I'm pretty sure the Bokeh effect is the smooth background blur taken when a small depth of field is selected, making the focal point stand out more. If I'm not right, please let me know :P

thank yoj so much everyone. I have already offered my services for free, and will keep doing so until I can achieve the portfolio that I want. I am also asking some of my friends to see if they want to dress up in their wedding dresses again, so I can practice and maybe put some pictures in my...

Fellow snappers, I have been an avid photographer for just over a year now, after graduating university with a degree in screen production, and I have begun to build a business based on photoimaging. But alas, I am in a bind. I have limited experience, but I believe I have the drive and...

Thanks guys, for everything. Especially the private messages. I know I sounded like a total n00b but I guess its better to find out now and swallow my pride. Thanks again, you guys have been a great help, as usual.

I know I'm going to sound like an absolute n00bie here, but I went to my printer the other day and found out that they cannot print greyscale prints?? I thought this was the only way to get my digital images to black and white easilly. Is there another way in PS? or any of the Canon utilities...

Hey Guys and Girls, I have placed my advertisement into the Yellow Pages (business directory) here in Brisbane, and I am expecting some business to roll in some time soon. Although I have asked constantly if I would be able to gain some work experience through nearly all the photographers in...

Hey guys, just thought I'd update you on my progress. I'm starting to figure out how to use the flashes. I'm reading up on as many lessons as possible on the web, and waiting for my flash meter and flash book to come in the mail. But I took this just before, with a plain black bed sheet as...

You guys were right, it was my shutter speed...plus I had the god dam light sensitivity up to 1600 which didnt help one bit. Now that's all fixed I'm messing around with colour temperatures and contrast. I only have a black bed sheet as my background at the moment, and one annoying brother for...

I figured out how to get them all firing. I just had to turn the cell switch on. I am an absolute newbie at this, and I know I must sound incredibly stupid. I'm also getting "half photos" :S. The top half of the image is over exposed and the lower half is all black. I don't have a flash...

Ok, here's mt story. I love photography, as most of us do. I have been extremely interested in studio photography so much that my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to purchase my first kit for a small home studio. I invested in a Visatec flash kit which includes a Solo 400B, 800B...

id like to know that too :P. I hear 250w is good for backlighting...should a monobloc be used for the main source of frontal fill light? Something around 500w? I'm not really sure, im just beginning. I might even rent a setup for a weekend and see what I can come up with.

Can anyone recommend a flash kit for a beginner? I have around $2400 AU saved up...not willing to spend all of that though :P. I'm really busting to get into some nice portraiture and do a few little studio shoots for my portfolio. Anyone know any decent brands? Kits available? Want to share...

geez, well that sucks haha :P. Thanks guys. You just saved me over $700. Looks like i'll just have to save up for a decent L lens then...but sooo expensive. Thanks once again guys, you've been great.

Hey Guys and Gals, I've been getting into sport photography recently, and I already have a 100-300mm USM sitting on the body of a 10D. Sometimes in big field sports, I can't really get close enough to the action with my lens, and I was wondering has anyone tried one of the 2x extenders on a...

thanks for the help guys....if i dont have the money to buy a decent flash setup...i might go grab some of those lights for temporary thing. I just need to get something to light subjects....natural light has too many imitations.
