My primary project types at this time are people & "portrait" style, and "still-life" like interesting buildings, fauna (macro), etc. I want to get an SLR package, and I know that there is no way I can make an informed decision with my limited experience - I don't know enough detail on anything to make sense of my research. So I want to ask an expert - please give me your recommendations. I know I should basically buy a name brand, and spend the most I possibly can to have quality equipment. So what would be in the $1000 to $1500 range for body, best all-purpose lens (if there is such a thing) or the two "must have" lenses, and flash? For example, I found a Canon EOS 40D body for $550 & Canon 580EX II Speedlite Flash for $380, and Canon Canon Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer USM Lens for $240, & Canon 50mm f/2.5 EF Macro Autofocus Lens - would make total for body, flash & 2 lenses near top of my range at $1410. And no, I don't have lots of money - I'm spending more than I should because I want to, so I want to get the best I can. Please help with your recommendations! ]]> Photography Forum curlyspermanentwave http://www.mediacollege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5012 http://www.mediacollege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5012 http://feeds.mediacollege.com/~r/mc-forum-photography/~3/336976734/showthread.php Wed, 16 Jul 2008 06:27:18 GMT what is more important in photography the camera, the film, or the light? what is more important in photography the camera, the film, or the light? ]]> Photography Forum manju http://www.mediacollege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4980 http://www.mediacollege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4980 http://feeds.mediacollege.com/~r/mc-forum-photography/~3/328576708/showthread.php Mon, 07 Jul 2008 03:58:55 GMT I need to show this led finger light with a white background.

I need to show this led finger light with a white background. But the light needs to be on and show a little color on that white background. If I just use a brush and white out some area around the light hitting the table then it does not look very good. I want to make a great looking photo to put on the front of this website. I would appreciate any help at all. There is a photo now on the front of this website www.lducompany.com of the finger light but they want me to change it to have a white back ground but show the color light. Thank you. ]]> Photography Forum laker http://www.mediacollege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4939 http://www.mediacollege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4939 http://feeds.mediacollege.com/~r/mc-forum-photography/~3/320458919/showthread.php Thu, 26 Jun 2008 11:03:23 GMT I Have Sony Dsc-w35 7.2mega Pixel Digital Camera.

From what I understand the Bridge that comes with CS3 is supposed to be able to process RAW images. So the other day I uploaded some RAW images and they show up fine in the bridge. Now today I have uploaded more RAW photos and they are not showing up when I tried to import them from my camera and once I did get them on the hard drive they bridge wont display thumbnails or previews. Is there a way I can fix this? ]]> Photography Forum ckalanik http://www.mediacollege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4880 http://www.mediacollege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4880
