Has anyone been able to capture the comet that is going past the earth this month? I went out this morning, but did not get anything useful. If you have been able to take a picture, what time, which direction, and what size lens did you use? It is reported to be seen with the naked eye?? I didn't see anything with a 'tail'?? (looked NE and E from Tennessee)
This is the best one I've gotten so far looking northeast. There's a great web page that shows where to look. It's what I used to home in on the comet. Took some binoculars to pinpoint it, but once my eyes adjusted to the dark, I could see it without binoculars.

Settings for this shot:
3.2 seconds
f/8
ISO 3200
WB: daylight (sunny)
That was with my Canon 7D / Canon 70-300mm IS II USM at 250mm
I autofocused on Venus, then turned off autofocus and image stabilization (since I had it on a tripod).

Lol, I didn’t see the multiplication sign in last one!
My last final answer is 10
My last final answer is 10
It's 10 just for the boy and the one shoe. What about the two shoes he's wearing, and the three bouquets?

OK, I changed my mind. Here is what I come up with:
2 shoes = 10 therefore 1 shoe =5
Boy = 5
2 bouquets = 4 therefore 1 bouquet = 2
Final formula is:
1 shoe + (boy holding 2 bouquets and wearing 2 shoes) X 1 bouquet which would numerically be 5 + (5+4+10) X 2 or 5+19X2. Using the MDAS method of solving that would then be 5+38=43 (final answer).
2 shoes = 10 therefore 1 shoe =5

I think we have a winner! Do you get a brand new camera? ;)

I knew I shouldn't have done this when I was tired. I forgot to do the multiplication on both sides of the X sign before adding the first part.
FINAL ANSWER: 23

Ah, crap! I should know better. These things are, like the OP said, all about observation. Turns out the boy is wearing those same red shoes in the last one. Missed that 'cause I normally don't wear ANY shoes. LOL
FINAL FINAL ANSWER: 43

Depends if you do the multiplication first or last. First I get 43, last I get 48,

I am at a loss here. Where did the information come from that says this image was taken at 1/1,000 sec?
When I look at the image in Adobe Bridge it tells me that the shutter speed is 1/160 second. I get the same information when using Jeffrey Friedl's Image Metadata.
What am I missing?

For those saying the shutter speed was 1/1000, that's what the web page http://exif.regex.info/exif.cgi reports, but in the actual CR2 file, both Irfanview and Faststone Image Viewer report 1/160 and 1/166 respectively. I'd say if it's actually in that range, that's the problem. The shutter speed SHOULD be what the web page reports for it to attempt to freeze the bee's wings, but this definitely looks more like a shutter speed of 1/160, not 1/1000.
As for the metering, it was set to center weighted average. Also, for the focus being off, it was set to AI Servo, which I'd use to try tracking a moving object like that, but you'd want to set all focus points on so it could pick the right one. At that point, it's up to the camera to decide what you're after, and that's where it gets tricky. As someone else said, no focus point was shown in the data, so either the lens focusing was switched off, or it just didn't register the focus point when the image was captured. Mine does that occasionally. It's rather annoying.

Is the Speedlite fried? If so, perhaps it's because the batteries were still in it. At least it's not terribly expensive. Were these pix taken before the laundering? ;)
I did that once with a Dremel. Don't ask me how I didn't notice the sound of the thud when I threw everything from the basket into the washing machine. I figured out what the thud was after the fact. Ended up throwing out some of the attachments, but the Dremel survived. Hope your lenses are OK.

I've bought Wasabi batteries a couple of times. They typically don't hold a charge for quite as long as the OEM battery, but it's not enough to really even worry about. Considering the major difference in price, I'd say get the Wasabi battery and see how it goes. I've had good luck so far.

I've used Irfanview for years, but for viewing / tagging / deleting after a shoot, I've been using FastStone Image Viewer a lot lately. It lets me flip through photos faster than Irfanview, and by hitting "Q" I can tag a photo. Really handy feature. Lets you tag photos, then show only those photos, then you can drag and drop them into Lightroom or whatever you use.
