I just got done looking at a friends wedding shoot. I started noticing this smudge in the pictures. All pictures. She has done weddings for a while. But, no improvement. What I laughed at the most was that people posted on her page, that they were orbs. Faces weren't in focus at all. The...

September 3rd would be my 23rd year in the Post Office as a letter carrier. I got the chance to take a full time custodial job at my office. It's a once in a lifetime chance to get this job and I decided to take it. Since my neck surgery I have been waiting for an opportunity to put less stress...

My daughters friend has gotten into photography only recently. Had only a mid size point and shoot to do her work. She has done all right with still photos and family photos. She came to me for some advice to doing weddings. I only do an occasional one here and there. She had just purchased a...

Having been getting into the horse scene. We have quite a few ranches that do mostly barrel racing and trail rides. Since this was inside, lighting was a challenge. Near the end the riders had no problem with flash. So, next event flash.

If anyone has noticed, I haven't been on much. I have been busy mostly with my job. A lot of extra hours and days. Pretty much all work and no play makes Clay a dull boy. I have been busy with my sons plays and taking pictures for the actors. I am working on new postcards for the area and also...

I have known this for a few weeks. But, due to long work hours and getting sick I haven't done much on here. I got 2 of my photos printed in my local tour guide for 2015. The double page is the background picture. No monetary but, 80,000+ copies in NY and surrounding states.

This year is going to be quite busy for me. New grandchild, the demands of my local postcards and greeting cards. a few weddings and portraits. Maybe, even a few contests. So, I will post most of my pictures on this post. I might be on here lurking while working on pictures and put up a shot of...

Just watched this video. Not sure if already posted. I tried it and I like it. Why Auto ISO+Manual Mode Is the 'Best' Auto Exposure Mode

I haven't been on as much. I have been busy with family photos, weddings and Christmas party photos. I recently took a shot of our local park after a snow fall. It went viral and I decided on making greeting cards. I have made postcards for the last several years, with no great profit. Just a...

My son wakes me up last weekend around 2am. Dad the refrigerator line is leaking. Went down and shut off the small valve. Next morning valve didn't shut off all the way and still leaked. Got materials to repair Wednesday. Son wakes me up Tuesday night and says "dad pipe in laundry room is...

I had this similar topic a few months ago. Today I went to a relatives benefit. I told her I would take some pictures while I was there. I figured nothing fancy. I had been there for about an hour shooting. I had my 610, SB700, 2 lenses- my old 70-300/4.5 and an older 35-70/3.3. I tried a few...

Now I don't participate in a lot of stuff on here. But, for a person who has been a member for as long as me comes on and puts up great shots for the monthly challenge and has not been heard from in months, should not be allowed to compete unless they at least say hi to us once a month...

I have been on this forum for over 3 years now. I'm still not a big commenter and I sometimes forget to like a picture on here. I read all the interesting post topics. Most of the time I don't comment due to the question being answered or I don't have an answer. I'm not the type to jump into a...

On my way to the hospital I got to see a fantastic orange sun through the fog. I wish I had my camera. So, used cell phone. I love to here people say they can get just as good of a picture with their phone. BS!!! I myself know it's not true.

Umbilical hernia surgery this morning.

I went out last night to shoot fireworks. I set everything up and when the time came the remote started acting up. But, it was telling me not to shoot tonight anyway. After the first set of fireworks the smoke started drifting in my direction and started blocking the other ones going up.

I recently got asked to do photos for a bed and breakfast. I had already done one session at the B+B and have to do at least two more, if not three. I don't know what to charge or how to charge. I'm leaning toward an hourly rate. It is also 60 miles round trip. What is the average going rate for...

I never noticed this before, not sure why. After processing photo and filing it, I noticed that the picture went from a single photo of 300dpi to 72 dpi after processing 3 photos..

I just got the 105/f4 macro lens with extension tube. One thing I enjoy is macro work. I couldn't even wait to change out of my Postal clothes. Here are the ones I did today.
