Chuck,

Why do you want a wide angle lens? What is it you want to shoot? Landscapes? Architecture? Interiors or exteriors? Knowing this would be helpful to these fine hogs in determining what lens to suggest.

Looking for travel camera recommendations

Do you have a budget? If not, a Leica M and a couple lenses! Small, compact, full frame 24MP, best pictures!

Of course it is expensive.

110 baud?

My my, THAT is ancient... I go back to 300 baud myself! :) Was that an acoustic coupler perhaps?

In grad school we had to make an appointment to line up in front of one of the Prof's offices to use the AC. We had to submit a defense of our need to use it ahead of time as well.

Printer for Photos and Documents

Jeff Smith 1 wrote:

Yes, and frankly that's what I also do. However, this is for my daughter and she'd prefer not to have two printers. Granted, desk space can be a problem.

What are her demands for a printer? Is it mostly docs and an occassional photo? Or is it a lot of Photos and an occassional doc? Are the photos for serious display or resale or just to hang in a dorm room? Will she be printing 3x5 or 11x17? Is she a photographer or are these photos from her cell phone?

Yow, I finally managed to see what it is. At my age you try not to tilt your head too far 'cause your body may follow it and you can find your butt on the floor beside your chair. I'm wondering what ever happened to a nice black and white target pinned to the fence outside, a target where you can check out the dynamic range as well as whatever noise is there??? You can find about anything in a furball... well, maybe 'cept an tilted owl.

To be honest, it toll me a while too. But once you see it, you see it.

Food Photography

Not sure that $1000 is enough to get into that field. Aside from camera and lens, there is studio equipment and a ton of various odd items that are needed to make food look good on camera. Various sprays to make a bottle of beer look cold and dripping with moisture for instance. Those folks know A LOT of tricks and need to have the material to carry them all off.

Using Manuel Settings

MaryAnn,

Under the conditions you describe, even 2 seconds of the shutter being open will still be far to fast, and over exposure will still result because the aperture would have to be too small an opening (and probably not attainable on your lens) to still give you a viewable image.

On sunny days, with a reasonable ISO and Aperture, the shutter speed would be more like 1/400th or 1/250th of a section, at something like an ISO of 400 and aperture of f8-f16.

I think you mean "far too long" or "far too slow" not fast.

I think this thread is a great idea, Sharpie! Good job.
And I hate it when the OP is nowhere to be found after 5 pages of responses to what to buy, how to shoot, what's the best lens for ..., etc.

Or when the first 5 pages are asking the OP for baisc info missing from their original post. If you are not going to be around to participate, DON'T POST until you can!

I'm glad you told us what it is a pic of 'cause it isn't evident - looks like some kind of fur or something. Sure do wish you had made a pic that had a distinguishable subject.

To help you, the beak is just about center. The eyse are closed and are, well, above and to the right and left of the beak. There is a tilt to the head...

You reallly can't see that it is an owl???

Really??

Using Manuel Settings

Now wait. My old xti is in a closet someplace but my newer canon shows 10 meaning 1/10. They DO NOT show the "/". So when she says 10 she means 1/10.

On the screen my t3i shows 1/10. In the view finder, I think it shows 10 for 1/10. So it really depends on what she was looking at. When she simply said 10, with no other information, I assumed she meant 10 instead of 1/10.

Using Manuel Settings

NoSocks wrote:

The way I interpret her objective is to keep all in the photo sharp except the motion of the wave, which she is trying to soften, hence the longer shutter speed. All else aside, she is not going to get a photograph of anything on a sunny day at the beach with a 1/10 exposure. She needs a hefty neutral density filter and that's that.

She said was using a speed of 10 not 1/10. The t3i has a shutter speed range of 1/4,000 to 30. A setting of 10 is more that a little softening.

Prime Lens Usage Suggestions Needed

Peekayoh wrote:

The 35mm Prime is one of my favourite lenses on a FF camera.

In your shoes, I would analyse my pictures and see which FLs get the most use, you may get a surprise. BTW, this is quite easy to do with Adobe Bridge but I can't answer for other progs.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

I often suggest looking at existing shots to see what you normally end up shooting. Especially, in this case, looking to see if you frequently shoot near 35 when using your zoom.

However, there is still the discipline and learning issue of forcing yourself to shoot at a fixed FL.

Using Manuel Settings

If you were at 10 seconds and everything else was ok (the smallest possible apeture lowset possible ISO) and you got a picture, it would have so much motion blur that you would not see any waves just motion trails. It might even be interesting. But a wave is moving. If you want a picture of a wave, you need a fast shutter speed. 1/500 or faster depending on wave speed.
