<p>I think I answered my own question. Looks like there is a legal transfer of license available. Just takes a lot of work and trust.</p>
-
<p>Can I find a used copy on ebay? Or will it not allow me to reregister once a serial number has been logged. I'm not familiar with the TOS of Photoshop.</p>
-
<p>Yes I quickly decided that a zoom lens would be my best option since all prime lenses in that range are crazy expensive. Can anyone recommend the Canon 70-300 4-5.6 with IS.</p>
-
<p>I have an Rebel XTI. I'm currently leaning towards a 70-300 with IS. I'm just concerned with its non rugged construction. I also wish it was a fixed length (not prime) camera with internal zoom. Otherwise I also like the 80-400 Sigma. But that will be tougher to find.</p>

<p>I'm looking to purchase a prime tele lens for shooting sports. But I don't know what i need. I know what i want. The ability to shoot a subject from far away to at min 33% of the image. So my max distance from the subject would be like I am near the 50 yrd line (football) shooting a hail mary pass into the endzone on the opposite corner. I think thats like 240-270ft I believe.</p>

<p>Could I use royalty free photos to then make say a photomosiac, and sell it? Or is that not allowed? Do I need to buy them?</p>
-
<p>Is F8 brighter and or sharper on a 1.2 max aperature lense compared to say a 1.4 or 1.8? </p>

<p>The best results I've found is to change you color mode to Lab Color. And do a unsharpen mask only on the Lightness layer. <br>
Don't be afraid to create a sharp and unsharp layer incase something doesn't look good. For instance for a facial portait I try to avoid sharpening skin (forehead) but I like the hairlines and eyebrows/eyes to be sharpened. You can then just delete something that you don't want sharpened.<br>
Change color back to its original when done.</p>

<p>Whats a basic studio kit consist of? Background, light for background, light for subject? I really have no idea. And I would like to start searching for a basic set of equipment. This is more for portrait photography.</p>

<p>I just recently bought a Canon Rebel Xti with the intention of possibly upgrading in the near future. This is more of a learners DSLR. Anyway, after a few weeks with my Rebel I am already looking for my next purchase. I took a brief look at Nikon's website and it seems that Nikon's lenses are about the same price as Canons.<br>
However camera's of the similar specs seem to be slightly cheaper than Canon. Is this correct? Histortically accurate?</p>

<p>How difficult is it to take a tack sharp photo without a tripod? Is it just one of those things where you take 50 pictures and hope 2-3 of them are sharp? </p>
-
<p>Hmm, it seems to work fine with mirror lock off. </p>
-
<p>I cannot seem to shoot continuous shots with my RS-60-e3 remote. I have mirror lock on and continuous mode works with the camera's shutter release. Am I doing something wrong or does this not work on my camera. The manual didn't mention anything. I have a Canon Rebel XTI.</p>

<p>Well this is what I'm leaning towards. <br /> <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=cart_accessories&A=details&Q=&sku=486871&is=REG#specifications">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=cart_accessories&A=details&Q=&sku=486871&is=REG#specifications</a><br /> perfect unextended height for me, good load capacity, heavy/rigid<br /> <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=cart&A=details&Q=&sku=469923&is=REG">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=cart&A=details&Q=&sku=469923&is=REG</a><br /> Good reviews, good load capacity.<br /> Am I overlooking something? Any comments?<br>
Oh and yes I've noticed I've overspent my budget... oh well.</p>

<p>I started looking some more and I'm confused about Carbon fibre vs. Aluminum. I consider myself a cyclist and as far as road bikes is concerned. <br>
Carbon fibre weighs less which is awesome, but... it absorbs power and vibration better (bad for power transfer good for lightness)<br>
Aluminum is heavier however because of its rigidity it has more power transfer (better for short distance races).<br>
So... it would seem that a carbon fibre tripod would perhaps absorb vibrations and ground movement better, where as an aluminum tripod moves less with the wind?<br>
Am I close?</p>

<p>Do dslrs cap out at a maximum write speed? For instance if I have a camera a few years old and i replace the compact flash card with a brand new 45mb/sec 16GB card. Will they be fully compatible? Is it possible to have too fast of a flash card?</p>

<p>This is a n00b question, but what does the "L" bracket do?</p>
-
<p>I am 5'4. I plan on taking many outdoor widescreen shots with a prime lense. But I guess a versatile "tank" tripod would be nice to.</p>

<p>I have a budget of about $500. And I am looking at getting a good quality tripod and head. I only shoot with a DSLR and not a very heavy one. Usually under 5lbs. I was thinking I could go with a high quality head like a Arca-Swiss Z1 (~400). And skimp on the tripod. Get something for under $100. <br>
I'm under the assumption that the head is more important for sharp photos than the tripod itself. Also I want a head that will last a long time. And I don't feel bad if I have to replace a $100 tripod.<br>
Is this giong to work or will I just end up hating the cheap tripod?</p>
