Got my Rebel XSi yesterday and I have a question. I attached the strap but took it right back off, as I found it really hard to grip the camera comfortably with my left hand, the part of the strap that connects with the eyelet constantly got in my way. Does anyone else find this to be the case, am I attaching it wrong and is there a different way to do it? I do want the strap on as it's pretty convenient to let it hang from my shoulder.

HPL posted:Why are you gripping the camera with your left hand? You should be supporting the lens with your left hand. I am, the strap hangs right there, sometimes it flops over in front of the viewfinder, it's just distracting and annoying.

Cool, I had no idea about either of those, thank you.

Dumbass question time: When people say "I metered off his face or the wall or whatever" do they mean pointing the camera at something, pressing the shutter halfway down and letting the camera get a reading and set the exposure? Is that how you meter something with your DSLR?

I'm heading down to FL to stay at my parent's house for about 5 weeks and I haven't really taken a picture in almost 2 months. I'm giving myself a project, which is to take a black & white portrait of everyone who lives in that house. The question is when you guys shoot black & white do you set the camera to monochrome or do you shoot in color and do all your B&W stuff in post? (I'd be working in LR) Any general tips for getting great B&W shots of people?

I'm probably going to head over to the ball drop in White Plains, usually a few thousand people turn up, maybe I can get a good photograph or two. Any advice on settings and such? I'm assuming it will be well lit, I'll try to keep the shutter as fast as possible to minimize shake but is there anything else I should keep in mind?

evil_bunnY posted:The backups and your original catalog can both be used on your new install. Uninstalling LR won't delete your working catalog anyway. If I just manually delete the working folder it's no problem to import from the backups though, correct?

evil_bunnY posted:What do you mean by working folder? If I format the drive will the LR backup, upon import, have all my edited images exactly as they were? I know this is the point of a backup but I want to be sure before I format.

evil_bunnY posted:Yes. Also you don't "import" your backup, just open it in LR and off you go. It will have all your edit up to the point in time the backup was made, obviously. I was going to do both, good to know, and thanks for all the answers.
