I like the shots of the kids. Don't understand why there is a guy with a blowtorch and a shot of flowers. Think about the presentation of your pictures as a whole, not just each photo...

"Gee, I sure wish I could be a part in some bum's witty commentary on life, because I don't have better things to do." Congratulations. You've accomplished what you've set out to do. (I could...

Hear Hear! All boke and nothing else. Glad I'm not the only person that find these kind of pictures worthless. -Suntan

The profiles are just stored in a folder. You can delete them, then restart your editing program and they should be gone. I don't know where they are located on Macs. -Suntan

As DIY said, set any remote 560II to S1 mode and it will flash whenever the camera mounted flash or the flash connected to your RF trigger fires. -Suntan

I agree that the two subjects need to be separated better from the background. But I don't necessarily think it needs to be removed. Adding a reflector just in front of the two and out of frame to...

I'm not saying that an image can't be improved by adding a white vignette. I'm just saying that from the time light first arrived in the universe, some 13.5 BILLION years ago, it has yet to...

First, you may want to adjust your grand proclamations to say that a person shouldn't use "on camera" direct flash too often. Direct flash off axis can offer a lot of compelling shots. Second,...

I think it is overly simplistic to think that one static image, frozen in time, can "accurately" portray a person when displayed on a screen or a piece of paper, as long as no fancy computer...

I don't know why one would need to bash anything about using the 300. Stop down a bit and it would make a fine portrait lens... assuming you have a nice long studio. Although I could understand...

The lighting looks a little flat. I'm ok with the reflector down low, but not a huge fan of the cross lighting with the main and fill.Also, I'm not a fan of the uneven background. White seamless...

Oh get off it guys.First of all, he didn't say (or even insinuate) that weight makes a person unattractive. He asked about both of them separately.He's got legitimate questions too. It is dead nuts...

I'd have to disagree with you. To me they all SCREAM the exact same thing, namely, "Hey, over here! Look at my hip and trendy comment on the human condition!"-Suntan

You certainly don't want to broad light the subject. No sleeveless outfits either. And learning to use "Liquify" in Photoshop can work very well in reducing or eliminating any bunches or bulges...

Yes, of course. Ignorance about a topic should be encouraged. Under no circumstance should it be considered polite to know what it is you are talking about before firing out a post.If only there...

I'd say give it a go with the lens you have. If they come out acceptably well, then use them. If not, reconsider having someone else take them.Basically, a decent portrait of two people can be made...

30mm huh. Rather see a new 28mm or even better, a 24mm 1.8.

Your point of view will be the exact same regardless of the lens used. Point of view is determined by the distance between the camera and the subject. Changing the focal length will not change...

FWIW, if you are looking for relative ease for backing up images, without having to deal with a lot of cables, I would suggest looking at a SATA Dock.I have one of these that I use to turn my older...
