full frame or not full frame that is the question
i have a 450d canon and i have had it for a few years so thinking it might be nice to upgrade to a newer model. i am an amateur and dont really have any intention to try to become a professional, i just enjoy taking pictures of almost anything really. thinking it might be nice to have a little more iso to play with ocassioanlly.is there any real reason for me to even consider a f/f/ camera i appreciate that it would mean changing my lenses, well iam thinking about an upgrade there as well as i only have fairly basic.....but good ones at the moment.
just looking for a few thoughts and comments please,
thanks
Bill

picasa

I can't understand why folks want to email from Picasa. It is an editing programme.
If I email pic's I attach it to an email, from my pictures or where ever the pic is stored, & send it through my mail programme. Picasa only stores thumbnails of pic's.
Your actual photo file is in [My Pictures], in my case, not in Picasa. I open a pic in Picasa to edit, then save or save as to add a copy back to My pictures folder.
What's the problem??

as i said i like to view all my pics through picasa, not just edit them and its very easy whilst in that programme to email pics to friends and family, most of the time the quality of the image in these circumstances isnt too important, on this occassion it is, hence the question.

picasa
hi there i use picasa to view my photos and also email them to people occasionally as it has a very user friendly interface and is very easy to use, however i have to mail some pics for a competition and wondered if there would be any problem with the quality of the pics if i use picasa to mail them
thanks

setting the focal point for groups

I can think of several reason for using a tripod in this instance, firstly having set his composition and focused his camera he can take his eye away from the camera for a last look at the subjects or he may have used the live view feature. He may also have used a remote release so that he could watch his subjects as picture is taken. Captain C can probable supple several more reasons.

im not sure that is the reason, looking at the way the point about using the tripod was made, he says "of course i used a tripod" as if it were obvious why he used one, the reason for using one isnt obvious for me, just wondered.
thanks for the reply

Sure. 1/250.

Why? Because I want to kill as much ambient as possible. Before the crowd arrived, I took a shot without the strobe at the 1/250 and f/8 and got a virtual black frame. This way I know ALL the light is going to be mine.

As far as the exposure on the group goes, anything from around 1/60 (to stop people movement) and 1/250 (max sync for the strobes) would have worked.

Much less than a 1/60 and I would start getting ambient contamination - might even have had some at the 1/60.

i have a lot to learn, i dont understand why you would use a tripod at that shutter speed, unless it was a long lens which i doubt as it is a group shot.

printing problems
hi all,
i am sure this has come up before but i have tried to print a pic and its printing way darker than what i see on the screen, to the point where all detail is gone in some of the darker areas of the pic. is there a method for printing different areas of the pic with slightly different brightness etc levels all on one sheet, so that i can pic the settings i like and print with those settings
thanks

late night photo editing.

Hey fellow photographers. Feedback requested. I am running into the problem of staying awake on the computer when trying to edit photos and watch learning videos. I know the obvious coffe and 5hr energy. If this is a dumb question just ignore.

i have to say i totally agree, the amount of times i have sat down at the computer for 1/2 hour only to find that all the lights and the tv are off and my wife is in bed....and has been for some time its so addictive and to be honest time consuming

Enough, we have beaten this issue to death today. And, while we have accomplished nothing worth while, the poster who instigated this idiotic question in the first place has spent considerable time laughing his arse off at our bickering back and forth about how to be a successful and profit producing photographer. Enough humor for one day, eh?
Keep us posted and when you have deposited your first profitable check, let us know if you gained any worthwhile information from us idiotic UHHoggers' feeble attempts to get you up to speed and working full-time at your new profession.

I have a feeling most that ask the question "I got a camera, now how to I get clients?" have no idea what a PROFITABLE check is. I know when I started, I thought I was laughing all the way to the bank with my $100 sessions... well until I sat down with my accountant. Then I cried. Nothing like ending up in the hole and thinking you are a real business.

I'll gladly share information about starting a business and the COGs with any person who asks, I'll even break down how much those $50 sessions are actually costing you, but don't belittle the profession and talent it takes to run a business by asking (or imply) that you just got a camera and want to open a business right now. Take the time to learn what is involved, learn your camera, learn about lighting and exposure. What's the rush to turn professional? I can tell you it's not a road to riches, it's taken me three years to even draw small salary. I learned the hard way and if it wasn't for my accountant and photographer that took me under his wings to teach me how to run a business, I would have been like many other start up photography businesses, closed down within a year.

I don't want anyone to have to sell their camera and equipment because they thought this was an easy way to make money, I've seen many a photographer not only work themselves into the ground but lose their passion and love for the craft because they rushed into this.

You can hate me all you want and be offended all you want, but each time someone asks about starting a business the first questions from this forum should always be:

1. do you know your equipment?
2. has anyone besides your family and close friends told you that you should be in charging for your pictures?
3. when did you take up photography?
4. do you have a business plan? (I should have had one)
5. do you know what your COGs are?
6. do you know what you will be specializing in?
quote=Georgia Peddler Enough, we have beaten this... (show quote)


completely irrelevent because the op didnt ask for advice oin starting a business
