You can shoot stills outside the rail, inside the rail you need creds. Also you can't shoot outside the rail commercially without creds either, so no mega zooming into the field and trying to sell a photo to the pro at a smoke break, that is a BIG no-no.

Bellagio allows all non-commercial photography outside the rail and they even have a huge sign posted outside Bobby's room disclaiming that if you are in or near the poker room be advised that you are subject to being photographed at any time.

But of course, a little politeness goes a long way and when you do many cash game pros are happy to turn and pose for you from off the rail, just make sure you bracket because they won't wait around for you to retake

Hope that answers your question.

Yes, it does answer my question—thanks for taking the time to do it!

You seem to have your pulse on things out there, any Andy Beal sightings of late?

I feel so disconnected not being out to Vegas for a few years. Last time I was there they were putting the finishing touches on CityCenter.

Two days? Twenty hours?

lol...That's why I pay somebody else to do that.

I enjoy the work (and the workout) but I really enjoy the end results. It isn't that much different than photography, just different medium and different tools. The passion and attention to detail are the same.

However, I understand paying someone to do the work!

Yeah, I tried again about an hour or two later, and it went through. Sweet.

My car needs some polishing something fierce. Two years worth of microscratches/swirls in the paint.

But I don't drive it much...So paying a couple of hundred every year or two goes a long way and lasts a long time.

Drew, I'll chime in (way late) with the others here and say to be sure to take that as a compliment, that normally your photos are the best but these NHL (?) photos are as good as the bar you set. Reading the comment again, it seems to me that it wasn't intended to slight you, it's just very poorly worded.

Another rainy day here today, but at least I got off work early. And I'd remembered to pack the macro lens in my bag, so I went to see if there was anything interesting in the park by my place. I found this:

Which is about a 60% crop of the full version, and when you view the full size version you can see even more raindrops reflected in the raindrops on the flower. This was taken with the Tamron 60mm Macro, manual focus using LiveView.

Love the photo meglet; I like staring at the little droplets on the flower.

New one from tonight - please critique.

I'm not sure what you are going for exactly, were you just using a single flash setup? I think it looks nice but maybe bump the green up a bit more ?

Well if I wasn't putting it off enough on my own my night spent in the hospital certainly got my mind off of it...

All is ok now so just gotta make me remaining healthy my top priority

Oh no..what you go to the hospital for Drew?

Very nice, but why the older model of the Sigma? They perform the same of course, and hopefully yours doesn't have focusing errors like many of us. lol

I just have to say HOLY CRAP look at the sharpness! Superb.

I get my vertical grip tomorrow and can't wait. It will be nice for sports, and it will be interesting how it changes the balance of the camera.

For everyone with a grip, do you ever take it off to shoot? The 60D already feels great in my hands, does the grip take away or add to your shooting experience when you aren't shooting vertical, in your opinions?

I never took off my battery grip ever since I got it on the 60D - it feels great and I love how feels in my hands. I never liked battery grips on the Rebels though. I do find it very handy to have the vertical shutter for portraits and landscapes too.

I haven't taken mine off since it went on. I love the size and weight it added.

But I'm a big guy, with big hands...Gripped 60D with the 70-200 on it feels about perfect to me. Everything else at this point feels like a point-n-shoot.

Feels good with every lens, but it does dwarf the 50mm 1.8. LOL

Then buy the (soon to be released) Lightroom 4 upgrade and you have saved quite a bundle...

Thanks! I bought a copy for my friend. ^_^

Just got my 60D from CLP (598 shutter activations, looks absolutely new). No photos to post yet, but I like the feel & responsiveness of the camera. I'm still a touch concerned about the added weight vs my current XSi, as I travel & walk a lot, but I think the difference is worth it. Hey, it's still much lighter than my old T90--and the upper deck LCD is very similar.

Welcome to the 60D club! You won't notice the little XSi anymore after you start playing with this bad boy~

shot this music video with my 60D 200 2.8 and 50 1.4

Like the video and the song ..good job being all hand held, it didn't give me a headache and was pleasant to watch.

What do you think of producing books? I'm kinda kicking that idea around. Lightroom 4 now has the book creation, but I still like the software from blurb better. http://www.blurb.com/

I'm undecided on this matter

Oh no..what you go to the hospital for Drew?

I was having heart palpitations and difficulty breathing and on my way to my friends care to head to urgent care I collapsed in the parking lot and thats when he called 911 and I was transported to the hospital. Probably the scariest 5 minutes of my life but the good news is they have ruled out anything heart related.

oh my ....I would have freaked out but glad your friend was level headed and helped you out!! That's so scary though...even if they tested you are checked out I'd still be a little weary.

I forgot I shot a little video when I first go the 60D. These guys are funny and extremly talented, if you ever get the chance to see them do it.

I was on a pretty tight budget and I found a really good deal on the lens and from what I can tell, it works just great.
