Re: MM's and X zoom - part II.
I'm sorry for all the debate, (or whatever the word is I'm looking for), that I may have caused about all these zoom topics...lol Why do I want so much zoom?`Cos as a kid, I've had binoculars, some powerful, some normal, and I've also had a 200x telescope. Ever since then, I've been into zooming objects from far away. Now… -
Re: Anyone investing(ed) in property in Central America?
Ann, Investing in Foreign property isn't a bad idea. My wife and I bought a seaside apartment in the Algarve back when it was cheap to do so. It's not too difficult, at least in a popular tourist place like Portugal, to get somebody to manage it (a property rental management company) for 10-15%. If you choose your location… -
Re: Buying memory cards and batts
I started out using Lexar as they were the mostly higly visible in mag ads and such...then I grabbed a SanDisk and then a PQI (slow, slow, slow slow...) then I tried Transcend after a lot of research.....I have had failures withh all (except the PQI...I returned it to store for another Lexar).....anyway I printed off all… -
Re: beginner macro lenses
Welcome to Dgrin! And may I say you've found a downright wonderful place for exactly this kind of question! I spent so much time on my reply, Candid Arts has already summed up what I had to say nicely! But here's the long version: Since you say you've registered a few weeks ago, I'm guessing you've checked out some of the… -
Re: Sportsshooter Article re Free Shots
I guess I get a bit of gratification in hearing others complain about requests for something for free. This is something I've dealt with for at least 15 years as a snowboard manufacturer. I get hundreds of e-mails a year asking me to sponser, sponcer, sponcor (rarely sponsor) them because they can do some trick. My… -
Re: A Test: Flash Exposure Compensation w/ 9 Examples
This was a test of a number of different things:* Does my light meter "correctly" measure incident light. Or, put another way, does my camera agree with the light meter? * Can I manually set the camera to "correctly" expose the background? * To what do I set the FEC to "correctly" expose the subject with fill light? *… -
Re: Listing Prices on Your Website
I guess I go about this differently than most. I technically have 3 packages but they are all basically the same with a few features added. I only do full day because the chance of being able to competently juggle more than 1 event in a day is slim and since I don't hire out other photogs as primary's it isn't best in the… -
Re: Assistant with Flash and Softbox
Yeah... the flash holding assistant is getting to be a lost technique but it is still done. Less often done with manual strobes and more often with ETTL these days. the fact that she is primarily a studio shooter is very telling here as this is a similar technique to studio photography. Back in the day, when you were… -
Re: CRT vs. LCD Monitor
In all likelihood. Programs like Photoshop CS3/4 will allow you to embed a color space in an image. I have not used Elements in years so I'm not sure what options are available but it likely works in the sRGB space. Dark prints! :eek1 As colorbox stated, usually that results from editing images and adjusting levels by eye… -
Re: SmugMug Feature Requests #3
Single-page HTML Upload > if you have anything to add - I am all ears. How about just letting folks replace the home page with their own raw HTML, and letting folks upload additional HTML pages to be stored at URLs of their choosing? It's pretty easy to mimic the color scheme and layout of SmugMug-generated pages enough to…
