Filiberto Ranalli: You want at least 200 pixels per inch of print. A 8x10 will look good with 1600x2000 pixels REGARDLESS of the so called DPI...The 798x534 would look rather blocky (grainy) and very pixely as a 8x10.Bob - Tucson...Show more
Madlyn Fallis: for a 15 yr old, those pictures are impressive. it's all up to you though. do you like what digital noise does to the image? all the spotty pixels in the background is the digital noise. mostly done by having a long exposure. try working more on your exposure times and aperture times. when you figure those out, you'll have sharper images for sure. your composition if good. but like i said, its all on your taste. my pictures are more for fine art, and the quality is crap. but i do it on purpose. good job though...Show more
Tricia Dossous: It sounds like you think of landscape shots as being in the wide angle range. Take a look here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/tags/sce... If you thi! nk these are okay for landscape shots, then the 18-55 will suit you just fine. My widest angle available is 17mm. I have a 17-55 lens and 18-200 lens (and others), so most of these scenic shots were taken with one of them.Of course, the camera matters. I will assume that you have a DX sensor, since you are asking about the 18-55 lens, which is the kit lens for many Nikon cameras with a DX sensor. My samples are also shot with DX sensor cameras....Show more
Andra Oger: See this is how it goes 18-55 & 10-24 what's common in it? 18mm-24mm.... ie if u'r spendin moneys to get a new 10-24mm, then u are payin ''extra'' for the 18 to 24 mm...What i mean to say 18-55 is absolutely fine for landscapes as its sufficiently wideangled & multiranged..If u get a 10-24mm, u'll se how the photos are not really ''good'' when out of that lovely landscape u just wanna click the pic of your better half or your dog...but u can do that with the 18-55mm...What is more important is the ap! erture settings.... Your aperture shud be 'high' for a given I! SO & shutter speed shud be low... thats the thing u shud remember...say if u have to shoot something which is above 10 miles say a mountain range, u shud try aperture at 22 something & shutter at 30-200 etc depending on the available light.... Avg aperture for shooting landscape is 12+...have a good day......Show more
Ruby Martis: love them- pictures look more professional when you have an up close object with a blurred background.

Lolita Deschamp: Hi, yes you can shoot a 100mm macro handheld as long as you are shooting when there is enough light. As for the sigma 60 and 70, I cannot say much for them since I never used them or even heard of them. I have used the Canon 100mm and can vouch for it. I also used the Canon 50mm macro lens, which is more compact, but the image quality is not as sharp as the 100mm.
Marhta Teahan: Well first, I would like to know whether a normal person can shoot 100mm macro with handheld? Because I don't d! o much with tripod except at night or doing some long exposure photography.Second, if i don't shoot with tripod should i get the Sigma 70mm Macro or Canon/Sigma 60mm Macro?Third, what are the major different between those 3 lenses? (besides the Canon 100mm can put on a full frame camera) Lastly, which one you prefer?thank you for those who answer...Show more

Rosann Mccomb: I'm a beginner photographer, only 15 years old, and I'm looking to improve my photos. This is a link to my Photostream on Flickr. Do my photos look overly edited? Are they good/bad/terrible? If you have any advice on how to improve my photos, please answer!Thank you!http://www.flickr.com/photos/hhaannnnaahh/...Show more
Madlyn Fallis: yes sure it will be ok,
Jacques Vaquera: sure
Len Bormes: I'm trying to decide if someone copied one of my high resolution images at the above dimensio! ns are they sufficient for a reasonably good 8x10 print?I belong to an ! artists site and have my photos watermarked but some of the groups on the site "feature" your photos and they are not watermarked. I "saved as" to see what dimensions, etc. I could get from it and it seems that one could get at least a good enough 8x10.What is your opinion?...Show more
Leann Villalta: Yes it's fine. Although most purists will say you need a wide angle lens for landscapes (you do - for large scale, dramatic vistas) you can use any lens to shoot a landscape.A good telephoto (200-500mm) for example, can be used to isolate specific elements in a landscape and so will give a different viewpoint & 'feel' to a landscape.For example, this shot was taken at 20mm focal length;http://www.flickr.com/photos/deepbluephotography/5...this one at 65mm;http://www.flickr.com/photos/deepbluephotography/5...and this one at 135mm;http://www.flickr.com/photos/deepbluephotography/5......Show more
Octavio Roylance: any lens can be used for landscapes... all depends on ! your intention and what you want to show...learn by using different focal lengths...but remember leading, rule of thirds, f/16, ISO100 to 800 (to add noise), and any other experimentation...just don't shoot from a standing position... change your angle and use the ambient light - dusk and dawn can give you better results than bright sunlight......Show more
Rosalyn Olivera: Most people think of Landscapes in terms of wide angle, but there are other ways of photographing Landscapes which take into account depth as well.All focal lengths can be used in Landscape photography, as each distort differently they will bring there own way of rendering the 3D world into the 2D world of a picture. It's only around 50mm that the camera sees the world pretty much as our eyes do.A telephoto will 'compress' distance, so distant trees behind your subject will appear to be a lot closer to your subject than they actually are, the opposite is true of wide angle lenses, if you move closer! to get a similar frame of the same subject, then the distant trees wil! l appear to be even further away from your subject than they actually are. There are no 'best', you use the lens that will give you the effect you want.You can always use stitching software to create a panorama, the longer the focal length used the more images you'll need to cover the angle of view you want.Chris...Show more
Janeen Perona: I just answered your other identical question and then saw this one. So I'll say a bit more. All the people who shoot weddings, from the hack with a new dSLR to Bambi Cantrell, Monte Zucker and Jeff Ascough had a first one. The ideal way to begin shooting weddings is to have a very good basic understanding of technique and the art of photography, whether that comes from formal education in the classroom, or the school of self-study and hard knocks. On top of that, assisting or interning with an established pro is an immense help. Then add in having the right tools to do the job and knowing how to use them. When all three parts of th! e wedding photography equation are there, the chance for success goes wayyy up. Take away a piece and the odds of great images fall quite a bit. How much the dip is depends on how much is missing. So, you are missing experience and equipment. Maybe skill, and knowledge too. None of us know how much you have learned in the few months you've been a hobbyist. You may be a great photographer, some people take to it quickly with an innate grasp of light and composition. Then it's a matter of learning how to translate their vision to film (or sensor). Others plod along at novice snapshot level for years, never understanding that a better camera will not make them a better photographer. I don't have a problem with the amateurs who come here asking how to better shoot their first wedding. Most of these first wedding photographers are pressed, cajoled, browbeaten or bushwacked into duty because they are either the family shutterbug, or they have a decent camera, perhaps the only dSL! R among the circle of friends. Not every wedding has a budget of thousa! nds or tens of thousands of dollars, and often the B&G would have nothing but disposacam snaps from table cameras if someone refused to do the photography as a favor. Although I am a firm believer in "It's the photographer, NOT the camera", the reality remains that unless he really screws up, he will get shots better than a bunch of kids with a disposables or Aunt Edna with her five year old Kodak Easyshare. Now, if he presented himself asking something like, "I am starting a wedding photography business next week, what camera and lens do I need and what should I name it?", then he deserves whatever raking he gets. But here, this is not the case. He is just a friend trying to help. Plenty of amateurs shoot weddings. Sometimes that ends in heartbreak for everyone, but sometimes it's all OK, even if not perfect. I hope this one will be OK! Good luck, and read those links I sent in the previous answer....Show more
Alberto Kozub: The 18mm focal length will do a good job t! aking landscape pictures. Its angle of view is equivalent to a 27mm lens on a 35mm film camera or full-frame DSLR.What you need to be concerned with is your Depth of Field (DOF). At 18mm and f16 if you focus on a subject at 5'-0'' your DOF will be from 2'-0'' to infinity - anything from 2'-0'' in front of your camera to as far as you can see - infinity - will be in focus. At http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html you can use the DOF Calculator to compute the DOF for any combination of focal length, f-stop and subject distance imaginable. Those are the only factors that affect your DOF: 1) Focal length of the lens; 2) The f-stop (aka aperture) used; 3) The subject distance.I consider a tripod as mandatory for good landscape photography. A tripod helps you keep the horizon horizontal - in my opinion nothing ruins a landscape picture like a tilted horizon. When shooting landscapes I use Aperture Priority and the camera's self-timer to release the shutter. Shoot at your camera's h! ighest resolution and use ISO 100 for the best results.http://www.flick! r.com/photos/drifter45h/4032748624......Show more
