I own the 24-105 for about 6 months. I love the lens. It is almost always on my camera . A great walkaround lens.
I did have to send it to canon to be calibrated because it was producing many out of focus shots. I got the lens back from canon 1 wee…
I ended up with the canon 24-105 f4
at first I hated it. I wanted to return it. My 70-200 f4L is so tack sharp, i expected more from the 24-105
it took me a while to get used to it, and now I like it alot.
I appreciate your comments. You have reminded me that I need to take into account my shutter speed to have more control over the ambient light in the exposure. I didnt want to shoot slower than 1/50th sec to prevent camera shake.But I probably could…
this one was shot with a 50mm f1.4 iso 800 f4 1/50th sec canon 580ex in hotshoe in ttl mode
Although the first shot looks great as a portrait of the child, I wanted more of the environment lit up in the background so the viewer can tell it was at a…
in the past few weeks I have noticed that the longer I keep LR4 open , the slower it gets. So sometimes i close it and reopen it and it works slightly faster for a little while.
I also noticed when I edit photos from a canon t2i it runs faster, but…
I have been tweaking my settings and getting LR4 to run slightly faster, though still not as fast as LR3. But one problem I have yet to solve is when export fails and an error message says not enough memory.
I have written an email to adobe to ask …
I made some tweaks and I am starting to get the hang of LR4. I absolutely love the new tools in the local adjustment brush.
Now I came to another hurdle. During an export, LR4 froze and an error message said something like unable to complete export…
Thank you Mr. Trev.
I appreciate your response. I tried what you suggested. The slider response is slightly better when I imported in the highest quality etc and used 1 : 1 previews, but not fast enough to warrant the enormous amount of time it too…
thank you mr Stephen.
gels are very cheap. I am going to buy 1 and experiment with it, and set the white balance to tungsten.
if I don't like it I can remove the gel and set the camera to max sync speed, and then change the white balance to flash. …
I am a decent amateur photographer, but by no means am I professional yet. But thankfully I am able to recognize when I am overwhelmed and underequipped.
If I would have been paid to take these photos and did such a terrible job, I would return the…
here is the strangest part. The photographer has some very nice photos on his page that shows he can do great work

but in the photos of the US olympic team there is bad lighting, torn and creased …
I used a t2i for 2 years. I loved it.Its a great camera.
I recently bought a 5d mkii. I have no regrets. It took me a while to get used to using a full frame, as my lenses dont give the appearance of extra reach that they do on a crop censor.
I fe…
Mr Trev explained it pretty well.
I would just like to add that if you have a large enough memory card and your camera allows, you can shoot raw and jpeg simultaneously.
This way , you would be covered in all situations. You would have raw files t…
I have never registered anything with the copyright office before. I have come to a snag in the application process. I am not sure if I should fill out the form that my photos were published or unpublished.
As an amateur photographer and witness to…
I just finished making screengrabs. Now I am filling out the form to to send to the US copyright office.
I think lightroom has a feature that would allow me to embed a watermark with my name on it. I have never done this before but perhaps it is wo…
