Re: Photoshop CC et al.
The only change I really see here is that they no longer offer perpetual licenses to their software (though Lightroom appears to be the exception). This means you can not simply pay $700 and get the software for use forever. On the other hand, forever was more like a few years in practical terms. Otherwise, you still… -
Re: Need comments and suggestions!
Here's the thing: it depends on what your goal is. And you have to be very honest with yourself regarding your goal in posting. If your goal is to improve as a sports shooter, the best way to do that quickly is to get constructive criticism from other sports photographers more accomplished than you. Every sport has it's… -
Re: High School Football Credentials
Seems like OP solved his problem but, as a current student manager for a High School team, here's a cheatsheet to obtaining field access to a high school game: 1. Go to the school's website and find the name of the head coach of the football team (Varsity, JV, or Freshman - as some teams have different head coaches) as… -
Re: looking for advice on concert photos!
I have a hard-core metal concert coming up in February. I too am shooting with a Rebel XSi. I have a 50mm and a 17-50mm. I am not yet certain about whether I will be allowed to use flash (waiting for a response on that). The venue it is at has high enough ceilings that I am not sure the flash would actually bounce anyway.… -
Sometimes, this newb surprises himself!
Hello all. 1st time poster. :ivar I say that in my title in the sense that I really don't know what I'm doing. ;) I just bought a DSLR, two lenses with the big heavy zoom on order. I'm still hung up on thinking that I need to check if my lenses are "good versions" (jury is still out on the Pentax Wide Angle); checking if I… -
Q about Nikon AI lens on Canon EOS
I've been hearing for years that with a suitable mount adapter, you can use Nikon manual-focus lenses on Canon EOS cameras. In theory it seems simple enough, since there is no electrical connection to the lens, Canon's flange distance is less than Nikon's, and Canon's throat is wider than Nikon's. But devils often lurk in… -
Pleasing Skin Tone
Pleasing Skin Tone Tutorial by Baldy. Much of this was learned from Dan Margulis' book, Professional Photoshop. Great prints: Pleasing skin tone First, the bad news: 99% of all problems with printing photos are related to skin tones. And it's the subject most likely to make photographers weak in the knees. Now for the… -
Weekly Assignments: index, rules, etc.
2010 Fall Update It's been a long run since we started. I think we covered most of the basic stuff. From now on I'm primarily going to concentrate on portraiture/lighting/postprocessing techniques relevant for photographing human subjects. If it's not your cup of tea - the older assignments are still "open" and you're… -

Re: D700 - Should I upgrade from my D300?
Honestly? It just sounds like you're buying more and more expensive toys. You have three DSLR's already. I know this is going to sound elitist and condescending, but if you were my BEST friend, this is the coldhearted truth I'd advise you with: Focus on your craft, not your tools. I know that buying new gear makes you feel…
