only logical update is to replace medium format with SLR? I mean I don't see a lot of medium format users compared to mainstream SLR and cam fones.





    Eitherway, if cam fones and...

    Canon 580 EXIIs and Alien Bees

    How many 580 EXIIs at full power are needed to produce the same effect as one Alien Bee B800 at full power? I can't seem to find a numerical comparison between the two flashes. I asked that because...
  4. Re: Out of topic but ... breathe control for photography : tips and tricks

    Get a solid footing first. Tuck in your arms closest to your self and hold your breath when you're about to shoot. Relax. Don't anticipate the movement. That's what I do [:D]

    Re: Memory Cards and Image Quality

    Well I've tried Lexar before. No problems with that. My friend who shoots weddings use a Kingston. He said that he needs to wait for the camera to write on the card (buffer speed is a bit slow) when...

    Re: Memory Cards and Image Quality

    Just don't buy those cheapest cards you could find. Some images may be lost when you checked it in the computer. This usually happens when you shoot continuously. I only use Sandisk for my high speed...
  7. Re: Focusing Screens...which is the best & which type?

    If there's one focusing screen I want, it would be the Ef-D grid screen. Helps even out the horizon. Sorry, I don't have the focusing screen as it is hard to find them here in my place.

    Umbrellas and Reflector sizes?

    They say the larger the light source the better. But since I'll be stuck
    with speedlights (580 EXII to be exact), what's the largest
    umbrella/softbox I could pair in with my 580? 43 inch?

    Re: The Lake is FINALLY Thawing!

    Eerie duck eyes [:D] LOL Are they really red? Sorry, I haven't seen that kind of ducks here on the other side of the globe.





    Kidding aside, are these cropped? How far away are you from the...

    Re: Laptop Bag Recommendations

    Great news! I got myself a laptop/camera messenger bag. Though I prefer Think Tank's UD60, she-who-must-be-obeyed prefered I go with the UD50. I apologize for the pics. Taken with my Canon SD940 IS...

    Re: Question for PocketWizard

    From the list the most economical is to use Plus II's. If you want to retain E-TTL info, use a Flex as remote and a Flex/Mini/Plus II as master (budget mode). For top of the line and customizable...

    Re: Laptop Bag Recommendations

    Holy! I'm sold! Those pictures are perfect! I'm drooling right now. There's the laptop, then a gripped body, then a pro lens all in one bag! Never been happier with such images. I'll try to get one...
  13. Re: To Grip Or Not To Grip (Canon BG-E6 Battery Grip)....

    Had the same dilemma before. I had my XT with the 24-70L and 580 EXII. I shoot a lot of portraits before, usually around 200 shots on that day. I don't have the grip on it. At the end of the day, my...

    BTW, are the images working? Seems ok on my end.
  16. My Pocket Wizards Had Arrived! (Image Intensive)

    Just got two PW Flex TT5s added to my arsenal (my first). Never been happier with an off cam flash.



    Here's some sample shots using my PW. Camera is 50D, full manual setting, flash is 580 EXII...

    Jeff, thanks! Too bad I don't plan on getting a Mac but rather a PC, maybe a Sony or Toshiba (lack of budget). From my calculations, Mac is just about 1 inch thick when closed compared to Sony's...

  20. Re: My 1st carbon fiber tripod & ballhead were delivered today!

    A bit OT, but can those snoots used by strobists be used as a beamer?
  21. Re: My 1st carbon fiber tripod & ballhead were delivered today!

    Lovely! I just went to my local photography shop a while ago and saw some Induro heads. I might get one if my Manfrotto 488RC2 gets a bit older or something [:P]

    Agree and disagree





    Agree: You have ISO 3200, ISO 6400 etc etc. Why not use it? We're not limited to ISO 400 of the film age. Grainy? Yes. Picture of a lifetime? Worth it. Plus...

    Re: Underwater Housing for DSLRs?

    Thanks. Though only at 10 meters (roughly 25 feet) at max. I go to depths of 120 feet and this will explode implode halfway down [:D]
