Every time camera straps come up, there is a large outcry of "Don't use camera strap in the tripod screw mount on your camera!"
Yet their still seem to be a lot of photographers using this method so my question!
"Does anyone know of a personal instance they have seen where using a camera strap ruined or damaged their camera?"
I'm looking for real stories -- waiting with "baited breath!" :)

Do I have to change the clock in my 7d or will it change automatically.? Just a thought here but I allways thought that the changes from from stsndard to daylight savings is sort of like trying to make an 11 foot rope out of a 10 foot rope by cutting 1 foot off 1 end and attaching to the other end.
Thanks for the reminder -- I reset all the necessary clocks and forgot to check the camera!!! :)

Please be brutal...I'm trying to learn
A couple of hints that people shared with me --
--use a tripod so you can use a smaller aperture and get greater depth of field
--Avoid shooting at eye level, shoot from about waist high and usually from a corner.

I grew up playing football and baseball in Orange County. Now that I'm retired I get to give back to the sports I love by using my photograph skills. I would welcome any feedback on my picture and future pictures. Thanks.
Ok, my take will be a little different. I like what you did with the lighting. The original is quite bright on the upper left side, drawing your attention in that direction, making it difficult to determine a real "focal point." However, in your process photo, by darkening this area, I feel your eyes are drawn to a clear focal point.
Perhaps the colors are a bit oversaturated, but I'm sure most (especially non photographers) would choose the processed photo!
Good work and keep on shooting! :)

I bought my husband this lens for Valentine Day. He will be using my old Canon T2i with it. After he opens it and plays with it awhile I will try it out and let you know what I think. It is big but not much heavier than my Canon 100-400L lens. Good luck!
Ok First I said, WOW! what a gift, wish my wife loved me this much! :) . . . . then I read the rest -- "I will try it out later . . ." Now we know the real reason for the purchase!
Kudos and have fun with the lens -- we'll be looking for the great results!
Many years ago I read that the cull rate for National Geographic prints was about 10.000 to one! Don't know if that's a fact or not, but it impressed me!
One saying I heard once was, "The difference between a great photographer and a mediocre photographer was the number of photos in the recycle bin!"
just hope no one picks up the rock and throws it "down the road!"
Just came across this resource of information that may be of interest to others seeking to improve their skill set!

Here is a link to some "close-up" photos of a pride of lions -- at the bottom of the page is a video of the "photo shoot!"

You may ask, how did this guy get to be CEO! I guess the -- rises to the top. If you have stock in Adobe, look out! Several years ago they lost out for a while and Quark took over the desktop publishing market. I would predict they will see a downturn until they figure out how important their customers really are.
I have a friend who is a reseller of Adobe forms software and they have almost quit selling Adobe products and are using alternatives because of Adobe's arrogant disregard for customers and even their business partners.
I've used them several times -- Used to teach a high school photo class, had to send in a few cameras -- reasonable priced and did great work! I'd use them any day.
