<p>John, Zach and Marios: Thank you! Thanks for the tips. I was thinking to myself, 'duh! kelly!'<br>

I will try out those tips and keep tweeking this. Thank you guys so much for your time! *off to buy a gray card*</p>

<p>I can't afford a pro to do 300+ shots a week and I did go to college for photojournalism, it's just that this is new to me. I have a Nikon D300. I can edit the images down where they look fine, it's just that it takes time. I've never worked with Lightroom, maybe I'll look into that. </p>

<p>I tried to do a custom wb but it was all yellow. This shot is on one tusn setting on my camera. I'll keep messing around with the wb. Thanks! :)</p>

<p>I've recently bought studio equipment to better my product photos for my website. I sell clothing, and I wanted to have a clean, white background. <br>

I'm not much of a studio photographer, and I am slightly new to this, but my images look all wrong. My white background has a odd pink hues and the color looks all wrong.<br>

I've done a custom white balance and the images come out all yellowish. <br>

I have the Cubelight tent with four 500W tungsten floodlights.<br>

Any advice to get me started on the right track? Should I buy a calibration target?<br>

Thanks so much in advance! </p><div></div>

<p>A friend of mine has brought me a odd little camera: Minolta ER. The camera is in great shape, but it looks as if the shutter mirror is locked up. Does anyone know if this is a simple fix? Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>or, I'm going to look into the D300. :)</p>

<p>Lex, your prob right: I may be just a bit too hard on my equipment. I may just shy away from the D2X and spend my money on a better lens. Things seemed so much easier with film or when I had a D1......thanks again guys! </p>

<p>I know I'm obnoxious as to post this question again, but thanks for bearing with me. I just wanted some fresh take on this as I'm dizzy from all the info I've read prior to my post. <br>

My D90 and D40x are great, but they are just not built as tough as I'd like. I hate to say that I'm a little heavy on my stuff and no all my lenses work AF wise on these cameras. With so many different cameras, I'm staring to feel lost. But again, I thank everyone for helping me out.</p>

<p>I desperately need to upgrade to a DSLR and I'm thinking of buying a used Nikon D2x. I do need a pro DSLR as I have worked with the D40x and D90 and they are not really cutting it for me. But my main concern is how "old" the D2x is. <br>

Most of the work I do is freelance for newspapers, product photography and I am staring up a few weddings this summer.<br>

Any suggestions? I was thinking a D300 but I'll have to save up more $$ as this is my biggest problem [isn't is always?] </p>

<p>Thank to all in advance for help! </p>

<p>I did do a Google search, but I did not find a lot of info for people using the camera or if it is worth anything. I found a battery, now I just got to wait for it to get here in the mail. This camera says it has a max aperture of F1.7 did they make these in different models? </p>

<p>A friend of mine gave me a Ricoh Super Shot camera and I can't seem to find a lot of information on it. It's in good shape, it's been sitting in a police property room for 30+ years and has not seen a lot of action. Seems to work, I need a battery for it [god knows where I'll find one] but I was just wondering if anyone out here is able to shed a little light on for me. I'd like to shoot with it [looks like it would be fun] and thanks for the help! </p>

<p>again, thank you everyone for the advice. I think I am going to change my mind and keep this little guy since it's in such a amazing condition. And after poking around, I'm only hear good things about this camera. Thanks again! Hope to shoot with it soon!</p>

<p>wow, thanks Greg! *hug* I'll stop by the shop and see what he can do!</p>

<p>Hello! I have just bought a early 60s model Minolta Autocord in mint condition for $60. It looks as if this camera was never used: shutter and aperture work great, but the focus lever is stuck. I know this is a common problem with this camera and I will be reselling it [i'd love to keep him, but I'm broke and I have a lovely Rollie]<br>

I'm just wondering if it would be a good idea to have the camera fixed before selling it or should I just sell it as is. I have a local guy in town who does great work and I won't have to worry about shipping it out. The camera also has a lot of extras too [close up lens, filters, flash grip, flash, etc]<br>

Thanks for taking the time and helping me out! <br>
