Any examples to show?

It depends on your resolution. If you use 72 X 48 inches image during processing you will require a DPI of at least 150 or more to ensure that there are not much pixelling. You will of course need to process it with a computer that has lots of RAM i.e. 2 GB to 4 GB to ensure smooth transition during your workflow. There are many independent print shops which can print large format with 3rd party inks and different kinds of photo paper but sometimes there will be colors shift over time or when exposed to sunlight. The best will be like what Ellis said. I used a lab which has the Durst Lambda system as it provides the best color and has archival professional photo papers.

I would say go with both the Canon bodies as you then need not bring duplicate Nikon and Canon lenses as well. Some say Canon produce muted colors when compared to Nikon which are more satuirated in auto white balance. But both can be tweaked to your specification.

It's a work in progress book Richard. Going to Ho Chi MInh City next month and will include images from the city. I was there a few years ago but didn't bring along a good camera.

Thanks Craig.

I just completed a travel book on Vietnam and I like to share it with you guys. Any comments will be appreciated.

I did collaborate with agencies for many other Annual Reports and Company brochures but these are my own special

projects. A labor of love.

 

I'm still drafting the Vietnam book and adding more pages. It'll probably be ready within a week or so. This

will be

followed by books on other countries like Myanmar, Cambodia, India so any comments will be appreciated as a

publisher is keen to market it.

I know many Canon owners have adaptor mounts for using Nikon lenses but not the other way around. Canon is more renown for their longer lens whereas Nikon wide angle lens are presumably the best in the market. I use Canon, Hasselblad and Nkon systems but I prefer Nikon during travel, interior and street photography as I use Nikon's Creative Lighting System a lot. i.e. shooting multiple strobes wirelessly.

 

If you want value for money both Canon and Nikon lenses are good but go for the FF lenses as DSLR cameras will be heading that way and the value will drop for DX lenses. Before buying lenses it will be wise to also look at their ratings in Camera reviews and http://www.photodo.com/. It reviews all types of quality lenses. Enjoy your passion.

Proshow Gold is good. It works like a video clip. You can render with music, voiceover and all the bells and whistles. Many wedding events use it during their cocktail or dinner functions.

It is strange that the some people believe bad news happen in three. Hopefully it will stop now.

 

Alberto Conde, one of the great pioneers in PN, Sarah Underhill and Yuri Bonder all passionate and talented pohotographers. I will miss them dearly.

here is a cleaner version. Email me alec@alecee.com for the larger version.<div></div>

Get the Nikkor AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4D. Excellent for low light conditions. I use it all the time.

Andrew, I learn a long time ago to give sample images of not more then 800 X 600 resolution. Anything higher will be chargeable.

 

Shooting directly with in-built flash generally cause reflection from people with spectacles. Shooting with external strobes placed correctly can prevent this.

It depends on how good you are and how much effort you put in your own marketing. For that I mean - do you have a portfolio of your works. Can people judge the quality of what they will be receiving?

 

I usually charge about $1500 for half a day and rendering of for final 50 images chosen.

I can recognize her images in PN as it has the special composition and colors that makes it 'uniquely Sarah'. I will always remember her charming disposition and love for travel. Will miss her dearly. Condolences from Singapore.

I note a lot of guys here are retired and taking up Photography as a way out of boredom? Hmmmmmmmm. Guess I also included in the boat guys.

 

Been a corporate road warrior covering Asia Pacific for more than 30 years working with distributors, agent and subsidiary offices. Always dabbled in photography emailing product shots and such. So it is a natural progression to concentrate on my passion after I left the rat race.

 

Lovin' it so far, stopping to smell the roses and getting paid. What more can a person ask for?

Charles, you must be new to photography for not knowing his website. http://www.kenrockwell.com/gallery.htm

Welcome to the club! I have many images lifted into blogsites and the like this way but normally with credit given. There is only one Italian consultant firm which daringly displayed my image as the first page in their website. How can people trust and do business with them after that? As usual no replies after I contacted them and it too tedious to follow up legally with another country.

 

Just type out your full name Jodie-andrefiski, in Google search and you'll be amazed how many did it.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.......images in 3D stereo....lov them especially Disney characters when I was a kid. Should still be available at Toys-R-Us

That's why it is called the 'magic hour' after sunset.

I was curious with your statement and after looking at your PN website I am dissapointed - it's like saying about yourself. Perhaps you have more to offer?

Try using manual focus with zoom and if you have an external flash point it up to the ceiling if it is white. The bounce light will give very pleasant soft shadows. If you want catch-light on the animal eyes then use a bounce card on the flash.

Do you mean that it has also dissapeared from your folder?

Yes, $1000 to $1,500 should be the average 1/2 day rate. Depends on also whether he requires corrected perspective for lens distortion and what kind of size.
