On a seperate but connected issue, do you folks think https://www.lynda.com/ is worth while for training?


I am a big fan of https://www.lynda.com/.

Here is a link to their photography-related courses:

http://www.lynda.com/Photography-training-tutorials/70-0.html

You can subscribe by the month for $25.00 or $37.50 which allows the downloading of exercise files.


I did subscribe, thanks

i just see alot of noise all over ,i check up your exif and it shows iso 200,how come it could get such noise at iso200??I guess maybe you should clean up your camera sensor or what? Huh plus they dont like the lighting like that from my experience! Tongue

I was only putting it up here because someone said to try to reduce the sze and see if that helped.

Also I would recommend Lightroom - as an image library with great processing section (for RAW files).
If you have clean pictures (no dust on the sensor, relatively clean lenses) in RAW format, of course - you can collect, process and keyword them in one location, which is very, very handy.
tv.adobe.com/product/lightroom/ <- this is link to the selection of videos 'by Adobe' and this shoud give you idea what is this software for.

Good luck W.

All your images are taken at ISO 200, which is unacceptable in most cases. Lower ISO to 100.

You've gotta be kidding me. ISO 200 is the native ISO used by one of the two major camera makers in the world (on most of its cameras). And that setting works just fine if you've correctly exposed your shot.

I do shoot at ISO 100 most of the time, but most DSLRs used by iSock contributors have native ISO 200. ISO 200 is fine in most cases. I have images accepted on iStock that were shot at ISO 800. this statement about ISO 200 being unacceptable is simply untrue.

Yup, I've got a few @ 1600 and at least three @ 3200. Sized down, admittedly!

I have lots of photos accepted at ISO 400 and more. I usually use that in good light conditions, just to shot with a faster speed and freeze movement.

exactly....this is why I shot at higher ISO in good light. but something tells me this might be beyond the scope of this particular discussion ;-)
