Do people ever get angry if they wake up seeing you taking thier picture?

City skyline is best at dawn/dusk from the park in south perth off mill point road if you're looking for those post card type shots.

There no auto HDR in case you wanted to know.

I thought i made the smart choice by getting a rebel body and invested in a better lens. It takes great pictures and the camera is never the limiting factor to taking good pictures. i spend time developing my skills and learning to fully utilize the power of a DSLR. Can i do that with the...

Yup its a great lens. I've had the VC version for about a year now. I've been reading all these reports on the lack of sharpness wide open and at the tele end but at the end of the day i like my pictures and cannot convince myself that i need a replacement for the time being. 2.8 is pretty...

Thanks Shane! Yes custom func 5 was the culprit. Selecting option 2 (strong) for HI ISO noise reduction reduces buffer to 2 shots regardless of shooting ISO and picture size/format. Turned it back to standard and my buffer is back to 9. YIPPEE!

I'm using Kingston 8GB Class 6 SDs too.. Buffer is stuck at 2 shots despite shooting at small jpeg. Right now its still fine for travel photography but i cant take any sports or fast actions Thanks
