<p>In LR picture package gives same picture in different sizes. I wonder if there i a way to rint different picture on larger paper without wasting paper.</p>

<p>About a month ago I got the iPF6100 printer I have printed one large poster as a test and that's stunning. Fact is I don't need to print posters. Largest I want to print is 16x20 and mostly 8x10. Is there a way to print multiple picture simultaneously on the 24" wide paper?</p>

<p>I use LR3 and PSCS3.</p>

<p>Appreciate any help. Regards, ifti. </p>

<p>Ethical rules do not change. It is the wish of the person you photograph that determines if you can take a picture and then you can display it. As physician I don't think pictures of dead or sick one near death have any charm for me. It may be important in medical jurisprudence or as a documentation in medical records. Regards. ifti. </p>

<p>These are nice posts and I wish they were in color. I love smokies ans plan to spend a week end of October Hope to catch the color. Thanks for sharing. </p>

<p>There is a sucker for every thing.</p>

<p>I played with it and did not buy it instead bought 135mm Nikkor. It is too heavy to be a good portrait lens and not long enough for birds. This is good for indoor sports. I dont think it is for architecture unless you want to a portion with tele to show details. I have no experience with D700 so cant say much. Good luch. Regards, ifti. </p>

<p>Old adage ' it is the person behind the camera ' that counts. Automatic bells a whistles are tools only to be used with guidance of experience that produces a picture as opposed to a snap. Regards, ifti. </p>

<p>Home owners insurance covers it. It depends what deductible one has taken. Some stole my lap top that is few years ago and my deductible was 100 they paid me to buy equivalent laptop and I had to just send receipt to them. They did not care what brand I bought as long it had same hardware profile.<br>

I don't know if that also works for professional photographer? </p>

<p>I always do. For the prevention of glare and protection of my lens. One of my lens has built in hood (Nikkor 135 AF-DC) that you pull out or push in. </p>

<p>On cannon I have used 85mm 1.2 with amazing results. On Nikon I have used 85mm 1.8, 90 mm Tamron and the the lens I am most impressed with is 135mm AF-DC Nikkor, It has defocus image control ring. It is sharp and it literally melts the BG. Regards, ifti.</p>

<p>When I used to shoot in JPEG I did quick adjustments in Picasa as camera has done lot of default adjusting done before it spits out the JPEG. Sometimes I will remove blemishes is PS.</p>

<p>Now I shoot in RAW only and adjust in in PhotoRAW and then minor tweaking in PSCS3 to get the color and viberance and when photo looks like the one I saw when I clicked, I stop. </p>

<p>When importing in Lightroom I convert to DNG and save a raw in external drive. They both open in raw and don't see any major difference.</p>

<p>Digital stuff gets outdated, outmoded and and looses its charm along with software support. It is difficult to achieve a 'cult' status when it depends on so many external players.<br>

I sill have original Kodak Digital Science DC50 and latter a DC60 camera with a 4 megabyte card. Now there is no software support and even the computers will not load there pictures that I have on CD. I have kept both of these as they were the first cameras that gave some decent small picture. They just remind me as to how far we have come. Regards, ifti.</p>

<p>D200 is a very good camera I was happy as long as not using High ISO as there was noise. D300 is better in that respect. D300 has better meetering. Controls are same on both cameras. I upgraded from D200 and still have it as a back up camera, Regards, ifti</p>

<p>I use aperture priority and auto ISO. I also play with spot meter so I get the right exposure where it counts.</p>

<p>Nikkor 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 G ED VR has given me sharp pictures. I have used it for:<br>

1: Portraits in well lit living room.<br>

2: Flowers picture and at times it is better and more convenient than my macro lens (Tamron 90mm).<br>

3: For my bird shots that are at a reasonable distance with remarkable details. I ignore the birds out of reach for this lens. (I am not going to get 500mm lens ever).<br>

I have only one sigma lens 135-400 and that after few uses have stayed in the closet.<br>

To me this is a best lens with very good quality at its price. I am an amatuer in photography. Regards, ifti</p>

<p>I alway leave it in the camera bag.</p>

<p>Instead of 85mm consider 135mm 2 AF-DC for portraits I have 105 micro but was not happy with portraits. It is great for macros.</p>

<p>I am happy with Costco and MPIX but then I am not a pro however they do a very good job. Wall Mart and Sams were average to me. Few of the prints from MPIX on their metallic paper with luster spray were awesome and better than my expectation. I had uploaded tiff files.<br>

I wish you had some pictures in your portfolio to help give proper answer. Regards, ifti.</p>

<p>For my hobby the digital gives me control that film does not offer. I have a 12 mega pixil camera , shoot raw and open as tiff in PS. Selected pictures I sent to MPIX and the prints are stunning. Regards, ifti</p>

<p>The answer depends what type of photography takes bulk of your time. For my hobby:<br>

Most cost effective: 18-200VR bought with original D200 and after I have bought bunch of other lenses, this is the one I use most with great tresults.<br>

Least cost effective 90mm VR Macro played with it for a while but it just stays on shelf.</p>

<p>Regards, ifti</p>

<p>I have had a good trip with 18-200 VR It is great for out door not that great in low light unless you use flash. It is not too heavy. Dis carry a 50 mm 1.8 with me for indoor available light. This was easy to carry and did most what I wanted to do. Regards ifti</p>

<p>I have captured very sharp pictures with 50mm F1.8 a bargain lens, Then 60mm, and 105mm VR but to me 135mm DC F2 is the sharpest. </p>
