Dave, If you were in the Canon camp I'd recommend the Canon 300mm f/4L IS over the Sigma or Tamron 300mm f/2.8 anyday. If Nikon makes a 300mm f/4 VR I'd...
OK, I need more reach but being new to all this, I don't have a grasp of how much more reach 300mm will give me over the 200mm... Say I want to photograph a...
Kaaren, I assume you're a Canon user since you've specified "IS". I don't think 200mm would necessarily be enough - whole herd, no problem - singling out a...
... Great ... Thanks Mike-- Sorry, I did leave out the camera and it is a Canon Rebel XT. Don't think I can afford the 100-400L just yet, but I sure wish I...
I realized recently that because I have such a backlog of photos I need to process in Photoshop, I hardly ever actually shoot anything new these days. So I...
... The one thing that people should realize is that VR and IS is not the cure all in photography. I have a Nikkor 70-200/2.8 AFS VR and a 300/4 AFS and both...

Rob very nice. Cool theme for memorial day. Is that the Skunk Train? You mentioned the Santa Cruz mts so I figure that must be the train or part of it or...

Hey All...I just got word that my camera has arrived at the store! I will be headed out in the morning to pick it up! Yah...hoo! So sometime late morning I...
Kaaren remember that when you add a teleconverter you also have to add 1.4 stops so you're trading the amount of light for distance, and frankly, at 1.4 it...
Well, it means that mine got here! I think that they have been in stock all along... but there seemed to have been an issue with his order... not just sure as...

Hi, I just posted a new pic in the TWIP folder. I've done panorama shots before, but usually with only two pics, four at the most. This one took 10 pics to put...
Lydia, I would like to see it but I guess because it's so wide, it won't display any bigger than a thumbnail; pbase shrinks it to fit on the page. Do you know...

Kaaren, Well, I guess it's a tough call. The 70-200L is a significantly better lens than the 70-300IS. Probably even after you put a 1.4X on it. However,...
kaaren i don't know where you live, but check out the availability of RENTING a special lense for this assignment...most lenses rent for a lot less than...
Lydia thanks about removing the older shots. But I don't think it has been a problem for space thus far. But you never know :-) Neat pan shot. It is small so...
Okay, I knew before hand that people who did their photography in Alaska photographing Grizzlies and Polar Bears worked in a dangerous field. I knew that...

Lydia, These are old rules for Yahoo site - problem is that Yahoo site keeps original, exhausting space. PBase is 800 pix and will automatically resize the...
No vampires in these shots. I took the first two dawn shots recently with my 20D. Post processing was done in Corel Photopaint for color correction and...

... Kelly I'm happy for you, I've had mine since December 20th and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't believe you have to drive 250 miles to get it though....
