Re: Elivia Encore for Fans (she says "Hi")!
@ Hackbone, divamum & Rey Appreciate your input and encouragement! dm, re #1, I recognise what you are saying, and I'm somewhat on the fence about the processing. I do however like it's immediacy and touchability. For #1, 3 & 4 I had your own USA Norman Rockwell in mind!:D (But only for the painterly style and palette.)… -
Re: Got a sitemap question? Look here.
Good sir, I'm not arguing with you. I certainly believe (from seeing the lack of my own images in GIS) that RCP is definitely having a bad effect in GIS. I'm only saying that there was a time when we saw our RCPed images come back in full force in GIS. (& it may have been brief; I don't know) But that's why I'm asking… -
Re: Constant Lighting or Flash For Portraiture?
I use different approaches to lighting depending on the scene, the lighting intent, the time allowed and the overall "vision" for the shot. I tend to use monolight studio strobes when I have time, for the key and fill lights. These are almost always modified with softboxes, umbrellas (reflected or shoot-through) and/or… -
Re: Lighting Recommendations
I'm afraid that the best I can come up with are two recommendations: 1) Highly mobile, battery powered, some flash automation, optical technology. FL-600R Wireless Flash, can be used as a wireless master/controller or a wireless slave. http://www.adorama.com/IOMFL600R.html FL-50R Wireless Flash, can be used as a wireless… -
Re: Cheap lenses or a cheap body?
I switched from Canon to Nikon about 6 months ago. Sold my 5Dmk2/7D for D700 and a player to be named later (D800/D4 once I figure out which route I want to go). What got me over the hump on making the switch was ultimately the ergonomics of the body. I shoot manual most of the time now, and when I'm not, I'm shooting… -

Syncing IPTC data between SM and local files after uploading to SM?
I've been on the fence about subscribing to SM for about a year now and, after doing quite a bit of searching for info on my one last requirement, the only thread I can find that addresses my question is an old feature request entitled Feature Request: Ability to synchronize Captions. Basically, I'm looking for a way to… -
Final week photography course selection
Hi everyone. I havent posted here in a long time, I'd been struggling with my photography and my editing process and wasnt taking a lot of photos. Now however I'm trying to do what I can to move from hobbyist to paid photographer. I've had my D90 for 3-4 years now (just purchased a new Nikon 70-200 f2.8), I've taken photos… -
Virtual Gallery & Keywording Customization
Hi Everyone I'm undertaking a major redesign of my website and I'm giving serious consideration to making SmugMug an integral part of the site. I have some concept of the directions I wish to go but before I go down that path, I was hoping to get some feedback from the SmugMug community as to the feasibility and… -
Headshot Marathon, Day 2 (C&C)
Whoosh. Yesterday was the second session for the college acting students (first session thread here). There were 7 scheduled, but due to a snafu two turned up for the same time, meaning I did a total of 8 of 'em. I was absolutely fried by the end! Until the last half hr, it was much - MUCH - brighter than the previous…
