no worries

Thanks Will. I did respond in post 5 "I came up with my pricing for the shoot by what others who were charging as well. Those figures were listed on the sites." Thanks for your responses. OD

Thanks for the conversion.....Pricing for "fine art photography" and "portrait/ family" photos seem to be on two different pricing scales, probably because customers are already paying a pretty hefty fee upfront for just getting the family photos taken. My pricing is dramatically different (higher) for the landscape photos I sell.

thanks Steve. This is actually close to what i ended up charging. Believe it or not many of the High-end local photographers that specialize in this type of photography charge around $35 for 5x7's. That's in addition to the fee for just the shoot which seems to range between $300-$500 in the Baltimore area. It's amazing what parents will pay for photos! Not a bad markup. I'll check out the link. thank you

Thank you for your responses. For some reason, i wasn't getting notifications on your responses even after ticking the button to have responses send to my email? I ended up contacting some reputable portrait/family photographers in the area and they shared their current pricing setup. They all seemed to be similar figures. I came up with my pricing for the shoot by what others who were charging as well. Those figures were listed on the sites.

Hello, Curious to know how photographers are pricing their prints that the clients decide to purchase?.. 4x6 5x7,8x10 11x14 etc. I recently did a family photo session for some friends and they want prints. I may do them on my own with epson 3880 which is more expensive than a local lab, but either way, I'm just trying to get a feel for how photographers hand that part of the job. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks Owen .

i haven't tried this yet, but i may just try to shoot in 1.5 crop mode on D810 to make a 36mm. Still big file at 4800x3200.

i would think it would be symmetrical distortion if that was the case. not one-sided?

The lens is the nikon 24mm PC-E. most to the time i'm shooting around f11 as in this shot i attached a larger image, not cropped. TC is fine on my 70-200. its unlikely, i'm guessing, that it would be a smudge due to the exactness of the blur along the left side. I never would have considered using the tc on ts either until I went on a shoot with a friend who uses his tc on 24 all the time with great results. he's a canon guy and shoots a lot of commercial architecture

I've noticed that when I'm shooting with my 1.4 kenko tc on my 24mm ts lens, the left edge is blurry. right edge looks fine. without tc both edges are fine. the tilt is set to O. any ideas as to what might be happening? shooting with the d810 thanks owen

thanks for the reply Sandy, unfortunately, these techniques require you to be on location. I think i may just have to do a guesstimate based on how many stories the building is.

Does anyone out there know how to accurately determine the height of a building remotely? I have several shoots that i need to do in the city and surrounding buildings create a challenge when determining the length of a shadow on the street and side of a building. I found a calculator that can give you the heigh if you have the: 1. distance from building from where you are standing 2. angle to the top of the building from where you are standing I use the sun surveyor app most of the time and it can measure distance on the ground and give you an angle to the top of the building, however, I'm not sure how accurate it is based on some testing done on known heights of existing buildings. The safe route would probably shoot at high noon to avoid shadows altogether, but I still would like to shoot the buildings in the best possible light later or earlier in the day. Any ideas would be great. Thanks Owen

Hello I've had several prints done through "nations photo lab" and "bay photo" and I think they do a great job. However, I'm looking for alternative companies that produce similar results on canvas at a cheaper price. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you Owen
