Re: Shooting Hockey
It really depends on the lighting in the arena. I shoot for an AHL team (one step below NHL) The Rockford IceHogs (Chicago Blackhawks affiliate), and we have the worst lighting of all AHL arenas (or so I have been told by the visiting team photogs). With my 7D/70-200 2.8IS combo I'm shooting at roughly 2000-2500 ISO, 1/500… -
Re: API & Comments
For reading, it's easy. Use the RSS feed: http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Feeds+Examples http://api.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=usercomments&Data=YOURNAME&format=rss200" You can probably even add ImageCount=xx to get more.... Well, that's the recent comments, not for a given photo. I suppose you could monitor the… -
Re: How to tell if you are a photography addict:
Got some, You cringe when you see someone trying to take a portriat of a friend against a sunset, with a P&S and without a fill light. You chuckle to yourself when you hear them get upset with the camera for not resolving the people. You actually step in and give them a 5-min lecture on lighting. Your SO pickes on your… -
Re: Listing Prices on Your Website
Personally, I do list all my package prices on my website. I look at it from the client's point of view - yes, I want to get the best photographer - but he/she must be in my price range. It doesn't matter how great he/she is in person if the package I want is two thousand dollars more than I can afford. Also, I definitely… -
What are your packages?
I'm thinking about creating some wedding packages versus just charging a certain amount for so many hours and offering additional hours at a per hour rate. I'm thinking of doing a half day price and a full day price. My question to you guys is this. Do you offer a DVD of all the photos for an additional price on top of… -
Don't Forget to DUCK -part 1
Hi Everyone, I haven't posted for a while. I took some time off for Thanksgiving with family back east (sans camera) as well as the Mark III fix, some holiday chores, etc. I have a small backup of photos to process so I thought I would start putting some up for comment. I have accumulated a lot of nice shots of various… -
Re: Why not block images from API if right-click turned on?
I disagree. Right-click is downright stupid protection. It's a very, very mild deterrent. It can be bypassed by almost any teenager in seconds. It can be bypassed at all times with a simple screenshot. If the API were crippled when right-click protection was enabled, then lots and lots of apps built on the Smugmug API… -
Re: 17-85mm IS USM vs 18-55mm IS vs other wide-angle option
If you really do want a wide angle lens, I think you will find that the 18-55 is just not wide enough. I recently picked up a Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 and I love it. I picked mine up for $407 before tax from Canoga Camera (www.canogacamera.com), a very reputable camera shop. I remember the Canon mount being a bit more for some… -
Re: Color text in text box
I use HTML blocks for my text fields. I do this so I can also use CSS in the same block if I ever need to. For instance, if I want bullet points I need to add CSS to create them. Anyway, while the body text is as I specify in my theme, I create different colored titles using HTML. This piece of code is what I use. You'll… -
Re: Am I the only one excited for the Nikon DF camera?
It is interesting how some people want more megapixels and some do not want more than XX megapixels. 16mp is perfect for me, smaller raw file sizes. Yeah hard drives are getting cheaper, but I hate to keep buying them. The biggest appeal to me is the non-AI lenses, some good ones are selling for so cheap; very few even…
