So when the theme is flowers, and people are posting tulips in August, I shouldn't assume that they flew south of the equator and found spring-time?

I don't have time to submit anything to the contests, but I agree, they are creative, and make you think, and work. I appreciate the creativity that went into thinking them up! So, thank you!

Our goal is to rent an RV and travel Alaska for 2 weeks next summer. I've been putting off looking into it. Thanks for inspiring me to get moving!

Oh please do explain that to me in more detail. I've been using the view finder to focus, because I can't see the live view well enough to focus with it.


I have a Canon 60D. In live view you can move the "magnifying frame" to select what you want to bring into focus. You hit the "magnify button" to enlarge the area. It's amazing that what looks in focus in normal view is no where near in focus when magnified 5 or 10 times. It's especially useful when you have a very shallow depth of field.

Thanks Cheri :D You know, I really loved that shot with the fog rising off the river too. It was so beautiful that morning. I was a little crabby and stressed out until I got it all figured out. Well, I still don't have it ALL figured out. That will take years. Cameras have so many bells and whistles now. It's mind boggling.

I have the same camera and I learn something new every time I read the manual, which is often. And I get so mad at myself for what I missed at the beginning, like being able to zoom in on the screen 5x and 10x to get things in perfect focus. I missed the shot of a lifetime because I didn't know to do that at first.

I liked "The Next Day" and the bridge the best. You figured out the camera pretty well I'd say.
We've seen our share of the inside of ER's across the country also. I learned to pack crutches, braces, wraps, and a pharmacy etc. into our little camper. Who needs ketchup anyway?

There is something I like about these photos. But I have no idea if they would seem interesting to anyone else. And which is the most appealing?
I've never asked for a critique before. Let me have it!

My wife and I are heading north for an extended visit to our 49th state. I've been planning this trip for a long time. Traveling land sea and air.

We won't have internet access much of the time, but I'll try to post photos as I can. I set up a Zenfolio account: greglepper.zenfolio.com

Wish us well on our big adventure.

Greg


If, after planning for months for your dream trip, you forget your battery charger, you can get one drop shipped at Danali. (Same for Hood River, Oregon), not that I would know anything about that...
(Where's that section on spare camera stuff for sale on UHH?)

It's so beautiful there you could take all of your photos with your eyes closed and still do well!

I was wondering if anybody out there has a recommendation of the best photography labs. My daughter, who usually says for some of the best, ask me to do the pics for her! This is quite a compliment for me! Yay! I need the final photos to be really topnotch!
Thanks,
Cindy


Cindy,
I am sorry that you asked a simple question and got flack in return. Same thing happened to my daughter. Simple question about night photography for a friend, and was told she had no business doing the job. It wasn't the question. She hasn't been on since.
I received this from her yesterday. It is an eye opening test of photo labs, and the one I love (Adorama for photo books) did not fair well! The good news is that I can save some money and get better results. Have a look:

Thank you everyone! I knew you would come through! I am especially grateful for the advice on the heat, which we will NOT be used to, and my husband doesn't tolerate at all. Also, thank you for the advice on a wide angle lens. I was about to order a Sigma 10-20 when my daughter told me that there is a new one out there-which means more research (I may never get around to ordering!) Or maybe I should head straight to Rollie's. I was looking at a site that talked about Apache junction. It mentioned that a 4-wheel drive off-road vehicle was suggested. Of course, we'll be renting a car. Please, keep the suggestions coming, if anyone else has something to offer. It looks like we will need to make more than one trip to see this wonderful area. I really can't wait!

Head north on the way to Flagstaff on Rt 89a and stop at Sedona. The Red Rock country. Turn right on Airport rd and go to the top. There is a vortex there. Go into the town proper and and turn right on Rt 179, goto the town of Oak Creek. Look for School house rd and turn right. goto the end of the dirt rd for the best view of Cathedral Rock.( seen in many of the old westerns) Also check out Bell Rock just down the main road.


Thank you very much. I can't wait to get there! Your photos are inspiring!

I will be in Phoenix May 2 and May 8. In between I will be in the Flagstaff area (FINALLY get to see the Grand Canyon!) I am looking for places to go to sight-see the afternoon of the 2nd after we fly in. Nature, views, etc. Suggestions anyone?

I would strongly advise that there is a significant difference between 18mm and 10mm.
I think your friend is wrong.
I am primarily a landscape and seascape photographer.
If I had your camera and I could only choose 1 lens for landscape photography it would be either the 10-22mm Canon or the Sigma 10-20mm F/4.5-5.6.
I own this Sigma lens and use it on my Nikon D90. I already had the Nikon 18-200mm VRii.

The Sigma 10-20mm revitalised my photography. It is a brilliant landscape lens.
I wouldn't worry about paying the extra for the F/3.5.
You will take 99% of your shots at F/8 to F/22.

That is what these ultrawides are about - front to back sharpness and a strong foreground.
With this lens on your camera you can be in focus from 5 inches to infinity - so get low and close to a flower or a rock and put the Grand Canyon or a group of mesa behind it.
The slot canyons will love it.
With good light you will take the best pics you have ever taken.
It will blow the 18-200mm out of the water!!

Thank you Lighthouse this is exactly the information I was looking for. I didn't realise about the extra depth of field. The tour I am doing actually overnights within all the National Parks so I'm hoping to be able to get some sunrise and sunset shots. I will go ahead and buy the Sigma 10-20 f4 lens. Many thanks.

B&H has that Sigma for $479. That's for the f/4-5.6 version. The f/3.5 version is $599. The Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 is on sale for $679. I don't know if that's the best price, but In my opinion, that's the best place to deal with. Also, free shipping.
