CeasarsDad Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 Splint..Make sure you photos are no wider then 500 pix.. Can you re edit these? I LOVE the shot of max by the trash can.. PRICELESS brother...
Karla Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Splint they all look WOW!!! The ones I like most are the one @ the bin and the one on the coffee table!! Cute birdie you have there!
splint101 Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Thx guys, okay CD I just added the url's. Something was not lekke with the resize'ing
CeasarsDad Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 Thanks for being concerned Splint.. It was nice talking to you today. I hope I was able to give you the information you needed.. Good luck with your camera buying decision.
CeasarsDad Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 Hi there husband. How did you upload them? and where? We don't have a problem with photos showing so let see if we can work through this problem....
splint101 Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Yea it is quite amazing to talk to somebody so far and was nice chating to you. The info that you gave me about the camera's are more than enough but lik you said there are so much detail and info into buying camera's that sometimes a person will just give up because he does not understand most of the spec's and functions. But with somebody like you around it makes my life so much more easier buying a camera. :cheer:
CeasarsDad Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 Thank you Splint.. My pleasure comes from helping others. So the fact that you called me and wanted help... and I was able to give it to makes me feel just as good as you do... Thank you for having the confidence in me to call me all the way from South Africa...
TalonSis Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Ok here's another question. How do you take pictures in lowlight, without a flash? I had this problem alot on my field trip, so I ended up using Aperture piority for the light. And that made it delay sometimes, so they didnt come out as great. I'll get a picture up tomorrow, I'm too tired to upload them. Melissa

CeasarsDad Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Hi Melissa, You would need to boost the ISO for lowlight shots.. Take it up to 1600 if you have to... You also need to have a lens with a wide aperture.. Something like 2.8 or larger as this allows in more light... Sometimes the lense that comes with the camera does not have an aperture that is good for low light. What is the smallest aperture your lens opens to?<br><br>Post edited by: CeasarsDad, at: 2007/06/06 03:50

TalonSis Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 yes it was raining, but I mostly took pictures inside. When my lens is zoomed in the smallest aperture is 5.0, and when its zoomed out its 3.5 I tihnk.
CeasarsDad Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Melissa.. That's the problem.. Your lens doesn't have the ability to open up enough for good low light photography.. You need a lens that goes to at least 2.8 constant... Sigma makes nice low cost lense for you camera.. I would get something like a 28-70 2.8 for general photography... Or you could put a 50mm fixed lens on your camera that opens up to 1.8... If you want me to find a nice lense for you just ask.. See ya kiddo
CeasarsDad Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Melissa.. Forget about asking me.. Here is the lens that would work well for you. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/352403-REG/Sigma_549101_28_70mm_f_2_8_EX_DG.html Tell MOm I said you HAVE TO HAVE IT...
TalonSis Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Here are the first patch of pictures from my trip: ^This is the C.W. Morgan, a whaleing boat. ^another ship from the Morgan, I forget the name. ^The Amistad, we didnt go on this one. (I dont think) ^A boat in this building, we were hiding from the rain. These were from the seaport, I have more later.
CeasarsDad Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 These are the best photos I have ever seen you take Melissa.. You go girl.. I absolutely LOVE the misty look you captured on those sail boat shots.. You should be very proud of yourself lady... Keep it up Kiddo.
CeasarsDad Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 Melissa. The last shot.. The one with the pier and small building in the background.. Very dreamy... You should make this a 20 X 16 blowup..
TalonSis Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Thanks CD. What do you do to blow your pictures up? Send them off somewhere?
TalonSis Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 More pictures Alright this is the aquarium now.... ^part of a whale I'll do the others from the aquarium later, I'm tired. Melissa
CeasarsDad Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 Melissa, I gave your MOM the info.. see if she wrote it down.. She told me that you thought your photos didn't come out right... I think that are wonderful.. I can't tell you just how proud I am of you.. I can remember when we first met.. to see the improvement now is just amazing..
dblhelix Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Agreed, those photos are great! Good job!! Frank - do you have a simple RAW workflow you follow that you can share? I took a bunch of wedding photos in Hawaii last weekend and took them all in RAW. I have not done much work in the RAW format, but will probably use the Canon RAW converter software provided with the camera for starters...any general pointers for this?? Thanks
CeasarsDad Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 Well of course I do.. I shoot RAW exclusively.. There are a few converters you could use.. The Canon program isn't the absolute best there is.. Bibble.com has a really great converter Anyway.. What I do is I scan through the photos with the camera software looking for the dogs.. They get deleted.. Next I start editing in RAW format.. fixing white balance, color enhancement, sharpening, resizing.. then I Batch save as JPG's Unless I'm gonna print.. Then I might convert to a tif.. Need more help.. Just ask
dblhelix Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 How important is the resizing? What is the standard .jpg sizing that the camera just spits out? I plan to make a DVD for the bride/groom and family so should I just go with standard 4x6 sizing? What would you recommend?
CeasarsDad Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 Mark, There is no "standard" jpg size. The size of the jpg is determined by the mega pixels of the camera in question. Also settings you have selected internally. You have different resolutions of in camera jpgs.. Regarding resizing.. If your intended output is a DVD for television I wouldn't resize the photos at all. The bigger the image the clearer it will look on the TV or computer.. No need to worry there..
