Neat.

How did you do that? The black box and click to expose actual photo?

I inserted a hyperlink and instead of typing something like "click here" I censored my picture saved it to photobucket in case anyone's children are looking on. and inserted the [img/] code instead of typing.

I home I'm making sense.:confused:



@ken

Most photo uploading sites compress the image unless you buy a premium membership. my camera shoots at ~3000 pixels but photobucket maxes sizes at 1080. The only site I have found that wont change the resolution and does not steal rights to your photos is Deviant art. Also certain color formats will not be accurate on the web.

VERY INTERESTING! The two photos below from picassa and flikr respectively, demonstrate VERY different color balances when viewed in firefox on my computer. HOWEVER, when I copied the image to my desktop and loaded it in photoshop (the "true" test of color) they proved to be identical........

The only thing I can say between them is that picassa uses a lot more sharpening when uploading.

Then it is the color profile.

This article should shed more light on it.

I'm sure I could put together a decent fiver as a reward... :)


Also, if someone has one they want to get rid of for smokes, I could DEFINITELY hook something good up for it. ;)

Just picked up these for product photography at work.

I don't know a derned thing about product photography, and only slightly more about studio work in general, so this should keep me amused for a few very hectic shooting days.....

Pillar of Selby Library

Shot in a stand of Australian PinesModel:Stephy

Film and Paper were both donated by Justin (McSmokey). And they have been put to good use. thank you Justin!

I also masked just the truck and threw a high pass filter on it. Im happy with it considering the radiant heat coming off the track.

What's the best/cheapest way to get into photography? I have a Canon 590IS, and I love taking pictures. I just lose any type of quality when the lighting is not Ideal. I love taking sports photos, but the action is usually too fast, and not enough light.

Can I get a decent lens to put on my 590 IS(a), or am I better off getting a DSLR(b)? I know option B will cost me much more than A.

Any insight is apreciated.

Actually its more likely the lens would cost more than the body. Im pretty sure you cant interchange lenses with your particular camera. An entry level DSLR with kit lens (or two if you find a package) Canons T1i with 18-55 is a great setup the other way to go is the Nikon D5000 route Both in the $800 range. Its really a matter of preference. Most guys here are canon fans and really they are great either way IMO. Canon is cheaper in the long run.

If you are looking for point and shoot most of them don't perform great in low light. An easy way around this is to use a tripod.

Or you could get a used Canon 20d or 30d and a nifty fifty for less than $500. The nifty fifty would be good in both the situations you mention, low light and sports.
