Got a Photography Question?

A couple of those look pretty decent.. watch your focus and angles though.
Some stuff is out of focus and the cars are weird angles.
Generally it looks like you have some good ideas. What camera are you using?

[Anonymoose]

Cheers man, I have a Canon SX100, nothing flash The one with the steeple in the background was intended to be focused on the wall close up, have another exactly the same but focused on the steeple. Will be working on my car shots, thanks for the tips

how do you go about photoshopping the rig out of the picture? is it just a lot of clone-stamping?

anyone?

[Travis]

anyone?

Its clone stamping, yes. Wait until cs5 comes out and it will be a whole lot easier than that too

My Canon 350D keeps ERR 99. I've tried a bunch of the things from google. Anyone got any insight?

Send it in for repair. The ERR 99 code is the catch all for anything mechanically wrong with it. I had to send my 40D in for the same thing. FWIW, mine cost about $250 to repair

I've had dirty lens contacts cause err99 codes as well, also the internal battery going dead will cause it. Just a few simple things to check before sending it in.

250 towards a 7D sounds more like it.

Thanks Erik. I tried the lens contacts. I'll try and swap out that internal battery.

Can we get a parts list?

[dubber]

Nevermind. Thanks for the how to on page 2!

Is there any other way to remove an item (lamp pole, posts, etc), from a picture other than clone stamp because on a static shot its much easier to tell.

[StayNegative]

My method is typically clone stamp + patch tool to smooth it out. That can pretty much get rid of anything with enough time. Also I occasionally copy a similar area and paste it over what i'm trying to get rid of, then use the patch tool to smooth it out a bit.

Whoops yep, he's correct. There's a few things to check before sending it in that it could be.

Ok, I have a new question, how many megapixels are necessary for the kind of good quality shots that I see from the pro's on here?

And I've heard that the best beginner camera is a d70 or xsi, if i get one of those i would just have to worry about my skills and not the actual picture quality right?

Thanks
