4 samples up now that don't look too bad. 

I agree I like the lighting design.  Hope it works well.

Very interesting.

I suspect they made an error in their add.  It would be nice for them to at least say we blew it and apologize for getting you all excited for nothing.

Lenses / Re: What is the next Canon lens you want or covet and why...

70-300L to replace my 70-300 non-L for birding would be the my reasonable covet.  Then one of the 300mm or 400mm primes or 100-400l II.

Wow based on this topic it seems there are a lot of pent up demand for the new 7D

Indeed, Indeed! I really can't wait...especially if its 24mp and 61pt AF. *DROOL* 

One of the things that I really wish to see is the integration of tablets/smartphones and the camera over a wifi link. Use the tablet as a remote shutter release... as an intervalometer... focusing aid.... lots of possibilities.

Set yourself up for bird pictures by placing the camera near a feeder or perch, go far enough away as to not scare birds away, and live-view/click....

Like that idea.

I mod on a forum and we were hit recently with tons of spambots and spammers.  Admin had not updated the captcha and question.  After those two things were done we have had a lot less spam issues.  The time taken to review the names before approval will cut back the spammers even more.
Sucks but is necessary.  Good job.

The official: Portrait Humor Thread....

Keep it clean...
Okay, so a friend asked me for some examples of "bad portraits"

As I was gathering a few examples... (I know, mine suck as well)..I thought I'd share....

You know... from one "bad" photographer to another...







Peace!

I love the first pic, I think the other two fit this thread.

I hope they are not referring to the "new sensor" from the SL1.

Most likely one and the same.

Same old 18GB sensor?  They are putting this in everything. EOS, M-series, new powershot, smallest SLR, Ti whatever. Same old sensor just with different packaging. not interested

Do you have proof of your claim?

Love the shots and thanks for sharing. 

I think the crop, if you did crop, on number two cut off the right end of the bridge where it connected to land making it seem a little awkward.

Ignore the troll.
