    Photos for Hotels and Restaurants

    Hi everyone, I am starting to get curious about where Hotels and Restaurants get their wall photos. I recently stayed in a hotel and they had big (36"x?) pictures of basic stuff like train tracks, buildings, etc. I was with a few other guests and met them in their rooms and...

    First Time Trying Long Exposures

    I want to learn how to take long exposures, I purchased a set of ND filters for daytime. One thing I noticed is that the longer I kept the shutter open, the longer it took to appear on my display screen. Is this normal? I have a D5200. I tried one for about a minute and it took about 30 seconds...

    Street Photography Question

    I've seen numerous street photos with a lot of people in the foreground, background, etc. My question is, before you take the shot, do you ask the people if it is OK to photograph them or do you snap the picture without them knowing? Some photos show the people as they are walking by and they...

    Removing My Signature From Photo

    I thought this would be easy but I'm finding out otherwise. (Probably my fault though) I have Elements 12 and edited a photo and then added my signature to it.

    What to charge for a photo

    I was wondering what the "Going Rate" is for a photo if someone wants to purchase it. I am not a Pro, but I like to take "different" styles of photos and play with them in Adobe to enhance them. I have a Flikr page so people can view them. So what do I do/charge if someone approaches me and asks...

    Phottix Mitros Flash

    Just bought my first flash for my D5200. I was all set to buy the Nikon SB-700 but when I went to the photo store, the guy talked me into the Phottix Mitros. He said that it is more powerful and a better built flash for the same money. Has anybody used this brand? It was very easy to hook up and...

I'm sure some of them make it to a spot on the wall in your home/apartment/cabin...etc. My question is, is there a rule about keeping the style/color of frames the same in the same room or in the same house? (If you start with a black...
