How can I get dramatic shallow DOF with a kit lens? +1. You can't really get wide aperture, but you can get long(er) focal length and close focal distance. |

Can Canon Rebel XS effectively optically trigger a speedlite flash? It makes a big difference whether you are indoors or outdoors. Indoors the signal can bounce off walls a couple times before triggering, and you may not need line of sight, but outdoors there may not be anything to bounce off of... |

DOF and picture quality Every lens has a "sweet spot" -- the f/# where it is sharpest. For many lenses this seems to happen around f/4 to f/5.6 and stay sharp for a few stops. Around f/11 diffraction begins to degrade image quality. |

What is ETTR (Expose To The Right)? "more information" is slightly misleading. There are the same number of bits for the right half of the histogram as there are for the left half aren't there? |

What post-processing tricks can be used to improve the quality of photos taken with the on-camera flash? professional photographers typically don't use the popup flash. The biggest improvement you could make would be to get the flash off camera, or bounce it. |

How was non-uniform yellowish cast created on BW photos of Charles Lucima? It could be some subtle split-toning? |

Online Printing API? I had a photography blog for a while, and I used fotomoto.com to add a "buy print" and "buy eCard" link below each image hosted on my site. I found it to be a reasonable balance between low-hassle / customizable. |

How can I get non-blurry gymnastics pictures with my entry-level DSLR? That's true... but if the gymnast is significantly farther away, then the gymnast will be quite small in the frame, and most of the frame (even most of the gymnast) should not be blurry at that shutter speed. You would be at least as hard pressed to get camera shake at 18mm and 1/1000 shutter speed. |
