<p>That's good news Mark. 2010 is going to be a great year.<br>

All the best,<br>

Andy</p>

<p>I used to get a lot of help from Mark Newcombe from Sydney, Australia. I haven't been on the sports forum for ages and noticed he hasn't either.<br>

His MCNphoto.com site is gone now. Does anyone know how he is doing?<br>

Thanks, Andy.</p>

Go to DMOZ and add your listing info. It is where Google and all the others get their data. DMOZ is an open directory where every entry is reviewed by humans.<br>

Once you are on DMOZ start to play with your keywords, etc. to get as high up on google as possible.<br>

Good luck<br>

This is aimed at studio owners/photographers.

Do you print in-studio or send you work out to a lab?

If you print in-studio do you use inkjet or dye sub?

Any input appreciated.

I have both the Manfrotto 681 Monopod and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L. I never used a head, just screwed them directly together. After a few years of using this combo I have dropped the monopod and handhold the 70-200. The Manfrotto 681 is in storage waiting for the day I can afford a 400 2.8. The 70-200 really isn't that heavy.

I'm with Charles on this one, contact Canon/Nikon first. I'd guess they will only supply businesses that have a real storefront.

As a wedding photographer do you feel having a studio/storefront gives you an

advantage over guys that work from home?

If you work from home have you considered opening a studio?

Thanks

Hi Mark

Why did you go with the 2145 (6x9) instead of the 1245 (8x10)?

Could you post some pics of you setup so we can drool!

17 new clubs !! instant gratification wins again.

look after yourself,

I use a 30D with the 70-200 2.8L for competitions. I switched from Nikon to Canon last year because I was getting stressed out by all the noise. My starting point is always f/2.8, ISO 800, 1/250 and I adjust according to the rink lighting. The older/higher level skaters are much faster, so a faster shutter speed is needed. f/2.8, ISO 1000, 1/320 normally does the trick. Obviously you might be shooting in a real dungeon so these settings don't work. The main thing is to stop blurring and not go below 1/250 . If the lighting only allows you to use 1/160 try to shoot the skaters as they come towards you. <br><br>

- Do you use a monopod? if not get one, they really help. <br>

- Always use Manual settings - Always do a custom white balance. <br>

- Always focus on the kids head/face. <br>

- Use Noise Ninja to reduce the grain/noise.<br><br>

Good luck, <br><br>
