thanks, feel free tell any other advice about 1D too

never used one before -

Mizouse

My IIn is alot different than the III & IV so maybe jup can chime in better.

jupitersolo

I can't remember too much of the III (get it back in my hands, I would), not much difference really. Just get the camera before you have to shoot with it and play with it. Shouldn't be that much, but you will fall in love with a probody... you have been warned...

srika

great.... maybe I should start saving up....

fail. Went into Boston....it was the busiest Ive ever seen it in all my travels through there. Traffic was insane, parking was impossible due to the volume of vehicles, and lack of spaces due to snow.

Back at home after not even taking a single shot

srika

don't beat yourself up over it, it happens. try again sometime?

Just wondering. What does everyone use to clean their monitor? It appears that a few fingerprints aren't coming off (wifey-daughter) and wanted something that might handle this w/o doing harm. Any ideas?

TS_eXpeed

Holy DAMN.
That shit is cool.

MWalsh9152

Rubin, thanks....I think I'll live I had a few areas in mind that I knew would be desolate....down by the waterfront, but they had removed all the snow from the area already.

At least I saw a few places that I could try and hit again on a weeknight.

I have a monitor spray cleaner that I think I got at Staples, and wipe it with a microfibre towel

+1, but also looking at removal of fingers will help.

Mizouse

you want to remove peoples fingers for touching your monitor???

MWalsh9152

I often want to

I use iKlear for my iMac and my Dell laptop and anything else with a screen for that matter. Does quite well at removing fingerprints. It's so-so at removing fingers.

The also have products w/out the "i" in front of it.

Thanks for the info. Finger removal was considered, professional removal isn't cost effective and doing it at home would create a mess, and then I would have to remove blood spatter off my monitor, because they wouldn't stay still!

Mizouse

so lazy on selling off my camera gear...

Mizouse

anyone know of a picture hosting/sharing site that has the capability for my friends or family that i give the link to could order photos to print?

i was thinking shutterfly? but

is300eater

Picasso or w.e. It's call

Mizouse

ohh nice, but not really looking for a desktop manager for my photos.

einsatz

You can use smugmug for that.

Flickr will also let people order prints if you let them (check the account settings). But I think smugmug gives you a cut and flickr doesn't.

cool photo and read from Vincent Laforet in 2004 that I've never seen before.

studying the 1D4 user manual, this thing is sick!

exposure meter looks

srika

disappointed with its AEB options tho - its only 3 shots!

Mizouse

you sure? i think mine can do 5.


edit: my IIn can do 7 as well.

Mizouse

so you can do up to 7!!

jupitersolo

You can do up to 9 with a D300...

so they got me a 1DsMk3. I'm disappointed because I was really looking for a current generation camera. such as 1D4, 5D2, or 7D (and that was the order of my request). This camera is great but just doesn't handle the highlights like the current-gen cams do. Anyways, making the best of it.

srika

so, can you like, vote for my photo? I'd love to win a trip for 2 to Kenya! thanks!

Mizouse

Serious? Iirc the 1Ds3 is still supposed to have the best dynamic range even compared to the newer cams.

srika

no, it doesnt. I could have done better w the 7D.

srika

hmm.. you know I need some more seat time with the photos. let me get back to you on this. lol

ohh well...

Mizouse

i think im going to finally post my gear for sale this weekend....

srika

thanks for that. too bad I couldn't test it out for myself. because, I'm going by what I see, not numbers. I *feel* like I would have got better pictures from current gen cameras, just from having used a 7D and 5D2. I feel like those cameras (and the 1D4) capture highlights better. Maybe its just the subject matter thats making me shake my head.

here is an unedited shot -

Mizouse

dang what is that?


looks like something from Doom3

Mizouse

you're right about the 5DII and mkIV, but thats just in dynamic range.

the 1DS3 still has the best color depth, but not by much.

Mizouse

aww ken why did you delete yer post?

is300eater

I dunno... I deleted after noticing that the 7D goes a lot higher in ISO...

but here's that graph again

Then again, its FF vs crop

jupitersolo

It is more of a studio or landscape camera, now that you say that.
