  1. <p >While I’ve only done a few portraits, they have all been outdoor style portraits. I really want a small indoor studio, but don’t really know where to start. I know it will cost some $$$ but I’m willing to go for it. Like I said, I don’t want a super-fancy, super expensive one, just a little studio to do some portraits of family and friends. So where do I start? For sure I need some type of back drop and a stand to hang them from. I’m just not sure which one to get or where to get it from. Also, would I need a bunch of big fancy lights? I have a feeling that is the expensive part. I also have a feeling that a canon 580 EX 2 won’t be enough by itself. Can I here your thoughts or maybe see some photos of your photo set-ups? Thanks!</p>
  2. <p >I was looking through some award winning photos for this big photo contest today and I was trying to figure out why they won (whether it is the emotion the photo brings or the content in the photo). Anyways I noticed that most of the photos had a 3D look to them while most of mine have more of a 2D look. Does that make sense? The award winning photos really pop out of the frame and grab your attention due to this 3D look. So what gives a photo this look? Is it the equipment? Is it the angle at which you’re shooting? Is it pure LUCK? I kind of have a theory that the wider the focal length, the more 3D the look, while the longer the focal length, the more of a 2D look you get. Like a canon 16-35 will have a better 3D look than the canon 600mm lens. I say this because I own a 600mm. I don’t know this is just a theory. I’m interested to hear your thoughts on this topic. Thanks!</p>

  3. <p>Hello Photo.net. I'm going to my first concert this weekend and i'm pretty excited. I'm going to take my camera for some pictures and was wondering what settings yall think are best? The concert is in a stadium at night. I'll have my canon 40D and either the 28-135 kit lens or the 80-200. Both lenses are f/4s so not too fast when it comes to light, but I think i'll be ok if I use my flash (canon 580 EX 2). My photos don't have to be professionl quality so I don't want to buy any more equipment. I just want to record the moments with my photographs. Thanks!</p>
  4. I think you should always include the whole birds body when doing reflections. The only exception would be if you had a giant lens like a 600mm and the bird was too close to get it's whole body in the photo...
  5. <p>Thank you so much guys. JDM, I really didn't want to oil anything because I knew I would screw somthing up :-) Daniel, TTTTHHHHHAAAAANNNNKKK YYYOOOUUU! I had to stick my nail under the left side and after it clicked I pushed to the right. I took some photos, the flash works fine. I closed it and it pops right up everytime. Thanks.......</p>
  6. <p>I just got my 40D last week and was so excited. So far i've taken photos with it everyday and I have used the pop-up flash before. Now when I try to pop it up, it makes this loud clicking noise 3 times and an error 5 pops up saying, "The built-in flash's auto pop-up was obstructed. Turn the power off then on again" I did that and it does the same thing each time. Can someone help me!</p>
  7. <p>Yes i'm from south Texas so yall is in my vocabulary and I say it alot as yall can tell. Sounds like most of yall have alot of fun at weddings.<br>
