Re: Defining characteristics for Smugmug pro for hobbyists
Thanks! More feedback and more participation will give SM a collective view of the hobbyist crowd. My thoughts inlined. I think sub 100 sans key features is more appropriate for hobbyists, but if you are demanding unlimited space, then yes, $150 is ok. Why do you say unlimited space is the norm? I can't think of a single… -
Re: D600 Announcement
I shoot primarily landscapes as mentioned in the OP, but with cheaper lenses Tamron 10-24. My portrait lenses are the Sigma 17-50 and the 50-150 (per Matt's recommendation, and i love this lens). I have been much more regularly printing 16x24 or larger prints for various friends and around my own house, but not sales for… -
Re: Flying to Acadia
One of the nicest surprises of the trip was from the car rental place. I reserved a compact and they asked if I'd take a convertible. Um...yeah, twist my arm. Same price. Unlimited miles. Good luck working that freebie into future plans! Click to enlarge... Eventually we had to leave. Waited for the fog (and rain) to end,… -
Re: Living Social and Groupon
I agree. The thing is with this type of deal you have a pretty known quantity in the client you are going to get. You can work off that fixed parameter to create a product suitable and profitable to the market. I was looking at using one of these sites a while back and got some good inside info from the company. With this… -
Re: Why do other photographers laugh at my work!!??
I don't think I have anything new to add to the discussion other than to add the possibility that talent has something to do with it. Specifically, I am referring to a special aptitude for inherently recognizing what makes an impactful image impactful. For a long time I took issue with this idea, because (to me) it seemed… -
Re: CNN Fires Photojournalists
Please note that while around 50 "staffers" were let go, 11 of those were photojournalists: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/11/idUS39879393020111111 "Nearly a dozen photojournalists were given pink slips -- four in New York, five in Washington, one in Miami, and one in Los Angeles -- according to an individual with… -
Re: Abusive Comments and Thumbs Up/Down
Happy birthday Andy! And thank you for your attention to this, although I don't understand how it has become such a large and divisive issue. I have a lot of trouble believing there is a 'thumbs down bandit' or anyone maliciously affecting with the popularity. I'm not sure who would have that sort of spare time or… -
Re: Canon 3Ti
Seeing as money is a premium, you may want to look at the Canon T2i. Pretty much the same camera without the flip out screen. I've had just about every rebel, (300, xt, xti, xsi, and now the T3i) and for bang for the buck, these little cameras are tough to beat. For the T2i body alone, on Amazon, the price is $499. There… -
Re: What gear would you bring...to Africa/Dubai
Canon has an 18-200 right? That might be your perfect do it all lens. But you don't own one. Of what you have I would go for the 16-35 and the 70-200. The 16-35 would be your walk around lens. For most situations walking around that wide angle will be really nice. The only thing that the 70-200 would really be needed for… -
Magic Lantern teaser; RAW/DNG silent video sequence from Canon 5D MKII/MKIII
The Magic Lantern folks have done it again. Some time ago the Magic Lantern firmware overlay software allowed some Canon cameras with video the ability to shoot HDR video, at half-frame-rate. This allowed more video dynamic range than any other consumer video system on the planet. But for a long time Canon users had to…
