Hello, guys someone lent me a Canon 7d and a 18-135 kit lens (Not the best, but beggars can't be choosers), I really wish I could have borrowed his 11-16 Tokina but I didn't get that.
I also have a Nikon d70 with a 70-210mm f/4-5.6 and a 50mm f/1.8. I bought a Adapter from the Nikon mount to the Canon as well. I have a Manfrotto ball head tripod and Two folding reflectors. I also just bought a cheap eBay intervalometer.
I plan on buying a nd filter and a CLP for the 18-135 lens I was looking at these,

Just wondering if you guys have any other suggestions on things to get? Other than a lens, its just not in the budget, unless its wide cheap under 200 and decent.
Now for the Questions,
Can someone give me some the different settings they use for landscape and Portraits, I will be shooting RAW possibly with JPEG's. I usually do all Manual, otherwise Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority in some cases, like when I am at a event and I have to interact and I am feeling lazy. Anyway, I was wondering if someone could tell me the more in depth custom settings they use, if they use HTP or keep it turned off. the AF mode they use, ect. I know the basic settings I just want the more advanced ones. Also, which settings carry into RAW? I know the Picture styles don't.
Timelapses, If you could suggest any guides that you have found helpful on this that would be great. Also, if someone could explain how you deal with a sun rise and the changing light that would be great. Do you shoot full size? Have you ever tried RAW? Do you just shoot a frame every one second and Toss the Frames that you don't need?
ISO Should I use 200 for all the landscapes? I read that 100 was a digital reduction of 200 and not native. Should I use 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, for Low Light and High Shutter and Video or should I use a different set?
And If you guys have any shots that you find interesting, that I might be able to try throw they up here.
Sorry for the long list. Thanks!
