1 definitely looks like Gaussian blur was added in to my eyes. Not so much critiquing as a negative, as just asking, because you said you only make minor tweaks in lightroom, and I never really...

I've never used the 80-200 but the 70-200 paired with the multicam fx3500 AF 3d tracking works awesome. Just saying.[/QUOTE]

If the 70-200 was built like the 80-200, didn't have the focus...

yes, I think something this thread points out is that there, in some ways, isn't a such thing as 'DoF'. There is an exact plane (well, a curved plane) that is exactly in focus, and everything...

The 2-ring 80-200 should be fine for you. The only time I have a problem with the 2-ring on my D7000 is when I wan to quickly make large focusing changes. It typically works plenty fast enough to...

You do realize that due to ToS agreements, even when you buy something up front, you don't "own it" any more than if you pay monthly. The only difference is that you currently pay your monthly...

I think Adobe has already decided they're not going to be able to compete on the low end with Aperture, Nik, etc over the long run. In many ways it seems like it's a repositioning of CS into a new...

Is it any more of a money grab than raising the price on the next release? The people it hurts most are the people who skip upgrade cycles. If you were the kind of user that upgraded every cycle,...

Probably hurts the middle class hobbyist market, who have chunks of cash, and prefer the overall savings to a monthly recurring charge (and who are also less used to the subscription model). ...

thanks! Yeah the feet were in the original shot, It was a choice between a security guy's head and their feet in the frame or no feet but no angry looking dude looking into the crowd with helicopter...

It is a bit overwhelming, because it isn't particularly easy to take great photos. The best, and most succinctly adequate treatment, is Michael Freeman's Perfect Exposure and his The Photographer's...

Haven't posted in a while. Mostly just been busy with work. But unfortunately I haven't really had the time to do much 'for me' shooting. I picked up my Nikon the other day and almost couldn't...

the push pull 80-200 is a disaster to try to focus with the D7000 for anything that's moving (ie most things you're using a 80-200 f/2.8 for). The torque on the D7000's focus motor just isn't enough...

haven't posted in a while, all has been well, just haven't really had time to get sucked into the TPF timewarp. Anyway, did a little concert photography last night. Lighting was DARK. Had been a...

First, sharpness isn't an actual real thing. There's no way to measure sharpness. There is only apparent softness. As keith noted, FF sensors have an advantage in that they can produce the same...

it takes a $5 shutter release cable that connects through a port on the side of the camera.

1/180 v 1/200 isn't a big deal. 1/180 v 1/250 is. My frustration with the 6D was more because it was going the wrong way in that regard.

I also don't get not having built in flash AND not having...

What I've essentially learned is that when it comes to sporadically selling prints, there is absolutely NO way to know what people will end up buying. I've sold prints of fairly junky HDR, I've sold...

Sure, but if it's more than 3 or so feet away, 1-2 inches won't make a huge deal.

If the light is 3 feet away and tilted such that the far side is 3 inches further than the close side, the...

I suppose so, but unless it's overall extremely close, it's inconsequentially further away. Also, what do you mean by 90 degrees? Either that's dead straight on, or completely 100% side lit.

The keys to any good logo is the ability to quickly convey as much information (that's positive) about you as possible in as little visual real estate as possible, while still being easy and quick to...

you can get a pretty decent amount of background blur with a 35mm f/1.8 wide open, you just have to be very close to your subject.

This was a shot with a 35mm f/1.8:

But I was just a...

Well part of the reason I have kept my large blocky one was to deter people from using my images without permission, however it has no target market in mind, nor does it represent any specific...

you're too far away from the cat and the background is too close.

also, you REALLY don't understand aperture & f/stop, because they're the same thing. You said your aperture is 1.7 and f/stop is...

a lot depends on what your goals are, what your market it and how worried you are about your images being stolen. They're some sort of balance between half-behinded security measure and advertising....

Hey I AM OFF TO China to see terracotta army and the great wall do you reckon these will be good enough for that.. Thanks for taking the time to reply[/QUOTE]


Sure, outdoors in daylight, they'll...

They're both decent enough hobby zooms. Neither has vibration reduction though.

It seems that you have this idea that there is a such thing as a 'correct' exposure in all situations. That there's one setting that's exactly right and the rest of the settings are all wrong.
...

If you have your on camera audio track and the audio from the sound guy it's pretty easy. You can just pull up the two sound files and sync them via the sound, instead of via the video to sound. ...

you're using flash? Is the flash on manual too?

I wouldn't say the first one is overexposed, I would say it just has harsh on camera flash. Also, this isn't really a scene that's going to be...
