Hi,

Could someone let me know if the Velvia 100-F and the Velvia 50 are

the same good quality film?

Thanks!!!

Liz

Thanks to all for the useful information, the websites that I will visit to see what I can learn, and for your suggestions, I will try them all :)

 

Thanks again!!!

I have been reading on previous posts about this subject, but still

have not understood it very well.

 

My images look very pixeled (with many artifacts) after sharpening

and changing brightness and cropping. I am using Large and fine

format. I've heard that RAW images would not have this problem.

However, what I don't understand is, if you still have to convert the

files, or extract the JPG file out of it, then you will get the same

artifacts. Then, what would be the benefict out of shoting in Raw?

Thanks for your answers!

Thank you so much to all for your help, I am going to read the tutorial :) and will come back if I have more questions

 

Thanks!!!

Thanks DN for your advice. It is very helpful for me. I will consider the 3021 (3221)Bogen.

 

Is it good to get the Arca Swiss B1 for this tripod? wherecan I buy it? BH doesn't seem to have it :)

 

Thanks again!

I am 5'7 tall, the nature photography I will get the tripod for is an Alaska trip I am planning, hope the information is enough now. There is not tripod rentals where I live. Thanks !

Hi,

I need to get a tripod /tripod head and would appreciate your advice.

My cameras are EOS 3 and EOS 10D

The heaviest lens I own is a 400mm f/5.6 and the purpose is Nature

Photography.

I've heard Gitzo is more expensive, so I would go with a Bogen.

What head is a good one? Do I need some other accesories with the

tripod?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Thank you so very much to all of you for the helpful advise. It is interesting to hear that in Canon cameras, the speed of the card doesn't make much difference. Maybe Canon will improve this feature for future models. Good to know I can get the cheapest one without affecting the performance of the camera in a significant way. :)

Thnaks again!!

Hi,

I have always used San Disk flash cards for my 10D.

I was looking for a 512 MB Lexar at BH and found there are lots of

kinds. They have 40x, 10x, XD, SD, 16X etc... Which one I should buy?

I need it to make nature photography. I would appreciate some advice

and please let me know what is best:) Thanks for your help!!!!

thanks to all for the answers !

Will try the techniques you all are suggesting and see what better works for me :) .

Thank you all for your helpful advice. I will do some further search to learn more about this subject . Thanks again!

If I use a 17-40 mm lens, should I set the focusing point on infinite and use a wide aperture?

or just a wide angle lens won't work for this shot?

Hi, I would like to know a tip for when shooting landscapes and want

to have the flowers closer to the camera in focus as well as the

faraway mountains. Thanks for your help! The attached photo is an

example of what I would like to get.

Tom, I live in Colombia. I don't want to be negative, but Take a gun with you! :)

Bob, could you tell us what the magazine says about him? Unfortunately, I can not get Vanity Fair here. Thanks!!!

Thank you all for your helpful advice and suggestions. Thank you Raymond for the lovely photo :)

Do you think I will be able to see sea otters in Homer? I would love to see them!!

Hi,

I am planning a trip to Hallo Bay, Alaska in September. I have a

couple of questions. The first one is in regards to the film.

I am concern about carrying the film ( negative and slide film)all

the way from Colombia ,South America, and going through x-rays more

than 5 times in the airports, before arriving.

I will arrive to Homer and will stay there for a few hours before

taking the transportation to Hallo Bay. Do you know if there is any

specialized store in Homer where I can get the Velvia , Provia, Reala

films? Also, in my way back , can I find a good process lab there

where I can develop my films?

My second question, is if you have any suggestion on the place I

should stay after Hallo Bay. I have a couple days ,would just want to

make nature photography and don't know if Homer is the best place to

stay for these one or two extra days. Would you recomend going

somewhere else? Or just staying in Homer?

Thanks for your help!!!

Thank you all for tour greatfuly helpful advice. Louie, I checked your Katmai trip report and there is a lot of valuable information there. Thank you for your help. I am worried about the bad weather by that time of the year.

Sorry. Print film.

Thank you for your helpful answers. I am using film. Do you recommend to use Kodak? Fuji?

Hi,

I would appreciate your advice on which film should I take to

photograph the bears in Katmai in mid- september.

Also, do you think I will be ok with a 300mm 4L + 1.4 extender?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you so very much again to all of you who have given me your advice!!! It has been really helpful. I will make some tests to find out what is best. I am photographing wild nature, so I can't use a flash. Thanks again!

Thank you to all for your helpful advise.

So, underexposing wouldn't help?

 

Thanks again!!!
