Ok refined question, what is the best tool to extract this dog from this bacground.

I think this extraction is fantastic and only a photographer would pick out a halo. I also agree with others that 1) for your purposes a little halo just shows what a great animal is being pictured, 2) shoot it right the first time with the right background, but most importantly 3) your actions are admirable.

I always get so much information from this site and the questions. What's with the owl? Rescue also? It looks so sad. Maybe because it is awake during the bright daylight. I'm going to go try extracting an object and inserting it somewhere else. Thanks everyone!

Setting up a photography website

I am using SmugMug and have found the staff to be very helpful with all my questions. I am not a pro but decided that Pro status would allow people to purchase online and I would not have to have such a large inventory or mess with shipping large items.

You can set your prices above their basic price. That took a little time. SmugMug offers other perks that will dress your site to look more professional. I haven't gone down that road yet.

Apparently you've already researched SmugMug, but here's my site and I know very little about setting up websites! http://paulasphotography.smugmug.com/

Good Luck. I do know your friends and potential clients will appreciate being able to look at your work.

I am considering setting up a new photography website using Smugmug and a domain name through GoDaddy. I am looking at the Smugmug Pro account at $150 per year and $9.95 per year for the domain name. I am curious if any UHH members are using Smugmug Pro and how successful have you been. Pros and cons? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you. Neither sound wins a grammy! . I thought I had been through all the Youtubes concerning the shutter/mirror sounds.

I guess I'll just have to get used to it. I did a lot of research before I decided on 60D and from all the comments I don't think I made the wrong decision for my pocket book.

Thanks I'll check this later. Several people have suggested "mirror" noise and not shutter.

thank you Reinr, jerryc41,al_davis, Ziza, Bangee5, Bill41, rpavich, and les_stockton.

I'm going to let this one rest. A "klunker" it is but you'd think Canon would lessen the noise. I'll scare all the wildlife away with my first "klunk"

thanks everyone!

I noticed the same thing when i got my 5D mark II...the shutter sound is definitely like a klunk.

Previously I had a T2i.

It's just different.

Thanks again. I don't know how I ever got along without UHH. Everyone is great. I guess I'll keep playing with it. It's only been 3 days!

Thanks I have a good camera repair business that I trust and will probably do that. I could just take lots of photos till the new klunk becomes an old familiar sound!

I've been playing with my new 60D and notice that the sound of taking the photo (shutter sound) is more like a klunk rather than a click! Very much like a very slow shutter speed. Since the XTi is my only other experience with DSLR I'm wondering if this is normal. I would expect the sound to be less. (I thought I posted this question last night but cannot find it in the forum)

60D sounds

This is going to sound dumb but my new 60D "klunks" instead of "clicks". It's almost like a very slow shutter speed. Definitely different than my old XTi. Any thoughts? thanks

Aughhhhhhhh another spec to research. Gone are the days of buying the throw-away camera! I can hardly wait to buy the sd or sdhc or sdxc card and try out my new toy!

I just opened my "present' and the battery is 7.2 volt and 1800 mAh. So far I haven't read any cautions. Thanks for the info. Does Bugs Bunny ever get tired od the soft shoe?

I want an extra battery for my new 60 D (to arrive today!) The LP-E6 comes in so many "sizes" from 7.2 to 7.4 volt, 1400 to 2600 mAh. What are the cautions? Is bigger better?

Also I just read about charging batteries and that was good info from everyone.
Thanks again.

Hey Doc ..... 7.2 or 7.4 doesn't matter ..... the mAh do. This is like the fuel tank in your car ..... the higher the mAh the longer you can keep taking pictures.

Thanks. Guess I'm not much for patience. All batteries that I have looked at say "for Canon 60D" as well as other Canons.

I would wait and read what the manual says before you go buy something you can't use. It is hard to say what the hardware in the cameras can take now days.
