Unless you live in the desert areas like in Arizona; then fall through spring is ideal!

Earlier B&W films were Orthochromatic (not sensitive to certain wavelengths of light,) Panchromatic B&W film on the other hand is sensitive to most wavelengths of light...I suspect the blue flash bulbs provided the type of light that worked better with Panchromatic B&W film.

Thank you William, Yes, that is Arizona. Glad you liked the Bugatti...I'll tell you that was one heck of a ride! I really liked your advise to respond quickly, unfortunately I couldn't sit down and draw up the Usage Rights till tonight. Oh well; In the future I'll be sure to respond right away to what ever request I might get. At least I'll be following through. Thanks again for all your help!

Hi William, I really like your approach to my question. The company I'm talking about own some drive-in theatres. Over the years I have shot their Scottsdale location several times (which does not exist anymore,) and they're looking for imagery of their Glendale location (something they, and I don't have much of.) Based on the imagery they're looking for, and what I've done for them in the past; I have told them it would take me a few months to properly capture the right images during their special events, and take me even longer to fully finish the images. Because of the time involved and the cost of all the work involved to do this properly; I'm sure they're not going to pay what ever that adds up to. So I offered the fully finished images I've already shot years ago that could be used at any of their locations rather quickly if they wanted. Your advise of $250 per image is what I'll offer for three years. Do you have a suggestion what type of cloud service or template to use for a "Standard Usage Rights Invoice?" I also like the idea of avoiding a negotiation, so I'll send them the Standard Usage Rights Invoice and make it valid for 30 days. And no worries about not being greedy; I've already spent a few grand on this years ago, and I'm not doing freebies anymore! If they don't want pay what ever the going rate is; that is perfectly fine with me. In case your curious, those color images have been on my website for years. http://www.leisuretimephotography.com (Make sure flash is turned on!) Yea I know; it's not really being supported anymore and I really need to update my site. Once there click on "Fun at the Drive-in," or you can see then on your smartphone without having to worry about flash. In any case; thank you very much for your help!

I've been contacted by the Director of Marketing of a theatre chain for the possible use of my already completed touched up high resolution color images (shot a number of years ago) for their theatre. They have seven locations (in different states) and the use could incorporate one or all of the following...Web, Flyers, Postcards and Banners. The images may be used at only one location or all seven. There's one site that suggests "Per Image = $250, or Per Use $250 per license use on image, but I don't know if that price would be correct in this situation. In this particular case; I would not mind one price (Per Image) for unlimited use for a certain period of time anywhere from three to five years. At this point there has been no talk about price. Even so; it was communicated (via email) I would be compensated, (and told via phone they really don't have a budget for this, and I've also been told by the same person they will see what they can do.) I said I would get back with them about the cost. I'm posting this to ask for suggestions on what kind of price range would be reasonable. Thank you...

<p>The camera body's job is to be light tight and provide a means for exposures. That has not changed in over 100 years. <br> It's the film/sensor/lens/photographer combination, and use of light that make the difference. </p> <p> </p>
