Straps fall squarely into the "you get what you pay for" department.

Don't ever stop experimenting, Marcel. Trying different things is the only way we grow and get better. Sometimes we miss the mark, so you just have to move on to something else. Portraits are very easy to over-tweak. There is a fine line between just enough and too much. I've taken the...

Re: Is this lens/filter combo "overkill"? (Nikon 50mm, 3 filters + wide angle) I think you may be related to this guy:

New backdrop from SayCheeseBackgrounds.com arrived today. I purchased an 18% grey from the Classics series (#C1200), and I must say this is the most well constructed backdrop I've ever seen. They are dyed and sewn by hand and just reek of quality. The backdrop is so thick, it's more like...

I'm probably the last person on these boards you thought would posting this. However, it needs to be said... Steve Jobs was a megalomaniac. He was a tyrannical leader who belittled his employees and demanded perfection, often going off on obscene tirades and forcing them to work insane hours...

Vanishing Point Weekly Challenge October 5-12 The winner of the Commercial Photography challenge was jengajoh. She issued this challenge and will be judging the entries. A vanishing point is a point in a perspective drawing or photo to which parallel lines not parallel to the image plane...

I've been playing a bit of devil's advocate on this one. This one is most likely (95%) real: ELA (Error Level Analysis) compares areas of a photo against each other to determine anomalies. If something were amiss, we would see a sharp outline here or a stark contrast between black and white...

I think ultimately what this boils down to is... Unless you're posing with props and making an effort to create a scene, a baby in a bathtub is for lack of a better term, just a snapshot. It's one of those photos that people simply just take on their cell phones. There's not really much one...

In light of some recent news, I need to start collecting some studio props for baby photos. If anyone has some ideas or links to share, it would be much appreciated. I have already ordered a hand-knit baby hammock from eBay, and also have my eye on some of those cute elf hats. In particular...

We've kept this top secret for a few months now, but...there's a bun in the oven, and it's a boy! My wife is due 1/26/12. This was a surprise for us. She is 40, and I'm 36, so it's not exactly something we planned for. We have 3 kids between us already, my 12 year old daughter/10 year old...

Danbo w/ falling leaves

It kind of does. Since the iInvasion (iPod/iPhone/iPad), Apple has a firm grip on the smartphone and doodad market, but they are still very much in the extreme minority when it comes to computers. Most Mac users are creatives and techie start-ups (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). They're far...

Dylan Paintings Draw Scrutiny Apparently Bob Dylan has taken to painting lately. The only problem is, he's copying his works from photographs. Bob Dylan has been under the microscope for this kind of thing before, as lyrics in several of his songs are very similar to known works of poetry...

Feathers

At first, I was thinking: Then I realized that just wasn't enough: But in seeing the massive negative response, it's really:

I remember doing a project like this for a class. You have too much in your frame. If you're going to fill the frame, make it something like a wall of stone or old wooden shingles...something with a repeating pattern that also shows texture: I think your lettuce is a bit overexposed, or...

This image by Anis Mili is coming under fire for possibly being a fake. It was first run by Reuters, and then pulled when speculation began that this one might not be on the up and up. Mili has spent a lot of time in Libya and in other conflicts, and has quite a portfolio of impressive wartime...

Pretty much everything you posted is ass-backwards and defies real world applications, but that's irrelevant at this point. I'll explain in more detail how all of this works, and then this thread will be locked...because even after everything I'm about to post, something new will arise...like...
