    I really hate AE modes I mean they work but not like full manutal modes once you learn to meter a shot with your eye. I have found that most of the time I blame the camera is AE mode for missing a shot when it still was my fault so I use full manual mode. Its much easier than it sounds once you...

    MIT dome at night

    The color is from the wavelength of the type of lighting the building uses the the human eye picks it up differently than the camera picks it up. The purple is far better than some of the uglier colors different wavelengths of light generate in pictures.

    Well it isnt like it wont work without the grip, but on the other hand once you have had a heavy long lens with and without the battery grip you will run out and buy one. Then the fact you have twice the power aka twice the shot without having to swap batteries. The best part about the grip is...

    I find most the time 24mm is really wide except in cramped areas like small bars and restaurant booths, thus for the most bang for the bug and so you dont overlap your coverage to much a 24-70 F2.8L would be far better than the 24-105 F4L also you will find lighting to be poorer in small areas...

    I find that you end up needing an extra lens with the 24-105 f/4L, You end up a little short on the long end, thus most people buy a 200mm prime but then your stuck with a non zoom lens. Hence the sweet spot of with 2 lenses coveing all your range at F2.8 with the 24-70 F2.8L and the 70-200...

    Oh the questions Nikon or Canon. Let me make this very simple for you. First and foremost forget the camera body they are disposable. Now take a deep breath and relax. Now for the important stuff. Now think what you want to take pictures of, then learn what camera systems(not to be...

    Opinions On Oblivion's The Orrery Quest

    The more I think about this the more it makes sense for down loadable content. No offence to modders but I dont care for 3rd party RPG mods sence Neverwinter Nights I rather have the company behind the game do it. On the other hand I would like to see larger content downloads, $3-5 for a good...

    Opinions On Oblivion's The Orrery Quest

    I downloaded it and it was a fast quest, with nocturnal's cowls 5-10 minutes but it is a step in the right direction and some of the buffs very useful. I didnt buy horse armor because I find the horse a waste. but I would like larger more in-depth quests. I like long hard quests that take hours...

    its not the best idea but sometime you have to with no other options.

    EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS announced!

    I agree but disagree. The problem is with large wide angle prints steady is the most important feature so with Mirror lock up, IS, you can pull off a great hand held shot. On the other hand I dont like EF-S lenses I like FF lenses for the fact once FF body come down in price all the EF-S...

    My first camera

    Yes but if you want an EOS system none of the above cameras support EOS system, plus the EOS linup has the 1Ds MK II by far the best 35mm DSLR ;) Plus Id wait on a KM sence I would want to see what Sony is gonna due with the KM mount system. If they do it right it will be nice but if the...

    My first camera

    Okay I am a Canon guy but the 350D isnt worth it save up for the 20D or skimp on it and go with the 300D and good glass. The 350D is way to small and very akward to hold with a big lens.
