Where I store my photos online:

People ask me all the time where I prefer to store my photos online. I have used both Flickr and Photobucket, and though they are popular, they didn’t do what I needed them to. I finally found the perfect solution for me in SmugMug. (Want to check out my albums?) I love the way that I can organize, view, and share my pictures there. If you’d like to see what it can do, you can try it free. And if you want to sign up, here’s a $5 off coupon. I highly recommend it!

Feel free to ask any additional questions in the comments below!

    Hi Marv, I have the 70-200mm f/4L and I use it hand held all the time. I wouldn’t recommend it for indoors, but outdoors it takes fantastic pictures…without a tripod!

    I’ve been reading 70-200 f4 is vs 2.8 non is for days and still I don’t know what to do. Ok..at the moment I do not do weddings. I do portraits (babies on up), I do photo shoots of a kid or kids running, playing, jumping in some field. I am commissioned to shoot landscape, buildings, horses, dogs (a lot of dogs) sometimes stationary, as a dog can be, or moving. I might shoot outdoor sports, not often. I have been known to shoot theater plays with just stage light available. I pretty much use a canon 24 – 105 to do all of this. I want a 70 – 200 and I really want a 2.8. I do not use a tripod as I started out a street photographer and love hand held shooting (better control) SO??????? can I get a 2.8 NON IS someone help me….Please!!!

    Hi
    Probably I should call myself a new born in photography. Although not my profession but just a part time hobby of mine. I would certainly want to develop on this and turn around my interest in it to something more, soon. For now I have a question which I thought should be best answered by professionals.
    I have been asked to take pictures / cover an event- an Indian classical musical performance soon. It’s a closed door auditorium. It will be low light is what I can imagine and certainly will want to avoid any flashes.
    What I have? Nikon D 600 +Nikkor 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 + Nikkor 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6.
    With the above instruments please advise the best approach I should have on the event. Remember it’s something for the 1st time and I am excited to show my talent.

    I want to connect a Nikon SB 700 Speedlight to my Nikon D80. I want to use a flash bracket attached to my D80. Do I need a hot shoe type sync cord? How do I get flash and camera to talk to each other?

    Thanks for all the tutorials in one place!

    I’ve been using Flickr for YEARS, but their lack of back-ups scare me so I’ve thought more lately about using SmugMug. It’s good to hear you like it!

    Um can I get you in person so you can actually show me these tricks?? You’ve been such a help, I just got an SLR from a friend and am loving it but still trying to figure out the manual mode :)

    You’re the best L, I’m definitely bookmarking this post!

    I think we talked about this in the discussion, but just in case, I highly recommend the Canon Rebel series (they are always adding new models!). That’s where I started, back when I was using film, and I still recommend them.

    What’s a good camera for a newbie? I have a point and shoot, but I want to invest in a camera that is the next step up from that. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!! Oh yeah, I’m bookmarking this page too!!! :)
