I'm basically looking for a shopping list of exactly what I'll need so that I can beggin selling photos for advertising. I want to be able to sell my photography and I figured that product photography would be the best place for me to start.

What type of Camera? Lights? Backdrops?
Will I need flashes and reflectors? Can I substitute some lights with refectors?
Do I have to use computer programs?
What is the best color film for great color saturation?

Also, any additional tips on where to beggin taking my first steps in this direction would be amazingly helpful.

Thank you! :)

Does anyone own either of these two cameras? If so what do you like or dislike about your camera. I’m considering buying one of them.
EOS Digital Rebel XT Consumer reports gave it a 76 rating.
Nikon D50 Consumer reports gave it a 69 rating.
I’m a nub just reading books on digital photography and want to start with an inexpensive and easy to use camera.

I have a cannon powershot SD400 (digital camera) and i am wondering how to manually change the shutter speed. Also wondering, whenever you see cool pictures of blurred rushing water, is that because of a slow shutter speed? if so, i am wondering how to change the shutter speed to make cool pictures like that.

I would also like to know how to take a picture where the background is all blurry, but the object of the photograph is sharp, like those pictures of flowers that proffesionals take.

I'm a genealogist. One of my long term goals is to scan and catalog about a thousand family photographs from 1870 to 1950. The scanning + digitial editing is old hat, but I'm finding as I go into it that I have no idea on how to properly label and catalog the digital photographic files for archiving purposes.

Keep in mind that some of the photographs depict dozens of people so putting all the names in the file name is not a solution. I want to be able to catalog them by date and by person in the photo so that I may search by either, or by general date or year.

It also has to be a catalog + naming solution that will be transferable. By this I mean that if a software becomes no longer available, I need to be able to transfer my database to something else... either through comma separated files or some other method.

I know this is an issue that others must have hit on. Does anyone have any good solutions, websites, etc.? I'd be eternally greatful for them

I'm going on a vacation to New Zealand and Alaska...
I hear they have great landscapes and that I would really regret not taking photos. I have a SLR camera but I'm not really sure what type of equipment to bring.

And was wondering if I took them to be developed to 6 X 4 photo's at local shop in one of these new developing machines. Would all my photo's come out okay and clear.

Me and my wife are thinking of opening one while she is in school to get a degree in photography to help pay for school costs. It would just be simple portraits. We live in washington state if that matters.

I was wondering how u make the edges of the picture rounded or if there is a way of doing it. I just would like to make the corners curved so they are not so strong if u know what I mean.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I still can't decide which one will be best for me. I'm leaning toward the Nikon D80 over the Canon Rebel XTi but I don't want to end up making the wrong decision. I know a con for the Nikon is that there is no RAW conversion software included, but I will most likely be shooting in jpg-at least for awhile. I have heard that the Canon sometimes shuts off when in burst mode-I will be doing infant shoots so I don't want the camera to shut down when I'm firing away trying to capture the shot. If you own either of these could you please give me your opinion-
quality of photos
battery life
ease of use
problems with memory cards (sd vs cf)
is the dust reduction in the Canon a true deciding factor
which brand is easier to upgrade with
what is your lens of choice

I know most will say it's a personal choice and it depends on which feels more comfortable in your hand, but I would like to get as many opinions as possible to try to help me decide.

Thanks in advance.

I am an amateur photographer and find it impossible to get the attention of young children whilst trying to take a photo. I think this is an amazing talent. It requires the ability to captivate their attention whilst also getting the them to smile and having the precise timing to capture "the moment".

Tips are welcome. All the portrait types that i have tried end up with the children distracted and looking "off shot". Do i have to wear some silly costume with bells and whistles just to get them to look. Magicians answers welcome

I went to a tennis match(Venus Williams). I'm two rows off the court, which was about 10 feet from the action and I still didn't get the "close-up" photos I thought I would. Using the kit lens 18-55mm that came with camera, and that will NOT cut it. Do I need a zoom lens? Help please

I have a photogrpahy project due that can be on any subject as long as the 10 photos I have to take are connected in some way. However, my parents don't allow me drive and they don't want to take me anywhere to find things to take photos of. They keep telling me to take pictures of things in the neighborhood. I did that last semester and my teacher told me he wishes I would go an explore other places. He gave me the benifit of the doubt then but this semester he wants something different from me. I told my parents but they don't listen or care. Then think i'm just being difficult. They don't understand that my professor wants to see artisting and interesting things. Anyone have any ideas of things I can take photos of in my house or in basic neighborhood that would be interesting.
