Thanks Guys,

I m thining to somehow retain the rights for the picture and go for a tiered Pricing, depending on how many prints the book gets. Like some sitting fees + $1 going down to 10 cents per copy of the printed book. It might fly ... rather than going just for a Lump sum and giving up the rights.

I did look up the Software, its expensive about 300 dollars .. holy moly, guess I have ask around if someone can do the calculations for me :) Or rather Ill just buy it and put it up as expenses.

Any more ideas guys ?

Thanks,

Jitesh

I have been asked by a book writer that she is willing to give me a contract

for taking pictures for two of her books along with her own portraits for book

covers.

She asked me for a price, however I am not sure how much should I ask for. She

says that one of these books might become a best seller and be picked up by one

of top book sellers.

I could go in two approaches, take a upfront fees and ask for per pritned copy

markup

Or take one lump sum irrespective of the number of prints.

Im sure some of you would have gone through this, I am just looking for pricing

structure and how much you guys charge for this kind of stuff ?

Thanks,

Jitesh

Hi all,

I am trying to get a calendar made for an organiztion. They want a

calendar made out of picture of their building. I am going to take

the pictures soon, however I was wondering where can I get them

printed. I need to make a quote for something like 5000 calendars.

Any help will be nice

Thanks,

J

hmm whats warmer temperature

The options i get are the daylight/shade/fluroscent/tungsten bulb and custom

Is sun a warmer temeprature

I modified the iso speed and now they look much better, the white balance helped, but i guess it was the iso speed.. i changed it to 400 and then to 800, worked like a charm.

Is this the correct way or am i missing something :(

Hi,

I finally got my Canon Dslr today ( wohoo) and i love it.

I tried taking some pictures and they come great.

I am actaully new in the digital slr stuff .. so if i am being too

naive or am not making any sense please let me know.

So I took 2 pictures of the same object ( flash on ) in both

One in fully automatic mode, second in P mode, Had couple of issues

If you look at the Fully automatic image

<br>

<img src="http://jitu.net/temp/Resize%20of%20fullyauto.jpg" alt=""

border="2" />

<br>

It looks kinda fine, photo was taken indoors

But if we look at the picture in p mode , it is kinda bluish

<br>

<img src="http://jitu.net/temp/Resize of pmode.jpg" alt="" border="2"

/>

<br>

I amnot sure why is this happening, this is because the camera i

faulty or i am doing all things wrong

Confused ???

Let me know if the camera is not supposed to do this as i am so bad at

these things , trying to learn and outgrow <br>

Thanks,<br>

J<br>

ps:if the pictures dont show upin the form above i have them at the

following url

<a href="http://doppler.unl.edu/~jbatra/temp/1.html"

target="new">Link</a>

<br>

For fully sized images the urls are

Auto</a>

<br>

and

<br>

The website http://www.scarolainc.com, provides warranty service from which comapny.

i cannot seem to find out the name of the comapny providing the warranty service

Thanks

Hi, <p>

After the numerous responses i got from the <a href="http://www.photo.

net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=006xoD">community</a> on buying

the camera with / or without the lens. I finally bought the lens.

But now cc also pushed me with an extended warranty, which i took.

However coming home i saw that the extended warranty plan from cc is

of no use. They do not honour it mostly and its complete waste of

money. <a href="http://badbusinessbureau.com/results.asp?

q1=ALL&q2=&q3=&q4=&q5=circuit&q6=&q7=&submit2=Search%21Circuit%

20City">Read this</a>

<p>

Now i was reading through the forums and people have <a href="http:

//www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=006cGI">suggested</a>

either not taking the extended warranty or taking it from people like

ritz camera who have extended service plan.

<p>

I was wondering if Canon direct had such an extended service plan, i

cant find anything on their website. I am now definitely not keeping

my warranty from circuit city. <br>

Any other options would be more than welcome

<p>

Thanks <br>
