Re: Baseball Shoots - First Timer
First off, you're going to have trouble if 200mm is your longest lens. You need something in the 300-400mm range. 300mm barely gives acceptable corner-to-corner coverage. Positioning depends ENTIRELY on the type of shot you want. 1st base line gives you shots of left handed pitchers and right handed batters. Third baseline… -
Re: The Next Step (no pics, just unabashed advice sought)
...and so have roughly 100,000 other hobbyist photographers, in 2009. (Rumored statistic.) My point- Good luck with that! I don't mean to be negative, but realistic. Here's where the "realistic" needs to settle in. I'm sure you're just being light-hearted when you say "a bazillion weddings", but it still bears saying-… -
Re: HS Volleyball, looking for critique and guidance
Tim, Judging ONLY on these two photos and what you've stated about your equipment, here is my feedback: First, you DO need to improve your skillset. As you already noted, you need to increase your knowledge. But also need to keep practicing and keep seeking feedback. So posting some shots here is a great step. We can give… -
Re: Lab color adjustment -- am I getting ahead of myself?
I'm glad you are catching the LAB bug. Fun isn't it? That final version of you image really does pop. As for your question about using RGB curves in some cases, as I said before, every image has 10 channels. The good retoucher doesn't subscribe to any religiion that one colorspace is better than another. All have their… -
Re: Best camera & lens for $1700?
Meodina, DISCLAIMER!!!! PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE DO NOT LET MY FOLLOWING COMMENTS dampen your new found enthusiasm for photography, and God bless your supportive hubby. You have received great technical advice here from those with more experience than I, so I won't try and add to that. As I sit here (pressed for time, have… -
Re: Open letter to those "PayPal Fees Extra" people
I think right there is where you are going off-track. DGrin is predominantly peer-to-peer, individual photographers doing a little horse-trading. The fallacy in your opening statement is that folks advertise in the Horse Trading (I mean "Flea Market") forum as a business. In general, I do not believe that's the case --… -
Re: 2009 YIR, Blurb Books
Yes John, you said it well. However, there is one thing to watch out for if you do your own conversion from sRGB to CMYK, using Photoshop. Doing your own conversion doesn’t really eliminate the step, as I know you know, it simply transfers the step to you, which would be fine if PS did a good conversion, which it does not.… -
Re: Photos Out Of Focus
Hi Bob, I couldn't find my manual for the 580exII, so I went online and found it here -- http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/speedlite_flash_lineup/speedlite_580ex_ii#BrochuresAndManuals On page 26, it describes 2nd curtain synch. Here is that page..... Notice the little arrow-ish looking area that has… -
Re: Help
Well, only you can decide what your finances will handle. It sounds like you're in a bit of a camera crunch for sure. Not every one agrees with this, and I don't really like the idea, but when I got my camera, I made use of the Bill Me Later option through B&H. I knew I would have the funds before the six months of 0% were…
