Thanks to Scott Kelby and to DWF for this lesson on natural light portraiture in front of a north-facing window.

memory in a flash

What kind and brand of memory do you use? I'm all CF and a variety of brands. Never had one tank on me (knock on wood!) and since I don't shoot much sports, write speed hasn't mattered too much to me. What works for you and why?!?!

Recently entered some of these pix into a local review/contest. What do you think? (click on thumbnails for larger versions)

Sign up today. It'll be June 1 before you know it!

Thanks, Ron

too perfect?

Are we going too far "fixing" people in photographs? Too much skin smoothing and teeth whitening? Too much eye poppin', sharpening, clarity, too much whites in the whites of their eyes? What do you think? Should we all use Photoshop brand toothpaste?
