Potrait or wedding work can take a month, as long as delivery time is spelled out beforehand. Event work usually require fast turnaround - sometimes same day partial delivery, for web or internal press.

Need to work on your post a little. Shadows mostly too deep, a lot of detail lost/buried. Move the gamma line a little.

Fluorescent lighting oscillates at 50Hz. You get those half shaded pics when your shutter speed is too fast. Drop it to 1/50s or slower, or use flash.

Try adjusting the wand parameters? Threshold or something like that. When's it's too strict the selected area is very small, too loose it selects too much.

Sion for the much needed injection of humour, Deadpoet for the bitingly straight feedback. Vince123123 was quite helpful with a lot the legal stuff too, but probably got into one too many overheated discussions. There were many many more in Clubsnap's earlier years but a lot them seemed to have...

Don't use an iphone screen. Get a small properly calibrated gray card (got mine from Cathay, $25 iirc), it gives you the correct WB as well as the correct exposure. Don't shoot jpeg, unless you work very slowly. If you shoot jpeg with a corrected custom WB setting, a suddenly change in WB (eg...

You are better off trying to get hold of the original soft copies. Lab prints are at 240 dpi, so it doesn't matter if you get a better scanner. The protective film on the prints, as well as the optical/scanner system further degrade the transfer process. You end up with each picture having less...

FYI, the difference between f1.8 and f2 is 23.5% of a stop, less than 1/4, not 1/3 stop.

From what i've gathered about your requirements - fast moving subjects, want a recent model, budget not an issue - i recommend the 1Dmk4. Not full-frame but i think it's the best fit within the current Canon line. As an aside i also echo the sentiments of the many posters here who recommend...

- Does the music stop immediately when the speakers are unplugged from the PC/laptop? This is to verify that the speakers themselves are not acting as antenna and picking a signal on their own (although i cannot fathom how speakers can decode FM signals without any hardware - as some earlier...

Nikon is a camera company. Imaging sensors are electronic chips, have to be made by electronic companies with waferfab capability. We'd be more likely to see sensors from Casio or Samsung (or even Intel) before seeing one from Nikon (or Leica, or Zeiss, or any pure camera-making company). Sony...

"What your eye sees", or "normal" viewpoint refer to the most natural image produced on that particular sensor size (aka film format in the olden days) without any wide angle distortion and without telescopic cropping. This angle of view is defined by the sensor size. The focal length that...

First the mirror drops off the 5Ds, now the rubber grips are peeling off the 7Ds and 60Ds. Canon is using very strange ways to cut costs. Wonder what will start falling out in the future models.

i think you're confusing MUP with service pay. MUP for the missing work days based on fulltime job salary, service based on the actual time in SAF, based on rank/vocation. You should get service pay for Saturday, but not MUP. RT is service pay, not MUP.

Something seems to be wrong with the data. Maybe the survey sample was too small. Jordanians are either top or second in every single category, making them the world's most intolerant people by a huge margin.
