When are you going to take a bouldering pic with that BITCHIN rig?

Use a different skin.

to quote myself: "since i'll never have time to get out climbing, these are the best i can do for now."

hopefully soon!

Actually no. Take some climbing pics.

WTF would Canon not use a full frame sensor for this? Is there some benefit I'm unaware of in keeping with a 1.3x crop? Oh well...do want, regardless. Maybe this should be in the toys for rich people thread.

Edit: Apparently, I got my naming conventions mixed up. The 1D series has been cropped, while the 1DS has been full frame. Fancypants.

I'd still take a 5d Mk II and some new glass.

Photog people: does anyone really ever use 45 autofocus points?

[pmahnn]

Yea ... I'd take an upgrade from my XTI right now. But it's not necessary...still can take decent photos, sensor works, shutter works, etc.

the d700 and d3 have 51 points. and i do believe they all get used...

[Lox]

Gay orgy of autofocus points.

just upgraded to 500 gig 7200 rpm internal drive to accommodate all the pix. heh.

People used to have a shoe box full of photos. Now they have a hard drive as big as a shoe box full of photos. Technology!

1D feature:

'WFT Server mode allows for remote viewing of the camera's Live View feed, adjusting of shutter speed, aperture, ISO and various other camera settings, as well as firing the shutter, all from the web browser of a linked computer, iPhone or other smartphone.'

So rad.

only diff: shoe box-sized hard drive contains maybe 1,000x (more?) as many photos as actual, physical shoe box.

Is there a way to make a d40 consistently meter to the darker portion of a subject without washing out the light part? Trying to get good exposures from tops of forested mountains looking out into desert is not going so well. Consistently get poorly defined foregrounds or washed out backgrounds. Using a 4x neutral density filter and metering a dark area before framing helped some, but I'm guessing it can be done better.

[STFU]

uhh, tryin metering on the lighter part of the shot so it won't oversexpose.

[slim]

Not so much.

The contrast latitude of a digital sensor is far less than that of film, so achieving what you want is very difficult.

I want to say digital is like a 3 stop range whereas film is more like 6. But a real photog can chime in here.

[merock]

modern digital camera technology can make anyone a "photographer".

just look at Merrick Ales.

hasn't helped you, or criz.
