Re: Easy Canvas Prints Review: Part 2 Conclusion: Are They Worth It?

I also read your review and ordered 2 canvases from this company. ABSOLUTELY THE WORSE. The picture was blurry, distorted and cheap canvas paper. Could see right through it. I wish i could post a pic of it. Will not be using this company again. But they did do a nice job on the wooden frame.

Best (and clearest) advice I've found so far on night-time photography with D90. Went to Venice last year and my night shots were totally disappointing! Going again soon... armed with a copy of your article. Thanks!

I belived your review and ordered one. Absolute crap. It looks as you are watching through red filter. I wonder how the person who picked it from printer didn't throw it in the garbage. Maybe I will tear the Cavas and keep the wooden frame.

Great information! I wished I had found it before I spent many, many hours and lots of money using the trial and error method with Costco. The clerks are of no help, maybe because it's Christmas time and they're way too busy. I found more help using their "Live Chat" option. By the way, there is an option in your "Account" settings to change the default print size away from 4x6, but there's no option to do away with it altogether. You have to select a size and just remember to change it before you order. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

Hi Tim,

What is the best setting as far as focal length + Aperture to get tack sharp shot? I've been using it mostly at 11mm and some of my shots are not that sharp. Any suggestion?

Just FYI - If you go into the "My Account" & "Print Preferences" section of CostCo's photo center, you can change the default setting of Auto-Correct to off for all your orders. When creating CostoCo photo account, it is automatically set to "on". You can also set your preferred finish to luste instead of glossy.

This is a nice article with cool examples. Also, interesting sources for ideas. I would like to add and show what I think is best for a certain type of photography - portraiture! I like shooting portrait and usually pick various models to pose for me. More tips on portrait photography you can find here:

Re: Recommended Cameras of 2011 - A Holiday Buying Guide

This a very informative article. I've owned 5 compact digital cameras, 3 30-year-old film cameras and a nice Nikon D90. I've used all of the mention with a variety of lenses and accessories and over the time I realized that it's all about you consider fits best in your hand and gives you the range of tools to do a certain type of photography. Anyway, here's a link on the common mistakes when buying a compact camera:

I have to agree with you on the outdoor use. I'm just getting into digital photography after a long haitus from my Kodachrome days. This lens is great in low-light. I've only had it for a couple of weeks and I'm really liking it. Auto-focuses well on my Canon 60D, although I typically fine-tune in live-view.

Great picture. I must get past the fact that light room and other software intimidates me.

Glad I found this post! I have been looking at this lens over the last few days as it is now available for my Sony A77 It's just over USD 400 and I wanted to see some example pictures. You have just sold it for me! I originally bought the Sony 30mm Macro but need more distance! Great post and I hope to pick it up over the next week or so.

Could it be that it the image was exported at screen resolution 72dpi rather than print resolution 300dpi?

I love the picture of the guy walking across the street and the patience needed to get the perfect picture. It reminds me of when I was trying to take a picture of an illusive cardinal. He was very nervous and would fly away every time I went for the shutter button. You should check out this website http://phototipsforbeginners.n...
