I was just wondering if any of you remember or used the Famous Photographers school which was a correspondence school that was somewhat popular back in the 60s and maybe 70s. I did sign up for it and did about half to two thirds of the lessons before quiting. It was broken up into 3 large books each of which had several lessons in it pertaining to different aspects of photography. Students would read each lesson do an assignment usually sending in a sample of your work like homework and have it reviewed and graded by a staff member giving suggestions on how to improve ones work. The one lesson I got the most value out of was a lesson on composition which was the best I've seen anywhere since. Its founding famous photographers were people like Eisenstadt, Avedon and about 10 others who were deemed to be best in their field. I don't remember the price but it was worth it. There was also a famous Artist course which my Aunt took and I got something out of too. Just wondering.
Of course most of my photo education came from just doing and quite a bit from military training too during the Viet Nam war. Also working a variety of photography jobs.

Yes! I did that too when I was first starting. I kept those 'books' forever. I did learn a lot.
I thought about the Sony macro but ended up getting the Sigma 70mm. I really like it. It's very sharp, not too heavy and was much less expensive.
The latest version of Topaz Sharpener AI actually has a quad screen that shows the results for each of the choices PLUS Topaz AI Clear. It's pretty handy to see them all at once so you can choose.
No , the image is there. I can see it and open it directly in PS. I think something is wrong with the upgrades. I'm going to re do them. I think it's a glitch...
I think you're right because it isn't consistent. Sometimes it works perfectly as it did before the upgrade.
Nope...but I think Olympus does.
I create a collection when I load new photos and then I develope from the collection but, after upgrading, I've found some, but not all, my photos won't allow me to right click to edit in Photoshop. What's happening?
A small card case can be a great solution. It keeps all your cards in one place and keeps them clean at the same time. Card cases are also handy in that you can store your formatted, ready-to-go cards face up and your used cards face down so that you know which ones are which.
I actually wasn't carrying my case and stuck a card in a pocket, washed and dried the shirt and well, you can guess the results...
I started with the 60mm Nikon macro on a D300 (1.5 crop frame) and I now have the 105mm on a full frame. Although, you can get further away from your subject wit the longer lens, you need to consider your field of view too. If your not planning on doing bugs or things that require distance, the 60mm will be fine. It's a great starter macro for getting your toes wet with crop 1.5 sensor.

There is a slide bar on my Nikon Macro 60mm that says 'Limit' and 'Full'. What does this mean and what do I use it for?
Thanks,

Does anybody know a good (cheap) resource for some of the British photo mags? I sneak peaks at them when I'm at Barnes and Noble and they seem FULL of really good content however they are also about $15.00 each.
Ahhhh, then I probably can quit looking in Oregon, USA. Thanks!
I do subscribe to Outdoor Photograpy, Shutterbug and one other but I'm going to let my subscriptions lapse. I've had them for years and, true, once in a while there are good articles but usually they're pretty shallow and I can do a lot better reading web sites (i.e. luminous landscape etc).
