Looks like Canon is coming out with a new DSLR, the 7D. http://www.electronista.com/articles/09/08/28/canon.eos.7d.box.and.price/

I have a chance to visit this area for a few days from the west side. I will probably be doing day hikes, no overnights. I was wondering if anyone has some good beta on hikes or any good trail guides/maps. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks, Glenn

I will be going to both Yosemite and Lake Tahoe for the last week of August and first week of September. My question is: If you could only take 1 or maybe 2 lenses, what would you bring. My camera is a Canon Digital Rebel xt. I don't want to bring too much, both because of flying with them and...

I'm not sure if this belongs here, if not, mods, please delete. I've seen a lot of questions about photo equipment and I've also seen some questions about what dealers we may use. I was thinking of buying another Canon Digital Rebel XT body, since the xti came out I thought I could get a good...

I was searching for some info on the Great Basin National Park and came across this Clear Sky Clock Web page . Looks pretty cool, you can choose a state and then the region in the state. Once the "clock" comes up, you can click on any of the blocks in the time periods and see a meteorological...

When I purchased a Canon EFS 10 -22mm lens last year the instruction booklet stated that if a polarizing filter was needed, that I should use Canon's PL-C 77mm II polarizing filter. I have now just purchased the Canon EF 100 - 400mm and the instruction manual states the same thing. The...

Hi, I've seen several references to the Cokin filter system on this forum. I went to the B&H site and did a search on Cokin and was overwhelmed From what I can tell, I would need to buy a filter holder for each lense size? After that, would I now need to buy new rectangular filter to use...

Okay, I know that waterfall pictures are a dime a dozen. I took this picture of Nancy Cascades last July. I know the best time to photograph waterfalls is either early morning or late afternoon because of lighting. I happened to take this picture in the late morning. Besides the time of the...

This photo of Norcross Pond was one of the first that I took after purchasing my Canon Digital XT. I had no idea of what I was doing at the time and I think it was pretty good for a first photo. Any comments on how I could have improved upon it, I basically just did the old point and shoot and...

As I've probably mentioned a few times on this forum, I'm pretty new to DSLR photography. I own a Canon Digital Rebel XT and it came with a Tamron 28-80 f3.5-56 kit lens. This lens takes decent pictures. Right after purchasing the camera, I was going on a trip to NH and wanted a little something...

Has anyone ever used one of these? It looks like it has potential, especially for bright sunny days and also for depth of field preview. They also have another interesting looking product.

I've seen a lot of talk here about tripods. I know that there are advantages/dis-advantages over light weight vs. heavy duty. I'm trying to discern the difference between a ball head and a pan head with quick release plate. When I first purchased my digital SLR (Digital Rebel xt), I also...

I'm using a Canon Digital Rebel xt and I recently purchased the Canon 10-22mm 3.5-4.5 lens because I wanted a nice wide angle with the XT crop factor. I took this shot on a very sunny day in Harriman State park in NY. The sun was very bright and off to the left. I shot it at 10mm and was using...

Instead of hijacking the Sunrise Hikes in the ADK thread, I thought that I would ask about relatively easy sunrise hikes in the Whites (If there are any). I'm going to be staying in the Whites all next week (I'll be in Bartlett). My plan is to mainly do some leisurly day hikes to test out and...

I was planning to go to Guyot campsite next week. The plan was to hike up Zealand trail to the Twinway to Bondclif trail. I've seen the thread about the bridge closure and there's a good chance that we won't be able to get an early enough start to catch the shuttle up Zealand road. So, this...

Saw this in the NY Daily News yesterday. http://www.nydailynews.com/09-09-2005/news/story/344595p-294203c.html Warning...don't try this at home... :D :D :D

I'm looking to spend a couple of nights in the Great Gulf next week. I seem to recall a thread BC about the camping site by the intersection of the Great Gulf trail and the Wamsutta trail being closed. Does anyone have any info on this ? If it is closed, any suggestions for a decent site in the...

I didn't want to hijack the other canister thread. The question I have is about freeze dried food. If it's still sealed in it's original package, does it need to go in the canister?

Does anyone know whats up with the Lakes of the Clouds Hut ? We stopped by it this past Tuesday and it was gutted out. There were a bunch of power tools outside and it lookes like major renovations are going on. Glenn

Hi, Next month I plan on doing some driving in BC. I plan on starting from Vancouver, heading towards Banff, continuing on to Jasper and from there heading back to Vancouver. I'll have about 7 to 8 days to accomplish this. I've got the BC Atlas and other literature. My problem is that there...
