I think you'll find having two cameras handy. I'd put your 18-55 on one and your 75-300 on another. You might never have to switch lenses that way on your trip.
Had been using the Tamron most but started using the 18-55 more and like the results and I like you suggestion for the 2 camers.

Wife and I just started planing a early May trip to Gatlinburg. Anyone know how to save a few dollars while there? Also need some suggestions as to where the good pictures are.
We will go thru Nashville to get there. It is normally a 10 hour drive from home but we can take 2 days or more to get there, any ideas?

feel free to change anything, time permitting I would just like to know how you do what you do. As far as color goes my knowledge is limited to blue and yellow makes green(I think). My mode of operation is that if it dosen't work get a bigger hammer. Ever now and then even a blind hog comes up with an acorn. Living in central Illinois this is a good time of year to sit in front of the computer and learn something. This is my first time playing with candles and I just had no idea what to expect knowing so little about color and light.
I thank you for your kind comments and suggestions. My brother is coming in this afternoon from the east coast, so I, going to lose a few days but will be back trying ASAP.

Chuck, you are the 4th of 4 that has told me that I'm heading in the wrong direction. I without a creative bone in my body will wise up and listen to what you people are telling me. I just did a little review of the postings of all 4 of you and have respect for the creativity and knowledge of all of you.
Some of my work is acceptable but none artistic, but with the help of members of the hog it will move in the right direction. Thank you all.

Everyone likes the colors except me and I'm trying to get rid of them. In the first shot I didn't worry about focus and composition I was looking for a white Santa. The attached is more like what I wanted, but I don't know how I got there. All I did was zoom in, unplug the tree, and focus better. This still not the composition I'm looking for but as you can see the sun came up and messed up my back ground, I'll try again tonight.
Thank you for the comments and sugestion, I think I will be playing with this one for a few days.

Canon 60D, custom wb(I think), .6 seconds,F4, ISO 1600
Hat, beard, and suit are snow white, tree lights are LED blue
set custom wb with white paper, I think I did it right, should I be able to get pure white on the hat, suit, and beard or is it going to pick up the glow from the candle?
This is my first try at candle light, been at it since 4AM and not making mush headway. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Since I first posted this, both my father-in-law and life long friend have been admitted to the ER. After all day yesterday in the hospital I returned home to read the comments of all the well wishers and have to believe you all played a part in their recovery. The friend will be home this afternoon, my father-in-law has a long way to go but he made a big step yesterday. Thank you UHH members.
