Here's one taken a few minutes ago with the 20D
and the Super 70-200 f/2.8L + the Canon 1.4x TC.

I would like to show you my last update.
It's based on carnival photographs taken in Thiais,
near Paris, France.

What is required to get a blue sky when it is not great (excluding post
processing)?
Graduation filters make the sky more interesting, polarizer's make it more
interesting, but is there a filter which is designed just for making skies

This week I received my new Nikon F5 that I got from Cameta Auctions on
eBay.  Since the F6 came out, Cameta has been auctioning off a steady
stream of F5s.  They have a positive feedback rating of over 90000.  I
got my F5 for $935.  This is a brand new USA camera with a 3-year

I am trying to decide on the 50 f/1.4 or the 50 f/2.5 Macro.
Is this typical of the distortion of the 50 f/1.4?

From what I read on photozone.de the macro has no distortions or vignetting

Should I sell my FM2 and F90X now and go digital. Everwhere I read film as I
knew it is on the decline?

i have shots taken using my 550ex unit.  boy on fathers knee.  The caption
asks for feedback on whether the exposure is correct.  It looks a little
dark to me.  The next portrait is brighter maybe too bright.  Advice please
alan, anika etc..

Everyone loves showing off for the Canon 20D!

Firstly, I was really impressed with everyone's entries this time - does
that say something about breaking rules?  In that 'good' photos which have
fulfilled the photographic rules tend to be a bit boring?  It seems like
most of the typical rules have been broken - except for one ...

Well, I did say I hoped this mandate would provoke some discussion, so I
guess I'd better get to work and do a critique to get the ball rolling...
As usual, comments are from a very personal perspective.  Overall, I like
the group of work I'm looking at.

I just acquired a couple of Spotmatic Fs to use with my M42 lens
collection. Both cameras have new Zinc-air batteries. Both cameras give
meter readings opposite of what I believe they should be. I'm using the
Super-Takumar lenses for now (they do not have full aperture capabilty).

I own a Canon Rebel body which I have used for a long while. Recently,
it has started 'shooting blanks.' I tried several different films. But
when they are developed they are just blank. To see if there's something
with the shutter, I tried clicking the camera several times ...

As part of my Nikon set, I have N90 and N75 bodies and I really don't like
the N75 so I'm looking to replace it with another N90.  Several reputable
dealers have used N90-type bodies for sale and the difference in price
between an N90 and an N90s is roughly $75-100 for the same ...

Can anyone recommend a shop for routine service (CLA, light seals, & mirror
box pads) for older manual focus Nikon (FE2,FA) bodies?  I'm not necessarily
looking for bargain-basement prices, but rather someplace that knows their
Nikons, with a reputation for top-quality work.

Just when you thought you've seen your last D60 pic,
along comes the Totally Digital D60 to prove you wrong.
Here, the Totally Digital D60 gets small.
Real small !!!
