Do you think that this crop is better ?

I like the first shot more than this one as its easier to focus on the iguana. May be down to personal preference though.

Freelander · Postby **Freelander** » May 12th, 2008, 4:59 pm

wtf...this is $20 to 25US on amazon...could have shipped it in for much less...and radioshack to boot

raptor doesn't sell compact flash? i see he has good prices on sd cards and mini sd's.

I prefer the first version, dragist, as you see the blur to the left of the leaf and makes the iguana pop more. If you want to crop in, leave some of the bokeh. Just realised you can tell it's a six bladed aperture from watching the blurred "circles" of light in the background, that look more hexagonal. I think i reading too many lens reviews

was reading this comparison of the Canon 50mm f/1.8 to the f/1.4 today,
that's why i noticed the blurred light shape

Check the first section of "Out of focus highlights"

Great Shot!

I prefer this one. Composition looks more balanced.

I think the leaf and the lizard were competing for attention in the first one.

Al, I'd take a telephoto, a wide aperture (fast) lens, lens hoods, Polarisers, a Canon 580EX II Flash, STO-FEN bounce diffuser (or a grocery bag & rubber band), spare batteries, and a monopod. Possibly a tripod too....Oh and starting the day @ 5am? I'd go with about 6-10 Gigs of memory. Shoot RAW!

UV haze filter, not polariser if he decides to try a few shots with the XSI kit lens, as the lens rotates, but polariser for the others would be good. If you're only renting one lens, try to get a 70-200L f/4 and that should be fine with the kit lens. If you want wider, 24-70L or a 10-22 for even wider.

i wouldn't have gone to an expensive place like that

I hope it was a fast write speed at least like this
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-ULTRA-Com ... B0001CNMFM
40D is a great camera though. A bit too heavy for my hand though, as my fingers on the right hand only now feel better after using duane's own at the last drags about 3weeks ago

Hence I going with the XSI at about 60% of the weight and size.
I heard devi saying he doesn't like that lens though.

varung, David's Filmvue in POS 623-4346. You can ask for shelly. That's where i rented the 30D and 430EX for RT08. They also have 530EX flashes. I think it was about $120 a day for the flash.

flatline, its that CF card that you posted from amazon..But the price is alot cheaper at amazon..Will at least i know what to do next time, order it from amazon.

Left lane must turn left................
Hmmmmm, looks familiar........
What a coincidence... I pass one JUST like that every morning as I blaze up the left hand side and make that right turn to duck in between the cars slowly coming round to go to Price Plaza. Never knew what it said till now.
Good info.

BTW, anybody ever realise that there is no left or right lane there....... I mean no line in the road or anything.

Just joking bout the illegal driving though.
