Hanging around Six Flags the other night. I've been wanting to shoot the observation tower for a long time. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n312/xmenporsche/Landscapes/SixFlagsandMoonFramed-web.jpg This is an HDR image of the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums...

Gambino: Yes, my TC is a Nikon. Asha: Not sure what you're getting at. I don't see how aperture could affect focal length. Anyway, I posted the same question on the Texas Photo Forum and here's the answer I got from a fellow Nikon user: "It's due to the way the focal lengths get recorded in the...

What's kind of odd is that I'm only getting 550mm.

Wonder why I'm not seeing the full 560mm? Sounds like a post for TPF.

When I embed the images in the frames in Photoshop I tend to lose the EXIF data.

It was 1/500, f/5.6, 550mm, ISO200, manual exposure. F/5.6 is the widest I could go with the 200-400 f/4 and the 1.4x TC.

It's the Nikon 200-400 f/4 VR. Can't WAIT to try it out this weekend.

Dang. I was about to *SPONSPOR* you.... but since it wasn't really you, never mind.

220.... 221.... Whatever it takes.

Drat! It IS a Vista machine. He's going to be so bummed out.

Thanks for the info.

Okay, I just loaded up Tribes 2 on my son's machine. Works fine. I also downloaded the multi-player patch so that he can play on-line. When I apply the patch the game stops working. Thoughts?
