Good discussion... Does anyone know what kind of stipulations are being written into this bill that may give Boeing $60 Billion in tax payer money? I know Trump wants to prevent stock buybacks which is great but I am more concerned about American employees. Any possibility they are requiring that fo...

Jump to postFirst off, thank you to all that replied to that thread a few weeks ago. I would have replied there but it seems to be locked? I did manage to pick up a new 100-400L from B&H and that order was fulfilled just as promised including shipping. After the lens arrived, I ran it through a few tests an...
Jump to postAgain, I would like to point out that we as photographers are not giving our images to a.net. They are hosting the image online and at any time we can have them all removed. The exposure that a.net is able to provide is worth the trade-off to me. Without a.net I would not get anywhere close to the a...
Jump to postWell, I was interested in working with this guy and told him I may volunteer to be a part of his free app but if he wanted to charge people and make money off of my photos then I would also prefer some sort of compensation.

Jump to postHi all, I received an email recently to participate in an Android App by giving permission for my photos to be used at no charge.

Jump to postI already have the 10-22 and the 18-200 which I have found is quite good compared to the reviews I have read about it. I think between those two and the 100-400 I will be totally covered.
Jump to postThank you all for the helpful replies... I just took the plunge and made the order with B&H as I have read so many positive things about them in my research of this lens. They also had it available and a great price at $1439. I will now be selling my 75-300IS as I doubt I will use it much anymor...
Jump to postThanks for all the comments so far... I have been doing more reading on the web and am coming to the conclusion that when people say that got a bad copy, I think the problem is that their copy isn't calibrated properly and after it is sent to Canon for proper calibration to line everything up intern...
Jump to postI think I will give it a shot and order through Amazon or B&H. I won't be ordering two, that was just some thinking out loud. From what I can tell the easiest tests seem to be shooting some dollar bills at different focal lengths and seeing how the results are. As long as they are sharp evenly a...
Jump to postYeah, it has been a while since I purchased a lens but I dont remember any seals that I had to break to get into it. I guess that is just the way they do it. Am thinking about ordering two at the same time and just keeping the better one. I think reading all the posts about bad copies has me a bit f...
Jump to postHi Karl, thanks for the info... Agree with how people test them, winter versus summer. This is def not a beginner lens and I think I am fully past that stage 10 years into the game with over 1000 uploads on the site here. I am thinking about purchasing through B&H here in the states. I see they ...

Jump to postThanks for the input. When you guys say "high/veryhigh settings" does that mean that it is just the scenery that is really detailed?

Jump to postYeah, I'm not really worried about protection here... I have been using my gear a long time and never had a problem that a good cleaning wouldn't take care of.

I know they are at 12 planes right now but I have heard it may go up to 50 planes total? Anyone heard this?
So if people are willing to take jobs flying for these low salaries in hopes of getting some A320 time and then moving on, where are they moving on to? Some may say to major airlines like United, American and Delta but they won't be offering reasonable salaries either if they are competing against s...

Jump to postMaybe if Key Lime Air paid their pilots a good wage instead of taking any bum off the street that can't get a job anywhere else and decides to buy his job, then Key Lime wouldn't have problems like this.

Jump to postOk so after re-reading the other thread I am a bit confused now. Apparently there has not been a "rule change" but now these photos that do not show an airplane, only light streaks, are now a no-go? Do I just need to get closer and have more streaks filling the frame or something? I am a bit upset b...
Jump to postI like it, it looks fine to me. That is a difficult shot to get to as I think I know where you were taking it from.
The only thing I would change is the centering. It seems a bit too high in the frame.

Jump to postWhat kind of lens are you using Eric?
I am thinking the trailing edge is slightly soft but it looks as though you will get jaggies if you try to sharpen anymore. Were you using AWB on that 747 shot?

Jump to postSo where is the ranking of photographers so we know who is rated where thus telling us who is over/underrated?
Are we talking about photos that look good but don't get a huge amount of hits?
Was just looking for something that works and was hopefully cheap too. According to the site I orderd from, it is the Canon one. I really don't see myself using it that often. Usually the 10 sec delay works fine but for taking photos at night of airplanes it is nice to have a little more control tha...
Jump to postI ordered the Canon one off of Amazon last night for $16 plus $7 for shipping.
Hopefully they don't screw me and send me a knock off version or some other junk.
Anyone know what the best options are for a cable release for a 300D? Looking to do some night photography and guessing on when to hit the shutter and for how long isn't very easy. I have heard people are using hands free cell phone ear pieces but am yet to find one of those that work. Any ideas?
