<p>Hey that Is all brilliant information thank you! What do you guys do for copyright on your images?</p> <p> </p>

<p>Hi all, this is just a quick one. As I'm just in the starting out stages with photography I wanted to get all of your opinions on when you should as a photographer start charging for your services? This would be for portrait/music gig photography as I know weddings are different when charging. I've done a few photo shoots with people and music gigs and also travelled in ordered to build up a good portfolio and gain experience so I haven't charged for any of my services (as I've thought when starting out my photography wouldn't be good enough to charge) But I've came across a couple of demanding clients that take the p*** in my opinion and end up getting too big for their boots even though they've gotten the service for free. Or am I wrong? Anyways not to go off topic. I'll soon be upgrading my equipment/sorting out a website and just wanted to know what stage should I start thinking about charging and if so how much? Even if it is just for travel until I gain more experience. <br> <br />Thank you all,</p>

Hi, yeah I had a gander at the 700d but wanted to spend a little more as I don't want to have to upgrade any time soon. I've been looking at the canon eps 5d mark ii and the canon 7d with the added lens of the sigma art 35mm 1.8 what do you guys reckon?? I'm using it for low light music gig photography and dark Portraits.

@Gup Jeffries I'm looking more in to portraits and music gigs so it's rather low light. Yes I'm looking to consider earning money with the camera so I'm willing to spend a bit more for something that's going to last and that I won't need to upgrade in a few years. I've always used Nikon but currently torn for a Canon at the minute. No, your information is very useful to me so thank you very much I appreciate it. with the DX and FF bodies I've been using the DX and that seems to work for me but I'm not too sure of the FF as I haven't used one. I don't know a great deal when it comes to the camera models/technical terms so apologies in advance. Thanks again for your help with this

<p>Thank you all so much for your responses. Its certainly opened up my eyes! I'm rather new to the whole photography scene and still learning. I've have had the d3100 for a while now so I'm willing to invest in another body if its going to benefit my work in the long run. I'm just not 100% sure what I'd go for. I'm currently using the nikon dx 35mm 1.8 G lens at the minute and I love it! Its a great little lens but the sharpness and the photo's aren't standing out as much as they could (I don't know whether that is me or the body). Would you guys have any suggestion on what body to upgrade to? Thanks again everyone you've been a massive help! </p>

<p>Hi all, Basically I have been won over by the reviews on the Sigma 35mm 1.4 art lens but before I go a head and buy it I wanted to make sure it would be compatible with my Nikon D3100 body?? Also will it still perform to its best with it. I'm willing to upgrade my camera body as I want to experiment with portrait/street photography and want to get the best out of what I'm using. Any help with this?? Thank you! :)</p>
