[Zilly]

ALL AUTO IN AUGUST!

Ill be out then no Auto mode on the 1 series :(

[number six]

Geez, guys, it doesn't have to rhyme!

How about August @ 3200 (ISO 3200)?

I've been playing with high ISO on my 30D - try it! This is all about experimenting, right?

Just gearing up for the exciting ALL AUTO IN AUGUST!

Anti Auto August.
Shoot everything in M mode!
Now this seems much much better :)

Here is an IR photo taken as a jpeg (like usual) I took this month with my 5D, The color was gotten with making a custom white balance in camera ;)

I don't think the XTi can do ISO 3200. :(

Right. Funny, I could do it on my hacked 300D but the XT and XTi can't.

How about saying "highest ISO". That should cover everyone and not let the mk3 guys stomp all over us. :D

Highest ISO would be too limiting. What if you are shooting in bright sunlight? Or if you need a slow shutter speed for panning or water movement. The idea is to encourage shooting, not discourage shooting.

Well, my idea was to get people to try high ISO. Obviously you can't use it sometimes. I don't see that as a problem.

Well Sport mode September will be upon us soon also.

[LeuceDeuce]

Followed by Overexposed October?

Followed by Overexposed October?


I could probably pull this one off nicely!

Really not looking forward to DROP test December though!

[MT59]

Back to the JPEGs. Always a dicey proposition shooting a dark subject against a darker background, but things worked out just super.

300D with Siggy 70-300 APO DG @ 300mm, f/5.6, 1/500, ISO200.

Edited to add: Can't wait for Overexposed October. I should have tons of material available. :-)

HEY! Don't Jinx us all! sheesh! you really gone and done it now! :evil:

[LeuceDeuce]

July's nearly over. Here's a couple of test shots I got with The Hoff's 200mm. What an absolutely fantastic lens. I can see why he's addicted to primes...

[LeuceDeuce]

Two more. I sure hope the rain holds off so I can get some fireworks tonight. I have little to no interest in standing in the rain :(

[SapperWhite]

Some pics of a female broad-necked root borer beetle I found earlier today.

[Flo]

Really nice work!

[LeuceDeuce]

Thank you Gail. I used Hoff's 200mm for this one too. I'm telling you I think he's got me hooked on the prime lenses. The IQ is just unbeatable.

So what do you have to sell in order to get one Chris;)

[LeuceDeuce]

Absolutely nothing. My birthday is next month :)

I'm so torn as to what to get though. As much fun as I've had with the 200mm it's not really conducive to me photographing cityscapes and landscapes. What it has done is shown me the quality that I'm missing out on. I'm looking at either the 14mm or the 24mm T/S right now. We'll see what I finally decide upon in a month :)

Edit: Getting ahead of myself... b-day in 6 weeks :p

[SapperWhite]

LeuceDeuce, do you have any good photos of the steam powered clock?

[LeuceDeuce]

I don't :oops:

I never go to Gastown. It's like some invisible barrier stops me from going there :)

Now that you've asked for one though, I'll go and shoot it soon. Be patient because we're slated for four days of rain :( I won't forget though.

[hotrod1935]

The month is almost over lets see more jpegs

Sounds great, what do you have?

[PiRho]

aaahhh, true! July is almost over, but I just got my new PC and I haven't processed anything from the month :( LOL I will start posting more pics so that I can start getting more C&C, but I don't think it'll happen today or tomorrow. :(

so is there a consensus on August yet?

[hotrod1935]

Playa chica Argentina:mrgreen:

[goatee]

Really nice shot, though I think I'd crop the top off (to get rid of the person with their beach towel, and clone out the head sticking out the water.

[hotrod1935]

Here´s another one

You already know what August will bring, it's in your signature, stop the hate'n and turn the dial the other direction.

I am waiting to hear more options... in the other direction :D like:

"All Manual August"
"Av August"
"F22 August"
"Handheld August"
"Pinhole August"
"Long Exposure August"
...

They just don't have a nice ring to them :(

[Chet]

Maybe well keep it simple.

"A picture a day in August." We can post our thumbnail collage at the end of the month.

Yikes... that is actually a good one.... that would probably stretch me. so does this picture have to be taken on that day? or just processed/posted then?

No like a photo journal of something about each day. Just set your tripod next to your new computer and click the shutter once each day, I'm sure that's where you'll be anyhow.

LOL thats easy :) I can do that :D

[goatee]

No dial, and no green box on my camera. . .

[hotrod1935]

Looking at my camera now i see the green box on it. Now can someone tell me what the green box is for?

[goatee]

Full automatic - no control over any settings, and no RAW option. I see no advantage of it, over P, which is also fully automatic, but lets you change the settings.
