Re: Baja Mexico / Dust
You do not have to go to Mexico for dust. I have found some occasionally in Arizona as well. Having spent several months in the deserts in Utah and New Mexico, I am aware that dust can be a real concern. If your vehicle is capable of being kept closed with the AC on, that is preferable to an open vehicle. Do you have a… -
Re: Would the finalists like to share?
Thanks for asking. Since I am all for learning, I going to explain "rail meat" from concept to final image. Even posting this is an exercise in learning for me personally. I knew that Swiftsure, (the sailing race) was coming and I had been invited to go out on a shoot with my friend and fellow photographer, it just… -
Re: Camera's, rain and models...
Brian, The whole idea is to have complete control of your lighting hence the use of totally manual flash as well as camera settings. After meeting Scott Robert Lim I decided that I wanted that kind of control too. He uses inexpensive flashguns and radio triggers to create light that either augments or totally modifies the… -
Re: Using Black and White film digitally
I turned in the negatives but it will take them about 2 days to scan them in. Im also a bit concerned about the quality level but we'll see. I'd hate to jump to conclusions without seeing the result. I may be mistaken. I'm trying to merge the film in with digital if possible. I'm willing to spend a buck a roll on the film,… -
Re: A Baby Session
Thanks Diva, BradfordBenn and Surfdog for your comments. Diva I appreciate your kind words about my progress. Some days I feel I have learned so much and other days I feel swamped by all the technique left to learn! I'm feeling SO limited these days by my equipment (Rebel and nifty 1.8) but still chugging along. I just… -
Re: Purchasing from an event photographer
Oh no, I'd never do that! I'm not in the Army and never have been. Spot on, they are JPEGS. I doubt they are compelled to give any back in this instance. I think they are doing it more out of their own free will because it is a good cause (helping the injured soldiers coming back from Iraq etc). Very true, but it just… -
Re: How to do AF Microadjustment (50D)
Update: Tools I'm using now The following is intended as an update to the information in the originating post. First, I was having problems with reproducability using the technique outlined in the first post; the adjustment factors were moving all over the available range. OK, maybe that's a little strong, but they were… -

Re: Wooo Hoooo!!! Sold my first print!!!!
Just another happy SmugMugger reporting in. I joined SmugMug several months ago as just a relatively secure online storage area for some work as I ventured back into photography after a ten year absence. Trying to learn digital and digital post-processing, and find it difficult but oddly rewarding. Sure beats the smell of… -
Re: Bermuda
Thanks so much Ann and Tiffany. Let me see what I can do here Ann, I had never posted an image to the forum before so had to do some quick reading to see how this all works. :D First some history, I am a Canadian but I spend at least a month each year in Bermuda. It all started in the early 90's when I was stationed here…
