I once heard charge whatever you can with a straight face and that's the price you are worth.
Whether you have to do this to feed your kids or how much you think your time and talent are worth...
Not sure what is regrettable in the advancement in technology. It's like saying it is regrettable the mailmen are losing their jobs to emails so email is a bad thing.
Good focusing and exposure...
Great shots, Justine. Just wondering how do you get around the problem of using zoom lens in M mode. You need to reset the shutter speed when you change focal lenght right?
I agreed with what you are saying Justin and I think in your case where it makes perfect sense to use the M mode.
In this day and age most people use the M mode by looking at the metering pointer in the viewfinder, start when the pointer is in the center, take a shoot, check the LCD and then adjust the exposure....
I think in modern digital camera shooting in M vs in Av, TV or P are very much the same thing. Because even in M, you still rely on the metering but you can lock down the shutter speed, aperture and...
A crop body is the best 1.6 TC that you lose not IQ to get. If I have a FF body, I'll just pick up a used crop body for less than $500 and won't bother with the TC. If I'm using a crop body, chances...
It'll be interesting to seehow much better the new 70-300mm Lwill be over the 70-300 DO in terms of IQ. Since Canon slaps the L lable on the new 70-300, it should be better than the DO. But would it...
I have a FF and a crop body and I had the 17-55mm for a while but sold it because it won't fit on a FF body. The 17-55 is a great lens if only you can look past the build quality for this $1000 lens....
Manufacturers will soon abandone quoting the actual pixel count and go with something like this camera has a "E6600 Extreme" sensor when they couldn't increase pixel count anymore. It'll probably...
Thanks for all these replies. To make it clear, I'm a guy with a regular day job trying to pick up photography as a hobby. To this couple, it is between me and Uncle Bob holding a point and shoot...
That's very good advice. I always try to scope out the location I'll be shooting in before D-day.

Just got my second job shooting a small private wedding in a community hall. My main gear will be the 1Ds2 + 24-70 f2.8L + 580EXII.
I've never been to that community hall and my guess is that it...
Absolutely fantastic quote. I may have to steal that one from time to time...

If you buy the 7D, sell the 28-135 for maybe $350, and the 50D for maybe $600, the 7D will only cost you $450 to upgrade. This is the way I think about it.
I've got a theoretical question about average and good lens. Let's compare the kit 18-55 lens and the premium 17-55 f/2.8lens.
My question is thatin landscape shooting when small apertures are...
Could you please elaborate what do you mean bythe f/2.8 is not very useful on a FF body and the f/4.0 is barely usable?
Beg to differ. I'm in the oil and gas business and whenever and wherever we drill we have only 10% to 30% chance of finding a production well. And we set up all these different companies drilling in...
Wow, that's a great site, thanks a lot.
Thanks, Ralph. Would you suggest shooting jpeg or raw for events like this? I will bring two bodies, a FF with the 24-70 for some wide to medium wide shots and a crop body with the 70-200 f2.8 is for...
Just got my first job shooting a local charity triathlon event. I won't get paid for this but the organizer says they will post my pictures on their website and direct people to buy prints form me....
Oh, just found out that the 1Ds MKii doesn't have auto ISO. I blew a few shots going from indoor to outdoor without changing ISO as I'm used to having auto ISO. I guess this will force me into the...
Just wanted to report back on this deal as I went through with it. The two L lenses are in pristine condition 9.5/10 by my book and from the date codes of the lenses, they were purchased together...
