Good for you. I shoot full frame, often using a 500 f/4 lens with TC as needed also. I also shoot with a crop sensor when needed.

Whatever tool is needed to maximize image quality is utilized. When focal length is not enough or too bulky I'll grab my 7DII, it's just another tool.

If you can get close enough with the full frame camera, either physically or with focal length of course the full frame will rule in image quality. The crop sensor camera will rule with it's pixel density when you can't, with limitations of course, such as higher ISO's, DOF, etc. At such high focal lengths DOF does become a smaller factor however. Notice the small DOF on my previous post of the bird shot at f/5.6.

There is no logic, it's just math, science, and experience.

I usually carry a Ziploc bag with me when I go out shooting. I just noticed that there is another possible FREE source for equipment rain gear. The sheets and pillowcases that I recently bought came in a fairly thick plastic bag with a zipper. No, you can't shoot in the rain with it. I merely am suggesting a simple/free way to protect your equipment if you get caught in a downpour. It doesn't fold as easily as the Ziploc but I have a feeling I will put this new found bag to good use ... either outside or inside for storage.

David, I seem to recall this from a different discussion.
If you compose the photo and take it, the pic is yours, no matter where the memory card is but you better get it in writing!!

If the pic is clearly set up and composed by someone else and just says, ok, press here, that pic is not yours.

It seems there was some controversy because some dog had taken a photo by accidentally clicking a camera and where the copyrights went! :lol:

That's what I seem to recall. ;-)

I know this can be a heated discussion and has been discussed on here before. I did several searches and could not find this specific question.

If you, the photographer take a photo, you own the copyright to that photo. What if you are out somewhere taking photos and someone hands you their camera, and asks you to take a photo of them at that location. Who owns the copyright? You the photographer or the camera owner, because the image is on their memory card? Now the photo is so breath taking and the camera owner puts it on their personal website. So who has rights to that photo?

I am curious to see how the other forum members would think about this idea. Do you think it would be cool to have something like a lapel pin that you attach to your camera strap to identify you as a "hogger". I think it would be neat to be able to spot other members out there, especially when you are at some event like a car show, air show, county fair, etc. I personally would be willing to pay say 20 bucks for a pin that says I'm a "hogger" member. What does the rest to this world wide community think about this.
Thanks, PhotoPhred
