I found this little guy at a street fair in Seattle last summer. He seems awfully proud that he had trained his parents so well!

Just love taking pictures..I would love to learn to take better ones . If any body can suggest a good digital book for beginers I wold love to learn the basics like shutter speeds, lighting,background, etc.
I'm a big fan of Scott Kelby. He's very good at explaining things. He has tons of books. Good luck! There are many people here with good knowledge who are happy to help.

Here's another try to post the photo I told you about . I had to print it and then photograph it to get it to work,then the lighting was off. So once more I took it to photoshop and adjusted the lighting and saved it as a jpeg file and tried it again and voila! It worked.
Wow, that monkey has held up well! If you find you like doing greeting cards, check out GreetingCardUniverse.com. They don't really pay fairly (they take 80%) but a lot of people seem to like it. My card site is called AngelDogCards. I haven't sold much, but I also haven't put much time into it. Some people do really well there. Good job on this one, by the way.

I was the kid of a photographer back in the 60's. She was brilliant. I wish I had been a little more patient and had paid more attention, but I didn't know I was going to grow up to be a photographer, too! :)

Thank you for that. Some people I meet make me feel like a scumbag for not using RAW yet. To me, I don't think I need it unless I'm standing in front of the most amazing, career-launching image that I want to capture in the best way possible. Since I don't live in a place that has those kinds of images very often, and I shoot just what I see day to day, I can't imagine that a "fine" JPEG wouldn't be plenty good enough. I rarely print anything larger than a 16 x 20 and haven't seen any quality problems yet.

How do you get bees? I am having a bit of a problen with the little buggers. They won't sit still long enough. This is the best I have done so far.
HAHA! Yes, bees are troublesome little guys. The key to getting good shots of bees is to shoot one HECK of a lot of frames! Eventually, you get one in focus.

I'd like to see more of the shoe, too. Took a while to figure it out. Good general concept, though.

I think we (ok Maybe Me, the OP seems to have an issue with Me) might have drove Billie34 away. Makes me wonder how the OP would have reacted to less than positive C&C on one of their images.
I'm actually very sad, I hate to lose a new member. Every one has information and knowledge we can all learn from. :|

I've read over and over from the beginning and still can't figure out why she went off like that on people who didn't deserve it. Seems like Billie has a large chip on her shoulder for whatever reason.

My boy, Spencer, and girl, Ivy. They make me laugh every day. I have millions of pictures of dogs, because dogs and photoraphy are my passions. But these two live with me. And they're harder to photograph than any other dogs.

Great first try! And what a gorgeous kid! He has the most beautiful eyes. You did well with the narrow depth of field to throw the background out of focus. Doing that, you can use pretty much ANYthing as a backdrop. No one would ever guess that is just a piece of cardboard.
If you want to soften the light and don't have umbrellas or a soft box, just get a big piece of white poster board and use it as a reflector. Bounce the light off of that and you'll have nice soft light, sort of like window light. I'm no expert, either, but that's my two cents!

What that person did really sucked. That will be HER karma and, on some level, it will bother her and she'll know what she did was wrong. At least one would hope.
People do that all the time on RedBubble with the little "contests" they do in most of the groups. Sometimes the one with the most votes is obviously NOT the best one. Just the one who told people to vote for them. Sad. (Part of me would love to see the crappy image she "won" with) haha
