Do I have to resize them or ..?

remote images get clipped when they are wider than the hole they go in. Upload them to vorb and they will size to fit (but also compress a bit too)

Anyone have an opinion on a 40D with L series lens or even 50D with L series. The 5D MkII is a bit pricey so I'm looking for alternatives or will I miss the full frame sensor......any thoughts from the seasoned users?

If you haven't had full frame how could you miss it?

40D and 50D are both awesome cameras.

Becuase previously had a high quality SLR full frame camera and looking to make the move to digital

P&V has the 40D on for $1395 at the moment, last of line.

Takes a superb pic, no worse than the 50D and better high ISO perfoprmance.

50D advantages:
Higher resolution IF you use the absolute best lens's
VGA LCD
focus microadjust(I think?)
video.

Mostly I wouldnt be bothered , but that screen is very nice.

50D doesn't have Video, thats the 5D MkII and the new 500D

First shot is the original with no exposure compensation and the second is 3 images bracketed by 2/3s of a stop and 5 minutes playing in Photomatix which really captures the detail from the shadows. Pretty cool little tool... that I'd like to learn to use properly I think .

Nice use of HDR there.....Alot of people seem to think HDR is just the extreme, over-done images (which in some cases I really like too) but the way you've done it is a very useful tool and something I want to try soon as well. It brings out all the detail the eye can see but a camera sensor can't with just 1 exposure.

Yeah your right assumed it did.

HDR if done subtly can be ace, heres one of my early attempts, with photomatix.

I do enjoy some of the "overdone" HDRs. But its real value is helping overcome the shortfalls of a digital image sensor that can't pick up in one exposure anywhere near the amount of detail that you can with the naked eye.

really good examples of dnynamic range http://www.marcadamus.com/photo.php?id= ... =favorites

have a browse thew
also the key is to shoot for shadows (nd grads help in shooting phase)and recover the highlights post processing
easyer to recover slighty over exposed than under exposed
see example below
