Re: Need some advice
Ok, let me see if I can add to the great advice you have already received. You can use the crop tool without any criteria typed and use it as a free hand crop. This way you can set the height and width independently to accommodate the subject in your photo. You already know how to set the criteria for a desired aspect… -
Re: My first studio portrait session
Thanks for the kind words. There are problems with the images that I will improve with my next client, but ...* Background - flat gray paint on wall.

Re: Nikon D90 vs. Nikon D300 and D300s
I have a D90 and a D300. I much prefer the D300, as angevin1 said, it's a feel thing. I just prefer the feel of the larger camera. The controls fit my hands better on the D300.
