Fred Miranda? Anal Retentive?

That 300 is a lot of lens for the money. I love...

Were the ISOs different? When you're shooting at a higher ISO your file size will be different.

Hmm, now that I think about it I have noticed that with RAW files but I'm not sure I've checked...

Don't discount AV mode especially if you're shooting in changing light conditions and you are most concerned about capturing a moment. I rarely shoot in full manual unless I'm working off a tripod...

If you get near Capitol Reef, the Hartnett Rd loop is out of this world. So many wild vistas and geologic formations along this loop. From towering monoliths to the white Bentonite hills, it's a...

I might be a few years late to the party but I just put up a blog site and wanted to see who else has an active one to follow. I've got a few that I follow that are really interesting, finding them...

I'll play, but I'm a little embarrassed as to how much glass I've been hoarding lately.

I just picked up the new 70-200 for a shoot last week and I feel like I'm cheating on my beloved 80-200L...

I hear what you're saying but l think it's 6's on which way to price things.

If you charge a small fee up front and make the bulk of the money on print sales, in the end it works out to a final...

My questions were sincere. If I am to compare two business models I'd like to know from your experience what to expect.

What would you charge for the day? How many prints would you expect to...

So lay it out for me. How would you do it? What would you charge for the day, would that cover gas, equipment, time, or would you be recouping those through prints? What would you expect to make...

Thanks for the well wishes! I don't think anyone in this thread thinks that something like this is a cakewalk that doesn't require any more than switching it to the green square and shooting away at...

I've had a hero 3 for a couple months now. It's buggy.

That said, I like the footage much better than the hero 2. The biggest pain I experience with it is that oftentimes it does not want to...

Ok, so I'm working with imovie right now. Anytime I've ever tried to make an adjustment like exposure, it really looks like shit so I just don't touch it as a rule. As for the WB, I agree, I was...

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback and I certainly don't think you're being a nitpicking dick. The audio sucked, I opened the windows and door to the room to try and combat the echo but it...

I think as long as you're not advertising your services publicly, like "Vail on mountain photographer - cheaper than going through Vail" you're probably alright. In this particular case, this family...

Ok, let's get the spam out of the way first. The first video I think (hope) is pretty clever. I made it for and of my girlfriend to help her win a $2k scholarship to an online business school. It...

I was approached yesterday by someone looking for me to accompany their family for either a half day or full day of skiing as their private photographer. I think it could be a lot of fun but I'm a...

Mine sending it over here as well? I bought the 24L a while back but I think the 35L might be more my style

I'll play

Wait a sec, with the power account can you do customization on the site? If so, then that may be the way to go. I certainly don't sell much at a profit but I do like being able to set up galleries...

btw, smugmug just changed their pricing as of today. For a Pro account where you cannot set your prices for a profit, they are calling it a Portfolio account and it's $150/yr. If you want to be...

I've picked a few themes that I really hoped would be awesome but ended up kind of fizzling and my takeaway is that the theme needs to be accessible just to get people out shooting. A tougher theme...

I think it's pretty safe for Willie to post up the next one, maybe even give us an extra weekend day to shoot for it

tight race

I like the public poll. Kinda fun to see what people are picking

Whoops, your right. It works in AV mode but it does not work in Manual. I don't know if there's any good reason why it shouldn't work in manual but Canon does not offer it. I believe Nikon does.

I was recently given one by a friend cleaning out his parent's house. I am very impressed by it in general, and especially so given the price. I did a few comparison shots between it and my 80-200L...

Auto ISO is pretty awesome in the right circumstances and when you find yourself in one you'll have that aha moment.

One example, shooting sports in changing light. If you need to hold at least...

If you didn't already know about the Canon Loyalty Program this is a fine use for a broken camera. You can give them a call at (866)-443-8002 and tell them you have a broken Canon camera you'd like...

I don't have a set budget per se, just trying to slowly accumulate the pieces of the puzzle to shoot video. I'm sure I need an external mic as well but for now I'm not so focused on the audio. Of...

If I go with the 501 do I need to buy any extra parts? I'm seeing a review saying I need to buy a half-ball to put between the head and my tripod. I have a Manfrotto 055XBPRO or whatever it's...

I'm looking to pick up a fluid head so I can dabble some more with video. What do you video mags recommend as the Toyota of fluid heads? Doesn't need to be the best but also not a POS.

The most...

Let the record show they were gone in about 15 seconds and went for $299.

any idea what kind of discount they usually put on these deals? looks like it's going for $399 currently

Can we mercy-rule this one? Dfinn just nailed it. Love the depth of field on it, really makes it for me. Nice shot, you must have a really nice camera.:fmicon:

Just bought an HD Hero 2 last week. Once firmware is updgraded, how much of a video guy do I need to be to take advantage of the color profile and also not lose out on quality because of it.

Can...

Great deal on a fantastic lens

Fuzz I think you nailed that shot. It screams gangster to me. Gangster about to go take care of business. The elastic cuff on the jacket really adds to it. I dig it, great concept and excellent...

Voting will close Thursday night with the hopes that a new MPC can go up Friday morning before the weekend. Thanks for all the entries and I'm real pleased to see some different stuff in this one. ...

Some awesome entries coming in at the end here, I'll pick the finalists first thing tomorrow morning.

Oh yeah, there's some great riding up there. We did two days while staying in town in Lava.

First day we drove down to Grace, took a left in town and headed towards the mountains. Parked up on...

oh man dfinn, you're making me miss UT. Spend my first whole day riding this weekend since moving back East last fall and it's just not the same out here. Make sure you go riding up in Lava Hot...

That there is pretty funny stuff

I'm looking to keep this MPC pretty wide open with the hopes of getting as many folks as possible to pick up their cameras and give it a go.

Transportation can be a method to get from point A to...

I'll have the next one up first thing tomorrow.

While it's totally personal preference for the finalists, I found Fuzz's other image with his head in the picture frame a more compelling shot along with Bad Dancer's other guitar one with the...

Don't have much in the way of critiques for you, but I really enjoyed the video. Nice music choice. You from Shelburne Falls?

Nope, it's an 80-200L aka magic drainpipe. Absolutely love that lens

Thanks guys!
