Over the last few months I've conributed to a stock photo agency. Recently
one of my pics sold but the agency are refusing to tell me who bought it.
What I want to know is, is this standard practice i.e. for agencies to
withhold detail.

Sorry if this isn't the correct group to post this to, but I didn't
see a better match.  I do need help though.
I just found out tonight that I need to purchase a digital video
camera by XMas eve.  Just for ordinary everday uses.  With just a

I currently own a refurb Nikon D50 with one standard mid-range zoom
and one longer-ranger zoom. I got it cheap off eBay a year or so ago
to explore photography and see what I like to shoot, so that I can
know what I need when the time comes to upgrade.

I have a HP Photosmart C7180 All-in-One running on Windows XP. With
this unit I can scan four slides at a time. However, using the drivers
that came with the unit, there is no way to control output size and
there is no prescan, so there is no way to make color or brightness

I've posted a blog for novice photographers who want to improve their
photographs: http://takebetterpicturesblog.com
I'd really like to know what you think of the blog. Please come for a
visit when you can.

Please suggest a good extrernal flash for the SONY DSC-f828.
Also, I cannot find the orginal SONY carrying case for it anywhere.
Your suggestions for one would also be appciated.
Thanks!

I have been working hard and thought I would share. Have a great
day,  Judy

I'm going whitewater rafting.  The real thing to waterproof Canon G7
is this Canon DP-WC11 at $150 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JIOG5I
.  Since I hardly ever take any picture below the water, I want to
skip that and go the cheap route.  Has anyone tried any other thing to

I was sufficiently impressed with the composition of these photos
(impressive subject matter of course) to pass this link on:

First of all, I am not a pro, just a hobbyist who was trying this for
the first time. Recently my wife and I were on vacation and I was
trying to get a photo of us at dusk off a balcony. The sun had gone
down and it was just before the sky went completely dark. I setup the

I'm trying to decide between the Sigma 150-500, the Sigma 50-500 (Bigma) and
Tamron 200-500. Any ideas about which I should go for. I have a Nikon D300,
a Sigma 10-20, Nikon 18-200 and Sigma 600 Mirror/Reflex already.
Cheers,

I've been looking at these two cameras, but I'm seriously confused.
From what I can see, the D200 is an 8megapixel body, and the S5 is a 12.34
megapixel body.
All makes sense to me so far.

I recently lost my full time job and I am seeking to sell some of my digital
photos.  I was initially told about a firm called Photographersdirect.com,
but when I look at their requirements, I doubt that most of my images would
meet them (especially the size requirement).  While ...
