Have you tried outdoor sessions with your friends or are you just wanting studio shots? Good daylight can make good studio lighting...

The caps worked for me too.  I read through that as quickly as I would if it was typed correctly.  I bet I would read it slower if it were morning here.

The only word I had a problem with was IPROAMTNT. All the rest I read right through.

What really amazed me was I was able to read through it quicker than I can correctly spelled words...

I think was in 2003... 

That's rather interesting since it didn't come from them.

that�s not street photography, that�s nothing, total rubbish.. the guy is just flashing, how absurd really, at least telling them to stop no?? never seen such a ridiculous thing

It's not my favourite style but I doubt anyone would get a good photo in the few minutes this was filmed.  He does have some good stuff, the portraits would look different if he stopped people.

I really like his style. Don't agree with some of his views but his photos tell a story. That to me is good photography.
Here's a link to his flickr page for anyone interested. He has tons of candid shots on there. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasleuthard/

He also has a free pdf book that you can download called "Going Candid" Here's the link to it is you're interested

Me too...it worked this earlier today.

Get out of the cities to the country and you will see a big difference, especially in the southern states.

You know what I find really interesting? Virtually no American in Texas (and all the states next to the Mexican border or Florida) doesn't speak a word of Spanish. How's that even possible? In my country everybody speaks at least one foreign language and almost everybody living close to the border speaks the other country's language fluently. Doesn't matter wether it's Italian, German, Hungarian, Croatian. I mean you Americans are so business oriented (the American dream!!!), so materialistic, those that don't speak spanish in the areas with large Latin populations are loosing out a lot - coz I know tens of millions of ppl in America don't speak English. Think of all the dollars you're loosing out . I'd like to at least know a few words so I could mess around with neighbours, coworkers, pool cleaners etc .

BTW don't they call you blancos as well?

LOLOL .... That's the point...there are more who don't speak English in America than do.

c�llate est�pido ...do you know what that means??? Shut Up Stupid....
(disclaimer: This is only a joke!!!!!!!!

Oh and by the way the dow dropped 513 points, worst drop since Oct 2008. That's probably some of the problem.

Looks like I am going to have to break down and buy a new computer.

The other day lightning caused a quick outage and I think it surged into the computer. If I reboot, when it comes to the logon screen... beeps repeatedly and very fast. After I log on, cannot move any desktop icons. Photoshop will not load any photos into it but Lightroom and (just installed to test) GIMP will load up normally. Wiped out PS and then the re installs fail.

Got some other little annoying things happening.

I think it is time to put my old hand built workhorse to rest now. 8 years old and been through many changes and virus wars. Time to move into more modern equipment. sigh  

Sounds like what happened to mine last year...only mine wouldn't even come on period. It fried the cable modem so more than likely came through that. I think it fried the motherboard. I built it back in 05 and when I started checking to see how much it would cost to build another...it wasn't that much more expensive to buy a new one....then I took out my hard drive out of the other for my second HD.

Ed there is a pdf link on the flickr page you linked to. It is a pdf copy of the wheel that is on that flickr page.. I didn't know if it was the one you were wanting or a different one.

I found this on the internet and thought it was rather interesting especially for those of you who don't understand how different f-stops and shutterspeeds can produce the same exposure. A lot of photographers go by what the camera says and don't realize that there are combinations that work just as well.

Of course you need to have the auto ISO off and set to where you want it.

Here's a website that explains the Zone system to help with proper exposure. Again it is helpful if you are having problems with understanding exposure and how it effects the final picture.

Wow I wonder how well it works...gonna download it now, but I noticed it doesn't support Nikon D7000.
