    Band asked me to shoot. Cover price?

    <p>Nice first attempt Sascha. Second try might not be as easy, especially if it's guy's you don't know. Things tend to change when it's a paid for job rather than a relaxed opportunity. You don't mention if you are using any sort of contract, if you maintain image rights, guaranteed stage access etc. Sounds as if you are hoping to move forward. I'd use this next gig to continue to learn from, charging basic travel expenses plus incentive $ to keep em honest. If you do good work, after more experiences, you'll know when and if you need to charge more. </p>

    Work trip to China; Take D300?

    <p>This is what a P&S is for. Perfect excuse! I'd get one for these business trips. Your odds of getting any serious photography done are slim, and the fear factor of ever having to take your eye off it simply is not worth it. </p>

    Light metering

    in Medium Format

    <p>Terrific arguments going on here. Lee, as you can read, applying accurate metering...spot or incident, is an art in itself. It will become clearer to you when your proofs are read ...provided you've bracketed, studied, and learned from each mistake. Herein lies the popularity of digital, your mistakes for the most part, are free. That said, nothing like MF's $ per shot and a true meter study to slow you down to a deeper appreciation for what you are doing. You're going to want both incident and spot capability eventually. </p>

    What style do I have?

    <p>Dude, remember anyone nowdays can become a "photographer". Success is more about business marketing than technique or style. Congratulations. Sounds like you have been bitten by the bug, which is mandatory if your passion and style are to really flourish and grow into something you just might LOVE the rest of your life. You've found the right place. Lot's of us here remember being where you are now. Exciting time! Go for it. </p>

    The Decisive Moment and the Digital Camera

    <p>I think it's the subsequent attempts that become the lesson, the study, if you will. Each time, we are honing our style, what we are trying to say....how to best say it. Perhaps as you say, Jim, it is the subconscious in our arrival upon a scene which causes us to compute and shoot instinctively, what we see to work in our mind as "the shot". Each time a cumulative affect of previous lessons. </p>

    <p>The best tool will be your mind. Difficult, if not impossible to be creative when you are cold. Therefore, prerequisite is to go out overboard protected. Dress like a warrior. Oversized parka, allowing room to tuck in your neck strapped camera between shots, being mindful of body humidity, therefore often unzipping to ventilate. Yes, you may still need to acclimate lens a moment. Forget gloves, opting for warm pockets for camera ready hands. As above, I have often also tucked in a 8 X 10 grey card for exposures, doubling as lens snow shield. Now think like a child, relax and explore. </p>
