Re: Why are there significantly more Canon posts than Nikon
It is a complete toss-up as long as you are not a pro Nikon = truly outstanding "kit" lenses. Exhbit #1: the 18-70, which can be had for under $200 used. The 18-200VR sells used under $600. I just saw an 18-55VR go for $140. Canon has improved their kit lenses, but som of them are still nothing to write home about. Canon =… -
Re: What's your story?
Born in England, my father was an advanced amatuer with pictures in magazines and shows. First camera was a Brownie and when I was 10 my Dad gave me a Retina 35mm and a handheld meter. We moved to Turkey at that time and I used the camera as much as I could. Dad taught me about focus and light and f-stops and hyperfocal… -
Re: Time For Another Beating
John, others have said it above, but I'll chime in (always a glutton for punishment, and I have a few minutes over my breakfast coffee). Yes, SOMETIMES a background can be interesting. If you've whisked your model off to the Taj Mahal, or the Eiffel Tower, or some unbelievable tropical location, of course you want to make… -

GEAR: Canon 50mm f/1.2L
[imgr]http://dgrin.smugmug.com/photos/115623764_ZovKU-S.jpg[/imgr]Canon 50mm f/1.2L Review by Andy. Summary: Solid build, excellent mechanics, operation, feel, balance.

Re: Site Speed???
Slow for me as well I just signed up to smugmug on Friday and I'm noticing it is very slow as well. I have been trying to configure my site all weekend and it has been very frustrating with poor page loads and timeouts. My site location is http://macmoov.smugmug.com/ Here is my speed test.

Re: Not happy with resized Image Quality, what can we do?
Another Compression Example | Pros need a lower compression option I started off with Smugmug (after some homerolled weblog/javascript popup solutions). I wasn't happy with how the images looked compressed and have been thinking about cancelling my account. Basically I'm a candidate for pro or no. I also think that there… -
Re: Option to disable the iphone 'backdoor'?
Oh my... I wish I would not have been surfing tonight - honestly. Frankly, I'm a tad upset. I used to work in the IT business while ago (another life ;) )... I'm also a bit paranoid when it comes to general data related security and stuff like this... I wouldn't call me over-the-top-paranoid,... but maybe a bit... My IT… -
Re: C & C Please First Engagement Shoot
Don't quit! Oh man, when I look back at some of my beginning photos I cringe big time. Everyone starts somewhere and everyone should always be improving (even people at the pinnacle of their photography career). A critique can sting sometimes (I've definitely felt it myself on occasion), but the fact that several took the… -
Re: Help!Event photog soccer tournament
Okay, I am more awake now (only slightly - too many interruptions to call it a good night sleep). I started this little journey by deciding I wanted to have a digital camera to take photos of my kids playing soccer. That little decision grew into a monster obsession with photography and a real desire to get good at it. The…
