I have a canon digital rebel too, I shoot in raw form, but the camera is slow.
I would like to snap, snap, my pic. and it runs so slow...tells me it's busy.
What can I do? Anyone know?
Thanks

A faster card (pending you don't have one already) might help some.
Good thread.

Don't shoot RAW mode - change settings to JPG - the camera has a buffer range for big files and has to process the info - RAW means uncompressed and sloooowwwww - JPEG the way to go - smaller file size equals speed.
Man, the Canon must be ultra slow compaired to the Nikon D70. I think the Nikon has a 8 Raw pictures buffer. I've never been able to out pace the camera.... just the flash.

Thanks for the info. guys, I will have to ask my man, why he likes to shoot in Raw mode.
I was talking with Stewie, and he likes the Nikon too.
I know we have a fast card, I think, we were shooting in Raw, cause the pics. were alot nicer looking.
Is it karma or just the way it is? - everyone I have asked for advice talks down to me..."go play with your camera and figure it out for yourself little boy" or flat out ignores my questions - just because I don't give it up doesn't mean they should do it too...haha - Why is it so top secret how something is lit? Industry secrets...competition, yeah yeah yeah - whatever - it's all been done before - read a book blah blah blah - we are all trying to make a living so be nice and help a bro out - now ask me your questions and I will try to be nice and answer each one.
Red - I can only speak for myself here but I don't mind helping someone out with some very generic type photography questions. However, some questions about a certain technique that I may have used to get this look or that look...I may not be as comfortable discussing. I have techniques that I've developed and fine tuned over the last few years that I'm not willing to discuss with other shooters. Who wants to spend years fine tuning techniques and learning new skills just to hand it all over to the first guy who asks..."how did you do that"? I know that we are all out there trying to make a living but the bottom line is that you and the person that your asking advice from might be competing for the same dollar. You really shouldn't take it so personal

Designers are stuck with the same thing. There are tricks and techniques.
I have always given them up freely, and there are alot of coveted design tricks by many designers.
In fact Tylo recently put up some really good information and a long held secret amoung "Good" designers that demonstrates how to get hair to look very natural in a photo crop in design.
Personally I have never had a reservation about providing information to other's. I know for a fact there is somthing no other designer can do and that is capture the spirit in how I do things. Techniques and tricks are really minutia in the grand scheme things and there is somthing inherent in every person that is creative. It is ZEN in it's best sense, the spirit of "just doing can not be immitated" no matter how hard others may try.
So in that fiath I discuss what and how I do things rather openly and give my peer's the best of luck in helping them with things they may want to know.
Experience yield's the artists value and again that can not ever be immitated..

Like I said - I do the same thing - but - that said - some shooters protect some silly shit.

RAW is undoubtedly better - especially if you plan to do publishing other than web site stuff - like a magazine or book - RAW is best to have because of the capabilities in post - I shoot both usually
Like I said - I do the same thing - but - that said - some shooters protect some silly shit.
Red....what is silly and trivial to you, might not be to someone else
If it was that damn silly, I doubt you'd be asking "how did you do that"...right?
Red please, what the minimun light "scenario" for taking good indoor nude pictures?
You can do it with two lights - but - three is best for full figure nudes - I use three almost always - one for face light - one for fill, and one for edge background to give dynamics against a usually dark background indoors. It is personal preference color schemes and such but the raw hot lights are usually too hard for glamour - soften them with gels or scrims.
