<p>I submitted some photos to a stock photography agency, and they are of a model with an extensive tattoo on her back. I sent in model releases and ID's. They told me that I needed a "property release form" from the tattoo artist if the tattoo is the focal point of the photo. I emailed them a few times for a property release form that they recomend or accept, but got automated responses with model releases. Anyone have or know where I can download this type of property release? Thanks.</p>

<p>I lost my software in the big move, and I got a new computer. I need Nikon Coolscan 4000 ED software, or even borrow it. If you are in the Chicagoland area, I can come to you and download it on my laptop. Willing to pay! Help!</p>

Looking for advice for the best Inkjet photo printers to print on canvas for professional, high quality, archival prints. I

have never really been happy with prints made by labs, and would like to control the printing process myself,

specifically for Canvas prints. Can anyone help?

I own a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED slide scanner. I don't have the software for it, and would

desperately like to obtain it so I can scan my slides. Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of it,

download it or like to sell me there's? Please help! Much appreciated!

I have an Epson 2200 photo printer where I made all my prints for outdoor art shows and photo jobs in the

past. I began selling photos on consignment at a gallery in Naples Florida last year, and I am now

interested in making high quality canvas prints to sell so I can cut down on the expense of the matting,

framing, museum glass, etc. Can anyone suggest a print service that is affordable and does high quality

work? I am also doing series of limmited prints on photo paper, and would also like to find someone to do

those also (hopefully affordable and high quality archival). I have never gone to an outside source to make

prints, and there are so many choices! Help!

I have been talking to a tour company "Tico Tours" in Ecuador about going on a

photography trip exclusively geared towards hummingbirds. For a 14 day trip

covering a variety of locations, they quoted me a price of $4075.00. Does

anyone know of any other Photography Tour companies or advice on possibly going

on my own? It just sounded expensive to me. I'll take any advice I can get on

tour guides, companies, locations for shooting, accessability on my own, etc.

Thanks for everyones advice in advance! Chris

I am looking for a good, affordable travel tripod that will support about 10

lbs. I have been researching tripods all day, and my head is spinning! I have

already spent over $400 on a nice gitzo tripod for everyday, but would like

something lighter and smaller that I can hike with in Costa Rica and Alaska

without breaking my back or my bank account. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

I am traveling to Maine to photograph the Puffins this summer on Machias

I am looking to photograph the beautiful, blue water, white sand, tropical

I went to Canon and they only have updates for their software, or that I could find, and I have bought a new computer since I have lost the software, so I can't update. Unless your link takes me somewhere else, your link isn't working. Thanks for everyone's help!

I lost my Canon Software for my Canon D Mark II camera, and don't have any

software to open up my current RAW files. Does anyone have any suggestions for

software to use, or any free downloads that I can use to adjust my RAW files?

Thanks!

same images, same workflow settings

color management is the same, and it's the same images.

I have an Epson 2200 printer that prints fine with my I Mac computer. I just

bought a new Dell notebook, and when I print from my Dell, the photos come out

way too dark, almost as if it printed the photo twice on top of eachother.

When I switch back to my Mac, no problem. I have contacted Dell support,

Epson, my Graphics design guy, and no one can figure it out. I have a desktop

from Dell that does the same thing. Any ideas? I need help! Thanks to all

of those taking the time to respond!

Does anyone know of any locations where I can photograph fields of

sunflowers? I have tried many search engines, but couldn't find any details

on locations, best times to visit, etc. Thanks.

I am looking for advice on Equiptment for Canon Macro Photography. I have

read many articles pointing out the good and the bad on the Canon MP-E 65 2.8

lens, but would prefer to hear from actual owners of the equiptment and if

they prefer a 180 3.5 macro lens or the MP-E 65? Flash choices? Other

Accesories for success? Just trying to make the best choices for my money.

Thanks.

I was looking for advice for the best flash to use with this lens for Macro

Photography. The MR-14EX Ring Lite? Or the MT-24EX Twin Lites? Thanks!

I am taking a trip to Homer AK, to photograph the bald eagles. I have read

The Eagle Lady about Jean Keene, and read an article by Joseph Van Os photo

safaris about a trip there, but have had a hard time finding anymore info. I

am looking for advice on best time to go (Feb? March?), technical advice (do

I need a polarizer? Bright enough?), hours to shoot, anything that may help.

I have lived in Alaska for 5 months during the summer, but never been there

before May or after September. Help! Thanks.

I am interested in finding a good photography program to file and store my

digital photos in RAW and my scans from my slides. I am unfamiliar with using

any of the programs out there, and am looking for something that is easy to

use, access photos quickly through key words, and have a thumbnail preview.

Thanks for everyone's input!

I was going to buy a 300 2.8 is canon lens, and then realized most of the

photography I was going to be doing would require f stops above f/4 (f/8, f

5.6, f/11). My question is, what are the benifits of a 2.8 lens (besides the

obvious speed) over a 300 f/4 lens. Is it worth the money if I won't be using

the 2.8? Is it better glass than the f/4? Thanks for everyone's time.

does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how to photograph home saltwater

aquarium fish?

I am interested in shooting hummingbirds this spring and summer, and would

like experienced hummer shooters advice. What aperture would you shoot at to

get a clear photo of the hummer? 5.6? 2.8? providing good light. Where

would you go to shoot hummers. I am in the suburbs of Chicago, and am going

to try to lure them to my yard with feeders, flowers, etc, but are there

locations I can go to shoot them? thanks.

I bought the Canon Mark II before the "N" model came out, and then heard from

some pro photographer friends that there were focusing problems with the model

I bought, but Canon won't admit it. I have noticed that I don't get as sharp

photos with my canon than with my previous Nikon system. Has anyone else

heard of these foucusing problems? I am so frustrated, I consider switching

all my equipt back to Nikon. Also, I heard that you can send your camera and

lenses to canon to "Mate" them together so they function better. Anymore

truths? Thanks.

I have found countless reviews on cameras, lenses, etc., but when shopping for

a polorizer and warming filter, there are so many choices BW, Cokin, etc. I

have a Canon System, and would like to know which companies do you recomend

for high quality glass filters?
