Photography Thread

[capoeiraesp]

Guys! We're gonna have to find somewhere else to share our

stuff.SevenString.org - Announcements in Forum : Art, Media & Photography

" 1) Non-gear related threads will be moved and contained to the Off-Topic section. Sections that will be removed are: Politics, Movies, Computers, Health, Photography and Sports."

Are you kidding me? So all non-guitar subforums are being consolidated to off-topic.

So I'm guessing this thread is going to be moved to off-topic without a sticky, where it's gonna get buried with all the random stuff posted. There goes easy access to threads like the Raw Challenge, too.

I'm not crazy about this. I don't like the change in general, especially with the requirements for posters in the Classifieds, but generating traffic seems to be what it's about these days. Thoughts on moving to another forum? I think I still have the info for that one I made a while back.

Yeah, Alex is successfully killing what made this forum great.

I'd be down to join another forum for us to share our photography. What's another forum to keep me occupied during the day???

Post in here to get his attention.

Just as I buy my camera and start getting back into photography this happens!

Holy ...., man. This is awful news to wake up to.

And what's with the censoring?

 

[flint757]

Censoring has been in place for a long time now. Has something to do with ad agreements.

I have been on the Bluray forum since 2008... there is a small but interesting Photography Thread, and other A/V and gaming related topics

I made a really ghetto free forum a while back, so there's that if we get desperate.

Nice. Let me know what you think, if it'll work, and what to change. If anyone's comfortable with programming or web design or what have you, let me know so I can make you a mod or admin.

Fvcked around w/ the on-camera MX function at the greenhouse today. I'm a fan.
Also, There's a 5DmkIII sale on ebay for $1,999. I have very little self-control with these matters...

I'll have to try post some things first to see how it goes. Maybe subforums for things like Portraiture, Macro, Automotive, etc - these would be handy should traffic increase.

Those look great, and not like your typical double exposures.

What do you like about the 5D? Honestly, if I had a choice between the two, I think I'd rather the 6D. The overall AF and tough body of the 5 would be awesome, but the 6's centre focus point is better and it has better IQ.

Thanks for the feedback, man. Even though there are three of us so far, I'm probably gonna start posting some stuff in some of the subs, just to have a conversation piece for any new users that might join. I'll probably make a few subs and see how those work. Or keep one sub but have some stickied threads?

I'm considering posting the link over at Metal Guitarist, too. Literally like 90% of the posts in the thread there are mine, but there are a few guys who post once in a while.

Purely for AF. My 6D has been driving me insane with the hunting. With my 7D, I always liked using all AF points but even in good light, sometimes it's just not possible to use my 6D that way as it freaks out and can't decide what to do, sometimes just giving up and focusing on nothing at all - even with a stationary subject in studio-quality light. It's quick enough on single point AF, but I'm not always in a situation in which selecting my AF point is convenient or even possible, given timing.

Good point. I pretty much always use single point, so I didn't even think of that.

On vacation right now and I'm at 500 shots taken. In 2 days.



Both of these are from the 70mm wide open.
