October Photo Competition

[Anonymous]

I like the 24-105 although my personal favourite is the 24-70 2.8. Also have some sigma that are good too. Bought a 70-200 sigma as a back up to the canon version. Also over a grand cheaper and image quality is close.
I miss having a 5D though. Great camera and nice and light!

Crikey, that lot manages to make the RCZ's boot look small!

Looks professionally :thumbup:

(tripods are missing, though).

But I have to second RCZ1's statement, the best camera is the one you have with you and I don't always have my trunk full of gear, so a lot of my photos are done with a little point'n'shot camera.

Triods weren't needed for that location shoot.

And yeah, it doesn't matter what camera you have. What matters is what's 6 inches behind the camera.

I just need equipment that can handle harsh use.

A great photography debate going on here . . . . I'm in total agreement & often fall foul of not having my camera with me. Unless deliberately going out on a photo shoot I find it a bit risky leaving my kit in the car, I am also tiring a little lately carrying it around on holidays etc although I love the resulting photos I have when I get home. I am seriously thinking about a mid/higher end bridge/compact, maybe something like the Canon PowerShot SX50HS to carry around as an every day camera.

I don't think you're the only one. DSLRs and lenses can add up to a heavyweight. I wish they would spend more time and money on developing lightweight bodies and optics rather than thus ridiculous pixel race.

Heard very good things about the powershot range. I'd be very interested to know your thoughts if you fancy a bit of pixel peeping if you get one ;-)

I totally agree about the weight of lenses. Especially my Canon 100-400. I always carry this in my Lowepro slingback when shooting landscapes in case their is something I can pick off in the landscape. It's a great lens and I love the bokeh on it, but man, it weighs a ton, especially for a feeble female like me when you've got to trek for 5 miles!

Yeah the 100-400 is a very heavy lens! I think the slide zoom adds a lot. Great walk about lens though and IQ is not that much lower than the 400 f2.8 prime (and a good few grand cheaper too).
Have you tried neoprene camera straps to try and lesson the weight on your neck?

It's what you do with it that counts

I've just had a look at neoprene camera straps and they look like they could be worth investigating. Thanks for that.
I could also do with a strap for my tripod which is lightweight but you do start to feel the weight after a few miles. I usually try and get the OH to carry it

Ahem...photo competition...ahem ahem.

 

[RCZ1]

It's photography related

:lol:

 

[Anonymous]

which one?

 

[Anonymous]

Prefer the contrast and crop of the first one J.

I prefer the second. I like the balance better and the fact that the road is not visible.

 

[RCZ1]

I agree with bobbythedog. Also your car gets lost a little in the second one as there's more yellow on the trees than the first photo.

 

[RCZ1]

A little offering from me

The day the pictures was taken was during a meeting in Spa (Belgium), that day we where with 35 RCZ'

 

[Anonymous]

Wow! That sounds like a great day out! Don't suppose you got to go on the track by any chance?

[DanRo]

Yes that day went went to the track of Spa-Francorchamps, most of the people drove there RCZ on the track that day

 

[Anonymous]

I can only imagine what it must have been like to steam through Eau Rouge in an RCZ! Definitely the kind of stuff dreams are made of!
