Canon 400d…Is the ‘Landscape’ mode better than the ‘auto’ mode for taking pics of landscapes,sky & scenery?

Hi Camera people..
I have recently bought the Canon 400d and I am slowing getting to grips with things!..
What I would like to know is this..Will Landscape always be better than Auto for landscapes,skies,and scenery shots?..What is the difference with the two modes when taking these kind of shots or are they virtually the same?
Also,what are the best settings to have when taking shots at outdoor festivals when it’s dark but their is good stage lighting?..
Thanks..much appreciated

Since all photos end up being the result of a subjective decision, only you can decide.

Do some tests using both modes and then look at the images on your computers monitor and look for details that are better on one when compared to the other. Then you will know.

what is a good name for a photography business?

my sister and i are thinking about setting up a small local business as photographers. our target market is mainly mothers. photographing babies and their mothers and also some local landscape prints for tourists etc. but we need to think of a name that would suit the business. nothing too cheesy…. more modern. any ideas?
my sister likes Flair Photography but i’m not so sure…..

Something quite classy would be something technically related to photography, like Aperture Photography or Focus Photography. How about “Scope Photography” as your business has a wide range of subjects to photograph, or “Wide Angle Photography” or Wide Shot Photography or Exposé (like exposure but frenched up to sound better lol)

What kind of mulch should I use?

I grow tomatoes every year and I go through the trouble of using landscaping fabric to keep weeds away. It’s a lot of work. Do you think it’s acceptable to use pine needles? I have a ton of pine trees in my yard and the needles are plentiful. Or is there something in pine needles that would hurt the plants?

lay down newspaper first. (lightly spray with water as you lay it out so it don’t blow away until you get some mulch on top of it)… then whatever mulch you like…do it in sections so the papers don’t dry out till you get them covered….
………….. we’ve used grass clippings, straw, shredded paper, pine needles,compost… whatever… then it can all be turned right into the soil at the end of the season….. if you need a good footpath between rows, lay down some roofing shingles!…. they’ll be easy to find to take OUT before tilling….
