Very well said Man-Fai. You are a wise man, we must meet at some HTF event some time!

Yep, those are what I meant, mostly. Can definitely see you working hard on that and they are 10000x better than I could ever draw, but they all seem so similar to me that it's hard to swim through em to find the cool 'real' pictures =) Maybe separate those out into two different Flickr...

I'll just note that while I'm multiple kinds of color blind Pat's pictures seemed pretty well on for most of the series on my calibrated monitor.

Pat, those are great especially given the lighting conditions, seating assignments and your inexperience with the camera. Keep at it! If I were in your shoes I would be very proud of that batch, no shame at all in it. If I can offer one teeny suggestion to you, and it is advice I myself have...

Will check those out when I get home off this business trip, thanks!

Still seems like its centered and set to flow to any width to me... Edit: NM, was somehow viewing the cached version. Looks better, will try to read it all later.

I did resize my full width browser just to read your ramblings! But even at 1/4 my screen I found it straining. I've come down on the side of full width flow in the past, and while I don't back off on that completely I see the other sides points, but centering all text at any width just...

Pat, you might consider turning of centering all that text. It makes my head ache to read it!

This is why I like lightroom. Choose a set. Hit d to develop. Start at the beginning. P to Pick, right to not pick, have caps on so it automoves to next if you pick. Go through all shots. Pick or not. At the end, hit L to bring up library. Command Alt A to select all picks. Command N...

Don't cheap out on lenses. Don't cheap out on Flashes.

Congrats and feel better!

I rented the 100-400L for my trip to Las Vegas, the HTF MeetUp, and a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. It is fantastic. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kadath/1019645089/in/set-72157601235801888/ At $1400 it isnt a bargain but it is very good. I definitely see it getting a new IS version...

Right, the Canon 70-300IS is super slow to autofocus and the stabilization mechanism is loud and clunky, plus mine was soft at all apertures at 300 and especially wide open. Which makes the 70-300VR so amazing to me, I shoot that sucker wide open and it focuses really well on fast action in all...

I love the Canon 70-200F4IS and hated the 70-300 Consumer IS Zoom. The Nikon 70-300VR is superb however. Not rubbing it in, if it were reversed I'd say it. The 70-200F4IS is a superb lens which has no Nikon counterpart. The 24-105IS is also amazing.

Congrats Patrick, please keep us in the loop as you come up to speed on the new camera! Regarding Monopods, I've been shooting a lot of sports lately, American Football and Baseball mostly, and it amuses me to see guys with smaller IS/VR lenses on monopods. Talking to a few of them it seems to...

You probably aren't shooting those interiors with a 70-200 or 300 fast prime tho. Even those are debatably improved by a Mono, but the superteles basically require one (or a tri)

If you are sold on the t1I you should follow this thread: http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=0&t=1434581

Oh, that's right, you had like an a570 or something similar at our events now if I remember right. Well, in that case, go for it, the XSI is probably the gateway drug to bigger and better =) If you have a Costco tho I would go buy their kit setup there, its a nice package with a case and you...

Don't you already have a 40d? Personally I would feel cramped with the xsi class camera as a primary camera but the d5000 is growing on me as a backup/leave it in the car camera...
