Great point on the family photos. As it happens I did not delete any of those, nor do I expect to.
I have spent about 20 hours looking at my stored photos. Using my increased skill level I have started to delete the photos that are no longer representative of what I can do. So far I have deleted 150 gb of 500gb I have on my hard drive. The criteria I have been using is "Would I print it". Does any one else do this? I normally delete photos as I first examine them, but I still have way too many.
the only other thing that I have found that picks up the speed not mentioned above is when I turn off the IS. It focuses faster and gives me a higher frame rate. It also helps if you do not shoot with anything else on auto. my highest frame rate came when I turn off all auto including autofocus. This works well when you are waiting for a pitch, the ball to be hiked, penalty shot, free throw, or even a jump ball
Cuba supports the classical arts (Ballet and music). They have orchestras and ballet groups that travel the world and receive rave reviews. Omar Robles has captured some of the most stunning street scenes of ballet I have ever see. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ballet-in-cuba-photos_us_571f95f1e4b01a5ebde36cde?te=Upworthy
My 7D markII works with my glasses, once I added an eye cup adapter to it.

The real test would be filling the frame with a small object with a lot of small detail. Shoot a bird at 800 mm that fills the frame (distance is not important) and look at the detail.
To get a job as an on air reporter you have to carry, setup and record your own field reporting. No longer a photographer travelling with the on air reporter to record them in the field. In the studio most of the cameras are computer controlled robots with preset locations and no photographer anywhere near. Now when on location they don't want to send another person to record the reporter.
An Atlanta TV station offered buyouts to their on-air personalities. The reason is these talking heads needed a photographer when they were out doing stories. The on-air people who they are keeping all do their own photography. I have seen one of these do a shot of himself using a DSLR with a mounted light. I could not get close enough to see brands. So those of you who are very pretty and have a degree in journalism start practicing.

The measuring ruler is at an angle. Done so that the aiming point on the ruler should be in the sharpest focus.

Joel Sartore has been shooting for Nat Geo for over 20 yrs. In a video of his that I have he mentions that when on assignment he shoots about 1000 shots for every one that gets accepted for publication. He'll shoot scores of shots to get the one he has waited hours for.
The shot that comes to mind when Joel's name is mentioned is the one of a gazzillon mosquitoes on his feet. I hope that did not take hours or thousands of shots.
Adorama has a sale of a &D mark II and a Pixma pro 100 printer for $1200. That's an $800 dollar savings.

Sometimes this means "Go broke then go home"
Right time
right place
right equipment
right skill level
All require much time to learn. That is the beauty of digital. Take a shot, inspect it adjust your settings take another shot. If you are near the coast practice on seagulls in parking lots. Nearer home practice on pigeons. The old saying is as true for photography as anything else, Practice Practice Practice. (but also evaluate and adjust). When I think I have a decent shot I post it here on the BIF page or the True Macro page and take the critiques and apply them.
