• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

I thought I have enough cameras and lenses to shoot most situation. Last week, I even talked myself out of buying the Canon 600mm f4 IS II. It should be a happy moment for not spending $10K on a single lens that doesn't get use often right?

Well....it's not that easy. I saw this photo, posted by Neuro: http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=9791.120

I'm now heading to flash photography. I'm not sure what will come after flash?

Wish me luck guys ;)

what I think?

Silly question, I think, most of us here know what we want and why we want it. You have few very nice bodies, lots of lenses and I bet you know exactly the reason why you bought every one of it.

Go for it, I feel you know why flashes are interesting for you and why you want them. ;)

Ha, Ha, Ha---Dear my friend Dylan.
"I thought I have enough cameras and lenses to shoot most situation. Last week, I even talked myself out of buying the Canon 600mm f4 IS II. "----Ha, Ha, Ha---No way to have enough the equipment to support our love hobby / Photography , that we all love. Yes, We all get " GAS' Illness from most of the time that we see some thing = BETTER than our equipment that we already have past 50 years, Yes, Our Heart ( NO, Not our Brain) force us to do the crazy money spending, and we will be sorry , and tell our self on the bed that $ 5000 US Dollar that we spend on that new Lens( So sharp) will make more detail of her pimples on the face of that beautiful model, and make her angry---Yes, We need to buy the Soft Filter to remove the Pimples when we shoot that beautiful girl again, tomorrow.

BUT, Our love Hobby Photography are a lot better than Play Golf, like my dear friend , he just spend money to buy the Hand made driver, that the PRO make perfect fit to his hand, and his body weight, His Height, and cost him 3-4,000 US Dollars ( Gold Plate Shaft that make no rust and will make perfect hit in every times)---But He still can not play a good games after he get that Sh-T.---Ha, Ha, Ha, Now He tell me that he will buy the special golf balls that can cheat the wind, and fly super straight as far as 1 miles.

But, We just have FUN the thing that we buy yesterday---No matter WHAT.
Have a great weekend, Sir.

Hi Sporgon.
Funny! ;D
Not completely sure this works, it could just mean that the bag you have needs replacing with one that is easier to visit the bottom of the compartments!
Oh look I need more camera gear!
Bags do count as camera gear right? ::)

Cheers Graham.

Wouldn't know - it has never happened to me :(

BTW, welcome to flash photography - I have five studio strobes (and a 580 II inc external battery pack) with umbrellas, snoots, gels, softboxes of various sizes and shapes/grids, beauty dish and reflectors/diffusers - and one assistant.

Next, I thinks I need a more powerful strobe with external power pack for location shoots.

Happy shooting.

LOL..... ;D

Back in 2001 before I got married, I golf 3-4 a week at least. Yes, I admitted, I was addicted to golf. During that time, I upgraded my driver, fairway woods, irons yearly. The only club in my golf bag didn't get upgrade is Scotty Cameron, Studio Design, Newport2 putter. I LOVE THIS PUTTER. I still have this putter with me today.

Just like your "dear friend", all my golf shafts & club heads were customized. It helps to fit with my nature golf swing, loft & angle, club-head-speed, length etc...

I'm now married with 2 kids, I have reduced my golf from 3-4 times a week to 2-3 times a year - I'm still shoot in the low 80 on 72par courses ;)

I agree with you, life is too short. We only live one - let's enjoy life through photography, golf, bottle of red wine, Costo steak & lobster tail...the list goes on.

Oops....almost forgot, let enjoy the BIG L WHITE too ;D

Have a great weekend surapon

The only lens in my bag doesn't get use much is 16-35 II, otherwise, I use most of my lenses every weekends.

Still missing macro, super telephoto, and underwater stuff....but those, I don't use it much or at all ;)
