Hey guys - Newb here - Having trouble loading pictures? Any help would be great

You need to host them offsite.

Corey, you will want to host your photos on something like 500Px or Flickr or something similiar. They you will use embedded links to show the images on your posts. If you go to the top of the forum and search for embedding photos you should come up with a wealth of articles that go into the specifics for different hosts.

Debating on picking one of these up over a 5D MK II. Has anyone been frustrated with the 1/4000 max shutter speed? I am used to 1/8000 with both bodies I currently have and I shoot at 1.4 and 1.8 during the day a lot.

Has this been an issue? Do you just stop down to f2/f2.2?

Or use iso 50

Has not been an issue for me.

how often do you shoot portraits in bright direct sunlight (9AM-5PM). In those scenarios, 1/8000 would help you shoot an extra hour or so on both ends up to 10AM and as early as 4PM. All the time in between, you'll still need an ND filter if shooting really harsh sunlight.

I hardly ever shoot wide open and hard sun light. I'de rather be in the shade making photos than direct sun. I cant remember 1/8000 ever being an issue.

fairly small issue in practice. I have a set of ND's I use with my fast lenses in bright sun from my 5D2 days, and those rarely get used as is.

Not to tell anyone how to shoot, but I'd argue that if you're shooting portraits, wide open, in direct sunlight, you're asking for trouble.

Oh that's a nice perspective! Where did you shoot that from? All my shots of the river came from a higher vantage point, looking more down...I like yours a lot.

Off of the W Rim Trail - I had to do a little climbing down. Pic by my fiancée.

One of the smartest investments I've made in a while. Loving my new 85mm f/1.8 USM and can't get over the results it delivers. Here's a quick shot of my girl I took the other day.
