That's more like it Allen! Should shut the haters up pretty quick

Thanks bro,

I just can't believe I went all these years not knowing you could change the default or that if I did it could really make a difference.

Ya can't blame the ones looking and saying, this guys got all that experience and all that great glass and he can't get sharp images. And its frustrating on my end because you know the image is really really sharp but it ain't show'n up like that.

Well from this point on I know and hopefully with a little luck the stuff that I post will all look a lot sharper.

Makes me wonder if some of the others that use PB and that have softer images have not changed the default. If you're out there change it. It does make a difference.

Unfortunately, unless you can host your own photos, you are at the mercy of someone else's server and software. I know with some places (I think photobucket is one of them), it will automatically resize your photos if they are too large, so I always try to resize mine before uploading.

You can actually set or change the default size/setting in photobucket to upload at a larger size. I honestly never knew that and its so easy to do.

You are right about being at their mercy and even though its a ton better its still not the quality I would like to see.

Beautiful shots!

I purposely don't upload at too large a size. I usually make my uploads around 800 pixels, enough to post here, but small enough so others can't download and print them out, at least at any decent size anyway.

Oh My !!

so im doing this job for a company that i work with and the girls were all getting thier hair done to show updues for thier clients. We were taking before and afters but this girl didnt get a before shot done. So she walks out and my jaw almost hit the floor. No modeling experience at all but she's 5' 9", about 105 lbs, probably a size 1 and had runway written all over her. So I asked her if she had ever been infront of a camera or done any type of modeling----- nope was the answer.

These are straight off the camera, NOTHING done at all other than a crop. I think im going to send the finals to an agent i can trust to look at. I thought the girl was stunning and ive asked her if she would like to come do some shots in the studio

Mike, that is pretty weird that such a pretty and photogenic girl has really no experience with this

But great results so far. I can imagine the quality of the end results after some PP. Good job and be sure to follow up with us if she does come to you for another shoot.

lol, I was like man...tough crowd...5 days and no comments

Mentospure - love the cup shot. Nice lighting - well done.

When I have my camera set to live view with my CyberSync (or any other remote) set to fire my strobe the camera captures the image but the strobes will not fire? suggestions?

EDIT:
After searching I found you have to have live view silent mode set to disable, mine was on mode 1
