I am curious to know the answer to this. It could apply to just about any camera out there but, since I own and shoot a D90 I will ask it here. While in continuous frame advance mode, or burst mode, does the AF system continue to focus, or track, the subject? For example, when I press the...

I know, not another request for a special forum section. But look and see if this is viable. I am looking for a place to ask a technical question that could apply to just about any camera out there. A technical question that has absolutely nothing to do with the lens, the camera model or any...

I just wanted to acknowledge that I realize I have been a little less active here the past week. There are several reasons and none have to do with anyone or anything here on the forum. One, I have just been a little exhausted lately. A lot of stuff has been requiring my attention and time...

Now the bad. These have been cropped just for this post to show the out of focus clearly. Other than cropped they have no processing done. I don't know yet how I did this but on several of these shots, and these shots only, I missed focus of the eyes and got focus on the feet. I was quite...

And remember I said my very first shot was a group photo with no direct sunlight available? Here is that first shot that was almost blown out using two Vivitar 283's at each flanking corner of the group at 45 degrees to the camera. The flash units were just outside the frame of the camera so...

And here is just one shot that will show how close and where I placed the reflector panel and the gold disc that was cropped out of frame when processed.

Here are all of the shots that I put in the first post. This is out of camera, nothing done except resized to 1000px on the long side and at 96ppi. No crop, no levels adjust, nothing.

I just noticed this but it ticks me off that they didn't follow the posing chart I gave them. I gave the coach a printed chart showing exactly where to place the girls and how to line them up. He was doing that as I got my gear set up and ready. First row is seated on grass, six girls across...

Since the group portrait will probably be the most popular photo I made aspect ratio crops for 8x10, 8x12, 5x7 and 4x6 so that they fit the sizes correctly. I also added some school graphics to the group portraits to make them more "school like". I made this an option photo though as not all...

Got her done! This was my very first paid gig. I was hired to do the yearly team portraits for a local middle school girls soccer team. I have made some proof prints (drug store machines) and they look very good. That is likely what the parents are going to do anyway is get drug store prints...

This afternoon is the outdoor shoot of the girls soccer team. I am doing individual portraits and a team group shot. Weather should be nice but will be slightly overcast, which is in my favor, but I wanted to go for a specific look to the photos. I want that "sports trading card" look where...

My brother bought this and had it shipped from California to Alabama a couple years ago. He has restored it from ground up and painted it correct color for its year. It is also an almost identical copy of the Chief Brody police Blazer from Jaws, which was his intent. He took the photo and...

I see some blooming in the yard. I really liked these two shots.

Here are some more shots with the 50mm reversed lens. These are 100% crops or uncropped as shot. These flowers are small. Maybe 10mm across in diameter.

Since he allows image editing I took the liberty of doing some Light Room edits and got this. I could not get any EXIF data from the photo. Edited with LightRoom

I have an outdoor shoot coming up and I want to make sure I have my bases covered. I have one of those 42" 5-in-1 reflector discs but I think I might need something larger for this outdoor shoot. I wanted a large light reflector panel but I have no intentions of spending a lot of money on one...

I noticed there is no forum specifically for processing and printing images for customer sales so I guess I will try it here. I do not have a calibrated monitor and will not have for quite a while. I still would like to get the best color quality and correct colors with the prints I send to...

From the salvage yard last week

One of my best friends coaches a girls high school soccer team. He just emailed me and offered me the opportunity to do this years team portraits. I told him I would love the opportunity but I have no idea how it is sold or priced. I assume the photos are taken and posted and then the parents...

I am. Was supposed to have been deposited before today. It is not here and my status still says "Being Processed". Unable to get a live human at the IRS, I called the 1-800-829-1040 refund help line. At the first prompt you have to choose "1" to continue in English. :rolleyes: Imagine that...
