    <p>Got a D7000 recently, and it's great. took it to to Philly with me to see the band Young Widows. Man, it was pitch black in there, but I got some shots I liked anyway. Here's one of them:</p>

    <p>Got a 10.5mm Fisheye for Christmas. I got to try it out in Santiago, Chile. I LOVE this thing. This is a winery about an hour outside of Santiago. It's won a bunch of architectural awards.<br>

    <p>Went for a walk in Downtown Austin, when the stairs on the side of the Convention Center caught my eye. Shot through a grate to get at the stairs behind. Love my 70-300mm VR. It's a surprisingly sharp lens - even when focused manually.</p>

    Gitzo GT2541 and RRS BH-40?

    in Accessories

    Posted

    <p>I like the idea of a 4-section tripod, because I do a lot of travel and portability is something that matters to me. Also, I've read reviews saying there is very little, if any, difference between the 3-section and 4-section Gitzos.</p>

    <p>As far as the Manfrotto 190CX3, I've used the aluminum version and found it a little short. If I was going to go Manfrotto, it would probably be the 055.</p>

    Acra Swiss Plate for ETRSi

    in Medium Format

    Posted

    <p>I'm buying a Really Right Stuff BH-40, and one of the main cameras I am going to be using on it is my Bronica ETRSi. However, they are pointing me to a QR plate that is for collared lenses. I'd really like a plate that's actually designed for my camera, especially if I'm buying a Bronica-specific plate. Can you guys recommend a more suitable Arca Swiss QR plate?</p>

    Gitzo GT2541 and RRS BH-40?

    in Accessories

    Posted

    <p>After blowing a few shots due to poor support (a $30 Ritz Camera special), I've decided to bite the bullet and shell out for a top of the line Tripod and Ballhead combination. After puttering about the Interwebs for a little bit too long, I think I've settled on the combination Gitzo GT2541 and Really Right Stuff BH-40 Ballhead.</p>

    <p>The two heaviest camera/lens combinations I'll be using are a Nikon D40 w/ a 70-300mm VR and a Bronica ETRSi with a 150mm lens. A Mamiya RB67 may see spot duty if my friend wants to lend it to me. Admittedly, this setup is probably a little overkill (well, not for the Mamiya, but that'll be once or twice), but I want to have room to grow and not worry about buying anything else.</p>

    <p>That being said, this IS an expensive setup, and even though I'm not really worried about the cost, I'm worried I'm spending money just to spend money here. This is further complicated by the fact that the only camera shop I know here in Austin, TX doesn't carry Gitzo Tripods, so I can't compare the Gitzo to say, a Manfrotto, in my hands. What do you guys think? Is this setup worth it?</p>

    <p>Another shot from my road trip, this one from the Japanese Tea Garden in San Antonio, TX. This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.</p>

    <p>I was checking out the Japanese Tea Garden in San Antonio, when I noticed another photographer grabbing shots of the beautiful scenery with a different purpose in mind. I absolutely love some of the facial expressions I captured here.</p>

    Bronica ETRSi 120 back labeled "scratches negatives"

    in Medium Format

    Posted

    <p>I just bought a Bronica ETRSi system off Craigslist and I got a second 120 back thrown in, because it was labeled "back scratches negatives". It was thrown in for free, so I figured, why not?</p>

    <p>I took a look at the back, and it seems that the pressure plate has sharp edges (especially in comparison to the other 120 back). So I was thinking I could put a little tape around the edges OR sand the edges down slightly (riskier). I have not run a roll of film through this back yet, so it may not even scratch that bad - but I'd rather not chance anything. Any suggestions?</p>

    <p>My favorite shot this week goes to Jeff Lipsman. I do love light painting. How'd you make the orb?<br /> It rained a ton last week in Maryland, so I stayed inside and shot self-portraits. I'm trying to learn how to use off-camera flash. Here's my best shot, and you can click through to see a contact sheet from the shoot:</p>

    <p>This week's shot is a self-portrait. I just got an SB-25 and some radio triggers, so I started playing around with them.</p>

    <p>The original idea for this shot was to aim the (snooted) flash into the TLR and see if there was enough residual light to light my face. There wasn't, but I liked the idea, so I angled the flash to hit the front of the TLR and my face to try and make it appear like what I was seeing through the viewfinder was "illuminating."</p>

    <p>My favorite this week: Mac Polski. Just a great capture.</p>

    <p>I checked out the cherry blossoms this weekend. There were about seven million other photographers down there. This is one of them.</p>

    Wide Angle Lens Recommendation

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <p>This my first post here, so be gentle...<br>

    I'm going on a road trip in the beginning of June (leaving on Memorial Day weekend, actually) and I was thinking about getting a Wide Angle lens to take with me. (It's an excuse for new gear I know.)</p>

    <p>So here's what I currently have:<br>

    Nikon D40<br>

    18-55mm kit lens<br>

    35mm f/1.8<br>

    70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR</p>

    <p>I'm thinking of looking at the Nikkor 10-24 and 12-24, Sigma 10-20 and Tokina 12-24. I thought about the Tokina 11-16, because I like the f/2.8, but the limited zoom range and the lack of AF are dealbreakers for me. Honestly, I'm leaning towards the Nikkor 12-24 because (on paper) I like the constant aperture, less distortion, better build quality and internal zoom.</p>

    <p>What do you guys recommend? Also, which has better IQ? (Lower distortion is a plus. I'm not sure if any of these is really an architectural lens.) I'd like to keep the price around $500 - I'm thinking used on the Nikon 12-24.</p>

    <p>On travel this week, so here's a shot from the ton of snow we got in DC in February. The orange cast is from the sodium vapor light that was peeking past a wall as I retraced my steps.<br>

    <p>This is my first post on Nikon Wednesday. This is a shot from a concert last month in Baltimore, MD. The band is called Jeff the Brotherhood.<br>
