    tripod shooters

    'I think when Bob says, "the 'pod", he means tripod, not the product called The Pod.'

     

    Ha ha, thanks Nadine, I guess my mind went to the other Pod because I had just been looking at it earlier that day!

    Thank you all for your responses. I don't use my tripod much but will be doing so for an

    upcoming wedding.

     

    I just realized that my new MC-30 Remote Cord will only work with my D200 and not my D70

    (which was the camera that I was planning on putting on the tripod). There is a MC-DC1

    Remote Cord that works with the Nikon D70s. Apparently if I use the D70 with the tripod I

    will have to

    manually push the shutter release button!

    Hi, For those of you who utilize tripods, I am wondering if...

     

    A) you always use a cable release cord or do some of you skip that and just

    directly push the shutter button?

     

    B) you ever use a flash bracket in combination with your tripod (perhaps when

    shooting formals)?

     

    Thank you, Lia

    Help Needed: What company do you use?

    I have used and like instaproofs, but they are only an online viewing & ordering system, not a lab. You have to full-fill the orders yourself.

     

    Based on my experience, I echo everything that Conrad said about Pictage, though some people have had success with them.

     

    Collages has a nice interface and you can pay per event which is nice, though currently their lab services can only be utilized by PC users. I am a Mac user so have just used them for online viewing & ordering (then fullfilled any orders myself).

     

    I have heard many good things about Digilabs but have not tried them yet.

    printing Hahnemuhle photo rag on Epson R2400- help!

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    Hi, I have the Epson stylus Photo R2400 printer. I typically use it to print Epson heavy wt. matte paper and

    also Hahnemule fine art photo rag paper. Recently it stopped printing the Hahnemule paper (only). I

    receive messages indicating that there is a communication error or the inappropriate paper size was

    selected (even though I have the correct size selected). I am printing from a Mac in Adobe Illustrator.

     

    Does anyone have any tips about how I can possibly get the tHahnemule paper to feed through the printer

    so it will print (it is a thick paper)? I have tried several different things with no luck and am at a loss....

     

    Thank you!

    Thank you Kevin. Yes they do seem great to deal with. And yes I would love to see your new site when it is live!

     

    Anyone else? What do you like & not like about your sites features? Is there anything about it that you feel limited by?

     

    Thanks, Lisa

    web site companies; Creative Motion Design, Big Folio, BluDomain. What features of your site are you

    most happy with (if you used one of these companies) and what do you wish could be different?

    Thank you, Lisa

    35mm negative scannning

    Thanks Alan, but I would think doing 6o scans would take a really long time to do...? Therefore I am not looking to do this myself. The negatives appear to be in good condition.

     

    Hi Larry, I am not clear on what information you were reffering me to, is it on the 'FAQ' page? I jsut saw info mainly on ftp and ICC profiles...

     

    Thanks, Lisa

    Hi, I need to have around 60 frames scanned so that I can make a 10x10 digital coffee table book.

    Some local labs (in NYC) charge around $3 per frame/scan (and more for really huge files). I just did a

    google search and there are some online services (scancafe.com, britepix.com, etc) that charge much less

    (say around 50 cents, depending on the DPI).

     

    I am leary about using one of the cheaper online services... but want some facts to back up why I should

    fork out the extra dough for a local pro lab to do the scans. Any insight on what I should be aware of

    when choosing a lab or service to scan my negs would be appreciated.

     

    Also, when you have negs scanned, do the digital files typically require some light photoshop work, such

    as retouching dust marks?

     

    Thanks, Lisa

    charging for second shooter

    in Wedding & Event

    Posted

    Hi, I am wondering how much you charge to add an extra shooter to your package

    and/or how you arrived at that price.

     

    I am not necessarily asking how much you actually pay the second (or third)

    shooter; I am more curious how you arrived at the amount that you charge the

    client for the extra shooter. With an additional shooter present, you are most

    likely supplying a higher number of images to the client so I assume that you

    add on extra $ to account for the additional post processing workload and

    additional material costs for proofing... am I missing anything?

     

    Thank you! Lisa
