Nate, - hope you don't mind me asking this: I seem to remember you getting your 600D not long after me, then in next to no time at all you had a 60D as well.

I am just curious:

1. Why did you feel the need to buy both?
2. What benefits does the 60 give you?
3. Are there anythings about the 600 that you would miss if you only had the 60? (just thinking that the 600 is 'relatively' new whereas the 60 has been around a while, so there are I think a few bits of new tech on the 600 that are not on the 60, even though the 60 is the higher spec camera).

You can see where I am going with this, I love the 600d, but I like the heavier weight of the 60, I like the longer body and the top mounted lcd- so I am wondering whether to upgrade (as I cannot afford both - really want a 5D mk111 and a bunch of L lenses- but dream on :biggrin:).

any other thoughts? - is there a new version of the 60 due out any time soon that would be worth waiting for?

Thanks all

It is a 3 day, live webinar on speedlites it is set in pacific time so I could not stay up to watch it all but what I watched was better than sitting in front of the TV as usual.

It is free to watch live, (I think they are going to sell the edited course after as a dvd) last night was basics, much of which I knew but still, filled in some gaps and consolidated some things for me (might stop me asking Trev all the time :smile:) - and I have learned that 'you never know as much as you think you know, there is always somthing to learn).

Tonight it is taking the flash off camera (gives you some idea of the detail - a whole day on 'ON' camera flash!) there are live questions and asnwers by email and a small group of on-site students - it is basically a window into a real live class that would cost you a fair price to attend for real.

I'll be watching as much of tonight's as I can

Wanted to use it off camera the other day and wanted to have a faster shutter speed than the 1/200th sync speed of my 600D - I could not get it to go higher, even though I had the flash set to HSS.

I just tried it now ON camera and it works great, set the flash to HSS and leave in ETTL, set the camera to manual and could dial in any shutter speed I want, got really consistent result every time.

I suspect I already know the answer; that it will only work off camera (on a 600D at least) by means of ETTL cable and it won't work for some reason in wireless mode

Can anyone confirm this for me or am I missing something?

Cheers

I have had some images printed as a half page spread in a regional newspaper. The newspaper is now telling me that I will not be paid as I am a "reader". I e-mailed them the images and they accepted them, in the same way that I have done with other publications on several occasions.. At no point did I feel that I had to ask specifically for payment. They sell their newspaper, but appear unwilling to pay for the content as I did not specifically ask for payment...

Your thoughts please?

2 - Being able to get under the bikes was awesome, I did end up being covered in mud.


3 - basically used 2 lenses, the old trusty 35-350L which is an awesome lens for this sort of event, also was able to use my Siggy 12 -24mm - this was taken at 12mm... We had the most wonderful fluffy white clouds, a lot of the shots were taken with flash to try to fill in some details.


4 - there were times when I was able to get a bit too close - again at 12mm

I am considering the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
Main use would be as a general lens( I know it's heavy, but not an issue), and to get me closer to the birds.
Would like a 100-400 but think the 70-200 would give me more flexibility particularly with f2.8 throughout.
Flashcamera.co.uk are offering the 70-200 at £1599 and they say that I would get a Uk invoice which would qualify for Canon Cashback (currently £175 on this lens).

High dynamic range/multiple exposure in DPP
The latest version of Canon's Digital Photo Professional software offers tools for high dyanamic range (HDR) and multiple exposure (ME) processing. We'd like to see good examples of the use of these tools - the final images and the intermediate images. You can download the latest version of DPP at http://software.canon-europe.com/

Group photographs
We need images of groups - which we are defining as three or more people (right up to large groups of 20 or more). Comparison photos are of particular interest - with and without fill-in flash, for example, or different compositions of the same group of people. We will post further details of specific requirements in the next few days.

This is packed with information to help readers get more from their EOS camera. Each issue contains a mix of articles covering areas such as camera modes, lenses, flash, choosing and using Canon accessories, and photographing specific subjects with EOS cameras. Many of the articles are written in-house, but we welcome material from contributors.

The emphasis must be on EOS. We are not interested in articles which could appear in other photo magazines. For example, there is no point in submitting a general article on landscape photography. To be of interest to EOS magazine, a landscape article must talk about the subject in terms of EF lenses and the controls on EOS cameras. Any photographs submitted with features must have been taken with an EOS camera (though not necessarily a Canon lens). Study the magazine carefully to see how EOS Technique features are written. Information is presented in small easy-to-follow sections with extended captions and helpful margin notes. Ideally, material should be submitted in this style.

Level of information
EOS magazine readers range from total beginners to experienced professional photographers. You have to write for all these abilities. Margin notes are used to explain basic photographic terms without alienating the more knowledgeable reader. Contributors are expected to supply these notes. Although many EOS cameras share similar features, they do not all work in the same way. If you have the information available, differences in operation should be listed, and it should be made clear which cameras can and cannot be used for a particular technique. Where appropriate, information should be submitted as a chart or table.

Added value
Technique features should be given ‘added value’. For instance, in a feature about bounce flash, include a side box about taking better pictures with the built-in flash. This helps to ensure that there is something of interest for all readers, even if they don’t own the featured equipment. In addition to the main body of text, there should be tips on taking photographs similar to those used in the article, or interesting items about the subject. Technique features vary in length from two to eight pages.
We recommend that you contact EOS magazine before you start work on a feature. We may already be working on a feature with similar content, or we may feel that your idea is not suitable for EOS magazine at the moment. Send an e-mail with an outline of your proposal to:

The EOS magazine picture library is now entirely digital and we only accept digital image files
• Images should be submitted as TIFF or JPEG files on CD or DVD (ISO 9600 format for compatability with PC and Mac computers).
• Use a file size of 5B to 80MB at 300dpi when uncompressed (saved JPEG files will often be smaller than this). We do not accept low-resolution images for the library.
• We prefer unsharpened images (in-camera sharpening is acceptable)
• We prefer sRGB colour space, but Adobe RGB colour space is accepted.
• If possible, captions and credits should be attached to each image file using the IPTC facility found in many image editing programs. Otherwise, a covering letter should provide this information for each image. The EXIF data automatically saved with the image file will usually provide all the information we need about the camera, lens and exposure.
• Please include a set of thumbnail prints of your images. We will use these for reference only, so print quality is not important.
• Your full name, postal address and e-mail address should be attached to both the CD and thumbnail print-out.
• DO NOT send image files by e-mail unless specifically requested.

EOS magazine runs an in-house picture library which welcomes all types of images shot with EOS cameras and accessories.The library provides photographs for many of the technique articles published in the magazine. All pictures must be taken with an EOS camera (though not necessarily an EOS lens). We welcome images from photographers based in the UK or around the world.

While we always need outstanding images, we particularly require images which demonstrate photographic techniques that can be carried out with EOS cameras. These include exposure compensation, fill-in flash, spot metering, bounce flash, multiple exposures, macro photography, fast AF function, image stabilisation lenses, depth-of-field - in fact, any photo technique or camera function or feature you can think of.*

Unlike most other photo libraries, we require full details of the equipment and techniques used for each picture.*Ideally, this information should be included in the image file. Many image software programs allow you to add IPTC data, such as captions. You should also add your name and, if possible, e-mail address. We use an image management system which allows us to display this information with the image. The system also displays all the EXIF data, providing details of shutter speed, aperture, ISO, camera, lens, etc.

Comparison shots
Comparison shots are one of the strengths of the EOS magazine photo library. The demonstration of a filter, for example, is only really effective if pictures taken both with and without the filter are published. If you are showing how a reflector is used, take some pictures without the reflector. If you are demonstrating spot metering, take a picture to show the same subject shot with centre-weighted metering. Almost every technique will benefit from comparison pictures - and this increases your publication fees!

Sequences
Using a sequence of photos is often a good way to illustrate a point. For example, take pictures from the same position using different settings of a zoom lens, or lenses of different focal lengths. Not only will you increase the chance of a sale, but you’ll also get paid more if a sequence of pictures is used. ]]> EOS magazine photo requirements Robert Scott http://www.eos-magazine-forum.com/showthread.php?11493-About-the-EOS-magazine-Photo-Library <![CDATA[Don't try this at home with your 7D]]> http://www.eos-magazine-forum.com/showthread.php?11492-Don-t-try-this-at-home-with-your-7D&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 08:47:11 GMT Hi All,

Here's Yellow Archangel, Lamiastrum galeobdolon -



It's one of the dead-nettles, but yellow dead-nettle doesn't sound as interesting.... There is a garden variety with variegated leaves (sometimes called the aluminium plant because of the metallic look of the patches on the leaves).

And this is Sweet Woodruff, Galium odorata (odorata reflecting the sweet smell) -



Nice plant - I like the whorls of leaves - but a bit of a thug in flower-beds...
Wasn't happy with any shot out in the garden - there is virtually no detail showing in the white flowers because there is no detail to show, if you get my drift...
So, brought it indoors to play around a bit -

Had to have a background that gave some contrast with the white flowers -

They are wonderful parents and becoming quite tame as they feed bread to the babies so are pleased to see me! We have probably had 100 mallard ducklings and not one survivor, so I will be interested to see if the coots last! I had always suspected moorhens or coots of killing the ducklings, but I now think it is the other mallards protecting their space. Also, only the female duck looks after the young and they whizz about everywhere from an early age. The coots both do the parenting and run a very tight ship - I could watch them for hours.

Just a quick introduction from North Wales. I have only owned a DSLR for a couple of months and am busy learning what all the buttons do! Having fun with the control it offers and drooling over lenses that lie way off in the future for now. Plenty of cheaper toy accessories to get through before I can justify upgrading.

(It is also quite possible I'm completely missing something though and there's nothing wrong with the camera at all, just me!)

I normally shoot in AV or TV mode.
My understanding is that when I move the dial to set a shutter speed, say for example 1/60, it automatically sets the correct aperture, and the little indicator line on the exposure scale (from -2 to +2) points to zero in the middle.

When I try this now, the indicator line stays fixed at the marker before -1 (-1.3?). And if I then set a desired shutter speed (say 1/60), the resulting exposure comes out dark. It doesn't seem to move from that spot, no matter what shutter speed or aperture I set.

It does move however in full manual mode. This is currently the only way I'm able to record an accurate exposure.
