    Canon Rebel XP successor?

    Scott, do you leave IS on when hooked up to a tripod?

    Canon Rebel XP successor?

    What you're likely noticing in the Dragon Con pics from the K10D is the built-in image stabilization (IS). In the low-light environment of a convention hall, that IS would be invaluable for getting good shots. After owning the Canon S1 IS (with built-in IS, as you know), I upgraded to Nikon's...

    Westley: Look, are you just fiddling around with me or what? Fezzik: I just want you to feel you're doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed. --The Princess Bride Me? I prefer them to be as easy as possible. I'd love a 20-way tie for first, as long as I was in the pack!

    Great idea Jon. Looking forward to this one. I'm already in defiance of one of your statements -- I think I know one of these shots, but can't think of the other one!! I'll have to give it more thought.

    No idea. and I was hoping for a gimme for the last round. :frowning: Thanks, John -- it's been fun!

    I thought I did from the first shot (though I couldn't place my finger on the right film), but the second shot threw me for a loop. I'm anxious to find out what this one is. JKS

    I should have kept my mouth shut. #19 is going to eat me alive until I come up with the right answer! Thanks for the update John.

    It's showing for me now -- wasn't last night, though.

    Um...what are the chances that someone who didn't get it from the first shot WILL get it from the very similar second shot?

    S3 IS help

    Nice! The aqua lighting in the smoke is great! I especially like the middle one with 3 different lights on the 3 people in the frame. Good work, Kyle! Hope you had fun at the concert besides getting some good pictures!

    Kudos to Bill for getting #10 from the first shot. After I saw the second shot, I realized that I should have gotten it from the first. Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda....

    S3 IS help

    Also, depending on the lighting, consider center-weighted or spot metering. Sometimes with bright spotlights on the artist and dark backgrounds (as is often the ideal for concerts), the camera will tend to overexpose. It 'sees' lots of darkness and only a bit of brightness and tries to...

    I was clueless on shot 7, until the second shot came along. I haven't seen The Illusionist, but it appeared that 7b could be from that film and that kind of looked like an Ed Norton hairline. Fortunately, I quickly checked IMDb -- and what to my wondering eyes should appear, but: a...

    Well, it's open-ended so long as no one is actually able to correctly identify one of the shots. Or, it'll be a twelve-way-tie. I didn't even submit a guess on the first film, though, if I hadn't checked the aspect ratio, I might have guessed "The Cell," regardless of John's tastes in films. :)

    Congratulations, Ray! I thought Bill had it wrapped up when he got the bonus points. You did well to overtake him w/o the extra boost.

    I should have gotten Downfall for 2 points. I knew I'd seen it, but guessed Pianist until the clue. I put Downfall in just to make sure and found the shot and changed my answer. Don't think I'm gonna get #12.

    I'm not above Googling -- I got 'Three Burials' by googling "Head on Fire" + Mexico. :)

    Well, '10' doesn't have an AR of 2.07 either. He already said that he intentionally cut off Bo Derek's head in that last shot. I don't think that we can use the aspect ratio as a clue this time around, fellas.

    Directors Screenshot Challenge! Call the neighbors! Wake the kids!

    JohnRice, if I'm right about #3 (and I think I am), you're probably going to kick yourself. I guess that's part of the fun, though. There may be a shot from a film you've seen numerous times that you don't get, but then, there may be a shot from a film that you've never seen, that you get...

    I see red x's --- they're everywhere No, really, I see them, too. There are three in your sig, too. [edit: make that 4 in your sig, Jon, to the left of your LMS pic]

    Well, I'm off to a poor start already -- I have no idea on the first one. One question to Jon_Are: the image appears stretched vertically -- any way that can be fixed?? I don't think it would make a difference with identifying the shot, it's just annoying. Thanks! [EDIT: looks like Jon...

    Dang -- I was just hitting my stride getting the final two shots. I'm always up for a screenshot contest, though, one-at-a-time would be best, I think. I'll check tomorrow for Jon's contest! Thanks for putting this one on, Elizabeth!

    A screenshot contest? Why didnt' anybody call me? After looking through the shots, I'd probably have no better than 6 points at this stage of the game, but I'll start now and play along as best I can. Unfortunately, I have no ideas on the current shot, even with the clue. JKS

    Ok to drill the back of JBL E 20

    FWIW, See Phil Iturralde's post (and links) in this thread (re: JBL S-Series -- don't know that it makes any difference as long as you make sure you don't drill into the crossover!). JKS

    #*@X&$ !! daylight savings time got me again!

    I've lived in central Indiana for my 31 years so this was the first time that I've ever sprung forward (Indiana changed it's laws to adopt DST). Overall, this rates as a big so-what for me. Not that big of a deal. For me, at least. JKS

    Why are old movies so much better?

    Another telling example is Cheaper by the Dozen (1950) vs. Cheaper by the Dozen (2003). The original mostly sticks with the original true family story and it is funny, sweet, and touching. The Steve Martin re-make (if it can be called that) could have taken some lessons from the original, but it...
