$50 / 10 images = $1 dollar per image. 500 iamges x $1 = $500.00

Is basic math that hard?"

 

Apparently for you it is :)

My 17-55DX 2.8 almost never comes off my D2X. Sometimes the 70-200 goes on when shooting tighter from a distance... but that's about it!

What I don't understand, is why your husband is "buying" your D70s?

Formatting doesn't actually remove the data, so you should be fine. You will need some data recovery software to use.

The flash works fine, and all flash/camera connections work normally. Happens on the camera shoe, as well as on my sc-17 and sc-29 cables.

Low light concerts? you need some faster glass and perhaps a D2Hs. A d70 is not the tool for you.

I think I might be missing something. In my shooting menu, I have the Flash

shutter speed set to 1/60th (standard). But when I have my SB800 mounted in i-

TTL mode, and the camera in aperture priority mode, it does't set the shutter

to 1/60. The meter acts just as if there were no flash attached. Not a huge

deal as I normally shoot in manual, but I know that it USED to do this.

 

What am I missing?

David. I would do exactly what you are doing... upload a custome curve, lots of contrast, etc.. and assign it to a shooting bank. I tried this, but still end up shooting in color, and converting later.

Hang it, then spray it a bit with Fabreeze. Fabreeze takes wrinkles right out of cotton.

I use the Sekonic 308, because I needed a very basic/simple meter that would read ambient light. It really is no different than setting it to an ISO... it then shows you what shutter speed to use for any given aperture. You then set your camera accordingly. They can also do a number of other little things.

(2) 4GB cards, and (2) 2GB cards. I also have a 1gb and 4gb backup microdrives just in case.

I use a local pro-lab as well as mpix.com.

I attended a really good friend's wedding about two months ago, and brought my: <br><BR>

 

Nikon D2X<br>

Sb-800 flash<br>

70-200 2.8<br>

17-55dx 2.8<br>

 

I used the 200 during the ceremoney, and the 17-55dx for averything else. Even though I was carrying around a monster, I made sure to stay completely out of the way of the hired photogs.

I find it odd that so many photographers here pack things like threads and needles, just in case the bride needs a quick sew job? You would think that things of this nature would be the responsibilty of the mom, or maid of honor, or something. Why the photographer? It doesnt' make any sense to me.

Mac.. PC... Mac... PC. The discussion is often times based around which people think is more stable or reliable, or is based strictly on what they are already familiar with. First off, new Macs use the same baisc hardware as PCs, including their drives, and intel based processors. So most, if not all hardware discrepencies now have an equal playing field.

 

What tends to make a PC less reliable, is the fact that windows is a far more finiky operating system (however, not as much so with xp sp2). What that means in reality, is that the more you do to it... the more misc progreams you install... the less careful you are about changes you make, the easier it is to muck up the operating system. Mac OS is more difficult to goof up as a lot of such configuration and customization is hidden from the user.

 

I personally support a network with over 1000 XP sp2 PCs, and 3 macs (yes.. 3) and globally, the pcs are exceptionally reliable. The biggest failure I see, is hard drive failure, which has nothing to do with any type of mac/pc debate. It's simply the one piece of the computer with the most moving parts, that also generates heat. The exame same issue exists with Macs. I have a few friends that are hard core mac users, that have had their drives fail. We have nothing but problems with the 3 MACs on our network, but only because we are running a server 2003 environment, and there are some compatibility issues. The MACs themselves, run just fine.

 

So in my opinion, if you know how to build a clone PC, and know exactly how to keep an XP os running smoothly, you can build one hell of a system for a fraction of the cost of a MAC, with the same reliability. If you aren't in the know of how to keep a PC running smoothly (and most people are not) and are inevitibly going to end up breaking the OS.. the a MAC is maybe the way to go.

 

In short:

Is the machine running on a PC based network? = use pc

Is the machine running on a MAC based network? = use mac

Is the machine a stand alone computer in your office? = follow the above.

nothing in my email :)

Does anybody have one they could share? I am selling my negatives for the

first time, and need to have a property release that I can give with the disc.

you know, the typical right to print, not sell.. etc. etc.

 

I tried searching, but came up empty.

I have a sc17 and an sc29, and there is no difference in functionality, except for the red focus assist light you get with the 29. I do vastly prefer the new locking mechanism... the screw down one on the sc-17 really sucks in comparrison.

 

Also, you will need a new anti-twist plate for the 29, as the plastic shoe mount is a tad larger than that of the 17, and it wont fit.

not enough information to provide an answer. What time of day? where is your primary light source? are you asking about key light, or fill light? daytime/nighttime?

 

give us something to work with here.

Am I missing something? or did everybody else miss this line here?

 

"He is insisting on full payment before sending us our albums."

 

It sounds to me like you still owe him money. I don't deliver prints without first being paid either.

Iv heard of this before and if I recall correctly, it is an issue with the D200, not the lens, but I am not 100% sure.

uuhhh... dont stand in water holding your camera, that is all I can say. Please tell me it is going to be on a boat? If so, it shouldn't be any different than anything else, except for maybe a lack of shade and a need for a c-polarizer.

I shoot with 3 lenses with my D2X<br><br>

 

1. 17-55 f2.8 dx<br>

This is used for most everything, including getting ready, formals, precessional, venue, etc...<br><br>

 

2. 70-200 f2.8<br>

This is typically used for the ceremony only, as I like to be to the back/sides and shoot from a relative distance<br><br>

 

3. 50 f1.8<br>

I use this guy for low light reception shots.. dancing.. etc.

I agree... I find the 5x7 aspect ratio to be the most appealing of all. 4x6 tends to look TOO rectangular to me.
