So I made my 1st order from Nations. Two art prints for a customer, and a few for me. 1 with a border came out cut slightly off (should have expected), but another... a sailboat with a clear horizon line, came out off kilter, leaning to the right. Drives me insane to the point that I can't...

I'm glad I stumbled across this place and all the friendly banter/advice/camaraderie... so to all, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! May your day/weekend be full of fun, food and family! (and lots of photos so you can look back and smile for many years to come!)

Yup, October is the month of Halloween... Lots of channels out in the cable world go "All Scary" for the month, but IMO, there just aren't that many truly scary movies being put out these days. The original Exorcist used to get me, but not so much any more. The Shining was a good goose bump...

It finally happened... After many attempts to stir my wife's "interest" in photography with the D3100, and her answering with a "not my thing", a situation has risen for which she would like a nicer photograph when it can't be scheduled for me to shoot (which I help with as often as I can)...

Do any of you display photos on a digital photo frame? There are LOTS of pics I'd like to have at my desk (to remind myself why I'm here, at times) but don't want to print and frame all of those pics, so have been considering a digital photo frame. I thought to myself, "Self, surely there are...

So... while snapping pics of some STUNNING sunsets and beach skies, I noticed the dreaded "dust spots of doom". Same place every time, small round spots (easily removed in PS CC, btw) and irritating. I have NEVER cleaned my sensor before, but am willing to give it a go, but I'm wondering...

Found this article recently, and... well... it just hit home with me, so thought I'd share. It was something I needed to hear/read, for sure. Essay :: The Mess & The Boredom & The Work · DEDPXL

I know... I should only post 1 pic, but this time it's 2 with the same hope. I was trying to catch a feel of "Summer Fun", showing the carnival and the fun people were having on the rides, etc. RIP 'EM UP! Which one is best? Does either work, or neither? Different looks needed? Both are...

April 19, 1995 - A man with malicious intent parked a rental truck, packed with explosives, on NW 5th Street with the intent to do extreme damage to the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. At 9:02 a.m., that huge homemade bomb went off, shearing off the entire north face of the building...

So... I happened to win a 20x30 print from a great photographer in the Colorado area (truly a beautiful shot) and am looking at getting it framed without killing the bank. Are there any online resources anyone has used and trusts, or should I just wait for the sale pricing to hit at the local...

Well, the first 5 days are in the books. Aside from a lot of drool and "cool" factor, it's been a much different experience! I'll try to document some of my rediscovered rookie floundering here, and discuss a couple of the major differences. Remember, when reading this viewpoint, I was a VERY...

Mad (crazy mad, not angry mad) bald guy with a new piece of equipment here, and on the prowl! Can't wait to delve into the tips and tricks in my new section. ;) 1st victory, discovering how to go from the auto-focus grid to a single AF point. 2nd victory, quick shutter AND aperture control...

It may be just me, but... There are often times when a new person will join the forums, and in their first post, list all of their equipment, a specific situation, and ask a question, and they're greeted with this: To me, it just seems impersonal, as it does nothing to answer their question...

Lightroom Mobile for the iPad has been announced. Interesting..... Here is the info straight from Adobe as well. Looks like it's free as long as you have LR 5 on your desktop/laptop already.

Just wanted to let myself know I was committed to this. ;) About to head out on a New Year's sales day with the wife, so perhaps I'll stumble across a shot or two for day 1! ;) Stay tuned!

So in one of the FB groups I frequent, they often refer to the "Money Making Mat", which is a script for Elements and PS that plops your photo crop onto a black border before you save it to reduce the number of edits you have to provide to a customer when giving them a disk full of digital...

So, what are the thoughts on buying a refurb vs. new? New: 326.95, 1 year warranty. Refurb: 289.00, 90 day warranty. Worth losing the 9 months of warranty on a flash for the 37.95 in savings?

1/640 at f5.6, ISO 800, 70-300 VR at 300mm. Edited a bit for sharpness and contrast in LR5, and was cropped to portrait orientation from a landscape photo. The mat(border) comes from a script I was messing with in PS to make images printable in any size without actually cropping off parts of...

So far, I've had a bit of success in outdoor family photo sessions. I've got a 5-in-1 reflector/diffuser combo set, and will be piecing together a workable portable studio lighting set (Thanks, John, for the "DIY Cheap" thread!) until I can afford bigger steps, but until then, I'm targeting the...

So... if a photographer were going to do a family portrait session for a family with *5* (FIVE) <<insert LOTS here>> kids, would other photographers have any tips for him perhaps?? :cool: Yup, looks like I've got a challenge ahead of me! I have NEVER shot such a large family group, but I...
