My new camera gets me frustrated.

Here you go mama, I just did a really quick edit. Her eyes are so pretty! As far as actions, just try not to use them at full opacity. More often than not, it seems like they need to be brought down quite a bit to avoid the "over-edited" look. Most of the editing I do is really subtle so I might be giving biased advice..but that's just my biggest thing with actions. I use them to enhance my photos, not overtake it. I don't think your SOOC shots are bad at all!

thank you so much

You're welcome  

I am trying to put dates on my photos but I can't find them. Shutterfly put the date February 4th on this one and I know I did not take this photo a week ago. I tried looking up the properties of the original file but it's not showing up. Anyone know how I can figure this out?

Her lips don't look bad at all. If I have bad dryness issues, I do the clone tool to patch them up.

So Adorama has Nikon 50mm 1.8 for sale used 99.99 plus shipping.

I am selling mine for 90PPD if anyone is interested.

I am the second owner, bought it from a local highschool photography teacher, I have only used it about 3 times. I have to go downstairs and double check but I'm 90% sure it has had a protective filter on it the entire time.

If interested PM me please! Trying to buy a new wrap  

What do y'all think about the Canon 5D Mark II?

I'm going to upgrade my camera and I want a good full frame. Other suggestions instead of this one? I'm going to buy used and I want to try to stay around or under $1000

I like mine a lot.. I don't know that you're going to find a full frame camera under 1k.. MAYBE an original 5D if you get lucky.

Upload the photo to Flickr maybe? But if it isn't showing on the original file properties, I'm not sure that would work

I found a couple 5D mark II around 1000 on eBay. I can go higher than that I just would like to stay around that. I'm just a little weary of buying from eBay on some things but I'm not sure where else to buy used.

That would make me VERY wary for someone to sell something so far below the normal retail for used. You can pretty easily find them for around the $1600 mark.. What are the average shutter counts on the bodies that are that cheap.

Which of these are your favorites?

Quoting Mrs.Dani:" Which of these are your favorites? "

Probably #1.

Quoting awesomebrandi:" Probably #1."

Alright. Thank you.
