ProShow Producer is a wonderful slideshow program. It does have a bit of a learning curve but it's not that difficult once you get the hang of It. It Is easy to make adjustments to Individual slides or apply changes to the whole show once the wizard has done Its thing. You can also create your own themes for the wizard to apply to your images.
Center spot and back button focus. Hard to beat. Pick the point of focus you want and then re-compose your shot without worrying about any delay while the camera tries to refocus. Moving objects, just go to servo mode (with Canons) and hold the BBF until you're ready to fire.
Stay away from 42nd St. You can search and find many bad experiences with them here on UHH.

Good to know because Grand Teton is definately in the plan and having been a wedding photographer for over 25 years now, I will definately have plenty of backup memory and power!
Great shot! I'm going there for the first time ever in September, can't wait!
Absolutely true, exposing correctly to start does trump all, but even Ansel Adams knew you can't always get all areas of an image exposed correctly in-camera. With his incredible Zone System he "exposed for the shadows and developed (modern day post processing) for the highlights." He did pretty well with that and it still holds true in todays digital world.
www.jimrushphotography.com Always looking for creative inspiration as well! Love to see the fruits of those that labor at this as a passion.
Do yourself a HUGE favor and don't use the neck strap that came with the camera. Get yourself a slingstrap, I have a Black Rapid Sport that I just love, and alot of the regulars here on UHH like the Op-techs. No neck pain or fatigue whatsoever even carrying a heavier camera all day long. I'm with you, I like having a little heft to the camera also, but it gets tiring real fast when you're on a long shoot, for fun or profit. Believe me, you will NEVER regret getting one of these.

P.S. Also just having the subject tilt their chin down a bit until you see the reflection disappear will also work, provided that doesn't give them the dreaded "turkey neck"!
A couple of tips for dealing with glasses that I learned from an excellent portrait photographer many years ago - have the subject tilt the bows of their glasses up off their ears just a touch and the reflection will be angled down and not straight back at you. This works great when you're doing portraits on the run such as at weddings, etc. Another option, if you have a little more time, is to have some frames on hand that do not have lenses in them and let them wear those just for the shoot, after all, they don't need to see clearly at that time, you do. Have fun!
As they say, "It's better to be lucky than good" but I have found that often luck is simply experience running face first into opportunity.
