Saddens me every time I drag old camera bags out of the closet and look at my Hassie bought in Germany (Air Force) back in the 60's, my RB67 with a full complement of lenses, my old 1950's Kodak MasterView 4X5, etc. etc. Seems like technology changes daily, and naturally a really good photog should have the newest and the best??? Have always shot Nikon and seems like they replace cameras daily with the newest and absolutely necessary-to-have units??? My old D200 still produces pictures that I feel are competitive with those shot with my D800. I know, I know - totally different everything, but still concerns me that technology changes almost daily. Also, photographers today are not necessarily real photogs but computer wizards able to make a great pic out of a sow's ear??

I am going to be photographing my nieces wedding this week and am looking for any advice to help me take great photos. I am not a professional and will not be getting paid but I would like to give her this as her wedding gift. I have a Canon 6d, 7d. I have several lenses 24-105mmL, 70-200mmL non is, 50 mm 1.8. Does anyone have any advice on camera settings in the church and reception or general advice? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Run Quickly Away - You could be very close to losing valuable familial ties doing this sort of thing. Happens more than you might think.

Tripod

Hi, can someone suggest a good tripod for use with my Nikon D7100? I've heard Manfrotto is good used with a ballhead. I'm looking in the range of $200.00 to $400.00.

Be on the lookout. I bought a Gitzo at a yard sale for $50. It had a stripped thread on one of the leg nuts and I sent it back to Gitizo and with their lifetime warranty got a like-new tripod back in about 2 weeks. Deals are out there- you just have to find them.

Why do lenses cost so much?

It's pretty cheap if it is used. Any amount is a waste if it isn't used. I would measure the use in number of "keepers" and amount of fun. :-)

Because I bought a new car in 1963 for about $2800 (give or take a little) and today that same car would run about, what - probably 30,000???

canon versus nikon

I am looking to get into photography with long term goal of being a serious amateur, taking photographs that would be suitable for local camera club competitions

which is best system to start off with, Nikon or Canon?

Flip a coin - you will never tell the difference. When you buy quality - you get quality, eh?? In fact, you could flip several coins and still get a great photographic machine. I have shot Nikon for 30 plus years so that is my camera of choice. I still have an old Hassey, RB67, 4X5, and bunches of stuff, but I shoot a Nikon digital and love it. You can't go wrong either way.

Who is your all time favorite photographer?

Did anyone ever know John Netherton, from Nashville? He passed away a couple of years ago but was recognized as a great nature photog. I lived in Nashville for a short time and met him and went on a couple of his nature "outings" Wonderful guy and a fantastic photog.
