It seems the ol' girl was angry at everyone. Her vengeance towards me was devastating. She totally wiped my home on the waterfront off the face of the earth. Still numb in NORTH CAROLINA... :(

Please focus, especially on the Land of Israel, at this time.

NT73... I am not big on the flash either, however I am about to take a lighting class so I am setting myself up with a Manfrotto stand and umbrella. That's where the flash issues come in. Like you I ...

NT73 no apology necessary, I really appreciate the response AND the humor. Thought for a bit there I was being ostracized after having no response from a few previous posts. Thanks shuttertalk will...

Thanks NT73. It's a Canon 580 EX II same as the title and the camera is a Canon 7D. Thanks also Zig. After finding the manual, I think I have figured that one out. Apparently a custom function had b...

The LCD panel on my flash ONLY displays E in the top left hand corner. I can't seem to get it to display ETTL, is there something I am not doing properly?

Never mind guys. Looks like eBay has a slew of 'em if I'm willing to dig deep deeeep deeeeeeep in my pockets.:(

Now that I want them I can't find them. What is going on? I was hoping to obtain the foundation kit with a 77mm wide angle adaptor ring. Then follow up with a 4x4 polarizing filter and a variety of...

300mm Cherry Pie 2 scoops of patience 4 quarts of fresh shuttertalk advice 1 tablespoon of knowledge 1 truckload of trial and error Stir and blend. Enjoy! :)

Simply and sincerely, everyone should be keeping your eyes and ears on the nation of Israel. God keeps time by the nation of Israel and the way things are looking redemption draweth nigh!:) TOMORROW'...

Glad to report that the 300 and me have found common ground. I am at peace with its performance! And yes, its performance is fantastic. Thanks for all the concern and assistance.:)

Matthew, Thank you for responding and yes, it is intermittent. Bought it brand new from KEH in Georgia, USA. Warranty is solid for one year. KEH sells a host of used products as do all dealers, but...

Too many exclamation points? I'll still need that shot of Zig, so don't throw in the towel just yet!!!!! Ooooo sorry, did it again with the points.

Zig, I despise continuous focus! That mode never gives you the go ahead that I appreciate so much in the focusing stage. Everything I read about the lens led me to purchase it as well, therefore I in...

Thanks Don. I'm enjoying your work as well. I love that painted, drawn, colored pencil, poster edged, etc, etc look. I used to visit Long Island quite a bit as a child. Had an uncle in Levittown. Love...

I had the chance this weekend to put the 300mm to test. Got some pretty good shots of various subjects, mainly shore birds and a few of my feathered friends at the feeder. Took another shot of a wind...

Indeed, sociological imagination, or the intersection between history and biography, cloak each one of us in mind, body and spirit. Values are absorbed per our presence unless there is divine interv...

Thanks NT73. It was fun making that time lapse. Nothing special about it except that the Pamlico River was fairly rough that day and an hour later over a dozen tornadoes came ripping through the count...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1VGrb6IGDs The above address will take you to a time lapse I put together a few weeks back. It's actually more of a statement about where taxes are going in the Uni...

I was in CS5 class last night when a fellow classmate mentioned he ran across a website or blog stating how the newer cameras (Canon 7D) and the older prime lenses (the Canon 300mm F4L) are having t...
