Anotherview wrote: Mark II, it has one significant shortcoming that I've found. Its maximum flash sync speed goes to only 1/160 second (whereas the Rebel goes to 1/200 second). The higher sync speed corresponds to higher shutter speed for controlling ambient light and balancing it with the flash lighting. Shooters who use flash lighting will understand this difference and its potential limitation of effect.
If you are using the Canon speedlite you can set it to sync at anyspeed you set your camera for I cannot afford the top of the line light in fact it's two steps down, but I shoot at high speeds for fast moving subjects (well above 1/250 sec) and my flash captures images for me. Thought you might like to know that feature exists. L3

The Canon 5DMIII is not justifide for nearly 3.5K dollars since it offers little above the MII...I did'nt spend time on item for items specs list, so I could have missed something...But the MII aside from color issues that I hope will someday be addressed with a software upgrade is an awsome camera with features that are barely exceeded by the D's models, yet at a price much lower than D's. Wait to see if the price comes down to a level that is much more comfortable. Anyone that has a 5DMII (your model) can tell you they are not unhappy and the tent issue if known can be a work around on all but the most critical of issues...just don't shoot a landscape with excess of trees or you will see the tent in vivid details. You already have the best for the price in my opinion. L3I used a 7d before upgrading to 5dmkII about a year ago, it was a big step up and worth every penny. If i thought I could get the the same kind of step up with the mkIII I would save my pennies and get it, I'm just not sure the price is justified . but i really want it anyway.

Ive owned the 5D and currently the 5DMII, for my use they are a good choice, but the software has some slight issues...red tinting could be an issue if true color is required in all works. So please research and apply to your needs. I don't hear issues of red tint with any Nikon products but price of lens etc...For the money the 5DMII is a real great camera and will do more than most at the price...Mind you this is my opinion only for what ever an opinion is worth.

I've been eyeing this camera from afar but I don't know anyone who owns one. Do any of you have any experience with this camera and what are your thoughts?
The 5D Mark III is out .. any thoughts about it versus the Mark II?

I originally had the 13x19 printer before the Pixma pro9000MII purchased new, but the motherboard quit and the model had been discontinued since my purchase. Canon replaced it with the Pixma Pro 9000 MkII and I feel the happier for the upgrade...Love that printer. Though Epsom is no dog and should be considered in high regard.
Kind regards L3

I agree this is the problem your dealing with not rust, but the suggestion I offered stands. L3

I would suggest soaking in Diesle fuel, and it could take a day or longer to fully penetrate all the rust compoinents. Karosine is another deep penetrating product for rust related issues. I had been an auto tech for 12 years and that is what I know works. Kind regards L3

I got some saltwater on my tripod head, and now the pin is stuck.
I tried submerging it into freshwater, but it's not helping.
The pin remains stuck. I'll try a few drops of oil when we get home (we are traveling), but as of right now there aren't any tools around I could use to fix the thing.
Any ideas?

I'm glad you liked the color, but for myself I actually don't, for they are too intense. These images are only to illustrate what may be hidden in a scene of night shooting...it really is not what is expected on averge, for the lens I used was too fast (f/1.4) so most of the shots were taken at ISO 50, f/16, and 1/5 second was as slow a setting I could collect or it was too light. I will take my macro lens out later (f/2.8) to see if I can get better effects. I don't have a zoom lens which would tend to work better since they are often slower lens. L3

There is a good chance they were PP and don't let it psyc you out...if it makes you feel your camera is not doing the job, go to a camera store and ask to take in store photos to compare your quality to the 5DII, and yes some difference will exist, but remember your camera don't cost $2k for a body, or there abouts. :-) L3

Welcome to day 30. Today I thought I'd try something different.... Frame within a Frame .... I've always loved shooting through trees .. never knew why .. as it turns out it's an actual part of composition.
Here are a few examples of a frame within a frame to get us started.
I look forward to seeing what y'all come up with :)

I'm glad you enjoyed the shots and hope you will give it a try when your a passenger with a camera...some shots will really surprise you and really be an eye opener...I lost some like that when I was in an earlier photo class now I'm starting a new collection. I showed these to prevent a new shooter from throwing away images in the belief they are junk...some are hidden and very small as shown on the shell logo. L3

I have friends who ask about night shooting and have not had luck or perhaps thought they didn't have luck...I collected a couple of images that at a glance anyone would say no good nothing there...but I have enlarged some areas an tried a little touch up to see if it can have appeal...the first two images are as shot no alteration and last two show what is found. What do you think of night shooting hand held at 60 mph. You never know what you'll get some are just designs and others are both designs and matched words
Hope you like them and have fun taking your shots. L3

These days it's impossible to take a photo image that someone else has not taken from that same spot, angle and even the lighting...who knows how close you copy his works and may not even know you did a duplication of style or such. Atleast that is my excuse, and hello photogrl :-) L3

IN that case I was correct in my interpretation, and the hopes that law never becomes part of our system for it stops many commercial applications that in fact use techniques originated by someone else. L3

Namwife I would like to add a comment on lens I suggest for your consideration...a manual camera shoot using manual lens like Ziess for example...they have a manual focus lens and to many that is a loss, for you don't have af appliction. But a manual use of the lens set for Hyperfocal range (selection of f/stop on infinity and read the range between that f/stop locaion you will have everything in focus (provided you don't shake the camera). This feature is not found on many auto lens or zooms, but are found on manual lens. These lens are exceptional with Portraiture work, but at a price. It is only something for you to add in knowledge and not something intended for a conflict. L3
