What kinds of product do you offer the clubs, group/team pictures ?<br><br>

Any chance of getting a copy of the contract you use?  I'm about to contact some local clubs and need to get my act together.<br><br>

I'm in the process of setting my site up using JAlbum with the Fotoplayer skin. JAlbum is free and the Fotoplayer skin is $50 for the commercial version. I was put onto Fotoplayer by Mark Newcombe, he's a regular on Photo.net and a great guy. You can check out his site at <a href="http://www.mcnphoto.com/" target="_blank">www.mcnphoto.com</a><br><br>

JAlbum is a free download.... <a href="http://www.jalbum.net/" target="_blank">www.jalbum.net</a> <br>Fotoplayer allows you to take orders by email or Paypal.... <a href="http://www.fotoplayer.com/" target="_blank">www.fotoplayer.com</a>    free trial version can be downloaded.<br><br>

I'm starting out in business taking kids sports photo's. I am

considering offering printing onsite and would like some input

regarding printer types, makes, models, running costs, etc.

thanks, Andy

Right click on the image and then 'open image in new window'

Looks like a job for Noise Ninja.

Just got a copy of Noise Ninja. Excellent plugin, works wonders.

Thanks guys

Manual - f/2.8 - 800iso - 1/250 Perfect!<br><br>

I had to try it out tonight. Got to the rink with 3 minutes to go in the kids practice. <br><br>

<strong>RESULT:</strong> Less grain/noise, skin looks normal, not red and grainy. Everything looks great, I'm very pleased.<br><br>

Thanks<br><br>

I use a D70S with a 80-200mm f/2.8D for photo's at the rink. I'm

pretty new to this and would like to know if there is a definitive

setting that you experienced guys use. Do you use a different AF

setting for Hockey compared to Figure Skating?<br><br>

Here's how I setup for my daughters Figure Skating... <br><br>

Aperture Priority<br>

f/2.8 <br>

Exposure: +0.3 <br>

Metering: 3D colour Matrix <br>

AF: AF-C / Dynamic Area <br>

ISO 800 (tried ISO 640 but had a little blurring due to slower

shutter speed)<br>

That Magnetic lasso is an amazing gadget!

I used the lasso, inverted it, deleted it.......... and what do you know. :)<div></div>

Michael.... page 184 !? I haven't got past page 147 yet. :)

The Kenko is the one for me. Lots on Ebay for around $150.

Thanks again.

I just found this test comparing the Tamron/Kenko TC to the Nikon TC16A. The Tamron/Kenko comes out on top when used with the 80-200 f/2.8D. <br><br>

Here's the link if anyone is interested.<br><br>

<br><br>

Thank's guys I really appreciate all the info.

Is there a teleconverter that will let me use AF with my 80-200

f/2.8D ED ?

The Nikon TC-14b, TC-201 & TC-14a I believe only allow manual focus.

Hope you can help guys,

Andy

I have just started selling collage/composition images of local figure skaters. You can see an example <a href="http://www.golfcrazy.ca/catalog/images/example01.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>. This is my favorite one, my daughter. <br><br>

I use Photoshop 7, you have to put in lots of hours to learn a few tricks, but it's worth it. <br>For collages also try LumaPix FotoFusion, you can download a free trial at <a href="http://www.lumapix.com/">lumapix.com</a>. <br><br>

I want to take shots of my daughter Figure Skating. I have a Nikon

D70s. Will the 80-200 f2.8 do the job?

If anyone has any tips for taking photos of Figure Skating and Ice

Hockey, I'm all ears.

Thanks

Andy
