    Most famous Photograph Ever?

    Earth's rise taken from the moon for me. That shot encompasses everything man has done. All the other photos are just snippets of what happens on that blue planet.

    Why don't Canon and Nikon have Sensor Stabilization?

    Having used both Pentax previously, and now Nikon, their respective stabilisation systems both work very well. I would say that the Nikon in lens VRII system is possibly better over 200mm at up to 4 stops extra handholdability than the in body SR of Pentax, but the Pentax system can pretty much...

    California and your camera bag

    D700 + D7000, 16-35 f4 VR, 24-70 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8 VRII, 1.4x TCII, 2x TCIII, SB700 flash all packed into my Lowepro Flipside 400AW. Even with all this packed into it, it is very comfortable and not tiring, the best backpack I have ever had by far.

    Allergies

    Yes, but if it's 2 pints/day, which is about 1,136ml. A litre of milk weighs between 1.027grams and 1.037grams, so if we take a mid point then 2 pints weighs in at about 1.133kg, and 40% of that is 45, so, you're actually eating about 45 grams of fat!! Full cream milk has about 75% saturated...

    Nikon D700 official owners/users thread, anything related to the D700

    Yeah, loved it. I have to get back to the UK and Europe as it is a photographers paradise, but different to Australia. In Europe/UK, it is all full of olde world buildings etc that we do not have in Australia, whereas over here it is all new and lots of open space etc. I guess it's what we get...

    Last minute bidding on eBay

    Yes, this is a good idea. Depending on my perceived belief of the popularity of the item depends on when I put my maximum bid in. If it looks to be a slow mover, I will just put the bid in early and then it is set and forget until I either win or lose it. If it is an item which looks to be...

    Nikon D700 official owners/users thread, anything related to the D700

    Thank you for your nice comment, Tom. It's a small world. A close friend that I met through another forum and also a forum member here, also lives near there too and when my wife and I went to the UK we joined up with him and his wife for a number of days and we toured the area with them. We...
