Praise for the Smugmug Team
:clap Just wanted to share my experience today and extend a big public thank you to John & the entire smugmug team. I spent allmost 2 hours entering a rather strange order today. A friend/customer sent me a hand written order (photo filenames with a total of 95 photos). She is terrified to order anything on-line as are… -
Advise needed for Mid $$ 400-500mm
It's time to start saving for some reach power! :D What is the best reasonable priced glass to get? What will it be for? Wildlife 95% of the time. So far I've been checking out the following: SIGMA 170-500mm TOKINA 80-400mm SIGMA 400mm AF APO TELE-MACRO At one time I had thought about a 50-500mm BIGMA but all that weight… -
Anonymously embedding a gallery?
Hi, while working for an enterprise, I also own a photo studio - kind of a hobby, you know :-) Our studio was allowed to shoot our company anniversary party. We created few galleries and then the company wanted to show the party photos to its employees. Well, as a head of IT, I am really disappointed to state, that the… -
Curse you Nikon (for tempting me)
Ok, I bet I have spent 50+ hours on the net researching my first dSLR/lens/flash combination purchase(95% of shots will be insect macros) . Initially, something convinced me to go Canon and that is where my research has been focused. Thus, I had decided on: 20d 100mm Canon Macro lens (spent much research here...seemed a… -
C&C for hockey, please?
Hello, I am fairly new to the Dgrin forum , and have been following some threads with interest. Lots of great information and sharing. Realizing that I am a total amateur who is trying to learn as much as she can on her own, would anyone be willing to give me some tips about getting the most out of my equipment for minor… -
Re: pro-pricing: discount rates?
solution for event photographers At the risk of getting flamed, I solved this by starting to offer my event photos on another service that DOES all of the things we event photographers have been asking for from Smugmug. I'm *amazed* at the increase in sales I've experienced due to these new features. What are these new… -
Re: Yay: First published pic. Boo: Stolen from my site
I have been reading this for a few days, and I guess I am forced to post again. First: Repeat after me "copyright infringement is not theft", "copyright infringement is not theft", "copyright infringement is not theft", "copyright infringement is copyright infringement". Basically there are two approaches you can take… -
Re: Lady Liberty and The Castle
I'm going to be picky so put your thick skin on! First impressions, both are overprocessed. Contrast IMO is too high on #1. Unless you're going for "surreal" (which is fine) then it's too much. The vignette on #2 is uneven, the top right is distracting unless you can match it on the top left. Composition-wise, the boat… -

Re: Digital ESP metering ESP, Center weighted averaging metering, Spot metering
The last time I used center weighted was back in '92 when I was shooting with a Nikon FA. The FA only had center weighted metering! A shot like this might be a good candidate for center weighted: Late afternoon light coming through trees. With center weighted the metering would come up with a good exposure for the…
