I need a quality printer that will print reliable high quality model and actor portfolio prints whom I can submit images to on-line and who will build a long term business partnership with me as I build my headshot photography business. This means - i am not interested in nameless / faceless...

photographersi magazine on the iPad edited by the awesome Michael Freeman - and secondly Scott Kelby's LightIt magazine (also iPad). Amazing mix of real tips, sod all advertising and very quick and easy to read articles

I just put up a post on my blog about this so you can read the longer form version there. I like lightroom and there is no doubt there are some cool features in the new version that make a significant difference to LR3 - not to mention the new processing algorithms. But the one thing LR...

I was in the studio last week and spending some time practising lighting. I used the iPad to help control and review the shoot. What a great tool - great mobility and a heap of functionality. I did a more complete write up on my Blog at...

Ok so ya don't want to spend alot of time learning how to use the camera to the max. At least learn the basics and use av and tv modes and get used to using the dial to flip up and down and your holiday snaps will be sooo much better. If you are going to just use auto the whole time then just...

Have had this before on a Mac. Reboot and try only a few of the pics. Suspect there must be some internal defect that gets triggered sometimes.

Check out velbon for high quality light weight tripods. I picked one up in the UK a few years back but have noticed them around town recently.

Spectacular summary - while not definitive it is very informative - I am going to try and dig a bit anyway as I am still interested in the backing legalities locally. Thanks a heap for the links

Ironically the near unanimous opinion here is that the battery grip is great from an ergonomic view. Unlikely to ever need for the battery life although the AA backup option might be useful in some remote locations ?? I dont like it personally and sold mine on - even with my heavy lenses am ok...

1 model and 2 photographers. Outdoor strobist. All amateurs. Pm if interested with portfolio. Model photo to shortlist. Location to selected.

I would keep 2 bags. Sometimes easier to control 2 separate pieces of gear

I have been trying something similar. If you are just simply trying to print and not too fussed with paper and are happy with simple photography paper (which is pretty damned good) and after simple 18 x 12 (close to A3) inch shot then just save your print to jpeg and take it down to a local...

I am curious (and not complaining) that a forum of photographers don't know their rights. Ignorance may be bliss but it remains ignorance. Wow - that is not a very collaborative attitude and from a moderator too !! Anyway - I will explore the answers and when I get them - yes I will be...

This is the best advice. Keep shooting until you have enough knowledge to know what you want to do. Do you need a diff focal length or do you want a sharper image. My first lens was the 24-70L. Same focal length that I had with an amazing increase in image quality. If in doubt rent a lens...
