Hello all; As I have been tested and it has been determined that I am "Color-Blind" respecting "Reds", "Greens", & "Browns", so what I see is not what other's see. But I want to ask those of you who are Photographer's and NOT Color Blind, am I wasting my time in Photography?
Especially when it comes to "Post-Processing" my images?
Your kind but genuine Thoughts and opinions will certainly be appreciated.
I certainly DO love Photography.

I realized that I haven't had much time for photography lately. Between the arrival of winter and the arrival of the holidays, I barely have a free moment. I like to drive for 30 - 60 minutes and then walk around taking pictures. With all the seasonal chores, holiday celebrations, and get-togethers, I haven't been able to do that. I'm free for the rest of today and tomorrow, so I can get things done around the house, but on Wednesday, more activities kick in. I guess it's better than having nothing at all to do.

Have any of you noticed a decrease in you photo time?

Okay that helps try shooting at ISO 100 and adjust your shutter speed accordingly probably at 60th of a second. That should soften her face some on with the more ambient light also don't be afraid to leave some room around her for necessary cropping besides if you get a really good one you're going to want to probably print it and if you print an 8 by 10 you going to lose some on both sides. When cropping leave a little room at the bottom but don't cut into the hands or bear arms try to bring that crap line at the bottom between joints if you going to cut the hands off or above the elbow without showing the elbow.

Just got back from a 2 week vaca and I now have 4 batteries that show in the charger as fully charged but when they go in the camera, 2 show as ready to die and the other 2 just show an empty square. The batteries in question are for a Canon 50D and rated at 2,000 mah. Has anyone else run into this dilemma? and better yet, figured out a way to revive them?

Out of all the batteries I have, different manufacturers, ratings etc. these 4 are all from the same "brand less" manufacturer and same 2,000 mah rating. Yes, I know I am going to have to replace them but I have several that are older with a power rating less than 2,000 and still going like the Energizer bunny, so I'll be on the look out for this "brand less" version when I pull the trigger.
