Mr. Zampelli,
My name is Bill Barber and I am a a Reservist in the U.S. Navy. I was recently selected to be promoted to Chief Petty Officer. Part of the process of being promoted is to build a box to hold a special book. My box is part of a set of 10 - the other 9 being those going through the process with me. We are trying to select a picture to adorn the back of our boxes that can only be seen when all 10 boxes are together and lined up.
Your image on your site of the Lone Sailor was chosen amongst us for this purpose. We are unable to purchase the size of picture needed to cover all the boxes. We have access to a plotter that will print a picture for us that is large enough to fit. For this, we would need a high-res digital version of the photo.
We hope you would be able to allow us to use the photo in this manner. We understand Intellectual Property rights etc. and would have no problem giving you credit for this wonderful piece of art you created. This photo is not nor every will be used by us for commercial purposes.
Love this one. The puck is in the perfect spot. I just set the camera to flourescent at Toyota Sports Center. 1/320 sec exposure f/2.8 Didn't have to tweak the color at all.
The daughter got Student of the Week this week, so she got to take home the class mascot (Boomer, the stuffed dog) for the weekend. Teacher asked for pics of things she did with the dog over the weekend.
I got inspired to try one of those tilt-shift fakies from that Disney video. It's not TECHNICALLY a DSLR picture but I didn't know where else to put it. Thought it came out ok for a first shot.
So I've been thinking of upgrading to a pro camera from the 50d.
I looked at the 5D Mark II which is 21 mpx and full frame but it is billed as a portrait camera and has issues such as slow frames per second and some focussing problems with fast moving objects. The only other alternative that is above 10 mpx is the $6,000 camera. something Mark III which is out of my league. Just can't spend that much for something that will be out of date in two years like every other camera.
The 7D came out this week but it's just a slight upgrade from 15 mpx to 18 mpx and I'm not sure it would even be much of an improvement.
I guess I'll have to sit and wait for a mid-ranged and fast camera for sports/action shooting. Am I missing something here?
