I have begun to take photography a little more seriously than just
shooting some family pics around the house and vacations.  I am
experimenting with different exposures/shutter speeds/films.  With that
in mind, I did some 200 speed day photography yesterday and some 800

I was just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction as to
what I should have on any model release forms.  I am going to be doing
some shoots soon involving models/public/people in general, and I know
that I should have them sign to say they consent to the pics and ...

Because of their advertised backwards compatibility, it seemed that a
Digital8 cam would be ideal for me due to a large stockpile of analog 8mm
tapes I want to put on a h/d, edit and put on DVD, plus using the camcorder
as an interface for capturing 8mm movie film, so I could kill 2 ...

I've noticed that the image on my 8mm jumps a bit. So, as an experiment I
tried playing/capturing some 8mm film in the Super 8 setting which lets you
see the right side of the sprocket holes. I notice that while the image
jumps a bit in places, the sprocket holes stay rock steady. I ...

I'm headed out tonight to try some night stained glass photography -
there are a ton of churches here in Alabama, where we recently
relocated to.
At any rate, I am using a Nikom N80 w/ Nikkor AF lens and am loaded

OK, call me dumb, stupid, blind or what but I cannot find how to deactivate
the built in speedlight while in manual mode.  I am trying to use settings
for effect and the camera always activates the speedlight in low light
conditions.  Can someone help, or am I beyond help.

Hi, I have a friend who's upgraded to digital a while back and then found
his old rolls of slide.  He's more than happy to give them to me, and I'm
also just as happy to have them... and here's the BUT... but, it's film he
used to roll his own and he's since forgot what the ISO ...

How would you like to be able to use a free place on the net where you
can upload your pictures and actually do something with them?
Well....then take a look at this:

Here is a link to 3 of my galleries
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/crxgibbon/my_photos , I have very few people
around me that are interested in photography, so getting valued criticisms
is tricky, if anyone would take a look and give me your views it would be

Hi, I am an amateur photographer and would like to become an active
member of this group. I currently have a Canon A95 which isn't the
greatest out there I know, but it was in my price range, and I am able
to get some pretty nice shots with it.  Does this group accept digital

though it's lo-res for the web...
the print looks great.
took it yesterday...then got up at 4 this morning
and decided to learn how to use GIMP.

Probably a bit of a noob question:
I was wondering what people's thoughts are about the Cokin Filter system. It
certainly looks to be very economical, particularly if you have multiple
lenses (with different sized filter threads). Are there any other benifits

I've been experimenting with transfer of 8mm movie film to DVD and have been
using a camcorder as a passive lens/interface with the computer. Results are
pretty decent with the 8mm I've been using but it seems to lose a bit of
clarity in the process.

Hi, I want to experiment with diy lighting a bit e.g. for indoor portrait
pics but don't have cash or justification for fancy studio lights etc. Not
done this before so could someone tell me what I would need to attach say
two or three flashguns to my 300D... is it just a hotshoe ...
