Try Farm Bureau Insurance, I changed to them last year and saved about $300 a year (I also have liability coverage). It is their Guardian policy.

Is your image in RGB or Grayscale. I have had some Epson problems in the past with a similar situation. Also if you can select to print with just the black cartridge instead of blending the black with other colors.

A great book is The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Book by Martin Evening from Adobe Press. I Picked it up at Barnes & Noble.
Another good resource is NAPP, National Association of Photoshop Professionals (photoshopuser.com) For only $99 a year you get Photoshop User magazine monthly which has Photoshop & Lightroom tips and techniques. The site itself is fantastic with all kinds of tips, tutorials, and downloads as well as member discounts. The Help Desk is FANTASTIC! If you ask them a question you will have an answer back within 24 hours. If you use Photoshop or Lightroom it will be the best $99 you spend!

Sorry, but I'm not one for generic equipment. OEM does cost a little more but I think you would be happier with better performance. You know for sure you equipment "talks" to each other properly and when you want to take that next step with remotes for that camera and flash you won't have to be buying that new flash to make it work properly.

I know a lot of people mention about going less expensive. Think about where you want to go with your photography. Less expensive is fine if that's what you can afford or if you're not worried about moving "To The Next Level".
I found out the hard way that it costs a lot more to go less expensive then spending more later to get the gear you you need because the less expensive stuff wouldn't do what you needed. Save a little then get the "good stuff"
-The Up angle shot, have her tilt her head down to look towards the camera.
-A tripod is a bit to lug around but have found a flash bracket comes in handy, gets rid of red eye and if your subject is near a wall or solid background it lowers the shadow behind them.

As Frank said. You can process in LightRoom and if you want to edit in PS just click on phot, edit in, Photoshop to open and edit in Photoshop. When you finish in Photoshop hit save and close and it will go back to LightRoom as a TIFF stacked with your original. Cool Stuff!

As I stated in the original post, put white cardboard on one side....White for sunlight, silver for overcast.
They are freestanding (when hinged together) and can be separated for two reflectors, and the wooden dowel can be used can be used as a brace for a side or a impromptu monopod :}
They work great as a foot light to kick some light under the shade tree.
Oh...didn't take a picture of the drawing, scanned it!

There are a few great places to get used gear that is reliable.
usedcameras.com they sell bodies, lenses, etc.
lensprotogo.com sells their lenses after a few rentals and they maintain their gear in great shape.

With today's budgets and cost of equipment I thought I would pass this along. At a seminar I saw this home made reflector that the photographer had made and he uses several on location.

It is made of 4x8 insulation foam board you can find at Home Depot or Lowes. Make sure you get the kind that is silver coated.
Cut the board in half so you have 2 4x4 sheets.
On one side of each half glue on some white cardboard.
Make a few "Hinges" out of nylon strap or rope and attach a equal number on each half of the foam, make sure the are offset from the opposite board.
With the white sides (or silver) together slide a 4 1/2 foot wooden dowel through your hinges.
You now have a light weight / portable reflector!

Sorry about the poor quality of the drawing, I'm a photographer not an architect!

Eyes are too dark! Use a reflector or fill flash. Also I found when you do a B&W with a color tint, don't go full color ie: like Tennessee, it tends to draw your eyes to the color. Try using about only 30%

It doesn't seem like a very "Fast" lens for fast moving wildlife.
