LINE Get Rich game. Essentially "facebook" social online monopoly game, done VERY well. Been playing it for about a week here and there and it's a perfect break activity and something to get the energy going.

Re: Is crappy my photo ? :( :) Whites are still too blown out for my tastes. Makes the shot seem a bit over-exposed. But generally, OP, its not done and ready for eval until you fully edit it.

Think its about time I got one of these for routine cleanings. I got some amount of spots when shooting in low apertures, but no idea whether its oil or just routine FX thing. Got about 36k clicks on the shutter since its replacement in spring, so definitely not pressed to try and mild Nikon for...

@RON its pretty much the heart of my debate aside from IQ. From experience, if I have to zoom past 50 (could effectively call it 35) that takes quickly adjusting the flash head and confusing the heck out of the metering so the long shots are more often than not sub-par or just not very useable...

So I've about scraped the cash to pull in either 28-70 or maybe even a 24-70 if I find some lucky deal, but now I'm starting to wonder whether or not I need (and to pay for) the 35-70 range of one of these lenses. This would be my predominant indoor/event lens and currently the only time I zoom...

Honestly can't really decide on the best, but I'll post the favorite one due to sentimental value. Decided to pull resources and hit up the biggest drifting event of the east coast to catch up w/ an old friend from my car days (in pic) and a few others I met along w/ him about 4 years ago...

@Smoke there are really 2 angles to this whole thing as far as I understand it after 2 years. Low-key and high-end. Low-key ends up being friends asking for small shoots, maybe their friends, and past depends on how they like what you do. Cards help, but aren't really that essential as is a site...

And actually managed to fix the little bugger! Here's a composite I did last night to hightlight the brawn under the skin of these things.

Speaking of, starting to revisit some of mine to get a better lighting setup for studio-style shots. And made a little project page on my site, www.skvoraltdphoto.com/project-mz

@WhiteLight, another thing to consider is the general purpose of your site/folio- attract paying customers or simply showcase whatever you like to shoot for anyone out there. At least from my experience, where I live(d), nature doesn't sell at all and National Geographic is within a leg's reach...

@WhiteLight, I'd do it per category and then whatever you feel is enough to convince the buyer. There are lots of profuct types and each is shot differently, so I'd do at least 8-10 shots showcasing a small solid, glass, clothing, a car(?), etc. And have shots vary greatly if its the same type...

So I've been trying to find the easiest plugin that would allow me to simply tag an add-to-cart/buy-now marker to existing shots and thus make selling event shots an easy and unobtrusive to the rest of the site kind of process. WooCommerce, while powerful, is an utter clunkery for something like...

So, what does NIK do that shop can't? Or is it just a clever collection of good presets for any situation imaginable + usual manual tweaks? I do most adjusts by hand when needs be (playing with contrast and colors if I'm making a B/W, etc), and I can't really imagine what ACR lacks on almost any...

Curious how you guys edit/save/etc. My own grew towards: Using bridge/shop/adobe raw- applying a rough RAW preset using first couple of shots > approve label/fine-tune in raw tool since it saves edits in a .xmp > sort by label once everything is done > use image processor from shop tools in...

And #3

Interesting, and I have some vacay shots from last week for this one. #1

Like the artistic slump, when I feel like total #$%^ and have no idea what to really do to get out. Improving my shots would most likely help, and though NAS is never the answer to that, I do want to allocate funds in the long-run benefit instead of eating through them. Choices are: 28-70 2.8...

@alfaholic I too prefer to squeeze everything out of most shots in a similar way and to me, that separates getting the most out of/using a proper camera from all the cellphone wannabes as well as complete amateurs that shoot jpegs. Only area thus far where too much is bad, is portraiture.

Definitely agree with @Rick on this one - couple high quality lenses and a solid body > everything else. When budget is still an issue and you're looking for something brand new to you, then you get what you can afford, but once you have something particular already, next step should be worth...
