Hi.  I was asked to shoot 50-60 paintings with a digital camera.
Should I lie each painting on the floor and shoot downwards?  Or would
it be better to shoot them from a frontal view?  Suggestions on a
tripod/gear, tec. Thanks.

I've only had this for three months and I already FUBAR'ed.  I dropped
it 6' or so and the camera landed on a very hard surface, lens first
with the lens extended.  
Lens assembly broke, mechanism gone, glass gone  but LCD turns on fine.  

I've had a canon 20D for 6 months now. It replaced my canon G2.  I bought it
with the 17-85 lens kit. Now I'd like to buy a 2nd lens. I fancy a macro to
shoot the tiny critters around my pond in the summer. I've narrowed it down
to two. The EF-S 60mm f2.8 Macro or the EF100mm f2 ...

I am using Photoshop CS and when I make changes to a RAW file and click OK,
I usually 'Save As" a JPG with a specific name to indicate changes.  When I
would then close the file, I thought that I used to be asked if I wanted to
save the changes I made to the RAW file and I would ...

These are a few of the photos I have taken recently while serving as a
missionary in the Philippines. This is my first attempt at a web site.
Any constructive criticism is always welcome.
Yes, I know I said I would never do a web site. :-)

I've been postponiong buying a digital camera.  I like the contrast, shadow
detail, blacks and whites, tonal range, etc  of film cameras. Meanwhile
digital has bveen getting better and better.
I own a Nikon f2 with just several thousands $ of lenses ands accessories ,

I've just bought one (in UK) and would like to know of any source of good
alternative cartridges and are they (either the original Canon or
compatibles) successfully refillable?
I'm also having to get to grips with printer profiles and would welcome some

I just bought a Kenko PL 55mm polarizer but seems to be a neutral
filter instead. When I turn the ring I see no difference in light. Does
anyone know if that could be a neutral filter o it's just I don't know
how to turn the ring. I really cannot see a slight difference in light

I've just received a production Olympus E-330 and have run some quick
initial test shots, including a noise comparison with the E-500.

We are moving, painfully, from film to digital.
Does anyone know of an organisation or individual, ideally close to
Oxford UK, which can asssist in the move with skilled professional
knowledge of creating a proven workflow from studio to print?

Well looks like my trusty Archos 140 which I've used as an image tank
for a few years has gone to silicon heaven.
So I have a choice, I can either get an AV420/480 which have the CF
reader built in, or I can get a 500 series, but instead of CF it has

Anyone use Dry Creek Photo for a custom ICC profile recently? After
reading a number of positive recommendations for them, I sent in
samples and a check on 1/19. I know they take 2 to 3 weeks, and I can
live with that, but so far they haven't even deposited the check. I

I'm mostly a lurker here, but I have a question that I was hoping someone
could help me with.  A friend of mine got a Kodak digital camera for
Christmas, I'm not sure the exact model, it's a 5mp point and shoot.
She took some pictures with it and it worked fine for a while, but ...
