loki05: dope abstracts. i've always liked stuff like that for some reason.
robxdrew: i use a uv filter on my lenses. more so for lens protection than anything else. i honestly couldn't see a diff when i shot without it, but then again my eyes are going bad #lolshrug

Wifey made some cupcakes for our upcoming job together as a team. She will be doing the Hair/MakeUp and the Cake and QuickWorks will do the photography. These were made for the cake tasting.

Any tips on photo editing? What's the minimum you guys resize? I've been doing 640x42something and it seems like it takes away from the picture.

And do you guys use sharpening?
 
Yo, I have a Canon Rebel T1i....I have 4 batteries (LP-E5) but recently 2 of them have swelled to the point where I can't insert them into my camera. When I do, despite being fully charged they only show up as 1/2 charged and die within 10 minutes. What the hell man?
 
Fong don't stress it, I think it happens to all of us, once you get used to a gimmicky lense like a fisheye, tiltshift, etc...your regular zoom range lenses won't be as pleasing to your eye for some reason....happens to me all the time, until I shoot for a while with my 35, 50 or 135...then I realize it was all in my head.

Anywho a few from my niece's studio session
