    With what you have described, you should be able to shoot anything and everything. Good luck and don't forget to have fun!!

    Photography Lessons

    I would second the Bryan Peterson book, Understanding Exposure. If you get nothing else, other than an understanding of the exposure triangle, it is well worth the read. Most, and I would argue all, photography is based on the relationship between Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO (the exposure...

    Need a new lens recommendation

    I haven't shot basketball in awhile, however when I did the 85 f1.8 was always the go-to lens. It appears you are on a budget, so I would check on Keh.com.

    How is my trinity?

    While all those lenses will work, you didn't say what camera you will be using. If it's an APS-C then the 28 of the 28-70 can be little tight along with the 50. I shoot APS-C and have used the Sigma 28-70 extensively. When I need to shoot wide I use a Tamron 17-50 (f2.8 XR DiII SP) and on the...

    Do you take a laptop for day by day memory card dumps?

    I backup the images to my laptop and a portable hard drive each night. I always have the images stored in at least two locations before re-formatting the cards.

    Do you find you prefer different lenses in different parks?

    I use a crop sensor camera and I have four lenses that I carry and use in whatever park I am in. I tend to shoot everything and photography is a major part of the trip. This may not work for everyone. Walkaround- 28-70 f2.8, in your case I would use the 18-55 kit. Wide angle- 17-50 f2.8, for...

    WDW tripod size limits: Manfrotto 190CXPRO4?

    Mine hangs on the side of my bag and no one has ever checked it. They look inside the bag and are done. I have used it extensively throughout the parks at night and have never been questioned.

    Frozen ride in Epcot

    Full disclosure, I'm not a Frozen movie fan, however the song was ok the first few times I heard it! Now, with a Frozen attraction in the World Showcase of EPCOT? What are they thinking? It's not what my family goes to EPCOT to see. Take your choice, MK for the princess aspect or DHS for the...

    What to bring? Help me decide!!

    Everything is dependent on what you plan to shoot. Your lenses are the tools in your toolbox. You will need a walk around lens that has some lowlight capabilities because the days are getting shorter. If you going to shoot the safari and shows you will need some length and maybe lowlight...

    Balancing family time with photo time

    First, everyone knows I will be shooting. None of them like to pose, so for the most part, nice family photos are literally out of the picture. I start with an informal plan of what I want to concentrate on for the trip. Then I take what comes. I will take candids of the family doing whatever...
