What make and model camera did you use and what kind of lens?

Sounds like you bought yourself and $80 education. For future reference. Before you go off half-cocked thinking you might get the deal of a lifetime, run the name of the company, website and email address, and if aplicable phone numbers through the FTC, Better Business Bureau, and Ripoff Report before making any purchasing decisions.

I recently acquired two wide angle lenses, A Canon 28 - 80mm and a Tamron 18 - 11mm. They're both great when I'm shooting indoors or outdoor close-up work. But I have a passion for scenic landscapes. The problem that I have when I'm shooting mountains, rivers, and etc. the subject composition looks great. But the sky is from hunger! On a clear day 2/3 of the sky looks good except for the rest of the photo there are big whit blotches and the clouds don't have any definition. they're all flat! I've been racking my brain trying to find a way to correct this on Photoshop and I always hit a dead end. I'm open to any ideas that you might have.

Before you go and get your camera repaired at a Nikon repair center, you know they'll charge you an arm and a leg. When my equipment needs repair I have a very reliable repairman/photographer who does an outstanding job and his prices are reasonable. And the quality of his work is so good that it's worth the two-hundred mile drive to his shop to get the work done. So, before you send the camera off to Nikon Repair Check around in your area for DSLR camera/computer repair. Check them out and if they seem reasonable check them out with the BBB and you might wind up saving a lot of money.

When I develop my photos I like to have them in proximity of 5000 pixels x 1700 pixels, (rule of thirds). But often I will develop a photo and pat myself on the back for the good job that I've done. only to find that the photo is too small. I get angry with myself because I'd never do a shot that small and when I try to enlarge it, it gets to grainy. And there are other times when I develop a shot and it turns out to be just the size I want it to be. What's going on?

When I first started shooting via DSLR, cameras weren't as sophisticated as they are today. So, I started developing my shots with Picasa. And then I bought a better camera and I used Lightroom and used it for a long time. Then a bought an even better and used Photoshop, which I still do. Since then Adobe has done a few upgrades on Lightroom. And to go back there I find it very confusing. All that I can find is "Quick Develop" which is nothing more than a glorified version of Picasa. I know that Lightroom has more to offer than that. I just don't know how to get there.

What is ACR? And how do I set the output image size?

Whenever I develop a photo in Photoshop the images come out too small, (1000 to 3000 pixels). Some of my shots get rejected by my clients for being too small. When I develop them I don't do anything to resize them but when I check the size when I'm finished I'll ad more pixels to enlarge them to 3500 to 5000+ pixels. I use very high quality cameras, so that's not the issue. And I'm afraid that by manually enlarging the images the will come out distorted. Where am I going wrong?

I am a real estate photographer. Like all advertising, the images have to be larger than life. That's why I had to invest a lot of money in wide angle lenses.

When I first started shooting digital eight years ago I started with Picasa. I don't know if its improved since then, but as my skills increased I found that it was OK for beginners. eventually I needed a photo processing system that was more sophisticated.

I see this ad online continually for Great Escapes Publishing. They're looking for photographers to sell their photos. I looked at their video. Does anybody know about this company?

If I make a purchase online, no matter how big or small, unless its a well known company, I always check it out. First I contact the Better Business Bureau. And then I look of ripoffreport.com I especially contact Ripoff Report. If the business you're investigating is a shady company you'll find a long list of complaints. This way you'll know in advance the integrity of the business you'll be dealing with.

I have two lenses that are giving me problems on my Canon EOS 6D. The first one is a Canon EF 28-80mm 1: 3.5-5.6 IV This lens works fine on my Canon EOS 7D but when I use it on my EOS 6D and open it up to a full landscape I get a lot of vignetting on the corners of the frame. So, I have to turn it in at least a quarter of the way. And it doesn't give me that problem on my EOS 6D. I also have a Sigma Zoom 18-50mm 1:3.5-5.6DC /0 58. This one, when I open it up at full landscape it vignette's to a full circle on the screen. Both lenses have a red dot on the mount which indicates that it's compatible with a full frame camera. And both lense fit on my EOS D7. What seems to be the problem and what can I do if anything to fix it?

If you want to get some good panoramic shots of the San Francisco skyline, (ANYTIME OF DAY OR NIGHT), go to the top of Mt. Davidson. You can't miss it. Its the one with the big cross on top. You will get some beautiful vistas for the San Francisco skyline which includes both the Golden Gate bridge and the Bay bridge. In between you'll get the embarcadero and the financial district. You'll get some shots that are fit for a picture post card.
