It's not change that worries me, it's integrating too much at once (and the wrong kind), when in the past things have worked sort of okay. I'm not...
For the most part, I believe a shallow DoF worked best in these cases. The flower one was definitely too shallow, but the other photos turned out...
Neuron, for most people I would say to go for the D40. With papermache, I recommend the D90 because it's obvious that he really wants to learn...
For online, jpeg is the best way to go. If you want to save your images on your computer, tiff is the way to go. If you save your image as a tiff,...
You can flip your lens around and it becomes an odd sort of macro lens. It's hard to use though, and sometimes you get a black rim around the...
No they don't... you can watch the jpeg quality lessen -.-. The whole point of the jpeg file format is to compress the size of the image. It...
Ah yes. The food one... I'm biased with aperture settings. I probably should have used F4 or F5.6 for this one, but I had it on F1.4 because it's...
Hmm... Tough choice. Keep in mind that the D90 has HD video, but I would recommend just comparing the two cameras to each other with both specs...
Hey guys, I think we should all band together and try to create a stock pack of our personal photos. We might not be able to use a bunch of...
I say get the one good lens. If you buy a bunch of lenses, you'll eventually want to buy better lenses to replace each. If you start off good, you...
Some people like to stick around when they've outgrown the community, after all. Look at me! I haven't outgrown it design-wise, but that's because...
Yes, that's related to your camera automatically changing your ISO to its maximum. I don't know how high point and shoots can go, but they seem...
Uses curves. I can explain how they work, if you want. Another option is to go to filter>sharpen>unsharp mask. Set the threshold to zero, the...
My recommendation is to buy the kit with the 18-55mm lens. It's cheaper, so you'll get your wide angle sooner. The lens isn't half bad either. I...
I say 100% yes :). The fact that you can take those photos on such a camera just makes me wonder what will happen when you get an SLR. You get so...
ADD version of post is at the bottom. They'll be compatible if you shop careful. Any lens compatible with the D40 should be compatible with every...
You don't want to buy a $300 lens... go for at least $400, preferably over $500. $300 lenses just aren't high enough quality to give a good...
I don't know if I'd count as an oldie... this is my only account, so my join date is actually accurate. Just wanted to get into prem renders when...
The D40 seems to do fine with noise reduction. I haven't really had any trouble with it at all, but I've not used much better (unless you factor...
It's slowly dying :( http://socsaint.deviantart.com/art/Magenta-102295298 Other stuff- Portrait:...
I like the face, lighting, and composition of the first one ^_^. I think the problem with the second one is the balance and flow of the image....
Shouldn't your subtractive color diagram have CMYK instead? RBYK isn't a gamut -.- Haven't heard of triadic colors yet :D. We're going over...
I actually found a third and fourth type of balance listed: Radial Balance Crystallographic Balance (graphs and quilts) I don't know if they're...
Should ask :). And tell your friend that every image needs a different amount of sharpening; using a set filter could either mean that you could...
Ah, some of the lack of sharpness is related to the fact that dA is resizing those for me from a huge size (I do that so I can download them...
