<p>Thanks for all the help.<br>

<br />I have found another post that has come up with some test i need to do on my 1DX.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I do see the beam working . Does not make much difference.</p>

<p>Hi,<br /><br />I have been photographing many events and party's over the years. The problem I have is my auto focus finds it hard to pick up focus in dark rooms. I have up to date canon cameras and fast f2.8 canon lens. I don't have this problem when the room is in daylight or lighting is good. I use flash for 85% of my working with indoors photography.<br /><br />When I am working with a video person his lights help out with the focusing . I was wondering if any one uses a LED light attached to a bracket with your flash .<br /><br />Any help would be great. <br /><br />thanks,<br /><br />Marc<br /><br /></p>

<p>Thank you . I will look them up. </p>

<p>Hi Fellow photographers,<br>

I am looking for a new software to make slideshow . I used IDVD on my old computer.<br>

This was not included on my new Imac.<br>

I am thinking of a high res slideshow with some nice effects , also able to add music .<br>

<br />Must be mac compatible .</p>

<p>Many thanks,</p>

<p>Hi,<br /><br />I have never been happy with my Mark 3 for sport. I do top end soccer in the uk and europe . I use my 2n's which I find better for me then the mark 3. The great thing about the Mark 4 is that strait out of the box with only a few corrections I was getting better quality pictures from my old cameras . Not only in floodlight conditions but in normal light. It read the image with a sharper edge on all my lens from 400 mm f2.8 to 16 mm 2.8 . Each sport is very different and football(soccer) has many different angles and option within the game. We do not live in the film world for sports any more , so looking back is not an option. It is very true being confident in your gear and also keeping up with your fellow photographers in a pro market . Missing a picture is not a option if you want to get top quality work. <br /><br />Love to see some of your work Scott. Also your custom function for your focus on the Mark 3.<br /><br />thanks,<br /><br />marc</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

If you have the money :-) Mark 4 and a 400mm f2.8 is the sports photographer kit .</p>

<p>Just wanted you to have a look at the new camera from Canon. I think it works 60% better then the Mark III .</p>

<p>Hope you enjoy,</p>

<p>Hi All,<br>

I can't give you any other information until monday.I bought my camera about a year ago and it has not worked well . I have a mark IIn and that work 30 to 40% better then the mark III.<br>

I have been told by the engineer at canon that this software has been working well . I hope this is a report from photographers and not marketing from canon.</p>

<p>I will keep you informed on what they did.</p>

<p>Marc</p>

<p>Hi all,<br>

I have been told by canon that I can bring my Mark 3 in for a new software, which will help with the auto focus .Has any one had this software put in . This is not a Firmware ver 1.2.3 update.</p>

<p>thanks,<br>

<p>Hi,<br /> <br /> I have been shooting as a pro since 1986, so maybe not too old. What I was applying was when I started in photography it was mostly in slide and B/W . I have a client that likes this effect. It does not rock my boat.<br /> <br /> When I started I worked with a old pro called Mac .This scottish picture editor would give you a roll of black and white film for each job.This was bulked loaded so you did not know if you had 36 frame or 30 . If he used to look through your image more then one time you where in trouble. Happy days:-)<br /> <br /> Thanks for all your help . I still don't get it, so maybe a online video show may help me .<br /> <br /> <br /></p>

<p>Thanks Ian<br>

What would you recommend preconfigured photoshop actions.</p>

<p>Hi All,<br>

I can't see to make this work.I open the image went to Layer to Duplicate Layer , then Image and selected Grayscale- Flatten OK to make it B/W. I then clicked on Eraser With a white line going across my picture and I can't select Feather when I go in Select. I enclose a picture i want to work on .<br>

Sorry for my photoshop skills.</p>

<div></div>

<p>I would like to know how you do this effect. I use Photoshop CS on a Mac . I need a very simple step by step instructions.<br>

Thanks,<br>

<p>Hi,<br>

Canon told me to get my lens calibrated to my mark 3. I have found that the Mark 3 focusing is very poor and I use my mark 2n with my 400mm for most of my sports work .I would try to use a prime lens like the 135mm f2 and see if your result are better. All the above information is correct.</p>

 

canon 135mm f2

A bit bigger<div></div>

Hi Greg,

 

Nice pics for a first time. when I can use flash I do . I would put your camera to 400 or 800 ASA and set it to manual at 250th if you can on 5.6 or F8 . It is important to have a good depth of field and a high flash shutter speed which will synch with your camera . Mine is 250th but you can get away with 125th of a second. The most important part of a good sports pictures is timing and that comes with practice. Good luck , boxing is a great sport to get amazing images.<div></div>
