With the stress of work and family, I found it very calming.
Yep, so flexible, and, like you, such a far cry from my original 35mm days with film in a Pentax camera!BrokenolMarine wrote:These days, the DSL has a huge advantage. You can shoot hundreds of pics, bracketing the image you want with multiple shots. For every image you shoot, and keep, you can delete ten, or twenty. You can crop and adjust as well. I love it.
I was talking to wedding photographer and he said that back in the film days he would have to somewhat limit the number of shots he took. With digital he said he would literally take 1000's of shots at a wedding.BrokenolMarine wrote:These days, the DSL has a huge advantage.

As a hacker, I never really learned much about the various settings on the cameras... I used auto as much as I could and shot above and below the recommended settings to get the various effects I was looking for. Way back when I had to pay for prints, I learned to look at negatives and decide which ones MIGHT turn out, and I printed a LOT of stuff on slide stock, then used the slides to pick out prints.dave77 wrote:I like my Canon 70D but you got a nice deal getting that D700. I had looked it up when ESquared first posted about it but didn't realize it had a full frame sensor. I have a nice Tamron lens but have never been really happy with some of results I get using it with my APS camera.
Tony Northrup mentioned in one of his videos that while they worked it was not uncommon for a really nice lens designed for a full frame to not be quite so good on a smaller sensor camera.
Also I had known that you have to multiply the lens length by 1.6 when using it on a APS camera but you also have to multiply the f-stop rating. So if you think your getting a f2.8 it's actually going to be more like a f4.5.
