hmm.. if it's too overcast i may bring my tripod.
Why? What lens are you using?
Canon 75-300 USM II, but i was going to do some slow shutter stuff. It's a pretty lightweight pod, so i don't mind
ill come if i can bring my point and shoot :P
Ill add ya to the list man
Why tripods? Monopod, MAYBE.. but likly not. I dont plan on doin any slow shutter activites. But ya never know??

i might bring a buddy if thats alright. providing im not working that day :|
D'oh! I would love to go, but I will be in Vienna & Budapest (with my camera, of course). I'll post some pics for everyone to see for those that are interested. I shoot with my D300/Canon, and have my boring kit lense and my favorite lens in the world, the USM/IS 75-300mm f/4-5.6. I love this lens!
I do need a good low-light lens suggestion, if anyone has one...

It doesn't take a genius to mash the gas pedal... but can you drive?
I have a 30D but only with a 18-55 lens I think is what it is (came with it). Looking at a 70-200 L but not sure which one, a few shorter ranges, and a wide. I hate driving in the city though so I might get a friend to drive it.
BUt does sound like fun.

Hey man, cant wait to meet ya. I added you to the list.
Thanks... just got into photography so I figured this would be a great thing to do. But can't figure out what to spend money on.... car or camera... LOL!
If anyone knows where to find great deals on CF cards Ultra II 1GB + please let me know... I was stupid and only bought 1 stick at BB when it was on sale for $50 out the door. Also need a spare battery.
But yeah Cent park sounds good.

CF Cards are expensive as hell. I only have 5 GB's on me , but I also have a 40 Gigabyte photobank. The photobank allows me to dump all the images on the card onto the harddrive, and while I wait I have another card available. Photobanks can be purchased around 120-180ish. Its much more worth it than picking up a handful of cards. All wedding photos are shot in raw+jpg (the camera saves them at the same time in two different formats , something im sure the 30D can do also), so that if I need to some post processing I still have the raw file, but also having jpg leaves it easier to transfer since I dont have to re-save the file. But shooting in a hi res raw and hi res jpeg can eat up a memory card. I think 2GB's only gets me 100 captures.. LOL
Best Buy has 512 MB on sale for $20 each (after mail-in rebate). I bought 4, which was cheaper than spending $140 on one 2 GB.

How much are you wanting to invest?
~$400 tops probably?
It doesn't take a genius to mash the gas pedal... but can you drive?
The Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS USM L lens retails well over 1300+.
Hell my Sigma was around a grand with tax.
Len's arent cheap these days.
My reccommendation , is to invest in a low light prime lens. I know Nikon offers a 120 dollar 50mm f/1.8. Which is an awesome low light lens. And it being a fixed focus, requires you to think about your shots more and where you position yourself! Itll make you a better photographer, its affordable, and ultra sharp. I know Canon offers something similar.
Danny do you know anywhere local I can buy an omnibounce really fast and cheap
Not going to get much for $400. You might be able to find a couple of prime lenses (50mm F1.8 MK II is one) or you can try the 28-135mm IS. The 28-135mm is not really a low light lens but the IS will help. The 70-200mm F2.8 L that Jaime shoots with retails around $1100 and the IS version is about $1700. Other then that most of the prime L lenses go for $500+.
Jaime and George, photos are looking good as always. Keep up the good work.
Sounds good Jaime. Centennial it is. And I vote for photojournalistic , but anyone can shoot anything I guess.
photobanks are just one more thing that can screw your photos up befor you get a chance to back them up. But im sure they are pretty reliable.. Im just not sure if i would bet a couple hundred grand on them yet??
"The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
In my opinion a photobank with a quality hard drive that you select is just as reliable as a CF card if not more. Hell even CF cards can get corrupted. Ive seen it on a few occasions. There is always that chance of something getting screwed up, but that comes with the territory.
i was just lookin at them a while ago.. and the seemed a little fragile. but who knows..
Those biotch brides would kill us if we said "im sorry, but my photobank harddrive crash"...."ummm can u get married again please".... bride: "what, F U u little nerd".. 2 months later we get sued for 100K$.. hahaa... Always shoot insured
but yea, ur probably right, im sure they are reliable.. i just dont have one
