PESO Lake Michigan Waves

Hi Everyone: I believe this is my 1st wave shoot. I probably shot about 90 pics, but this was the best of the bunch. The others weren't very interesting mainly because I didn't time the shots right or the wave didn't turn out as dramatic as I thought it might or the composition was uninteres

Re: EVFs ...

From: Graydon I think the driving factor behind moving to an EVF (apart from cost) is the requirement for HD video - that's going to be a must-have item. Personally I don't care, but I know that I'm not the target customer. I'm not sure this is the case. For me it's certainly not the cas

Ooooh, that's a pretty picture. The blue and the light are excellent. Plus the big prows on those boats give it an exotic look to a midwest North American land lover. Regards, Bob S. On Tue, May 12, 2009 at 8:13 AM, Brian Walters wrote: > G'day all > > One from my trip to the south coast (New So

Gross defects, probably. Marginal changes in sharpness, with this image, not in a million years. The trees appear to be in a line closest to the camera on the right and furthest away on the left. Those in the middle are in focus, the rest are not, as I would expect at f4. The leaves are prob
