Are you using Kodak's "Pro Color" profile... if so you should not have an issue.. You may want to ck with your book publisher... I have published 3 book's and no issues at all

One reason so many photographers went to Canon (film to digital) is that they had $$$$ invested in lenses and were able to use on digital bodies, not so much the case today .. Now to skin tones difference between Nikon & Canon is rubbish... it's all controlled in post production. One thing to consider is what camera your friends are using? Advantage ate, fast learning curve and the ability to exchange lenses within your group ...

Shooting RAW (100% Data) is like having a box of 300 color crayons & JPEG (Reduced Data) if having a box of 12 color crayons... Each time you work JPEG your will lose data, not so with RAW...

One thing that I do & it works well.. I offer a Friends Discount of 25%. This is the same discount that I offer to repeat buyers, Non-Profit clients or to a decor agent

I sell 13x19 prints on fine art paper unmounted and no matting for $135 ea... Don't sell you talents away... Set your price and stick with it

Here are a few...

My rule of thumb is when unsure of lighting conditions BRACKET your shots. Never hurts

I sign all my fine art prints. Why not it's your work !!!

Shutterbug.... Putting a C with a circle still is no protection from use by others... Photo's that I sell do not have anything on them stating copyright, just only my artist signature. However as I said early,,the best protection is to register with the copyright office.. it only cost $35 per filing NOT PER PHOTO !!! I don't recall if there is a max #. I have done 25 photos at one time.. That is $1.40 per photo.. Can't get any better protection...Other wise you would be spending $1,000's of dollars to prove damages in court. I been there

"Poor Man copyright" is a wast of time... offers no protection in court !!!!

Here is a case in point : I had someone use my photo to make a painting that sold for $3,000. However a good friend told me to register my works with the Copyright office a few yrs back. Since it was registered ($35) I was able to collect damages,legal and court costs. Advise take the time to register your work. With today's softwear watermarks can be removed easily so don't count any type of watermark for protection

Great capture... One never tires looking at it... It would be an OUTSTANDING 16x20 ...should win ton's of comments !!!!

I shoot RAW (nikon d300) and my card fills fast.. I suggest that after emptying the pics from your card is to reformat it simply to remove any misc info left on the card, thus a fresh one each time you shoot. You may want to ck out Perfect Resize 7 from Onone softwear The program will resize all the pixels upward for larger prints.

Great mid tones... make a copy and convert to B&W... play with the "structure" ... Should produce some outstanding results... As I see them in a 16x20+ glossy hanging somewhere that all can see your work !! keep it up...
