I understand how there is the "sweet spot" for lens, and that being wide open to f/1.4 won't be AS sharp as it at f/2.8 or so. But my shots (with a Nikon D200) at f/1.4 are VERY hazy...and the camera metering tends to over-expose by +1/3EV at f/1.4 and I know I can use eposure comp. to fix...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/31547368@N06/5347494989/in/faves-vangorkumphotography/ Did they really just 'clone stamp' it to make it look that way, or is there a better way? If it is just really the clone stamp, just tell me. I've done alot of work with that tool, and would find out sooner or...

I have an image that is taken on a white backdrop, but it needs to be made to look like it was shot on a black backdrop: http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu68/4402mtdanielct/Jill-ReMax.jpg The problem is that all the detail in the hair needs to be kept too. I've tried different selecting...

First off, I have a Nikon D200, with a 3rd party external flash that I can use off-camera with a flash sync cord. What lens should I use? -50mm f/1.4 -18-55mm -70-300mm -(I can do the 'reverse lens' macro w/ the 50mm and 70-300, but I think it might be too close, even @70mm) My main goal is to...

http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu68/4402mtdanielct/VAN_8636-nochangecopy.jpg It still seems too...idk...not right. I've tried to remove some of the stuff in the background, but It doesn't look right. I have Photoshop Elements btw.

I have a family photo that I took, and the family had told me that one of the members is gone for two years and they wanted to somehow have me Photoshop a photo of his face onto a "faked" friend, standing in place. Here is the full-sized edited photo...

Do they send you a Flickr Mail? Or what? I'm not asking how to get on Explore, i'm just asking how to know if you did or not.

I know in theory, "post processing doesn't make the photographer, it's the camera, and the photographer's skill with it" BUT, it just seems that in every situation, the difference that separates the average from the pros, is post processing. It also seems like every "pro" shot I see, has been...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellfast/4723528177/in/faves-vangorkumphotography/ I know how the quality of lens and the correct exposure is required to get a sharp image, but it just boggles my mine how SHARP this image is! Is it because it's like an HDR? There's no EXIF data... :(

Fake accounts, that answer questions like this: If I told you how easy it is to get a job in this recession, you wouldn't believe me. But the truth is more employers are going online to find people just like you and me who are ready to work at a good job (one that pays good!). The only thing...

I'm going to have this picture of mine uploaded onto a website and they will print it on canvas and have it stretched on a wooden internal frame. Now, for the stretching, Im supposed to "repeat" the image so i don't loose some of the image. Does anyone know how to do that in PS Elements? And...

For Photoshop Elements 6.0 - wanting to do some vintage effects, like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/villeda/2397992350/

I know about the 50mm f/1.8 AF Nikon has, but Im wanting something a bit more longer for portraits, like 85mm and up for my Nikon D200. Anyone wanna suggest some old manual focus lens? f/1.8 - f/2.8, from 85mm to anywhere to 200mm
