If you can send a link I would appreciate it very much.

I am starting a sports photo biz.

I want to use a web service that provides the website and printing for me.

All I want to do is take the shots and upload the photos.

It will be used for sports photos only.

Can anyone help me?

I looked at shutterbug. They have a service that take 15% of what I make.

Does anyone know of a better website provider that does it all for me?

Thanks.

Hi everyone.

I just talked to Bill and he told me to buy noise ninja. I did, and I am

using it with adobe photo elelments.

My first question is should I fix the photo with the histogram first and them

use noise ninja? Or noise ninja then fix the photo.

My second question, I have two dell computers and a mac book. I want to buy a

better photo software. I have been looking at Apple's Apurature. Does it

have a noise fixing element in the program?

I did take the advise on shooting the high school football pictures.

Take a look at my website: www.bbchsfootball.com

(go to the game day tag at the top and you will see the latest pictures. Tell

me what you think I used noise ninja and photo shop elements.

I shot the the game with the following:

1. Manual

2. ISO 1600

3. 250

4. 5.6

5. ALSERVO

6. JPEG

My last question, would I get better results shooting in JPEG +RAW?

I really appreciate everyones replies.

The football team love the pictures.

I really want to give them the best picture possible.

Thanks
