Re: Memory card "safety" and rotation...
Currently using 4Gb and 8Gb cards, all high-end/name-brand. Looking to upgrade with several 16Gb cards and leaving the older ones in the backup cameras. I don't have *old* and *new* piles because I tend to buy new cards about every 18 months and so far I've been giving the old ones away to hobby shooters I've shot with… -
Re: Gadget Bag Advice
I have the Lowepro 3 AW. I ALWAYS carry my D50 w/ the 18-55 lens and the 70-300mm f/4-5.6. There is plenty of room for another small lens (the same size or smaller than the 70-300mm. The back zipper can easily fit 5-6 CDs the side mesh pockets can fit smaller water bottles (or if you don't have a 3rd or 4th lens you could… -
Re: A fear of high ISO...
Thanks, and another thing... Thank you for the encouragement and the samples! I do have a 50mm f/1.7 that I have not used very much. Today I pulled it out and played a bit. I realized that I should have been giving that lens a try for some indoor portrait type shots I've been doing lately (for friends' Christmas cards).… -
Re: SLR vs P&S?
Hello and welcome cm5299, You have gotten some very good advice up above there, but I'll add my standard reply to the "Is a DSLR right for me?" type of question that you opened with. In short- If you have to ask-then NO a DSLR is not for you! Short? Maybe... Rude? Well, not really. Think about it this way... There are… -
Re: Question
I don't know how you have your galleries set up, but I believe both of those options are available through SmugMug from the Bay Photo lab option. I only see the canvas option available through EZPrints; I think they do not offer watercolor. I just bought a Giclee watercolor print (large-- 18 X24") of one of my photos from… -
Re: Pros and cons of photography as a career (your experiences)
I've had a near record month of work. So busy that I've been away from the forums for a couple weeks. Its getting there... My work is going well but I still maintain a small, highly-flexible P/T job to insure the bills get paid. I fully expect to continue to pour 90-100% of my photo income back into the business. More… -

Re: Motorcycle Supercross at Indy?
Not a problem in Indy. I go every couple years. The best way to get good shots is to go to the afternoon practice session. The crowd is small, and you can move around to shoot from different locations. This is the afternoon schedule; Saturday 11:00 am - 11:30 am - Rider's Track Walk 11:30 am – 11:45 pm - Riders Meeting… -
Re: Tribute in Light - a first look
Great photo, Shay. After seeing your self portrait (s), I expect no less than great all the time now! :D Not that I didn't before. I just have to respond to this re exposure, contrast, etc. I just happened to run into a clear morning at the wildlife preserve on Sat. Only other person, besides bird expert, was a… -
Re: What if SmugMug sponsored a camera kit?
Hmmm, I'll see your leapord and raise you a tiger. Taken with a lowly 8MP rebel XT by a second year newbie with a relatively cheap for a supertelephto Sigma 50-500mm. The idea interests me, but sending a top end gear to a good shooter will generally produce good results. But posting small images on the web may not be the…
