Chad, thank you. As usual, I like the way you think, and I understand and agree with what you said. I don't think it really conflicts with what I also said. It did answer my questions though. For...

I've never really understood this particular discussion. Focal length isn't that important except when you need consider it because you can't get to the position you want, or because you need some...

I'm not sure about what you're saying. Why would I have to get on the stage to shoot a close-up with a prime lens? Most really long lenses are prime lenses. The OP's cruddy super ratio zoom only...

Prior to doing a wedding for money, make sure you have your new camera. A D600 is not really that robust for use as a professional body, but will work for a while. I'd actually rather see you with...

I agree with everything you said except the need to be in Aperture Priority mode. I think being in Program mode would be better. It will automatically choose the widest aperture when it must. P...

I'd love to be locked into CS6 and the current version of Adobe Camera RAW. Do it to me, except one big thing. Let me be able to buy camera modules for new cameras over the years.

You see, this...

Yes there are types of photography which benefit from IS on a short prime, but the best form of stabilization would usually be a tripod. Your shot certainly would have benefited from a tripod. On...

For one thing, it is a huge price issue. Secondly, many of us have been using Photoshop so long, changing workflows comes as a huge issue with moving to alternative software. There is also a very...

The problem is these arrogant Winston Hendrickson types think seasoned amateurs and small business professionals think we should be using LightRoom. This whole thing is made up garbage. They claim...

Just curious, but why did you buy that camera and that lens, especially if you're not willing to learn exposure and photography? Seriously, why did you choose Aperture Priority? Why did you choose...

Stu, you might wish to look at Paint Shop Pro by Corel. I haven't used it in years but it seems to be fairly good. They support adjustment layers. I'll have to look at composite imaging. I'm...

The way I look at it is that Adobe is leaving photographers who like Photoshop behind. I spend a couple of hundred dollars every year and a half to two years and buy most every upgrade offered...

The more I look at them, the more I agree with Brian here. It looks to me like the polarizer darkened things a bit as they will, but the camera was exposing for the bright clouds which further...

It's hard to tell on the bottom image. It looks to me like there's a line near the horizon where the foreground is in the shadow of a cloud. Only you can know this. You ask what you're doing wrong....

Just for the heck of it, how are you going to hold that camera still for long exposures wthout a tripod? Even a monopod probably won't do it very successfully on a regular basis. We're talking way...

I would guess it is a cost saving thing. Maybe all the developing is done at some centralized location while the digitized scans are sent back over an IP network, probably the internet. The disk...

Hey, thanks my friend. Wonderful work. :-)

Thank you for your kind words. Years ago, and I don't know the history exactly, the camera makers decided that around 50mm would be considered normal for 35mm cameras. Something to do with being...

Every time I get to thinking about purchasing a new mid-zoom like the 24-120 or the 24-70, I think about how often I use my current 35-70 f/2.8 AFD. I then forget about it. I know it's just my love...

Welcome to our world. Let me explain what Zoom means. First of all, understand "focal length." This is in millimeters and tells you how much reach or telescopic the lens is or the opposite. Imagine...
