Thanks to everyone for the input!!! I'm still in drooling mode, but it looks like a 58 is going to be the first round of B&H-ing. David's 2-head asymmetrical Elinchrome suggestion feels good too, as does an Elinchrome ring flash. The big deal has been; do I really want to buy an A900 and FX glas...

Well, shoot... I've been reading tons and thinking about my shooting style, and everything I point a camera at is moving. As we all know, the price of capturing moving subjects increases with the subject's speed exponentially. Having shot with an NEX5 for the last year, I can confidently say I am no...

Dear David; Thank you very much for taking the time to compose your suggestions. Yup, it's a bit of a jungle out there, especially because I am nowhere near a place to go and see all of this stuff. I've been on Elinchrome's web site and it is just a tad confusing, like Quantum's. Yes, I like the ide...

The flash situation... Greetings, everyone! I've been reading boatloads about portable flash, arrays, channels, triggers (radio and optical), on camera, off camera, diffusers, modifiers, gels, etc... I've also been enjoying reading a couple of books by Joe McNally on the subject. He's got some reall...

Allow me to join the rest and welcome you in the forum. We are all great guys here, including me :mrgreen: ... and even David... you know, he's the boss... and as they say, the boss is always right (you know the remaining rules concerning the bosses, don't you :wink: ). Thank you too, Dr... Are you...

Welcome to the forum from me as well Clint :D . Looking forward to hearing your views and seeing your pictures. (I've never used the Sony 70-200, but the reviews I've read, as Pako also says, suggest it is a very good lens if you ignore the close focus ability, and at least as good as the Canikon a...

The idea (well), we'll come back to the idea... so: the idea? What kind of photography do you want to do in CR? Yoga... lots of yoga happening down here. I love it and practice 5 days per week and teach one class per week in Spanish. I'm thinking about doing a traveler's guide to yoga in Central Am...

Welcome to our little community here Clint! Sounds like you'll have tons of images to share with us, so please do. Looking forward to your contributions. Mark Hi Mark and thank you for the welcome. Yes, indeed I do enjoy what I've been reading in the 'community'. Lots of questions have been answere...

Greetings Everyone! I'm glad to have found this forum and the Photoclubalpha site. I'm a pro shooter from years ago, seasoned on a Canon 1D MK II (Yeah, it's been a while) with L-series glass; 24-70mm f2.8 L USM, 85mm f1.2 L USM and 70-200mm f2.8 IS USM and a ton of other stuff. Got out of the busin...
