larry schaefer - chicago,

<p>Recently Calumet Photo introduced a 249.00 battery pack, the Powerblock 900.<br>

While surfing on Amazon.com I saw a visually identical unit. Identical in every detail. Does anyone know anything about these two units yet?<br>

Thanks.</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me the symptoms of a printhead that is worn or has just given up the ghost.<br>

In my case I have an Epson 2200 that literally began drooling ink during a head alignment which I performed due to vertical streaks of alternaing colors. An hour prior to that I was making choice prints on Ilford smooth perl paper. <br>

Maybe I shunned the labs too soon.</p>

<p>I just inherited an Epson Stylus 2200 photo printer. My operating system is Windows XP home edition.<br>

I would very surprised if the 2200 flat out just doesn't work with XP.<br>

Is there a way to get the 2200 and XP working.</p>

<p>Thanks<br>

Larry Schaefer</p>

My response is not technical in any way. I solved my deplorable Canon focusing issues by unloading all my Canon gear Rebel XT, 20D, and a 40D and replacing them with used D70's. Most people do not have the opportunities to do extensive physical equipment comparisons.

On this subject I find both manuals thin and ambiguous. Maybe some one can

clear this up with a brief response.

 

Will a 540FGZ fire wirelessly from the pop-up flash on a K10D?

Canon sets the pace for reddish and unsharp images straight from the camera. This was in the case in my Rebel 350D and the 20D which I hoped would offer improved results.

 

Recently I have been supplied a Nikon D70 to use and it is tack sharp for a huge percentage of shots and does seem to have a tinge of blue. In Photoshop the images are way more forgiving to correct than the Canon images from Mars.

Want to know the lighting. Looking into the eyes is a good place to start.

A little more contrast. You can yank out more with the original I am sure.<div></div>

A little sparkle.

I have been working with one of these as seen on takegreatphotos.com

 

Works pretty good but costs 30 bucks for a little sheet of foam

 

Many times I dont even hook the fasteners. It will push light back into the shot even if flash is aimed straight up.<div></div>

Lenses and an occassional muslin.

Its all a shell game.

Everyone that wants one should conspire not to buy it for 1-2 months.

 

The deals would be awesome after a short time

This action entailed using the USB cable.

 

Sorry

I loaded my Canon Digital Photo Professional 1.6.1 Software today. I then

plugged in my 20D and the computer does not recognize the 20D.

 

What gives?

I wish I had to worry about people wanting their images to the various extents mentioned above. In the Chicago market your lucky if the bride even shows interest in what you've shot.

 

Kari does make a good point about how bad your work might look if the end user goes to some crap processor for prints.

My thought on this is that there are countless ways to charge someone with infringement.

 

If Johnny Photography cranks out a slide show with a few commercial songs to spice up his production and sells it to the bride. I think in the real world he is not the kind of guy they are looking for. Besides if you are playing whole songs end to end you are probably producing slow, boring, sub mediocre stuff anyway.

 

Carry a 2 mil umbrella policy for under a hundred bucks a year and if it happens you would would probably have enough to make it go

away. IF you were ruled against. Like they have Johnny under surveileance in his 2 bedroom ranch with his Taurus parked in the driveway for putting "The Girl from Ipanema" on his slide show.

 

Don't always play the entire song either.

I might ad/ask wouldn't you set WB to flourescent as an option.

 

Raw isn't bad but if you get a properly metered shot and underexposed by about a third of a stop you should be okay. Then you wont ahve to convert.

 

I also agree strongly agree with Conrad about another flash and the histogram.

Thanks Del,

 

Thats nice work buddy. That suggestion will definately be a card in my sleeve on that day.

Thanks everyone for the responses!

 

I have been to the church/chapel where the wedding is taking place, just not recently. I would like to work a structured symetrycal shot and let them mess around and have a fun free form posing session.

 

The wedding is Dec 30th so I dont anticipate outside opportunities. Global warming is great but not yet 100% reliable. I have the Alien Bee 800's if necessary so I can boost light with little concern.

 

I was hoping to get some suggestions on arranging the bodies.

During end of December I am shooting a wedding that will have 34 people in the

bridal party. Add a few flower girls. I'd like to see posed bridal party

shots of 30 or more in the image.

 

I need insight here.

So Tony, you have web design experience?

STAND BACK, Here comes Lauren M.

 

Truly nice work with emerging PJ style. Hang in there I like them a lot.

I'd love to do work like that. Try and tear the masses out of the Picture People in all the malls.

Do away with the icon thing all together. It induces a class structure. Class structure is inconsistent in a community where there is frequent and overt monitoring of opinion and suppression of visual expression.

 

Give a trophy to whoever has the most expensive, most quantity, and most prestigious name brand gear on P/N. Let that icon be a golden ox.
