Oh hey! don't get me wrong...I love natural light I am a huge natural light shooter, and use it solely when can...... But what I should have said is don't put limitations on yourself. I mean if you can learn iso settings, f/ stops, and EV value you are already over the hump.

lol i know iso f-stops, ev and all that jazz. just not sure where to position flash guns when doing studio work.

Got a nice belated Christmas present from myself yesterday. I'm going to be paying it off for awhile but I think it was worth it. Hopefully I can put it to good use.

Very nice... A whole new ball game with 1D series! Congrats!

zeng...LUCKY!

hmmm. pros and cons. i'm not sure. i like that i can recover almost anything. provided it was backed up in time machine. My work computer is backed up every hour. and then out IT guy backs up the external taht i have backing up the main HDD.

con is that apple reccomends that you have an external back up the HDD. Too bad not all externals are all THAT reliable. i lost around 200 photos from 06-2005 to 08-2005. since i didn't get to burn those to CDs yet.



did that make sense? i hope so. O_O.

You scare me =/

Yeah, I just bought another ext HD so I could free up my internal HD. That USB cable transfer is very slow. Now I will have two ext HDs (different brands) and DVDs as backups. I ordered 100 Taiyo Yuden DVDs yesterday. Researched them to be most reliable for archive.

I should do that as well.

Do you guys think 2 ex-hd's (have 1 right now) and a dvd copy should be good? I had a close encounter with losing all my photos on my old laptop and that really scared the shat out of me

its what i do.

i figure whats the worst that can happen? If i lost a keeper, then its my fault i didnt back it up.

so far so good though. i have photos backed up from the mid 90s. LOL. Hurray scanners.

dam, either you guys are all paranoid or im not worried enough

Hurray for late-night boredom!

Me.

I'd put a piece of tape or a drop of glue on the toe screw. I lost 2 of them already. Its the black screw on the left of the camera.

And some from the photoshoot! On my screen the backgrounds look completely white. However, when I have looked on less bright screens I have noticed that the background is not completely washed out. I need to fix that in photoshop or something, and maybe kick up my background lights a little next time.

And a couple more...

I think I missed the focus on the first one and hit the basketball, and the second one I needed some gobos on the side lights.

Works for me. Is Chani almost done with school?

the one with the tounge sticking...top seems slightly washed cause of the flash. but thats just me.

When you lose stuff, you become a little more paranoid.
