I put the D in RICHARSON
I was probably seventy-five to a hundred feet from each of the subjects.
With the mirror 500mm, it's easy to be stealthy. These individuals had no idea I was photographing them. The lens itself isn't any longer than my 24-70mm. Couldn't be anywhere near as inconspicuous with my next longest FL lens (70-200 f/2.8 VR), which is twice the physical length of the mirror 500.
With the fixed focal length and f-stop, it's best to have the subject be in direct lighting to get the fastest shutter speeds. I cranked the ISO to 1000 yesterday to help with that. 500 would have gotten me what I needed, but I actually wanted to have the extra noise. And, with that ISO in those lighting conditions, my shutter speeds were routinely in the 1/3200th range, so there was zero worry about camera shake blurr. Any softness to the images I got was related to the amount of attention I paid to ensuring perfect focus.

A couple that I did this morning. Haven't touched HDR for some time, but wanted to give it another go.

I'm looking at getting the Canon 7D. Anyone have one? Anyone have any opinions about it?

I approve this post.
I have a 7D and it's great.
About as good as you're going to get without having a full size sensor really. Good feature set, good controls. Good low light response (low noise).
I have found that I don't know if I always trust the Auto White Balance, seems to let things get out of hand.

I am going to be doing Scott Kelby's Photo walk this Saturday in Little Tokyo/Arts District. Do you guys have any advice for me? Equipment and such. Thanks.

Do you know of any good tutorials or books on Lightroom? I just got it a few days ago.

I was in the pool!!
There's a million and one tutorials on the web, including on Adobe's own web site.

I've always been into photography but I'm taking it a little more seriously (well, slightly more seriously) these days. Figured I'd show a pic in this thread.
