Goldwing! Why would you need a camera just to go for an ice cream cone :)
No wonder you're in hiding Jim...
:-D

Can't let this one go... The 'core photography skills' that you speak of apply to digital cameras in exactly the same way as film cameras. Why go back to the dark ages of film ? It's dead in the water.
It's also far more expensive to use film and you have to wait to view your results. I just can't see the logic in your suggestion. Discipline is self imposed, you're disciplined or you're not, your choice... and three months of regular shooting on either film or sensor will improve your skills equally.. Reading, listening and understanding are the answer. Experiment, compare. Talk to other photographers, so many ways to find the way forward..
Never go back...

To those that saw my poke at Milwaukee Iron as tongue-in-cheek, I salute you.. To those that saw it as an assault on their beloved HD, welcome to the hook on the end of the line..
I think we're all agreed, isolate your camera and lenses from vibration, dust and water best you can. If you have Goldwing I'm really sorry... really.

Just shortly after that I learned that you're supposed to turn off the anti shake on you camera when shooting off a tripod. Oddly that bit of knowledge solved the problem of soft focus on my Fuji since I shot off a tripod most of the time.
I think that you either misunderstood or just made a typo.. You turn the 'anti-shake' off when using a tripod, not as you've stated in your posting..

Maybe go back to film for a while. You can pick up really good camera lens combinations for a decent price and the discipline of film will make you really think about your art.
That, IMHO, if it wasn't a joke, is plainly ridiculous...

Just love this old sepia image of a photographer that went the extra mile to get the shot..
Great advice for us all, try harder..

Thank you. It seems this Camera is coming up more often. Is it my eyes or is the 2AM shot just not crisp? i really want to get to this level of quality. Shot of one of my friends boy. Nikon D300S.
I can see a bit of a trend emerging here.... Please don't get disheartened.
Your Canon would have taken just as good an image as this..
The 2AM shot THROUGH a window AND being handheld really points to you not understanding the basics of photography and the fundamentals for obtaining a sharp image. Read all you can, study the forums, the 5D was/is a magnificent piece of equipment and capable of wonderful images.. Good luck with your quest..

We are planning a motorcycling holiday in Tasmania (Australia). We have a BMW R1200GS bike (stable, comfortable touring bike) and I have the Canon 5D Mk II. I wonder whether anyone has experience of motor cycle touring and could advise on whether I need to take any additional care of my camera. Many thanks, Jane.
With a BMW under you you'll have no problems.
However if you were riding a Harley all of the screws in your camera would fall out, it's a vibration thing.
An HD will also blur any images on your memory card..
You will love Tasmania, bike riders paradise.. Take your wet weather gear.
:-D :-D :-D :D

Thanks for the kind remarks guys.. I agree about the demise of the Rock, it's now so commercialised, much the same as the Olgas (Kata Tjuta) just down the road from the Rock. That used to be just a raw wilderness experience, now there's bitumen car parks and steel walkways. makes one sad.

A slightly different image of Uluru or Ayers Rock, Central Australia. Queues of backpackers and tourists flock to the Rock and attempt the climb, some die in the attempt. This was taken near dawn using a Nikon 801 and Velvia film, 300mm Nikkor and subsequently scanned. Quite a lot of sharpness was lost but it's quite contrasty and one almost gets away with it.. I liken the photo to ants climbing a stone..
It's a helluva climb and coming down's worse.. A real butt scraper.

Yes, juveniles have dark heads and tails. I believe until they are about three years old and then start their transformation.

Nice images. This bird has darker head plumage to the usual Bald-Eagle images, is it a juvenile or different species ? Pardon me if it's a dumb question, I'm from out of town..

IMHO a 'Free' virus protector is not worth two squirts of duck poo. Pay a few bucks for something like AVG that'll update itself and keep up with protecting you from new viruses and the rest of the rubbish that the net throws at you. Viruses change every day, it's just not worth the risk by taking the cheap option. As I say, IMHO.

I'm with Mtnman - get it off Aperture priority and on to Shutter priority, shake and movement are your enemies with long lenses.
Depth of field isn't your problem, f11/f8 are fine.
High ISO = less sharpness too.
