  1. Re: 35mm 1.4 L or the 24-70 2.8 L for portraits and weddings?

    You will get better bokeh with the 24-70 over the wider angle any day of the week. It has a minimum focal distance of close to 1ft which will be great for your detail shots also. It is a great lens...

    Images are a little underexposed in my opinion. Also, looking at the bird feeder, I think you either A. missed the focus or B. the lens needs to be adjusted. I think the DOF is...

    Re: Setting my camera up to use a sync chord

    I wouldn't waste your money on a flash meter, I use the histogram primarily on the camera. If you want I will sell you my Sekonic for half off if you want it.... that is if I can find it.

    Re: Portrait Professional?????

    No, it does not do this sort of stuff. This sounds like the liquify tool in PS. This must be a stronger editing software than what I thought, it sounded like a basic editor such as colors, contrast...

    Re: 1D MkIV vs 5D MkII

    I have nothing but praise for the 5DMII, however, there is a shutter lag that would not be good for wildlife photography. I guess it just depends if you are taking action shots or not in my opinion.

    Re: Testament to Canon L Glass

    My shelf broke and dropped my 70-200 and cracked the uv filter and nothing else. Still shoots like a champ. I almost cried when it happened. Glad to hear it is still working.

    Re: canon 85 1.8 vs canon 50mm 1.4

    I don't have the 80 1.8, but have heard nothing but praise for it. My friend has one on a 1.6 crop and has taken some awesome pictures. However, I use the 50 1.4 almost as much as the 24-70 and have...

    gotcha, pocket wizard would be the most ideal situation then, but that is an expensive way to go.

    Re: White balance

    Thanks, I have thought about getting a blue gel to bring it up to around 5200k but you lose about 60% of the light source. I will try that, but I was wondering if there were any post production tips...

    Re: Which length flash cord?

    I use a 5ft cord and have not had a problem with length while in the studio, a 10ft might be more appropraite if you take your studio lighting to weddings.

    I would spend my money on specialty items last, get the general purpose stuff first that has multiple uses.
