But you then have to download whatever you've put up there.

What I've done is to buy 3 2TB USB drives ( who needs more than 2TB? Muahahahaha ) One is always at home, a second is never at home ( friend or family ) and a third is used as a shuttle and is where ever you are.

I did not buy them all at the same time; each having replaced older 1TB drives. I keep them in the mix for three years and replace before they die. The older ones serve as part of a sort of NAS getting retired as they hit six years or die.

That's odd. Flickr is part of Yahoo and I reset my password all the time with an different email address I have.

I used the hood as a guide, letting it touch the wires of the fence. Just pay attention to any shaking of our spectators hanging on the fence which in turn shake your camera.

I kind of cheated.

If you help the team at practices you become an 'assistant' coach. Just don't get in the way and be very agreeable. It also helps to give the players, coaches and other parents prints from the last time. Whenever you can, let your camera hang at your side towards your back and help with equipment. Especially the catcher. Shoot the batters of your team and don't forget the outfielders!

I was allowed to go where ever a coach could go but I usually stayed on the foul side of third.

Hey! I have the Yongnuo 560 II. Maybe its close enough. What settings do I use? I thought I'd tried everything on the shoe. It works very well as a slave.

I bought the previous version for less than $400 at KEH. It is AF and therefore a tad slow focusing and has no VR. But you're going to use a tripod and manually focus anyways. Right?

Oh! It does have an aperture ring so I can use it on my old Ftn.

It is a wonderful camera and is the top of the line of crop cameras. I bought it to re-learn photography, basically from scratch, and have gotten a bit over-whelmed by all the options the thing has.

I have two peeves;

1) The way the built-in flash works, or rather the way it insists on working if I want to put a non-Nikon flash on top. Would it have been so hard to be able to turn it off and have the hot shoe still work.

2) You can get 6-7 fps for the first second. After that, the best you can do is 2. That's if you shoot jpg only, use it's even smaller crop mode and use the fastest cards you can get. I use Sandisk 95 MB/s.

My three favorite things;

1) Movies are truly easy to do. Sound is exceptional, for what it is.

2) Any lens at all will work, even my old ones from the early 70's ( AIS ). Non-AI lenses will not mount because of the indexing ring.

3) High ISO. High ISO. High ISO.

Okay, a fourth thing...

High ISO!

Have they finally gotten it right?

No, not perfect focus. Unless you focused at infinity. 'Perfect' focus will be where you focused. 'Focus' is more of a gradient, where as you approach the point where you focused, it appears to be in better focus and becoming less focused as you continue past that point. Depth of field covers that range of distance that has acceptable focus.

For $1100, in a heart beat. It may not be sharpest, but if the shots Regis has taken are any indication at all, this will prove to be a fantastic lens. Certainly beats putting it on a TC.

Thanks for the response! But the unit did allow you to control things? We are talking about external software, not something internal to the camera. If so, then some better software is called for.

Can't the same be done with Nikon's WU-1a for $55? Or am I missing something?

I tend to switch around depending on the lighting conditions; shades, glasses or bare eyes. Adjusting the diopter. How much twiddling can that knobbie take?

LOL Now that there is funny. Made my day. Since he is a friend, I won't offer up my opinion.

I've tried Bower. I bought two of them at half the cost of a single Nikon battery. Together, they last half as long as a single Nikon. I guess I broke even, except I have to change them out more often.
