You start with 2GB and if you share yr folders with others and they download the app, you rcve bonus free space. Im up to 4G now and have to rotate my images in/out to stay within the free space limit.

Im sorry some choose to be rude rather than encouraging you. I do like the transition of color, however, I personally would add some small subject to draw your eyes to a focal point. I gravitate to using negative space in my images with a single subject for interest. Just my style...so you couldve added a person, animal, tree as the focal point. Now if yr working in Ps/PSE, you could easily copy and paste a subject!

I use dropbox for sharing files with others and I use mpix.com for printing. My jpegs are min 7mb up to 13. It takes a while to uploaf even with broadband.

Ive got a 60D and mount a 430 ex ii. I find its powerful enough if there arent very high ceilings indoors. The 580 ex is the flashgun of choice for wedding photogs.

Once you have downloaded dropbox app to yr computer, there is an arrow at the top of the page (after opening the newly installed app) allowing you to upload. On the panel to the left, you can setup your folders and sharing of them.

I used to live in a summer carriage house where the spiders were huge! I found that aeresol hairspray stops them in their tracks! Stiffens those buggers right up!

Go to www.mcpactions.com and the fb group link is there.

Wow! Usually all the star images have black backgrounds. This colorful backdrop is lovely.

As others have expressed, the high/low key photograph is a preference. I'm on a fb photog group where most are family/portrait photogs. They post before and afters where you can see the lighting or colors or composition is off. They use pp software to get the look like the one in your photo. They try to get a properly exposed image SOOC and then embellish it.

So my advice is to not set unrealistic expectations of your camera. Google before/after photographic images to see what I mean. I believe photography is not just capturing the image, but also the art of embellishing it as well.

Ive been a Scouter for the past 7 years and have held leadership positions at all levels. Everyone interprets the portion of our Scout Oath differently, as we do the Scriptures. This will be a confrontational issue for years to come. I personally feel God intended a man/woman union, but I'm not the judge. My concern with this new decision is what do leaders do on campouts when there are professed gay youth in your unit? Parents would never allow coed tenting arrangements for obvious reasons. Do we now separate gay youth from other same sex youth for the same reason when tenting? Like most governing bodies, they dont look at the forest beyond the trees.

I should use this as my avatar! Love the color pop!

BBF stands for back button focus. The button is on the back of the csmera, where the shutter button is typically on the top.

Ive been using BBF exclusuvely for a few months and I can tell you it had has rendered many more keeper shots. Ive got a canon 60D and customized my buttons in cust func. 4 to disengage the AF stary from the shutter button. My camera had a AF button for bbf. So I usey shutter button exclusively for AE lock (and waking up IS). I shoot my kids track meets eith my 70-200 and Changey drive mode to al servo amd keep my finger on the BBF (AF) button and the camera tracks the moving subj and keeps it in focus. But in alservo mode, when youve got the bbf depressed, a person can walk in your focal plane and the camera tracks the intruder. I then need to recompose on the correct subj and press the bbf again on the correct subj.

It still stumps me some and I forget my shutter button doesnt focus amd take the shot. The shutter button still activates the shutter tho. So you have to get used to the finger movements to take the shot. It becomes second nature within a few weeks. Try it...you can always cjange the buttons back if you cant get used to it.

I use LR4 where you can use the adjustment brush to selectively tone down the blown highlights in clouds. Love how sharp and crisp this image is.

At the recommendation of another photog, Ive just purchased the ext tbe set for canon from Amazon. I believe I paid $79. They have metal mount and stack well. I havent been shooting much with them yet.
