<p>Thanks for the valuable information. I'm certainly not new to the photograph business and have had some success selling prints. I have explored a number of sites that offer the type of service I am interested in and was just wondering if anyone knows of other sites that I may have missed during my search. I found the obvious sites and am still looking for other options. As an example one site I have reviewed is ETSY. As far as stock photography, I'm not willing to sell my work for .30 cents a download but that's another topic. </p>

 

<p>I am looking at selling limited addition fine art photographs via a website that offers this type of service. I am not interested in selling my work on a stock agencies website. I am not prepared to give my work away. Spacificly I looking to up load files that can be searched by name or key word. The web site owners would take care of the sales for a reasonable fee. If would also retain ownership of the files. Any suggestions. <br>

<p>Jerry Ghioni is an award winning wedding photographer from down under. I attended one of his seminars a number of years ago and it changed the way I do weddings. He is an amazing artist and teacher. His approach to wedding photography leaves his clients happy. His mix of fashion and documentary styles is truly inspirational.<br>

The photography is from a wedding I did a number of years ago after attending Jerry's seminar. It's Jerry's approach during the wedding that helps people relax which helps create great photos and makes the client happy with the results. </p><div></div>

Try bouncing the light off a white wall rather then the celling. If the walls are not white you can purchase white white boards at a craft store With a little experimenting you will get your results. I usually tilt my on camera flash 45 degrees up and 45 degrees to the right or left. I use the same angles with my strobes. You can also introduce a little colour into your portraits by using colored boards (or walls)

Thanks folks I appreciate your words. I can't help but believe that light passing through a piece of glass shifts a little and has some slight impact on the final product. Thanks again for the words I have just taken all the filters off my lens. I like Ivan's advise film/lenses/booze. I have the film and lenses now I have to re-stock my bar. till next time

I have a number of lens for a 35 mm camera. Each lens has a uv filter

to mainly protect the lens from dirt and scratches. So I have a 400

dollar lens protected by a 18 dollar piece of glass. I started

thinking about the optical effects that filter is having on my

photographs. Any thoughts.

I purchased a new Canon 20D about 8 months ago. Yesterday while doing

some field work I began having problems with the LED and the readings

in the view finder. When I turned the camera on all of the items in

both the view finder and the LED lit up. I could not read any of the

camera settings, everything was visible. My question is, Is this an

indication of problems to come. Has any one else experienced the same

problems. I have been given the standard 4 to 6 weeks for repair and I

wondering if this is going to be a reocurring problem. I have searched

the web and can't find any information related to this problem.

Thanks

If you are looking for classes or workshops try your local community college. They sometimes offer courses at night or on weekends. If they do offer photography course they will usually have some nice equipment such as studio lights or dark room equipment. Most colleges will also offer digital courses like photoshop as well. If you stick at it long enough you just may end up with a degree..Don't forget to review the learning forum on this web site...

If you are just starting out do yourself a favour and take a couple of photo courses. You will not only learn about photography you will meet people who all have the same love of photography. All the answers are good but it's really not the equipment, sites, lighting or good luck. It's all about seeing and then having the ability to capture what you see. That's why you have to find out for yourself HOW TO TAKE GREAT PHOTOS Have fun and take lots of photographs. Good luck

What is the best way to protect camera equipment from extreme changes

in temperatures. Condensation occurs on the camera and lens when going

from an outside cold temperature to a heated area such as a car or

house. Should I be worried about the inside of the camera and what

steps can be taken to prevent any damage......
