<p>I am just getting started, and alot of photographers are giving the CD's with their entire session fee, however, I have my sights set higher, and don't know if that is the best route. It seems my friends that get the CD's never print the pictures anyway. What do you think?</p>

<p>Is it possible to get the richness of Kodachrome film using a digital camera without post-processing in Photoshop? In the example below (from the wonderful <img src="http://shorpy.com" alt="shorpy.com" />) the color richness is way beyond anything I can produce with my digital camera. Is there some technique that will allow me to get this kind of color?</p>

http://fotoanswers.com/questions/31/replace-nikon-d40-with-d5000Replace Nikon D40 with D5000?Shawn Swaner2009-10-14T04:26:13Z2010-03-07T09:30:21Z
<p>I have a Nikon D40 that has worked really well for the past year, but with the new D5000 down to around I think it might be time to upgrade. The D5000 has twice the pixels and twice the ISO range. For casual, non-professional photography am I going to notice a big difference? I also noticed that the framing rate is better on the D5000 (4 fps vs. 2.5). Is there enough of a difference to upgrade, or should I wait another year and see what they have next year? The D40 works great, but the D5000 looks like twice the camera for $600. </p>

http://fotoanswers.com/questions/120/how-do-you-get-around-the-ownership-photographers-feel-over-locationHow do you get around the ownership photographers feel over location?Kim Nevels photography2009-10-16T06:36:28Z2010-03-07T01:25:38Z
<p>I know this is similar to a question I've asked already, but I'm trying to figure out how to ask it. What I'm looking for is what you in regards to location to shoot at a location another photographer uses without causing issues. Photographers seem to feel an ownership to a location when they have found a lush green location. Living in Arizona, there are so few lush, green places you can photograph, especially without paying for the location. So how do you go to a place someone else obviously uses without burning bridges with them? Or do you just do it and if they are offended then you look for other photographers to get help from?</p>

<p>I look at other photographers stuff all the time. I like what some do, or I like where they shoot. How do I merge the balance between seeing what they do and copying it, while I build my confidence in myself without having others feel like I'm just trying to copy them and steal their business? </p>

<p>Currently I shoot in RAW and then to edit my photos, I edit the RAW files in Adobe Bridge, then PS3. I have read many other photographers workflow, and many are using Lightroom. What is the difference? Is Lightroom better? Would I even need to use Photoshop if I use Lightroom?</p>
http://fotoanswers.com/questions/55/where-are-good-outdoor-places-in-the-east-valley-for-outdoor-shotsWhere are good outdoor places in the East Valley for outdoor shots?Kim Nevels photography2009-10-15T02:26:20Z2010-03-04T13:26:56Z
<p>I am just a amateur so I don't feel comfortable charging a lot at this point. So I can't go to places that charge me to shoot there. So I am struggling to find places to shoot where I can have someone meet me and not feel like we are about to get into trouble, yet when I see great places that someone has taken photos at, they don't want to let me know where it is. I understand photographers don't want "their" spot over run, but where do I go???</p>
