Interesting that they don't mention that the two (2) successful winter rescue flights were done by Canadians.

If anyone knows how to deal with the frigid temperatures it's all of us here in the "Great White North".

I love a well done rendition of Christmas Carols - this is possibly one of the BEST!

I saw Crowded House for the first time in the early 1980's when they opened for a Bruce Hornsby and The Range. They were playing at Massey Hall in downtown Toronto. This is one of the oldest performance houses in Toronto with wonderful accoustics and character.

They were fanstastic and it's the first time I ever saw an opening act come out for an encore.

For the record - Bruce Hornsby was also a phenomenal act that day - talk about getting your money's worth for a show.

Hello all,

My daughter has been studying ballet, jazz, & tap since she was about 4 years old. Last May was her final dance showcase as she completed her Associate level jazz certification. I have the good fortune to have the studio's permission to shoot at the showcase and sell photos to the families (at very competitive prices compared to most of the services out there).

The photo below is from the start of her final solo. Initially I hadn't thought much of the shot but it has grown on me greatly and I'm curious what others (i.e. not her biased father) think of the shot. I'm very limited in what I can do - I shoot from a specific location and the studio director wreaks havoc with the lighting.

Let me know.

When I was in High School, there wasn't an active photography club but we did set up a dark room in one of the Science Lab prep rooms. One year we were doing all of the processing for the yearbook for the "formal" team photos. The teacher advisor told one of the students to pickup chemicals to get the dark room set up. He went out and bought negative developer, stop bath and fixer but instead of bringing it in to school, he took it home and brought in chemicals that he had there - which had expired!!

Almost every shot that we developed came out washed out and totally lacking in contrast. They raced aroudn trying to re-take a bunch of the shots but that yearbook has a bunch of poor quality photos. I totally respect that teachers restraint in dealing with the 'culprit'.

Just to clarify - the crop factor applies to both EF and EFS lenses.
If you put a 24-70 EF lens on a Canon 80D and take a shot at 24mm and then put a 18-135mm EFS lens on the same 80D and take a shot with the lens set at 24mm zoom, what you see will be the same.

24mm is 24mm regardless of whether you are using an EF or an EFS lens. It's the sensor that determines the crop factor.

The compatibility of Canon lens is only one way. You cannot mount a Canon "S" lens to a full frame camera. The reason is that the "S" lens is made to focus the image on a cropped sensor. The cropped sensor is smaller than the full frame sensor by a factor of 1.6. Canon lenses which carry a "EF" designation (without the "S") are made for full frame sensors, but will mount to a Canon cropped sensor body, like the 80D. When mounting a "EF" lens to the 80D, cropped sensor, the image that will be projected on the sensor will be larger than the sensor. The sensor will only produce the portion of the image that is from center to the edge of the cropped sensor. This gives the illusion of a larger subject in the image. Some think the "EF" gives better "reach" or possibly some magnification but that is not so. Example would be using a 50mm lens on a full frame camera, take a shot. The shot will show the full frame view of the lens. Now, mount the 50mm lens to a 80D, and take the same shot. When you look at the 80D shot you will notice the center subject will be the same, but the outer edge will be cut off. This is due to the angle of view of the cropped camera sensor. So, on your 80D you can use any Canon EF lens, including any Canon "L" quality lens, with either the red ring, or white telephoto lenses. When you mount a EF lens to your 80D, you can calculate the crop factor by multiplying the lens mm by 1.6. (50mm X 1.6= 80mm angle of view) Now, for third party lenses. With the 80D, you'll not have a problem, all the third party lens makers have both type of lenses in their lineup. Good luck with your 80D, and any lens you mount on it.

I love my coffee. I have my own Keurig machine sitting on my desk at work so that I don't have to pay $1.50 in the cafetteria. I think the machine paid for itself in the first month that I owned it.

What I also have and love is a small Salton mug warmer. I have had it on my desk since 1985 and it continues to work flawlessly - despite being left on over the weekend a few times - wonderful black gunk in the bottom of the mug on Monday.

MY is bang on.
I shoo with a 7D2. I have both the 18-135 EFS and a 24-70 EF L lens.
If i set them both at 70mm zoom I get exactly the same field of view.
The efs lenses extend into the camera slightly and that is the main reason you can't use them on a full frame camera - they would impact the mirror.

To complicate matters - Mexico actually changes their clocks back a week earlier than the US and Canada. Our company has a 50% stake in joint venture just outside of Mexico City and for this week we've had to work with a 2 hour time difference instead of the usual 1 hour. It plays havoc with regularly planned conference calls.

It would be better if this idiocy just came to an end.

By focus on positives, I mean keep the criticism constructive. Comment on things that the photographer can actually influence or do.

It would be great if feedback and comments in this forum could be limited to photographic techniques:
Lighting
Posing
Backdrops
Props, etc

And not to making comments on features or aspects of the model that may be a matter of taste and are most certainly not within the photographer's abilbity to influence at all.

Let's keep this forum focused on positives.

I have the good fortune to live in Toronto and have been to the Tilley store several times. I also own one of their hats and love it. They are the pinnacle of the build a better product marketing strategy.
One other Tilley item that you may also like is their "Vest of Many Pockets" or "VOMP". Makes a great photographers vest and is produced with the same commitment to quality.

Would love to see more of your work with Eclipse. She is obviously very comfortable posing for you and that makes for fabulous shots.

Guys,

I am a relatively "new" wedding/event shooter with only a few functions under my belt. Due to some strange circumstances, I was the only shooter at all of them.

I probably had no right to do the first wedding I did but I have worked in the wedding/catering industry for many years and I have a good feel for how the overall day has to flow. In all cases, my clients have been pleased but I for one know that I need to continue to learn to provide the best value to my clients.

I appreciate all of the feedback and suggestions that you "more seasoned" shooters are able to provide. I haven't had to deal with an overly obnoxious crowd at this point but I do know that a calm head and pleasant but firm manner are as much a part of my tool kit as my lenses and my flashes.

Keep providing your viewpoints gentlemen - they are appreciated - even if we don't pipe up as often as we should to say "Thank You!"

Wayne

When you shoot for trade what is it that you are trading?


You are both trading time. The model is not charging you to pose and you are not charging her/him to shoot.
Hence the old expression "time for prints"

You each end up with photos for your portfolio with neither of you having to part with any cash.
