Where can I find advice on using an advanced AF system for wildlife and bird photography? another suggestion: get focus off of the shutter and onto another button (aka "back button focus"), so you can control focus separately from taking the picture. With a bit of practice it becomes second nature to push both buttons when you want tracking of a subject during the shot, but to get the focus locked in and then be able to turn off tracking makes a huge difference at times. see this piece on DPS for info on this, once you get some time working with back button focus, you'll never go back. bit.ly/wpodgl |

Can you recommend a long cross body strap? An update on this topic: Black Rapid was given a patent for the sling technology and has evidently let it be known they'll be defending it. Because of that, both the manufacturer of the Luma Loop and the CameraSlingers double camera system have cancelled their products. Luma has a new product that's just hitting the market called the Cinch. I just got a review copy while I'll blog about when I use it. Because of the patent issue, I no longer recommend the blackrapid products and I'm looking to retire mine as soon as I find an alternative. |

Is there a 3rd-party Canon intervalometer which will drive both a 7D and a Rebel T3i? So based on research and talking to various photographers, right now, it looks like the Promote is the "best practices" (and rather expensive) unit. I'm currently planning on buying the Phottix (listed above) which seems to have the functionality I want but at a lower price, knowing I might decide to upgrade at some point. It seems to be "good enough" for my needs for now, and should drive either body despite the incompatible plugs (oh, canon, standardize. seriously). |

What's the best number of shots to combine to produce an HDR photo? thanks, @Andrew Heath. Yeah, I dropped my flickr account. Those images aren't currently online, but I flagged this into my Todo file to figure out. |

Is there a 3rd-party Canon intervalometer which will drive both a 7D and a Rebel T3i? more research shows the Phottix to be another (and much less expensive) option: outdoorphotogear.com/store/… |

Is there a 3rd-party Canon intervalometer which will drive both a 7D and a Rebel T3i? that's definitely an option for some, but I don't want to modify the firmware on my cameras at this time. |
