    OK, a stupid "which detector is better" question :rolleyes:

    I used to have a Garrett 1250, 1500, and a couple of other detectors that all got sold due to lack of use. Now I don't want to get into a Minelab vs Garrett debate, but as I exclusively hunt older, trashier parks in search of old coins, I found that my Minelab Explorer was getting all the usage...

    I haven't posted in a while, so ... are you ready for some football :)

    I shot so much baseball this year that I was going to take the fall off and skip football. I have a cell phone that I only use for my photography business and it's been sitting on my desk turned off since August. About a week ago for some reason I turned it and found a half dozen calls from a...

    A "How'd they do that" question

    I haven't been in here for quite a while, looks like the place has been busy though. :) Anyway, I ran across this photo and after several minutes of study I can't come up with a answer on how they shot it. I am of course assuming that it isn't Photoshopped. It appeared in a Chicago newspaper...

    Photoshop

    I am doing a web site for my son who is in the Air Force. This is the photo on the main page. Unfortunately, since it is for a web page I had to optimize the heck out of this to load reasonably fast. It ain't the greatest but I haven't had anything else to post in a while so I figured it would...

    Hey RM!!! As the Grand Poobah of this forum I've got a question for you. :cool:

    I don't want this to come across wrong, but what is this forum for? I frequent several photo forums and all the others have a purpose. The PhotoSig forum is a great place to have people rate and critique your photos. The DPReview and Fred Miranda forums are essentially question and answer venues...

    San Antonio

    I spent a few days down in the San Antonio area for my son's graduation from Air Force basic training. The first two photos were shot on a visit to the downtown River Walk area, the last one is self explanatory. The whole River Walk area is a wonderful blending of light and shadows due to the...

    Finished up a product shoot today

    I had to shoot this job twice as the first attempt was very unacceptable. Initially I tried to shoot with 4 500w halogen lights, although 2,000 watts of light sounds like a lot it was not enough. Due to the slow shutter speeds the pictures were grainy, soft focused, and the halogens cast some...

    Wow! This place shows signs of life ...

    I haven't been in here in a while but it looks like the place has been busy in my absence. Some good stuff has been posted, makes me want to get out and shoot a little myself now. I have a new toy that is supposed to be delivered today, a 24-70mm f/2.8. That will be in addition to the two studio...

    Salvaging High ISO Shots

    Last weekend I shot a cheer competition that was indoors with no flash allowed. I used two lenses, a Canon 50mm f/1.4 and a Canon 85mm f/1.8. Even with the fast glass I had to bump up my ISO to get decent shutter speed. Although the 20D is a very good camera at reducing noise at high ISO's it...

    Favorite lens, or lenses, and why?

    Let's hear what everyone's favorite lens is and why. I currently own 5 lenses and each of them is pretty much a tool for a specific job. I really can't say any of them are a favorite because they each have their own nitch. 3 of my lenses are primes (50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8 & 400mm f/5.6) and...

    Saturday football shoot

    I shot 6 football games yesterday, processed all the photos, and then put them on my web site for on-line sales. All told, it turned out to be about 14 hours worth of work. Hopefully I get a few sales. Anyway, here are a few shots from the day. One of the techniques I am trying to work on was...

    Hey RM! Here's a lens to add to your collection. :)

    Just read the article, you'll understand it's purpose. :razz: http://www.smartofficenews.com.au/Computing/Presentation_Tools?article=/Computing/Presentation%20Tools/News/F2W6W7H5

    Football season officially started today

    I am always trying to improve my photography skills and find ways to make my photos more sell-able. Obviously the spectacular Sports Illustrated type plays are an easy sell. But they don't happen very often and even when they do they are usually screened, out of range, or occur when I am...

    Great sports photography information

    Paul Alesse took these photos of the recent Little League games. He does some fantastic work and is by far the best youth sports photographer I have run across. The first link is to his web site and the second outlines how he sells his photographs at the events. All the rest of the links are to...

    Shot a baseball tournament this weekend.

    I photographed 18 games in 2 days. 9 hours a day on my feet in the hot sun really takes a toll on this old body. We did on-site printing and although we did OK sales wise I think if we make a few adjustments we could probably triple on-site sales. The biggest problem was people didn't want to...

    Air show photos

    Here are a few photos from todays air show. I'm not real happy with any of them. There were a number of factors that were out of my control. It was real hazy out, the sun always seemed to be at a bad angle and most of the planes were out of range for my 200mm. Of course my new 400mm broke and...
