Is it better to purchase additional lenses for my t2i or start fresh with the 6D?
I'm looking to get into wedding photography. Is it better to purchase additional lenses for my t2i or buy the 6D body?
I am in line with cicopo and TCampbell. And, yes, this is the most important statement, "Keep in mind YOUR skill is first and foremost."
Also, I agree, lenses before body, however, sometimes appearance is everything. Doing this for so long I think I have seen about every possible circumstance possible but it never ceases to amaze me when a new one arises.
For several years I had five XTi's that I loaned to my assistants. But a few clients I interviewed have asked what equipment I use. "You don't use Rebels do you?", was a common question. My uncle Bob or aunt Bobette can do that for free. Or the neighbor down the street from me has a Rebel.
Bottom line is, how important that first quote in this post is. You must offer your customers something they can not get for free. Make it worth their money.
One is your eye and talent. The ability to see the picture before hand. And, yes, equipment that the uncle or friend does not have.
I am retired now and don't actively seek jobs but I do a few . I use all 1 series cameras plus a 5D Mk II along with a 7D.
I generally have, at least 4 or 5 cameras at each wedding. The 5D gets a 24-70mm f2.8. One 1 series gets a 70-200mm f2.8 and these two cameras do 75% of the shooting. The 7D is on a tripod with a 100-400mm zoom on it and it sits at the back of the church (or venue). My assistants have my other 1 series (one or two) with the 24-105mm f4 on them.
Another example of what perception can sometimes be, is what happened while I was at a friends studio the other day.
A lady, new customer, came in for pricing and after a short while of looking the place over she left. On her way out she commented, “I thought you used professional equipment!” We were dumbfounded at that for there was a 5D Mk III with a EF 85mm f1.2L II USM on a tripod that was in plain sight. About the same moment we both noticed a Tamron pinch style lens cap on it. She must have seen that and assumed it wasn't a Canon lens. Some photographers will buy Tamron pinch style lens caps and use them instead of the OE Canon. But the point is just beware.
It makes a big difference if you are doing this for funesy or you are putting groceries on the table.
EOS 1Ds Mk III, EOS 1D Mk IV EF 50mm f1.2 L, EF 24-70mm f2.8 L,

About a year ago I purchased the student addition of the Adobe Creative suite 6 Design Standard and just recently purchased an additional computer for my home. Can I use the same disc that I previously purchased to download the program?
Yes, as long as the machine meets the system requirements for the software you can install and activate it. Your license allows you to have the software installed and activated on two machines.

I purchased additional storage for my phone not realizing it was storage for icloud. Can I get a refund?
You cannot buy additional storage for your iphone at all.
You can contact itunes support and ask if they will allow a refund. -
I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc. -
i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.
You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
Hope that helps. -
Is there an application like "snag it", which is part of the Microsoft Office suite for mac? Does it come with the Mountain Lion OS, or do I have to buy it separately? If it is a separate purchse, what would you recommend?
Built-in to OS X is the ability to capture an entire screen or selected portions. Snaps are saved to the Desktop by default:
COMMAND-SPACE-3 snaps the entire screen.
COMMAND-SPACE-4 lets you select a portion of the screen to snap.
In your Utilities folder is a utility called Grab that provides similar functionality and more.
Then there are dozens of third-party solutions such as SnapNDrag and SnapzProX. You will find them and others at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Most have trial versions or trial times so you can test them out. -
Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!
I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination. -
I just received a new macbook pro. I am looking for a usb3 external storage 500 GB drive. Some manufacturers of drives aren't for sure their drive will work with the new system. Does anybody have any suggestions for drives that will workw
There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

In order to take advantage of the iPhone trade in, do I need to have met my upgrade eldigbility date, or do I just need to re-sign up for a new 2 year plan with the new iPhone 6?
thanks, a HUGE suggestion for you: Please add that to the restrictions of the trade-in details online, it mentions that nowhere and is VERY deceptive. Since at least 90% of 5c and 5s users are under a 2 year contract and both phones have been out just a year, there will be a majority of bitter customers who fell for the ad and will be taking advantage of the buy out options the other carriers are offering.

HT1338 where is the update for aperture to make it work with the updated os x yosemite
where is the update for aperture to make it work with the updated os x yosemite
The currently sold version of Aperture at the AppStore, Aperture 3.6 is compatible with Yosemite.
See the Release notes: Aperture 3.6 Release notes
If you are running any version of Aperture 3, you should be able to update to this version. Does the update not show for you?
The update has been shown automatically for those who had upgraded from Mavericks and been running Aperture 3.5.1. Other users, who skipped Mavericks and Aperture 3.5.1 have reported problems to get the update to show and needed to contact the AppStore Support. The update did not show, if the users tried to update from an earlier version. -
2007 Intel Imac, installed a new Hdd. Started up with the install disc but it doesn't find my Hdd when asking for a destination volume to install the Mac OS. The Hdd is recognized in system profiler. Any ideas?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The hard drive is not formatted, and it must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" in order to install OS X.
Close the OS X installer, and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility. Then, format your hard drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as Format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Finally, close Disk Utility and install OS X -
Why won't OS X Mavericks start downloading when I click the download button? It thinks and acts like it starts downloading with the thinking circle moving then stops and goes away. I have tried going to the purchases in the app store and restarting it there and that is not working either.
Repair permissions, restart your computer & try again.

I have a Macbook 2.1 that runs 10.5.8. I cannot get it to start on battery power. It will run for over an hour on the battery, if you start it with the charger, but even then it shows a 0% charge! I've tried pulling the battery out while it's booted, pulling battery out and discharging the system by holding the power switch, nothing seems to make it work. any ideas? It has all the updates Apple offers, too.
Try resetting the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer. -

My iPhone 4 with cash card is slowly emptying the balance of the card. Only Wi-Fi is normally ON, most other things OFF. Are the Apps responsible for this, or is something wrong with the phone itself? How can I stop the "thief"?
I have this exact same problem. One solution is having your friends change their fake aliases on Facebook to their real bloody names, but I realise this is no easy fix.
