I don’t have TF yet, I tried to do it but I’m having problems with paypal.

Nobody seems to have an exact answer, some claim it is a general error message when the camera crashes, but most of the reports have been related to third party lenses, or with dirty lens contacts. I had that error a couple of times with a Canon 24-70mm lens; I…Read more

Besides, you’re going to want to be able to clean the sensor at your convenience and not wait for a shop. Dust particles get on the sensor at the most annoying times and you’re not going to want to wait for service. Instead do it yourself.

I should have paid more attention to the numbers when I first saw it go green. It’s just hard to imagine that a good photograph would only garner 4 to 5 votes in the five hours between the contest opening and green light.

Tri-X can be pushed a single stop without changing development times or at the most boosting times by 15%. I’ve done this with Microdol-X and Xtol, both work well but have different characteristics. The Microdol-X developed negatives had the finest…Read more

Really foolproof, and they are adjustable to take 120, 127 and 135 film.

Besides asking permission kind of ruins the whole point of candid street photography.

I would however avoid photographing children, it’s just not worth the possible run-ins with angry parents.

But in general, behave professionally. Don’t try…Read more

If you can, do some meter tests before the show actually starts. Once you have some numbers in head (for example, lead singer at front requires f/1.4 at 1/200th or whatever), you’ll have less thinking to do during the actual show and you can concentrate…Read more

My 30D has it. You focus lock on point 1, then on point 2, and then on your final framing choice. The camera computes the appropriate aperture so that both point 1 and 2 are in focus, given your final composition choice.

Depth of field is a function of two…Read more

I’m in Victoria BC, can I sneak into the order somewhere before it goes to Australia, or I can just wait for it on the return trip? Who would want it after me? Or after Australia?

There really is no substitute for practice. Experiment with aperture settings and focus point, learn how changes effect the photograph. Learn how to use fill flash. Learn to use the Zone System. Learn about hyperfocal distance.

I think the biggest first hurdle is to really get a handle on the…Read more
