North Carolina Coastal Christmas
I've just returned from a fantastic weekend spent in the Beaufort area of eastern N. Carolina. A wonderful weekend it was, I've been working rather hard the last few months and the time off was just the ticket to get the body clock back in sync. My family has a beach house located off the beaten path in a rather rustic… -
Did someone say Lundy? + other fall colors
Ran up to the E. Sierra quickly last weekend, squeezed in the some photography in the afternoons. As Stumblebum has already mentioned, not a cloud in sight on Saturday, also, there was a subtle haze, needed a good fall storm to clear out the aerosols, but that wasn't happening. Drove up Friday night, and should have… -
Smuggy falls into a volcano
... or the less dramatic title, "SmugMug's 2011 Trip to Yellowstone and Tetons NP." :lol3 Once a year (roughly) we all try to get away, work from someplace pretty and get face time with our coworkers who don't live anywhere near California. This year we set up shop in Jackson, WY which to some folks meant alpine slides,… -
Common question, uncommon situation
I've been lurking here for a while, and just joined today. I really enjoy the atmosphere here and look forward to participating in the future. My question is in regards to starting up a part-time photo business without a studio. I have been reading everything I can find regarding small businesses in general and photography… -
CFA Football Game
I had the opportunity to shoot a CFA (California Football Alliance) league football game. OK... so first of all, I want to go on record with the fact I have never shot a sports event. Ever. I was kind of out of my comfort zone with this. I shoot other stuff so I know my way around a camera but this was very different than… -
Fall Road Trip (CA Hwy 1)
Been lurking and posting in some of the challenges for a few weeks. This is my first foray into the Shots > Journeys forum. I'm a hobbyist (my wife would say obsessive hobbyist) with a day job in public education. Been shooting since I got a Minolta SRT-101 for Christmas in 1972. Even had a real darkroom in the garage that… -
Tough wedding (2nd wedding share) lots of images
Beautiful bride, handsome groom. No time for pictures and it was really dark. This was an outdoor wedding on the water but the sun doesn't set slowly. I think the other photographer and I had about 3 mins for bride/groom pictures after the ceremony. We had about 10 minutes for her entire family and her bridesmaid. Remember… -
I could use some recommendations
Hello all. I have a Dell 17" wide-screen laptop--probably one of the first of it's kind--6 years old, at least. I did have the foresight to upgrade it to 2 GB of ram, but it has a Penium 2 processor, and and 80 gb HDD. And, because i didn't know any better, I have gone through 2 batteries, although because of the recall a… -

Re: Help me get the color right
This is a surprisingly difficult image. Each of the four subjects have different skin tones and they don't all like to be treated alike. The boy's face badly needs to be reconstructed and in fact they can all use more facial detail. Getting this back without leaving artifacts is challenging. Here is my attempt: Original…
