2K, Looks like a heck of a camera, but it has a pretty big step up in both size and weight over the 20D. The 2.5" LCD is a nice touch, with very high res. I...
johnd it is an impressive piece of equipment. as far as the EF-s lenses, don't worry, there are only four on the market, the other lenses work. the dollar...
Dave, Very nice. I liked Egret1 and Few_Oaks the best. Few_Oaks might benefit from a bit of the highlight tool to bring out some detail in the foreground...
David, Sweet! This is the one I liked best: http://www.pbase.com/dgeall/image/48532845 Also the second pit stop pic was nice except the fuel hose floating in...
Hi Mike; Thanks for the comments ...... the hose is actually an air gun for changing the tires ...... they throw it back to get it out of the way .... I was...
Two K You are right -- the goal is always to get the best possible shot out of the camera... as a starting point. However, my ultimate intent is to get the...
Please note the deadline for photos for the current contest ("Photo Composites") is nearly up - tomorrow morning! There aren't many entries so be sure and get...
Great collection David -- nice job! Trevor http://www.thevarietyoflight.com ... From: David Geall To: Digital_Photography_Forum@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Dave, Egrets are great, particularly first two close-ups. I like also that flying one. Excellent catch. Michael. ________________________________ From:...
Greg, Mike, Yes the gallery I used lacked the camera data. I think I used ³simple² Iıll have to switch to a different one. Most of the birds are on the...
Hi, Greg. Congrats with your big step into the macro world! Very interesting. You may make shallow DOF be your friend. Look, as stamens appear from nowhere on...
Slava, Thanks! I think any step in the macro world is a "big" step (especially at 1:1!) :) Good point on the DOF, and I will try to use the shallow DOF to my ...
2K, I guess you'll need to upgrade to a portable DVD writer and 2gb cards for that monster. The garage is untouched today, and I am unsure if that new camera...
John, Sorry to hear about your troubles. On a bright side, now days you need just 2 zoom lenses to cover all reasonable range. Latest Tamrons are pretty light...
johnd maybe...but right now, i'll do with what i've got, or adjust the camera so that i get smaller files per shot, depending on what application i'll be...
My little brother is leaving here on Sat. morning to go assist with the rescue/recovery efforts. He's volunteering with the Red Cross and only knows that he'll...
Steph, He's doing a good thing. It's insane to think that in this day and age someone can go to help in a catastrophe like New Orleans and it feels like...
Greg, I think that's where the longer macro lenses help out - get you some distance for DOF. I have been considering the 180mm Macro for exactly that reason....
Greg, You also need to place your main subject in the plane that parallel to focal plane of the camera. This is the only way to bit DOF, which is on your...

Slava, so the Nikkor 105mm macro should have less DOF than my 60mm? Mike, good points on how to work aroud the shallow DOF.....that's exactly what I've been...
Michael, Good points! I've been trying to do this, learning as I go. As I told Mike, it is frustrating nonetheless! I appeciate your comments here and on...
