Earlier this year, I posted this question: How do you determine your exposure time when using ND filters (especially 8 stops or more?) Some of you reported using iPhone apps without identifying the app and some asked the question: What apps do people use? Well, I'm about to choose an app for...

Seems like the best place to ask this question. I've seen references to manually calculating exposure in your head to using ND Calculator smartphone apps (e.g. LongTime Exposure Calculator for iPhone) and something called "ISO 6400 Trick," to determine exposure. How do you determine your...

I looked to see if there was a topic discussion about this but I couldn't find anything. I'm considering whether I should purchase the Adobe Photoshop CC (Photoshop + Lightroom). I like the idea of having the installation media in case I need to re-install the software for whatever reason and...

I was wondering if anyone here has used or considered using Greentoe: https://www.greentoe.com versus CPW or the usual suspects ;D for their next camera gear purchase. They claim that their retailer network is comprised of only established retailers (or authorized resellers). Not sure...

I will be attending a workshop in Big Sur and having ND filters is highly recommended. This will be the subject of the workshop: http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/365-photos/starry-sky-pfeiffer-beach-california I think the idea is to capture the scene at sunset. I've never used...

Jeez Louise -- what's going on with the sites layout? All of a sudden it just changed

Soliciting feedback from monopod users out there. Oh and Neuro, don't be bashful. ;D A couple of recent events has gotten me thinking about a monopod purchase. The first event involved a recent trip to Cancun Mexico -- Oh how I wish I had a tripod/monopod with me. But I for me was quite a...

You will be in Chicago for 36 hrs. Lot of beautiful architecture, etc. around the Chicago loop, Michigan Ave./Lake shore Dr. area. You have a 5D MKII and a EF 24 1.4L II and a T3i EF-S 15-55 2.8. Maybe rent another lens for the occasion. Which do you grab?

Just returned from 2 weeks in the Yucatan (primarily Cancun) with family and friends. Took along a T3i and 24-105. Went on two excursions: Visited Ek Balam and a nearby cenote the first week; Sotuta de Peon and Merida the following week. For the most part, walk-around general shooting with...

I have been wanting to sell some of my Canon camera gear and thought about my options. There's the usual suspects: eBay, Craigslist, other forums, etc. -- Other forums ??? Hey! this is a forum. What better place than right here on CR. 8) There needs to be buy-in, willing participants...

Thought there may be some interested in reading what others have to say about Adobe's Creative Cloud Scheme: Part I: http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2013/06/creative-cloud-i.html Part 2...

I submitted the text of the subject line via a Google search. The following was returned among the search results. It was phrased much better than my original query, so I figure, what the heck why not use it instead: "Many people recommend a focal length of 35mm, 50mm, and sometimes even 85mm...

If you've been on the fence ... maybe this might be the time: http://www.gitzo.us/springrebate2013?utm_source=kelbynewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=april

Thought I'd try my hand at photographing cars. Just wondering what what be a good combination to photograph an outdoor classic car show coming up next weekend. The widest lens I have for a crop-body is the EF-S 17-55 f2.8 and for FF: 24-105 f4. There may be some open-house events where cars...

This past weekend, I met up with my nephew for breakfast. Afterwards, we decided to look at circular screw-in ND filters and prices. There are only two brick n’ mortar camera stores in the area. Neither had a filter in 77mm less than $380. The first of the two stores had the Heliopan variable...

I'm interested in learning if people have a preference for using either a wrist or neck strap or perhaps own both and use one or the other depending on circumstances with their DSLR.
