<p>Hello. My 16 year old will be traveling to Cuba this summer. He wishes to take pictures of street life, buildings, people, beaches, etc. I want him to be low key when taking photos so he does not attract thieves. I do not want him taking a bulky SLR with a telephoto lense. Is there is a high quality point and shoot he can use-that won't reduce the quality of the photos? Or some other camera? The plan is to make 24 x 24 prints. He will be staying with a cuban family at their home. Thank you.</p>

<p>I will be traveling to Atanta GA. Will be around the World of Congress and the Coca Cola Museum. What are some sites to take pictures of? </p>

<p>Hello. I am looking to take professional portraits of my children and family at home instead of going to the bigbox stores to save the money and hopefully increase the quality of the pictures.<br>

I believe ideally I need a 3 light source system. Can I obtain a complete set for under $400? Any recommedations? Ideally not really h ot lamps. Go used? Where?<br>

Backgrounds-where I can I get a basic, blue, gray and black backgrounds? Looking for small as possible. How much? Where? <br>

How big of stand to hold the backgrounds do I need. Looking for small as possible.<br>

I have a Canon EOS Rebel t1i. Addition to the standard lense that comes with the camera, I have Canon 70-200mm L non-is and Canon Flash 450exII. Do I need a 50mm lense and at least f 1.8?<br>

Thank you.</p>

<p>Thanks you James. Yes. The picture vertically does fill the LCD screen. Side note--autorotate is not activated.</p>

<p>Thank you Shawn. I also notice that the picture shrinks when it is rotated on the computer screen as well.</p>

<p>Why is it when I rotate the camera to take a vertical shot, the picture shrinks? How can I avoid that? Do I need another camera? I have a Canon EOS Rebel t1i. If I need another camera, which Canon model would do the trick with lowest price point?</p>

<p>Excellent. Thank you Mark. </p>

<p>Thank you Phil. Very Helpful. Will post my results after the next tournament.</p>

<p>What is the best way to take indoor volleyball pictures. I have a Canon EOS Rebel T1i. Canon EF70-200mm F2.8 L (non-is). Can't use flash for the volleyball games. Do I use the auto setting, sports setting or manual? Do I change auto white balance setting? <br />Also, should I get a light meter and walk on the area of the court where the players are to determine the iso, shutter and aperature and then set it manual and walk back to the bleachers for the shot. I understand that the first thing about sports photos is to get physically as close as possilbe to the action. <br />In addition, which focus set up should I use? Sometimes the pictures are not clear where I aimed but other objects that I did not intend to focus on are clear. <br />I have polarizer. I heard that the polarizer will reduce the fstop by 2. Do I take it off? Also should I use the lense hood?<br />Thank you.</p>

<p>EF Mount. Thank you all for the great advice!</p>

<p>My camera is Canon EOS Rebel T1i. Thank you.</p>

<p>I am looking for a great canon portrait lense. Do you recommend 55MM or 105mm? Should I go prime fixed or adjustable? Also striving for a F1.4 or F1.8 with the lense? </p>

<p>Thank you Juergen very helpful.</p>
