I like it - you got most of him in focus which is good. Pitty he is not facing you, these type of shots are best when you have the eyes imo...]]> Fri, 24 May 2013 15:01:19 +0000 http://www.photography-tips-forum.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4734&PID=20742#20742 http://www.photography-tips-forum.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4734&PID=20741#20741 Author: Hc11

Use the Rebel XT to teach photography to someone close to you.
A family member, a close relative, a friend, ect....

Subject: Tripod for Backpacking
Posted: 24 May 2013 at 6:15am

I am going to get the following tripod for backpacking.
Promaster XC522 Professional Tripod
I am not sure who makes these tripods for Promaster, but this looks like it will be pretty nice on the trail, light weight, folds small, low minimum working height.
I received a gift certificate to a local camera store which sells these.
I will be using my Canon Rebel T2i with the Sigma 18 - 250 mm macro lens.

Camera weight with battery = 530 g (1.17 lb)
Lens weight = 470 g (16.6 oz)
Total weight - camera, battery and lens = 1000g (2.2 lb)


Here are the specs:
+ 5 section; 22mm leg diameter
+ Maximum working height: 49'' / 124cm (without head)
+ Minimum working height: 6 3/8'' / 16cm
+ Folded height: 11 7/8'' / 30cm
+ Maximum load: 11 lb / 5kg
+ Tripod weight: 1 lb 14 oz / .85kg

Review = Promaster xc522 review

As it looks like I'm going to spend my last days in this shxt hole, I guess I should find something worth taking a picture of. There is one funny thing about this place. This shxt hole is the most lite up shxt hole on earth. They never turn off the lights. Even at 12 midnight or even later, this shxt hole is all lit up. Every light is on. Every store has every light on. The bill boards for each store are all on. No one is saving any electric power for anyone. The department of electric or what ever it's called is lite up like Vegas or maybe Disney Land. So with all the lights on I should not need to use any flash. Just bump up my ISO to the max and adjust my camera a bit and the way I go.
This city is also funny for the type of crimes that go down. Almost no gang crime (everyone has a gun), No one bumps over a store (everyone has a gun). The only two crimes that happen are folks hitting each other aka boy friend/ husband hitting his girl friend/wife or the other way around. And the other is Meth dealers or user's.

Pictures from hell to follow.

Subject: Don't want to retire Rebel XT
Posted: 24 May 2013 at 4:02am

I really don't want to retire my old Rebel XT. But while down loading pictures from both my T4i and my XT, it really hit me. The pictures from the T4i were so bright and clear. Yes I know it has a far better sensor then the XT and is at lease 10 years newer. So is there anything I can do to the XT to improve it's performance? Or would it still be useful for when I do B&W work?

Thanks
