Well, I just now decided to give Raw a try. Will combine with jpeg. (Raw +jpeg when shooting) What will happen when I import into my PSE 18, which I am still learning?

You are amazing! Both as a photographer and. Instructor. I love your work and dialogues.
Thank you!

I just had the same problem with "store original". It was my first time posting and, so, I blamed myself! Maybe it was the UGG!

Love your inspiring comments! Thanks again!

Thank you all so much!

Thank you all....I was nervous about sending, but I thought he was sort of unusual for the Forum!

It was my old Nikon D80 18-135mm and the flash is Nikon SB800 Used M for both. Did just a little cropping and enhancing.
I have a wonderful D7100 also...I love them both!
Thanks!....My first comment!

This is my first post, and I hope I do it right!
Anyway, there I was...doing a walk-around the Circle of the Turnberry Golf Course (in Aventura, Florida), when there was a loud swoosh as a rather large (to me) iguana leapt onto a nearby palm tree!
Luckily, my camera and flash were at adequate settings, and I started shooting right away...most with fill flash, as he was hiding within the dark leaves and branches.
The better to see those big eyes of his!
Best to download...

There he goes!


He's hiding....Look closely..

Check those spines!


What a face!

I stand corrected!...We live and learn!

I agree...both as a Realtor and amateur photographer.. I thought the outdoor shots verged on being garish.. Our photos should be pretty, but also REALISTIC!

I was not disparaging professional photographers! Yes, you are underpaid and I am in awe of you. My response was to the comment made comparing the photographer's pay for two days' work to the commission which probably took months of hard work to earn. With some deals, if you break down the time spent, it comes down to minimum wage! But I agree with you, that professional pictures are very important, and, unfortunately, are worth much more than the going rate. I think we're sort of in a 'catch 22'! There are two sides to the story!

Well...As a semi-retired (professional for approximately 40 years) Realtor, and an amateur photographer who loves shooting her own listings, and is now a dedicated UGGer; I simply must respond to this one!
First, I must take issue with the response from Martin Fisher Photo, comparing the Photographer's price to the Realtor's commission....Wow! I might spend a couple days photographing and post processing my photos for the MLX, but the time and effort do not compare with the time and effort, plus expenses spent (literally) in servicing, and hopefully selling, the Listing! Time wise, there is no comparison, plus, there is no guarantee that a commission will be earned! So much for that! I do agree that it is a shame that most Realtors are satisfied with their cell phone photos. I think they are doing a disservice to their clients, especially if the property is in a higher price range. I agree that good pictures are so important in order to appeal to prospective Buyers and/or their Agents, and I, too, am totally disgusted at so many of the terrible pictures on the MLX. But, as Independent Contractors, the expenses are great....dues, fees, phones and computers and printers, car, valets, advertising, proper clothing....And that "huge" commission is usually split FOUR ways!
To close....I love this Forum and I'm learning so much about my favorite hobby: Photography! Keep up with all the great advice and info! I'm totally addicted!

I still have my D80 and it's great...but it has limitations as to iso etc. .Read your manual and use within the imitations. I also have the D7100 with higher capacities,. But I still love and use the D80.

Love it!

Surprised to hear that about SPTS here in Miami!...i've been using them for many years and have no complaints.
