Thanks guys! I had it on aperture priority mode the whole time, maybe because they weren't moving as fast as adults out in the field and was able to capture the moment? If I get a chance to go back out, since I work every Saturday , I'll use shutter priority and see how that pans out.

 

Bad ass!

 

yea from the few sporting things i have done. I have had much more success shooting shutter priority then aperture.

 

Same. This is where a faster lens sure helps though.



Hey guys, I'm going to Jerusalem this Summer. (Didn't happen last Summer so I hope the trip doesn't get messed up this year) and haven't brought my camera overseas for a trip like this. I'll be taking photos of landscapes and architecture as well as people and who knows what else. I'm thinking the typical set of a wide, prime normal, and tele?

I have a Crumpler 5MDH bag that fits the body and three lenses so I'm bringing three.

10-24
35 f/1.8
70-300 or 85 f/1.8 to save weight/space?

Obviously the 70-300 is more versatile by a long shot but the size difference and speed difference is why I'm considering the 85. 1.8 is nice compared to 4.5-5.6.


Input?

 

Also, I have a crop sensor, so the 35 and 85 are equivalents of 52.5 and 127.5. A little more reasonable reach for a "tele" equivalent. That's really my only debate is between the 70-300 or 85.

I also have a 50mm, and 16-85 available for my use but am not really considering them at this point over the ultra wide and primes that I love.

 

I should have a new camera within 2 months

 

Yep. Finally. I've asked it for Christmas. It's like the only thing I asked for so everyone is pitching in for it. lol. D7100

 

Len's look great. But im gonna sugest something else for you.

I bought a Pelican 1510 case and it is PERFECT for a camera case. Pick an pluck foam lets you design it just how you want. Its a small case so easy to carry and fits in overhead flight storage. Also has wheels and a pull out handle. Plus...its a freaking Pelican case..haha So its freaking everything proof. Its also not super expensive..for a pelican case..like 150ish. Id highly recommend it for your trip or anyone really that fly's with a DSLR. Im confident you could fit a body and up to 6 lenses if don't right depending on size or a couple bodies and a couple lenses.

Just a thought.

 

I'll look into it for future "insurance" of my camera gear ha

 

yea just a a thought. Pretty cool cases.

 

Quick question for you guys. My D3000 had this happen last week..





Any way to fix it/put it back in place?

 

Push real hard? ha

I honestly don't know but will it give any when you try and push it back?

 

I've tried pretty hard haha. No give though. You can see it's cracked at the top.

 

I wonder if those two internal plastic tabs need to be pushed to clear something. I would take it in to a pro to be honest if I wasn't having any success in pushing it back together myself.

 

Yes, she is...

 

Few pics...

 

It's always cool to see people go from, "I'm thinking about getting a camera" to "BAM! My pics are flippin' sweet!" haha those are looking great, man^

 

X2!

 

Yeah, maybe one day I'll learn to take good pictures but for now I just take as many as possible haha
