    Made by Highschoolers: Technology in Education

    Hey folks, if you have a few minutes, I'd really appreciate it if you'd check out this video a friend and I made. It's an entry for the White House Student Film festival, and features our concept of a future classroom. I helped direct and film the video, but my friend (http://nemroffpictur.es)...

    New Years Eve!

    Happy new year CR! I figured I'd start a thread where we can share our NYE stories and photos. I ended up at a hippie music extravaganza with acts like Splintered Sunlight (photos below - a Grateful Dead tribute band), the Jerry Garcia Band (minus Jerry) and the New Riders of the Purple Sage...

    Just got my first white lens!

    Howdy forum, I just picked up my first white (and first L, for that matter) lens from Best Buy yesterday (I got in on the double dip deal) and boy am I happy. Yep, you guessed it: the 70-200 2.8L IS II. The build alone is worlds above anything I've owned previously. I should be shooting a...

    Canon 70d RAW Samples

    Seems that the Imaging Resource has some samples of 70d RAW images at all ISO's. Obviously we can't actually do anything with these files since RAW support for the 70d doesn't exist yet, but still exciting. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/canon-70d/canon-70dA7.HTM

    External HD Question

I just installed a 512gb SSD, which should be great for storing some things and as a startup disk, but I'd prefer to run my Lightroom library on an external...

    70d + 70-200 II vs. 5d III

    Hey Forum, I've been shooting a lot of concerts for a radio station and am about to start working as a 2nd shooter with a wedding photographer, in addition to all the work I do for my high school (I'm 16). My current gear lineup is as follows: Rebel t3i/600d Tokina 11-16 2.8 Sigma 50 1.4...

    Bizarre grid "pattern" with Rebel t3i/600d

    Hey forum, I've noticed this really weird square, almost signal noise looking pattern on photos from my t3i recently that I'm not quite sure how to describe or explain. For reference, check out this B/W image...

    70-200 for video

    My friend is really into video and wants to invest in a cheaper 70-200 for that purpose preferably before this summer. He'd be shooting in on a tripod so stabilization isn't an issue. He came to me for a suggestion between the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 (non OS) and the canon 70-200 f/4 (non IS). He's...
