    in reply to: Future of sensors #67143

    I’ve had the Canon DsIII’s for over a year now and recently tried the Nikon D3x for a few days and I think I can say this about DSLR’s sensors – they have reached the limit of what most of the lenses can resolve and any future updates are going to get tricky if they’re just based on resolution.

    More then new cameras, I would like to see some new lenses.. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Hey Morsie & Simon & Mike, maybe we should call ourselves the Barbarians and visit this guy ?

    I’m trying to decide between a 5 or a 6 myself..

    Here’s a review I did for Flylife magazine on the 5 – with some comparison to the TCR.

    Did you shoot that from a cave or was a bear eating you ?

    in reply to: Waterproof Dry Bags and Backpacks #36230

    The Lowepro Dryzone has a decent suspension system, and lots of internal dividers. ย It is designed as a waterproof photo backpack. ย But it’s pretty heavy, expensive, and gear is not too easily accessible.

    I agree – the Dryzone has a good harness and is not bad in terms of padding ect.

    The design of the pack is crappy in the extreme (IMHO :D) and they’re a real drag to work out of.

    The zipper is also very problematic and comes apart with any pressure on it.

    The Sealine above might work if you get a padded diver section from a camera bag (like a cheaper Lowpro) and combine the two.

    Nice shadows on the first shot and I love the long highlight on the second.

    The light tent is good.. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    You do seem to have a very slight color cast – maybe a bit green ?

    Not using auto white balance are you ?

    in reply to: More gear advice #67018

    I agree with John, a flash is a priority and you should have a good one.
    Having enough power to do big daylight fills or big indoor areas is important.

    With tri-pods you can get away with a cheap one for most situations, but if you want to do merging, stacked focus or stitching, a heavier set of legs with a good head is more important.

    That’s such a beautiful creek Simon – Joel will no doubt love it.

    I’m in discussions with my friend Quinny about going to Turangi this winter to remind the locals that Australia has their coach and, if I survive, fish a little.. ;D

    I miss the big river and fancy a fling with the double hander.. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Nice Chris.

    It’s a lovely little lake – and a great place to fish.

    Joel, when you see Simon please tell him I said Hi, and remind him sheep are for wool, baaaah means no and the Wallabies are coming to get them..

    Seriously – have a great trip – it’s a beautiful place and everyone (even Simon) is cool..

    in reply to: How does it work? #66955

    It probably does a white balance and cranks the sharpness and saturation a bit – might also do auto levels..

    Pictures always need a little bump to look good on screen..

    in reply to: What do y’all think? Picture Heavy #67030

    ย Maybe I should shoot some wide shots anyway and not worry about the trashy structures in the backgrounds… ๐Ÿ˜€

    To correct myself – it would be a good idea to not shoot wide and carefully limit backgrounds if the backgrounds don’t fit with what you’re trying to express in the set of photos.

    As an outsider (bigtime ;)) I would think it’s cool that you can catch fish like you guys have in an urban environment, but that might not be your intention.

    I have also limited backgrounds on published stories about fishing as opposed to destinations so my favorite fishing spots don’t get found out.. ๐Ÿ˜‰
