(General Chit-Chat (non-photography talk))

Only The Brits Can Do This....

Oh, surely you jest! It's clever, funny and true to the spirit of the Mini brand.

However, that video was patronizing and dumb.

Don't hate me. Its just my 5 cents opinion. !

Looking for a good Canon "people" lens

The majority of my work is in shooting people. I use the Canon EF-S18-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS. It rarely leaves my camera body. I used it for two weddings in 2012 - great results.

PC verses Mac

I use both and I can think of no reason to say that one is better than the other. But from a personal preference standpoint, I like the PC better. I found no advantage to using MAC for photo editing. Both systems do the job.

It is time for a new computer. I have a PC now, but have heard that Mac is much better for Photography Would like to hear from those that had experience on both systems. Pros cons. Thanks Richard

What would you Purchase for me?

I was sitting here trying to decide how to comment but Robert has put it so well. I'd only add that if I can get tack sharp photos with my Canon T3i then I could certainly get them with the 5D M2. My sister has one and her shots are awesome.

Best software for portraits.

Agree with everything here. You need Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro and Portrait Professional to "polish" your portraits.

Old Redeye wrote:

Portrait Professional is a relatively cheap, but very effective program. However, it ONLY adjusts faces. Lightroom, Photoshop and similar programs would also be useful for blemishes on other parts of the body and to do more extensive editing.
I use Photoshop and Portrait Professional 11 regularly and love them both. I just got Lightroom, as well

paint shop pro x-5

I've used PSP for years - recently got the latest version. There are good books available with complete details on how to use - you can also download a user's guide. I find the program to be really great - for most things I prefer PSP to Photoshop.

Making Photo Books

Try Blurb. You won't be disappointed. I've made three linen-bound books with upgraded paper - just beautiful.

I've made several photo books with Adorama, and I have some more in mind. They are having free online workshops about how to make those books. REservations required. They say they have limited space available, which I don't understand because they are online classes. Look for AdoramaPix on their site.

EDIT: Ok, I see that this is a webinar, where people can ask questions, so they would want to set some limits.

A Question about Printing.

Brokeweb, I always print my best photos on Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte - it's my absolute favourite. I recall that this paper used to be called Premium Photo Matte. Just because it doesn't have the word "photo" in its name doesn't mean it isn't photo paper. If you like it, stick with it.

Saving pictues or back-up while traveling

I use one of these Epsons as well - it's a good option and small enough to carry around. The thing is when you download your shots each night, you can dump any real duds then and there.

I use an Epson P-3000. It's a hard drive with a viewing screen. at the end of the day I slide my CF card into the slot and copy them into it. Then I erase my cards. When I get home I download all the files into my computer and external hard drives there. Never had any problems.

Photographer's Choice

I know - I'm the same. I'm just not shooting on a regular basis. I tend to need a particular reason for taking out the camera.

DebAnn: when I first came onto UHH, I thought the contests would be a great way to challenge myself: take a new photo, based on the theme. So far have been too lazy, and just go through what I already have :)

Photographer's Choice

I submitted a child's portrait because most of the work I do is people related. The open call allowed me to use one of my favourite pics. I like more open calls because more photographers will have something to enter.

Cleaning old slides?

I have a product called Anti-Stat Film Cleaner. On the bottle it says it's made by Brandess/Kalt/Aetna, 701 Corp. Woods Parkway, Vernon Hills, Illinois 60061. I've had it for a while but I imagine it's still available. You use it with a lint-free cloth.

I have some of my dad's old slides from back in the 50's and was trying to scan them but they have dust or mold or ??? spots on them.
Is there any way to clean the slides to get good scans?
Would it hurt to take a cotton swab and clean them?
I don't want to hurt them, but they need cleaned somehow...
Just need the best way to clean them.

affectations in photo terminology

Luckily, most copywriters have good editors!

I really like it, particularly how the owl stands out but still blends perfectly with the wild backgroud.

affectations in photo terminology

I don't think any photography-related words bother me but there is a new word that irritates me no end. I sew, so I used to be called a sewer - a perfectly good word. But the larger sewing community decided the word would be confused with the place where nasty waste goes and someone might be offended. So some bright spark decided the word should be changed to sewist. It clearly never occurred to them that used in context, there would never be confusion. I'm a copywriter by profession so this change appears totally rediculous to me.
