Re: Tennis elbow for photographers?
As per your website advice column, you may want to lose the 24-70 lest brides ask you whether or not you use zooms! :-P Okay in all seriousness, yeah it can get heavy. A full-size camera body and a 70-200, OUCH. ...Which is why I try and stick with a grip-less D300 or D700, with primes on the D700 and crop-sensor zooms on… -
Re: Sorry, I'm still not getting the resolution/ppi thing
Ignore the ppi More than 99% of the time, you can completely ignore the ppi setting (just like Picassa did). This is truly one of the most confusing aspects of Photoshop for photograhers just looking to make an 8x10 print. The ppi value is just a piece of metadata on your image and as long as you tell your printing… -
Re: is one of those high-powered "confusers" really necessary?
I would not bother with Alienware unless you have care about an extra 3 fps in Countstrike: Source and you're running it at 1600x1200. Or you have a lot of cash burning a hole in your pocket and no better use for it. RAID-0 is probably a bad idea; it's faster but it also introduces two points of failure for your hard… -
Re: New to Canon, 5D to be specific, tips tricks?
I've been shooting with a 5D for about a year now. On WB: I shoot RAW and use Lightroom for my conversions. Often I leave the WB on auto and use a set of WB presets I have created in Lightroom. I like the Canon WB settings for sun, shade, and cloudy better than the build in Lightroom equivalents so I use develop presets.… -
Re: Canon's EOS 7D yeah on nay??
After three weeks with a 7d, I can say BIG FAT YEAH. I'm more impressed with this machine every time I use it and have to admit that my keeper rate has increased exponentially - it seems like more shots come out properly exposed and properly focused (the AF is truly wonderful) but with less conscious effort on my part -… -
Re: aperture 3 upgrade
After upgrading to Aperture 3 Thanks both. I pulled the trigger this morning and it was a summer breeze. The installer did the conversions in a few minutes, I avoided the places option and was up and running. Actually think I will use places in future - it looks neat. I DO have to think better how I organize my photos… -
Re: Zion National Park Too
Bear, it is all in your mind and you just have to set post-op goals and fight to meet them. When I talked with my surgeon pre-op, I told him that I wanted the knee with the most flex (they normally reserve them for the younger more active people under 60). He knows that I am a photographer and I told him that I wanted to… -
Re: portrait help please!
Thank you all for your time and advice on this! This was a shot from only my fourth time doing a family photo shoot (all for friends), so I consider myself a novice, for sure. And the post processing...well...there's no doubt I'm a novice there! I didn't think this shot was going to be a keeper (poor exposure), but when I… -
Re: My first paid wedding!
A smallish statement first. I'm not fond of HDR photography, because 99% of it is done wrong and looks like crap. Same thing goes to other extensive editing when done with out purpose. How ever when I started out I primarily shot photographs so I would have something to tamper with and not because of the photographs… -
Re: first wedding--question
The bottom line is that BOTH "business models" (and the shooting philosophies that go with them) work very, very well. It just depends what type of photographer you are, and also where you live. In Southern California, 99% of the clientele I deal with thinks it's perfectly normal to receive 700-1500 images. Yeah. Some even…
