How is wildlife photography much different than sports photography (other than the obvious need for a faster shutter speed)? Most sports photographers use the same lenses that wildlife photographers use. Is it because they crop less?

The nature photographer works to get close and the dream is to fill the frame and not have to crop, but it seldom works out that way. I also carry two bodies, in case something walks near me and a 500mm lens is simply too much. I'll shoot 99% with the 500mm, but occasionally grab something great with the 70-200mm. All that said, the need to crop with birds and wildlife is the biggest difference between nature and sport. Either body will work for both, but one is better for each usage. Dave

I love to shoot pictures, but my computer make me hating on processing. So I have tons of pictures to process, but no time to do so. I know I dont have the right tools tho; I guess a Core2Duo 2.2ghz with 4gb ram laptop wasnt made for picture processing after all. Besides, I was at the point where I needed to calibrate my lcd every month or so, and still get the neck pain that goes with "working too much on a laptop".
With the growing size of my catalog, it became ridiculous; waiting 30 seconds to 1 minute everytime I zoomed in or applied a setting to a picture. I was taking me twice to 3 times the time needed to process then to actually shoot. Here comes the rookie: I7 CPU @ 3.5ghz 16gb of 1600mhz ram 240gb SSD 2 X 3TB hd in raid 1 GTX560 1gb dual dvi @ 850mhz Dell 2412M LCD Cant wait to see the processing times with this beast!

wonder if they'll come out with a fuji xpro1 competitor. it's a shame that their new mount will never house a full frame sensor.

Maximus, you need a 64-bit OS also.
After you go 64-bit and have your new machine, you might try DxO Optics Pro. On my machine, with only 8GB of RAM, RAW conversion takes 6 to 8-sec. per 25MB image. Dave

I'll wait and update my comment when the catalog will be getting heavier, but with a fresh install, its ridiculously fast. And the Dell screens are dead gorgeous compared to my faded out laptop screen.

A boy can dream can't he? BTW. It seems to me that a large portion of the weight savings on the new II series superteles is the elimination of the unpowered protective front glass. This front element could be easily (and relatively cheaply) replaced on the older lenses if damaged. The front element on the new lenses is a high dollar powered optic. I suspect the days of a $500 front element replacement are over. |
