I feel like everything in Picasa is overdone.

Lr is the way to go if you don't want to spend the cash on full Photoshop.

It was on sale for $99 last month. Watch Adobe's site or sign up for their e-mails.

Ok, thank you sir

That offer for $99 for Lr was if you also bought Ps or the CS suite. If you're a student it's $75 no matter what.

I shot this with my Iphone 4s. IMO for an Iphone and no editing, this picture didn't turn out to bad.

There you go, fellas...
Throw away your fancy DSLR's, say no to strobes and Adobe who?
All you need is an iPhone.
And Picnik.
Or Instagram.
And some duckface.

Bought this for my fiancee on the way home. Took this picture with my new 60D and 430EX II. Literally the first time I used it. Pretty low light sitch. Bounced the flash off a wall to my right. I am like a kid in a candy store right now.

Gonna read the manuals some and play more.

That's pretty good.
DOF is nice, bounce is good, creating a really neutral lighting scene with minimal shadows.

I recommend this book: Amazon.com: David Busch's Canon EOS 60D Guide to Digital SLR Photography (9781435459380): David D. Busch: Books

He explains all the camera's controls in plain English, and in addition to that he explains scenarios for when and why to use certain settings. I got his book for the 7D and feel that this book will bring you up to speed very quickly!

I definitely wasn't trying to say that. I was just trying to share a shot I took with the IPhone camera. I don't claim to be a photographer, and never will. Just trying to share some Z love.

P.S.- this shot wasn't taken with instagram or anything like that. Just the regular camera app.
