Thanks sirka i was trying find that i forgot which one of you posted it before.

I was parallel =\ at the bend but I just couldnt get it right and consistent.

srika

it takes a good amount of practice. and, keeper rate is pretty low, at least at the beginning.

srika

someone just posted a gallery of photos to Facebook as a ZIP file... LMAO I dunno I find that so funny.

I impulsively picked up a Canon 1D Classic with 3 batteries today, if anyone is interested in it PM me,I'll let it go cheaper than Ive ever seen one on POTN

Rubin, if this is out of line just delete it. Thought I would offer this to this small community

srika

all good, a nonchalant informal offer, I don't see any problem.

On panning - the #1 thing I've found: Follow-through. Keep tracking the subject even after letting go of the burst. Everything else (shutter/aperture/iso) about the exposure will vary with subject and situation.

synth19

+1. It's all about the tracking and burst. I think he mentioned using a monopod in this thread or the other. I don't think that's necessary with good technique. In fact, I think it could hinder the shots.

srika

I was gonna say the same thing - I think a monopod is not necessary and it could even limit your shots and ability. (Ive never shot with one and never had a desire to shoot with one).

synth19

On a side note, I don't know why I find tracking and burst so damn fun.

Yea I don' t know if it was limiting my motion with the monopod guess ill try it with out it.

srika

i find it fun cuz its so challenging.

Mizouse

One thing you can try too is setting the * button to activate AF. So you can start tracking earlier.

I'm the megamod pal, this is not acceptable ! ! !

I need to stop being so lazy on editing my photos.

Seriously, got stuff from 2007 to edit still...

Gonna try to edit something at least once a week.

srika

its very time-consuming, for sure

MWalsh9152

thats why I always try to process as soon as I get home if I have the time, otherwise I'd end up like

srika

I could probably spend my whole damn day editing, if I wanted. you might think I post a lot of photos, the truth is I post about maybe 10% of my post-able photos.

Mizouse

Still need to build a portfolio too.

srika

I "want to" do a LOT of sheit.

I want to do a few Blurb books (Chicago architecture, nightlife, etc).

I want to setup a store (like smugmug - actually I need to do this like, NOW (thanks for reminding) - I am shooting a semi-formal event Friday night and they will likely want to purchase individual 4x6's).

I want to print, frame, and sell my work.

I think the only thing that's stopping me, is that I'm lazy.

Mizouse

Ain't that a bitch...

MWalsh9152

I hear ya on lazy. I've been slowly building up a portfolio of my best work that I can start framing and selling. I honestly probably didnt make it out 3 times this summer though


as for making money at photography....someone buy my 1D

srika

oh it is.

srika

ok now you are pushing it, lol

I just looked through B&H's medium format selection... I feel sick.

is300eater

on this Canadian/British Columbia tax!!!

Mizouse

Buy stuff when you head back stateside?

Or have someone buy it here and ship it north ( if that would be cheaper)

is300eater

yeah, I learned my lesson... what happened was, I bid and won an auction on eBay (used item). The seller said he will NOT claim it a lower value, when they failed to deliver, I had to go pick it up, and I didn't think they would actually nail me for that duty tax or whatever you call it. But there's something I can fill out and try getting the money back, I don't know if the BC government will actually follow through tho

The 5DII now has a battery grip on it. That's going to take a bit of getting used to!

Anyone know if the 1D series feels like a body with a grip added to it, or better?

Mizouse

Yes, it's like a small body with a grip. But IMO feels better cause it's one piece. More solid feeling.

jupitersolo

Yeap, pro style bodies are some much better than a gripped one.

MWalsh9152

I love the way the 1D I picked up feels in my hands.

I love the feeling of a d3 is way better than a gripped d300 and d700

SaaBaaDoo

I'm going to be looking into a 1D3, 1D3s, or 1D4 then. Hopefully be able to get into one of those after Christmas.
