I'm not buying the "experts opinion" either. I would like to see ALL of the information on those studied. Were games the only thing they had in common, or did they all, or at least the vast majority of them, have a mental disorder? After all, one could say every drunk driving death involved a person driving a car, but the real reason behind the death was the driver had consumed too much alcohol.
As a retired Corrections Officer who worked the mental health unit for several years, I can tell you that the majority of those who were in prison for violent crimes did have some sort of mental illness, or were victims of abuse as young children.

I quickly put a gradient filter on it with Elements 11. I'm sure with different adjustments you would find just what you're looking for.

I own a 7D and it does very well in low light. Obviously, the faster the lens you have the better. Is there any reason why you can't bounce your flash?

For me, it begins where ever I decide the shot needs to be fixed (manipulated) for whatever reason (I'm looking for it to look as close to as what I saw with my eyes, or I'm looking for a particular look/effect). Photography is subjective, and it's also personal. It may not look properly exposed to one person, but to the photographer who took the shot it's what he imagined and planned for.
I don't think there is a right or wrong way, it's an individual decision.

I think the 7D photos look bad with black shadows all over the place.

Not convinced at all. I have a 7D, and I get great shots all of the time. As the saying goes, "It's not the camera, but who's behind the camera".

The doctrine of fair use covers most issues with photography, but hasn't really come into line with digital photography. It isn't necessarily "wrong" if you're looking at it legally, but it might be, no one really knows for sure. Be safe and ask permission.

I've lived in New England my entire life (with the exception of 4 years in the USMC) and I can tell you that the fall colors will most likely give you as much photo opportunities as you have ever had.
Every place you mentioned on you itinerary will give you plenty of shots with some of the most beautiful colors you have ever seen. Your best choice will certaily be your wide angle lens, you'll probably use 95% of the time.
Have a great time, and Welcome to New England!

I recently up graded from (but still use) a Canon Rebel XS to the 7D. I shoot a lot of my daughters Field hockey and Lacrosse games, so the 7D is perfect for it.
I have recently been hired for several different types of photography jobs, and I enjoy having the two bodies so I don't have to change lenses on one camera. However, my cards and lawn signs do have a quote that I still stand by. "It's not the camera, but who's behind the camera".

Definitely a strong 2. I make good money doing it, but also have solid income from investments and other employment. I don't have to shoot what others like, but I will if asked nicely.

I shot this image this evening and it is over exposed. It also appears grainy. I would really appreciate your thoughts. Is it because of the ISO???
I was using a Canon T2i body with a Canon 70-300 L IS USM lens. Normally I don't have a problem like this with this combo.
A number of the images I shot appeare over exposed. The images when the ISO was at 500 or lower are fine.
My camera was set at shutter priority. ISO automatic.
Many thanks!!!!

I played with it very quickly, and this is what I got. Hope you don't mind.

In all this, your artistic judgment and common sense should reign supreme ![/quote]
You make my point well for me. That's an opinion, period. Photography, like any other form of art is subjective. Personally, I would NEVER buy a Picasso, but his paintings are worth millions of $$$. I couldn't say he ever used artistic judgment or common sense, but maybe you can. Are either of us wrong, no.
"People are wrong, only because their beliefs are different from yours."

Not so much a "Tip" as it is a pet peeve. When another photographer tells me I wasn't correct on my exposure, rule of thirds, lighting, etc. when they didn't know what look I was going for in the first place. I have even heard self proclaimed "Professionals" explain how various photos they were looking at were all wrong, only to let them know that they were taken by one of the all time great photographers, and still they go on about how the shot is fundamentally incorrect (it happens on this forum more times than not too). Yes, I know, if you're photographing for a client and they don't like it that's one thing. If you're shooting for your own pleasure, and another "Photographer" tells you it's wrong, it's OK to tell him/her they don't know what they're talking about.

I would love to have the Canon 50mm lens. BUT, her... (show quote)
I shoot with a Canon 7d And a Rebel XS (for back up) and have excellent results with both using the f1.8. I have had it for over a year, and use it almost every day without an problems at all. If it did break down, I WOULD get another one. For $100.00 and in today's market, that's practically disposable.
