    Did you know that the grip extenders can hold AA batteries???? Damn brilliant. I am going to get one soon. Money well spent! 100 bucks for more grip for my fat hands and I can rock batteries I can find anywhere. Fucking sweeeeeet.

    It is top gear for photography. They even went to Amsterdam with 3 people who took 3 cameras and had challenges. I enjoy it and I learn stuff. Helps when I can't take anymore textbook type learning.

    Just needs an interesting sky. I don't really want to photoshop anything, but if I am going to print it I just might. No way! If you want more drama, crop the left and right sides to accentuate the height and put it in black and white. If you blow it up huge, give it some grainyness. It would look amazing poster sized blown up in gray with some grit. You could try the sepia brown too, but B and dub would be awesome for sure.

    You were right. The second picture is absurdly great, so touching even if the children are anonymous. But for you it's like a magical damn secret. Really amazing.

    Extremly ebarassed...

    You have the option not to reply. But ok Mom, thanks for the life advice At this point, you basically said you wrecked other peoples property and you want help cleaning up after yourself. Maybe you still need a mom watching over you. Maybe the people you egged deserved it, but that can ruin paint on a car. Happened to me. I would give you a vacation if I had the power to just based on the fact no one here wants to be associated with that kind of poor behavior.

    I have no idea who you egged, but you are making yourself sound foolish, and that you got what you deserve. Either way, get some resolve carpet cleaner, and don't post about doing damage to other peoples property on this board in that way anymore. No one wants to be associated with that behavior.

    But yes, a speedlight will make my life better, especially using it off the camera as a second flash.

    No flash at the last event. Not that anyone but me listened to that.

    ANY camera can work in a studio or ok lighting. And you can kill an elephant with a .22 but I would use a different tool. To me a DSLR allows me to do more with less.... But I see it from a different perspective. I also do get paid for it in the terms of, for my non profit I can collect media myself or pay someone. If I do it myself, I get to keep the toy. So it makes it easier to "justify" the cost.

    That is a great picture. The photographer knew what they were doing. The subject however isn't moving, and it's outside or at least decent light.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I have it set aside for it. I am just hoping I won't notice a difference and can justify spending less. I am 99.99999% certain I won't though.

    The big deal for me is that it isn't an everyday lens so you have to carry it. It almost requires its own bag because it is so big where the f4 is teeny feeling in comparison. And yes you fucker I am trying to rationalize saving some money. HA! Yeah, saving money is good. For me the 2.8 buys me the ISO that I could get with a 5Dmkii. So once again, for the extra few clams it is worth it. You saw how close my little stupid t4i is in quality to the big FF cameras. Buying better glass in this case makes my body relevant for more years. As another bonus, I don't know if you care, but the new 2.8 works with the new extenders faster/better. So there again spending a little bit more buys me more over time. If I have learned anything from your preaching it's about buying the best in the things you will hold onto and going less on the parts that change. 1.5 pounds is a big deal, but an inch longer and .5 thicker isn't anything. I won't buy that rationalization buddy!

    So... It looks like the f4 buys you a pound and a half of weight, and an inch in length. Half inch in girth, but that is kind of a non issue. What I am reading is that the f4 and the f2.8 when both are at f4 the cheeper one once up with darker images. I saw a blog with such a huge difference that it made me think he was a moron and tested incorrectly or something else changed.

    The other thing the vii has is a panning IS mode. If you ever used IS while panning, you know it doesn't work out so well. The new ii disables horizontal IS so you can pan and still stop vertical vibration buying you more stoppy stoppy. It has less lens flare etc etc etc. Better elements, blah blah blah. I will try both the vi and the vii side by side and make my decision.

    Seriously. My wife walking was probably one of the hardest things for her, as she hates being in front of a group. Even if it wasn't my "job" I kind of failed. The photographer who took pics for the graduation took them from below the students on stage. That was flattering. She may not have cared even though she hates the pic from the school, but a good shot, even if I had to crop it, would have made her day, and her moms too. So she overcame her fear to walk for her mom, and they don't even have a good pic of her on the podium. They don't see it as me failing, but I feel that way for sure. So maybe I am just way more motivated to make sure I have the best chance next time.
