How does commander mode on a Nikon camera body differ from commander mode a on SB-700 Speedlight? Do you mean using the SB-700 on the hot shoe vs using the built-in flash? |

Is camera flash actually harmful to infants or newborns? That being said, when your eyes are adjusted for low light, firing off a flash on 1/1 power is not pleasant. The chemistry and sensitivity of your eyes are something to consider when using flashes. Of course, if it's indoors in the middle of the day with a decent amount of light then you have nothing to worry about. |

Can I remove the cable in postprocessing for this photo? I would first use the Spot Removal Tool in Lightroom to get rid of the trivial sky part. The tree wouldn't be quite as simple. |

Should I have my lab color correct my images? As someone who wants to maintain control over the look, the "allow us to colour correct your image" always feels like I would be allowing the potential for it to be messed up. When it comes to most normal printing, I've found that simply having a correctly calibrated monitor has yielded very close results between monitor and print. |

What software shows the most accurate version of a photograph for web viewing? I've always worked in the sRGB space in Lightroom, on my camera, and also have managed to calibrate my iMac rather accurately using only the Mac OS X colour calibrator and my eyes. I can export an sRGB photo on my iMac and it looks almost identical on every display, from cheap LCD monitors on Windows XP to iPhones and even my plasma TV once I calibrated it using a few reference photos. |

Why does viewfinder spec state 3 times more dots than there are pixels? I wish they'd just say "VGA" or "QVGA" or "640x480" display. |

What are the key differences between the Canon 60D and Canon 600D? I'm also a big fan of using a full body DSLR. For some reason, they just don't seem to balance well with heavy lenses when they're only single grip bodies. I used a battery grip with my 50D and didn't hesitate when buying my 60D. I don't even have that big hands. |

What are the key differences between the Canon 60D and Canon 600D? The controls alone would be enough for me. I could never use those Rebel controls very quickly compared to xxD / xD. |
