<p>Photo from Medical Mission Trip in Ethiopia</p><div></div>

<p>Hello,<br>

I am heading to Ethiopia in a few days to take photos of a Medical Mission trip and was wondering about getting release forms of the patients being treated at the clinic. Say I want to use the images beyond my website (perhaps in a magazine article), what is law in this matter? Does HIPPA apply here?<br>

Thanks,<br />Lester</p>

<p>Does anybody think this is a serious threat to the current DSLRs? It shoots high quality stills and video in RAW format.<br>

Check out this video and tell me what you think:<br>

<p>I've had the same problem, it only shows up near the end of a long shooting day - like shooting marathon runners. A friend of mine suggested I turn the camera off and remove the lens. This has always worked for me.</p>

<p>Been reading about on-site printing and am wondering if that is the best way to make money these days. Can on-line ordering/printing make money? If I was to set up an on-line system (where people view images/order on the web), what would be the best way to make it worth my time? I'm familiar with on-site printing, but it sounds like it can be a gamble. Any thoughts would be welcome.<br>

Thanks,<br>

<p>I've had images I shot with my D700 appear on billboards. Here is one sample.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello,<br />I'm using a D700 and a AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 ED VR I for night time sports and sometimes when I press the shutter the camera doesn't fire, like it can't focus fast enough. <br />I've tried Dynamic AF Area of 9, 21, and 51. Changed the Focus Tracking with Lock-on from short to long. My AF-C is set to Focus Only, and the Built in AF-Assist illuminator it OFF.<br>

Can someone recommend which settings I should use? Thanks.</p>

<p>I just got a Westcott light boom and was disappointed to discover that it won't fit on my regular light stands.<br />So I'm trying to find a Westcott 10' light stand. Is there a different light stand that will work or am I forced to buy the hard-to-find Westcott 10' light stand. And I don't want to buy a c-stand, they are just too heavy for my needs.</p>

 

<p>I'm waiting for a 35mm f/1.4 AF-S lens for my D700. If the MF version wasn't so expensive I'd probably buy it instead.</p>

<p>1st choice, my iPhone 4<br />2nd choice, my Lumix LX5</p>

<p>Never saw the reasoning behind DNG. My co-worker swears by it. For me it's an extra and un-needed step.</p>

<p>A little OT but there's a joke that goes, "what's the difference between a large pizza and a commercial photographer?"<br>

A large pizza can feed a family of 4.</p>

<p>><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4420899">Anish Mankuthel</a> really nice photo of Salzburg. I've been there once and your photo brings back fond memories.<br>

My photo submission is of Oscar DeLaRosa of LaMafia at their 30th anniversary concert held in San Antonio.</p><div></div>

<p> As usual, the Nikon version is much more expensive.<br />Maybe it's finally time to switch from Nikon to Canon.</p>

<p>Home bag: d700, Nikon 35mm f2.0, Sigma 50mm f1.4, Nikon 17-35mm f2.8, Nikon 24-70mm f2.8, SB-800 Flash, 2x ND filter, bunch of CF cards, batteries.<br>

Work bag: d300s, Nikon 35mm f1.5, Nikon 50mm f1.8, Nikon 85mm f1.4, Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 zoom, SB-900 Flash, extra CF card, batteries.</p>

<p>I've suffered through NAS (Nikon Acquisition Syndrome), so my set is finally complete. The downside is that the next lens is gonna really set me back, either a 200mm f2.0, a 300mm f2.8, or something bigger.</p>

<p>I crank my D700 up to ISO 6400 and drag the shutter. I use a Sto-Fen Omni Bounce on the flash.</p><div></div>

<p>If you are shooting a subject that doesn't move, then go to Live View to focus. To further check focus, press the '+' button on the back of the camera to zoom into the image. Adjust focus and press the shutter when you're ready to make an exposure. It's that easy.</p>

<p>While the lcd on the back of my D700 is great for viewing images, sometimes it's too small when I need to show other people the images while working on location. I know that I can attach the camera to a tv, but that's too big to drag around. Is there something smaller but not too expensive, like 6x8 inches? I want to know specific models, user experience greatly appreciated.</p>
