i've got enough wide angle pretty much. I've got my Canon 15mm fisheye and my 24-105 f4 L lens.

I need a flash, a diffuser for the flash, and i'd like to have a grip.

I've been meaning to, but I just haven't gotten around to it. I want to go thru my entire iPhoto collection and just pull the ones I want to upload, then do it all at the same time.

i agree flickr is the way to go. i have a flickr pro account. for only $2/month to keep unlimited photos safe and backed up... it's a good deal. and it is more about hobbyism than professionalism like with other sites such as smugmug which i really am not fond of. it's also less expensive.

i love how they have the private feature as well for photos that you don't need other eyes seeing but would like to keep backed up and safe. If anything ever happens to your hard drive you can always download all your photos back from flickr which is such a relief when you have thousands of your children on there that you don't want to ever lose say in a fire or something like with printed copies or saved only on a computer that get's destroyed.

In the past, all I did to adjust the colors was hue/saturation and brightness/contrast. Ro_Ja told me to try using the levels and curves options in PS. Gave it a try and still wasn't sure if colors were coming out "appropriately" because I have no idea what is appropriate. He then gave me a few parameters to use as a rule and I stick with those no matter what I think looks good/bad. lol I also cropped the top on both pics.

just cuz you got the gear doesn't mean ur gonna take awesome pictures. i've done better with a single flash...son
i agree. im used to working with a sb800 and 600 on location. those arent the real shots, just ones i like because of the 10mm angle. that was the first time shooting with that kind of set up. the pw's are sweet, the alien bees...im still up in the air about.

anyway
