Right here's my opinion:
For the body go for a 600D, as it is the oldest entry level Canon body that is easily available, the 650D and 700D wont be worth the extra money.
Lens wise, a1ex2001 is correct that your current Canon EF-S 18-55mm doesnt feature IS and is quite pants. The newer...
I'm going to be planning a London engagement shoot for some close friends (I'm best man) as part of my portfolio building.
What Ray and KD say is spot on; forget driving unless you are brave and super organised.
Imagination is going to be your limitation in London. There are a so many shots...
Bottom line.....
.....the Creative Cloud stuff will get pirated. 100%. It will now be an even more coveted target to achieve for the groups that are involved in this stuff.
Im not sure if Im understanding correctly or not Phal, but are many of your tests shots being taken with liveview? if so; the camera autofocuses in a completely different (ie, slower and less effective) way when using liveview compared to using the viewfinder and this could be the cause of your...
Yea my NAS drives are plugged in. They mounts fine, the Iomega and Synology devices show up under the Shared section of the Sidebar. However, each NAS itself host multiple shares; the 'Remote Volumes' - the finder icons of which look like blue extrernal drives with 3 white stickmen on them...
...I know this is a hijack, and I apologise....
Ray.. I notice you have network drives on Mountain Lion. Im a bit of a mac newbie - I have various "remote volumes" and I cant for the life of me get a shortcut to any of these to stick on the Favourites section of my sidebar. Its so tedious! Have...
Yea I ordered a ~80 page blurb book for my gf for Christmas. Made it in Lightroom with a mixture of holiday snaps from iPhone, my gf S95 compact, and my SLR.
I was really quite happy with how creating the book in Lightroom went. Fairly easy and intuitive - I hadn't looked it to in at all...
Im finding it too big to work on photos with! #firstworldproblems
Incredibly fast though. I have the i5 27" stock spec, with only the fusion added.
My 2.4Gz C2D PC with 4gb RAM would take about 10-15 seconds to refresh a 22mp image when moving the noise reduction slider in Lightroom. This...
Mine arrived today. Just shy of 3 weeks since ordering. Bottom line is im happy to have received it before Christmas. Im not sure how Im going to concentrate for the rest of the day at work now.... I just want to load Lightroom up!!
Just an update, my status has changed to dispatched. I have a UPS tracking number which predicts that'll I receive my iMac on Wed 19th.
If its useful for anyone else to know mine is a 27" i5 2.9, with a 1tb Fusion. Ordered at 10.30am on 30th Nov.
Its seems from the Macrumours 27" uk delivery...
Mine has moved today to "Preparing For Shipment"!!! WOOHOOO!!
Still has the same "Dispatched: 2 - 3 Weeks Delivers 21 Dec, 2012 - 02 Jan, 2013" written right next to it, but imagine that will change soon.
Im thinking it will be dispatched in a day or so and will arrive early next week...
I think it's healthy. As Ray says Canon will always beat Sigma when it comes to image quality. Im sure that will not change over time. What is evolving though is the pricing - which is allowing Sigma to up their game, initialy it seems in the quality of certain new lenses. What will be more...
Im thinking Sigma are making the most of the increased price gap between their products and the new Canon gear. Traditionally they've been making lenses to a price - and now perhaps they foresee that they will have a bit more leeway and this is resulting in their quality creeping up. The new...
Like Ray said. I have a folder for each year. Inside each of these folders there is a further 12 folders for each month. Inside each of those there are individual folders for the days where I have been shooting. Example folder structure:
'2011' > '02 - February' > '11 - Joe Bloggs Birthday'...
I suggested the 35mm, as the OP said it's badminton and he can get as close as he wants. So using a 35mm court-side to get full/half body shots is quite feasible.
No prob buddy.
On a Nikon you will do much worse than a Nikon AF-S 35mm F1.8 DX lens. This will give you a fast aperture with a "standard" field of view. You then also have the 50mm F1.8 G and 85mm F1.8 G.
Aperture is the the "hole" in the lens that lets the light through. You can change the size of the hole. You do that by altering the F number using your camera to different values eg. F7.1, F5.6, F2.8. The smaller the number, the bigger the hole (aperture). So F1.4 lets in more light that F5.6...
