Looking for a software that is very similar to Adobe’s Photoshop, Aperture, and Lightroom for post production/editing photographs. Beginning a business as a wedding photographer, but I don’t have much $$ to purchase professional softwares such as the above mentioned.
Looking for something in the price range of $100 – $150.
Thanks in advance!
Adobe Elements 8.
I and my fiance want to take some posed photos in bridal gowns and suit after our wedding ceremony. Did anyone take these kind of photo sessions before? How much does it cost per hour? We think of inviting our wedding photographer to take for us. But our wedding photograhpy package doesn’t include this service. We just wanna to know if it’s common to take this kind of photo and the price? any photographer recommend? Thanks!
Do you mean posed pictures at the ceremony site or an outdoor location? Not sure where are you located at but in my part of Ohio it’s the most common and expected photos taken. This is part of the deal with the photographer.
Are you talking about going to a studio to take pictures with formal backgrounds, etc.? Now these types of photos are not included and to be honest is something you’d want to do before your wedding (unless you are a firm believer in not seeing the bride traditions), because they do take ALOT of time. On your wedding day you probably will not have the extra time to allow for this type of photography session.
As for costs, that is something that will be more ‘area specific’ to wherever you are located.
i have yahoo albums, but thats it.
I have my photos on several different websites, so that I have them if anything ever crashes. I have literally thousands of pictures, so I have gone through and figured out the benefits of lots of photo uploading websites. (I also bought an external hard drive for that purpose and have stuff backed up there, and some of them are on CDs.)
http://photos.yahoo.com I use this one, primarily. The main benefit for me is that I can upload up to three hundred in one album at a time, post a link to an individual album, and also secure other pictures from being accessed.
http://www.photobucket.com When I need to have a small graphic, emoticon, or something like that stored, I typically use this. It provides HTML and several other codes for each picture, which is good if you are doing website design. You can upgrade to a paid subscription if you want one without ads.
http://www.sharpcast.com This is a newer one, and I think it has a lot of great features. By installing the program on your computer, it will find all of your picture files and put them on the Sharpcast website. You can "sync" the computer with the program and it will update the website automatically. It also has a good format, but can be a bit slow if you have lots of pictures.
http://www.shutterfly.com This is a good one…I like that you can upload mutiple photos at once with it, and did not get the limit like Yahoo! has in uploading 300 at one time. I am putting 360 pictures into an album now with no problem.
http://www.flickr.com This is through Yahoo! also, so the good thing is that if you have a Yahoo! account, you can easily get started with Flickr. However, it does have a limited amount of storage and that is only 20MB if you have the free account. It is good because it will also show you photos from your friends if they use it. Because of the uploading limit, I don’t use this very much.
http://www.tinypic.com This website requires no registration and is good for getting links to a picture or two if you need to put them on a website or something like that. It gives you links for HTML to embed, IMG, and a URL for a picture.
http://www.picturetrail.com I personally don’t use this one, but I know several people who do use it and like it. It is free, and has a paid subscription option also.
Good luck…I hope this gets you started, anyway! 
I’m looking for a place to put a gig or 2 of photo’s online. Is Yahoo Photo’s online storage, Is Kodak Easyshare online or stored in my PC. In case of hard drive failure, the posibility of having my PC stolen or other mishaps, I want to store my favorite photos online and perhaps do a system reformat/with system restore CD to clean it out. My PC is now full, and CD/ DVD burning is not currently working. I’ve just recently had a minor stroke and things are a bit cloudly and slow; This Yahoo answers is really cool & helpful to. Links to accurate & current info is also appreciated. Thanks folks
In my opinion, KodakGallery.com. Not only do they make it super easy to upload and store your photos, but sharing them with family, friends, and the world is just as easy. They offer the industry’s best red-eye reduction software… and it’s available for free!

I am 14 and I need tips on Photography!!
I am into photography as well. I post my photos on a website called Flickr.com
http://flickr.com/cameras/
That is the cameras page on Flickr. You can look throught all different types of cameras. That’s where I went when I was considering buying a new camera. You may also want to go to a camera store and talk to someone there or if you know someone who is already into photography, talk to them.
Your first question is if you want to use a film or a digital camera. Next you’ll want to decide what type of camera to use. For instance, if you decide you want to use a digital camera, now you have to decide if you want a point and shoot camera, or a DSLR (digital single lens reflex). If you talk to someone at a camera store or someone you know, they can tell you all about the different types of cameras and the pros and cons to using them.
Next, you’ll want to decide what you’ll take pictures of. (people, animals, landscapes, skies, flowers, ect.) Or maybe you’ll just decide as you go. I did. Every photographer develops a style. (You don’t need to worry about it, it just comes naturally) Some people tend to take pictures with brighter, bolder colors and some people like faded or dull colors. A style is almost like a signature.
You will also want to do some research on cameras. Find out how they work and what some different settings on your camera do. Go to a library or a bookstore and look at some photography books.
Take your camera everywhere. Everytime you leave the house, make sure you have your camera.
Remember that you’re just starting out though. You can spend as little as 3 dollars or as much as 10,000 or more (which I wouldn’t recommend) Photography has costed me atleast a thousand dollars in the last year, maybe more.
I hope you enjoy taking photos. If you have any questions you can email me, I didn’t go into detail that much. But the internet is also a good source if you have any questions.
My wedding planner want some of our photos taken to be printed out in a wedding magazine. If the photos belongs to me I can allow it to be printed,right?
1 more thing.. I paid him to take the photos for me. Is it still not mine?
Check the photography contract you signed.
I would like to create a site of some sort for my family to post pictures and announcements, etc. However, I don’t want it to be like a blog where only I’m the admin and only I can add new content. I want the site to be such that anyone in my family can contribute to the site’s content by adding photos, videos, announcements, etc. And finally, there should be one URL that you can visit and see all of the contributions from all the family members.
Any suggestions?…
Piczo.
Just make an account and give your family the username & password.
I use photobucketo for my myspace pictures, and Flickr only allows you to display 200 photos unless you pay, which I believe is ridiculous. I liked Yahoo, but now it’s gone.
Photobucket.com or Multiply.com
I transferred mine from yahoo to flickr but when i found out they’re asking for a fee by september, i again transferred my photos from flickr to a new multiply account. photobucket would have been ok but i had really lots of photos i didn’t wanna upload them again using an html uploader. it would take too long!
I am well aware of the hardware side but need more information on the software that is needed to setup this business.
start and go ahead dont ware about
i DONT MEAN LIKE USING THE CAMERA I MEAN WHAT ARE SOME GOOD THINGS TO TAKE PICTURES OF?
Never put your subject as on the focus point. I don’t know how good your camera is but when you look in the viewing window imagine you have a square around the centre (focus point). Place your subject in one of the 4 points of that square – what this does is that it makes your subject the focus of your picture. This is called the rule of three.
Also try and keep all your verticals and horizontals straight (e.g. if you are taking a pic of a building make sure that the building is not wonky) this just make your pics appear neater.
Hope it helpes
