Hello, wondering if anyone can help, I have a couple hundred old photos which I want to put onto my PC to create a photobook with. I can't decide the best way to do this, some suggest using a scanner which is fine I can do but the quality isn't all that great and other suggest using a DSLR (...

Thankyou all, much appreciated that would explain a thew things. I will look to get a TTL Flash gun compatible with my camera as im just starting to use flash ( normally i dont use flash )

This may be a stupid question to most on this forum, I purchased a speedlite flash gun about a year ago which had no instructions with it. Can anyone help\advise on how my flash should work? I get the part it either sits on top of your camera or on a external stand, i have been taking photos...

As i said before, going outside wont even be possible. The dancers come to get the photos done then perform after. I wont have time to take them to a near park as its in the middle of a town. I think i can only trial and error and get a new backdrop and lights for this to even work sufficiently.

@TonyHall good idea on the background, just checked today and i think it needs replacing ( its 5 years old!) so i will get another roll. It would be great to get out to a park like you said or even outside, unfortunately that's unlikely going to be possible due to the British wet summer we...

Hi Phil, Thanks for your advise on the above, i will look into what you stated about creating a black background not achieved this before. One issue i have is the white background is only 2m long some groups will have 15-20 students in the one photo which then give the actual background causing...

How do i get these other people involved? ( sorry a little new to the site )

Tony no worries, i assume your not being sarcastic. I appreciate your opinion and advice so thanks so far.

Ok i will try and get an original at some point, so the answers to your questions @TonyHall are below. What problems do you wish to fix? - So the backdrop is a paper role which is 2m long, i cant decide if i should shoot with or without the backdrop for quality as these are sold to the...

ok thanks for your help much appreciated

oh ok thanks anyway.

Fair point, it's clear to see now its down to how i use the camera i think. I am doing full Portraits but that's a different issue i have, im still learning so your right and thanks very much :) You may be able to help me out on my other post...

Thanks both, get your point now i wont upgrade the body and look more into detail as to why or what i need to do to improve my photography :)

thanks for that, well i wanted to make a career maybe out of photography. Still some way to go yet, its probably more of technique which i have problems with than the camera. I find that the photos i take sometimes don't look very good or the quality is poor, if im honest i know b****r all about...

I have had a Canon Eos 550d camera for about 4-5 years now and wanted to upgrade to the canon Eos 5d, im a bit confused at the moment as i spoke to a Canon store who advised me to not bother???? Some reason i cant understand why they would advise that to me other than so say the 550d has a...
