I never bought anything from B&H but from my experience with other sellers, duties will be equivalent to the two taxes you have to pay in Canada.

What can make a big difference in the final cost is which shipper they use, because the shipper will charge you a brokerage fee.  From my experience, UPS is the worst and I remember paying them 65$ in fees for a purchase value of 300$ (excluding taxes and duties)!!!

My best exp. is with USPS and Canada Post; it's a littlebit longer but costs a lot less!

I uploaded 2 images yesterdays minutes before they went out.  Seemed longer than usual but I didn't care at that moment.

This morning, the 2 photos were "rejected" with the following comment: "broken image, please re-upload".

I guess I'm the first one with that reason! 

I will re-upload them today.

Give a try to lynda.com.

There is a huge library of quicktime movies on Photoshop.  Of course you will have to pay to have access to all of them but the firsts lessons of every chapter are free to use.

I use these to get in touch with specific tasks and I believe that sooner or later I'll go for the full course!

Good luck!

OK this has been a long post. And I am sure Rob and Jon are not pleased to be compared to Kindergartners.... but, my answer to that is, if you don't like being compared to Kindergartners, don't act like one.

(OH NO SHE DI-ENT......Oh , yes I did)

Ahhhhhhhhhhh,
What a refreshing way to go over it!!!

Thank you very much!

first of all there is a difference between 'negative' posts and insulting posts.  Insulting posts have no purpose or use here and only cause fights and disrespect.  Negative posts however can be informative and usefull.  I think one of the uses of this site is to discuss our opinions about the site.  If an opinion is negative it should be able to be expressed as long as it is not in a disrepectful way.  Since the stock sites themselves often don't like negative posts they may more often pop up here.

I fully agree with you Leaf and I want to say that I really appreciate the work you do here.

There are 2 reasons why, even if I don't contribute often to this forum, I read all the threads here:
1. I know that opinions expressed here are free and honest, even if sometimes they are expressed in a maybe rude manner 

2. We can compare here any site with any other site, and being relatively new to MS world, this is very usefull to me (and to others I'm sure!)

So I really hope that this forum will last very long with every contributor in it!

My tripod has a pan and tilt head; and I just bought a monopod with an integrated ball head.

I just love it so much that I want to add a ball head over the existing pan and tilt head of my tripod.

The only drawback is that it adds weight; don't know why but ball heads tend to be really heavy; may be  because of their magnesium ball?

I'm not sure if I get it right, but do you upload 10 photos from one session?

May be you should try to upload photos from various subjects, like 2 landscapes, 2 isolated objects, and so on...

I believe that SS tries to "evaluate" your potential so upload accordingly!

Keep on trying, you won't regret it!

I don't know a lot about coop but in the province of Quebec, in Canada, we have a long tradition of coop (from stores to banks and appartments) and, as Leaf said, IT WORKS.   

I'll try to find some more info about this around me and let you know.

Claude

Bravo!

So you now may go exclusive!
