Despite chilling temperatures, it was crowded on the lake today.

The competition was fierce. It seemed like every time I spotted a
good fish, someone else got there first.

You shoulda seen the feathers fly when this guy ran outta line.

Such a lovely day deserves at least one 3-shot 180-degree pano.

BTW, ****wit, if you want to start slamming me again don't be
surprised when complaints are lodged with your ISP and your employer.
In fact, I would even consider legal action against you and we both
know I'd win.

It's a damn shame that no matter what topic of photography is posted,
N.S. has to ruin it for everybody. I've KF him.........he's not worth
it. I only see his garbage when someone replies.

I've got a properly calibrated monitor and I don't see them being dark
at all. Exposure is spot on. This one is outstanding:

Dolt! In John's context, it makes 0 diff how many NGs are in the Headers.
Drunken sod.

So ...... National Geographic stuff, you think?

I agree about Noons. One thing I've learned here is that no matter
what you try to do good, someone is waiting to crap all over it. And
it's usually Noons.
He and the other Aussie inbred must lead miserable lives.
Sad.

"So ...... National Geographic stuff, you think?"

Of course, but then you don't need me to keep telling you that.

Not much controversy. It's great if you can focus properly.
However, it's almost impossible to focus on anything moving.

It's also a bear to edit, especially on an older computer.

The autofocus works fine with stills. The problem is that the
viewfinder blanks out in video mode (when the mirror is up) so you
have to use the LCD to compose and focus. Don't get me wrong, it's a
fine LCD but there is just no way to do critical focusing by looking
at a 3" screen.
For stills you can use the LCD in Live Mode and zoom in up to 10x so
critical focusing is a breeze. But for video the zoom feature doesn't
work so all you can see is the full image across that beautiful 3"
screen.

Pros with unlimited budgets, like Vincent Laforet, use external HD
screens to do their focusing and special rigs like those from Redrock
Micro to hold the camera and focus smoothly.

The whole buzz about the Fab 5D2's video mode is that it works great
in low light and it allows you to use all your lenses so you can use,
say a f/1.2L lens for very shallow DOF which looks strikingly better
than a consumer camcorder with it's large DOF. The problem is that in
order to get a shallow DOF in broad daylight you'll need some ND
filters on the lens. And good luck with the focusing. By the time
you spring for the external HD monitor and the Redrock Micro rig for
smooth holding and focusing, you could've bought a dedicated HD
camcorder and an adapter for the EF lenses. But then you still
wouldn't get the Fab 5D2's outstanding low-light performance. Life is
full of tradeoffs.
