<p>Hey, im currently looking for a way to tether my EOS 6D when shooting on location. In my modest studio, I have a dedicated editing PC all set up and its great. I was considering a few options.<br>

Anyone with experience that can help me weight the pros/cons of a microsoft surface/chromebook/galaxy note/laptop. I would also need to use the device for displaying a digital portfolio from time to time.</p>

<p>Right now im leaning towards the samsung galaxy route, and using it as basically just a monitor. Id like to keep it under 500 if possible. maybe there are some options I am missing as well?</p>

 

<p>I have been loving my 6d. I think it is ideal for a person like me who is big on adventure. It is much lighter then a 5dII/III and I think that is a very often overlooked feature. The gps is a nice bonus if you are planning to reshoot things deep in the wilderness. The wifi is great in studio and astrophotogaphy, and the high ISO performance is outstanding.</p>

<p>I do wish for a the body to have better weather sealing, but I will be purchasing a rain cover for shooting in really bad weather.</p>

<p>The lack of center point AF doesnt bother me at all, as I usally focus and recompose are manual focus. I LOVE that i can change my eyepiece to a split focus... LOVE THAT</p>

<p>My 24-105 f4 is L has devolped zoom creep after two weeks of light shooting. As a nikon convert to the 6d, I must say I am a little sad to have to send it in already. Has anyone had success in Canon fixing zoom creep on this lens? I love the new gear and have re subscribed to photo net. I look forward to spending time here and meeting fellow photographers and sharing ideas. Just looking to ease my mind a bit while I wait for my camera back (I sent in the body as well, for a general inspection, just in case). I guess I will be shooting with my d70 for a few more weeks. </p>

<p>I am also planning to get the photo.net insurance. Any experiences you care to share with the service? I was unable to get coverage via my homeowners policy.</p>

<p>oh and the overmath on it is 600 in, 1100k if i were to sell it All. if i sold the 30x40, half the mat prints, and 2 11x14 i should break even.</p>

<p>thanks for the feedback. I did some research yesterday and I have decided I will be purchasing rolled canvas prints and stretching them myself (gallery wrap style) and then handpainting the sides to produce a finished product. My display is gonna be....</p>

<p>1 30x40 (85 dollars to produce) priced at 175<br>

2x 16x20 (32) 50<br>

2x 22x28 (50) 100<br>

4x 11x14 (22) 40</p>

<p>then have single mats printed and ready to frame of<br>

15 8x10 (4.50) for 15<br>

15 5x7 (3.50) selling @ 10<br>

5x 11x14 (10) selling @ 20.</p>

<p>Do you think the markups for the canvas pieces should be higher. The idea to keep them lower (around 2x markup) would be to help compete. The events im going to are not flea markets. They are all over night camping style fesivals with music, art, and more. More of a faire setting really. main one in October is around 10,000 people.</p>

<p>Ok, I have been struggling in this economy, between seasonal work, unemployment, high gas prices etc. I studied photography in college, and have been shooting for years for my own personal pleasure. I have been waiting to have what i feel is a strong base of images before I ever considered presenting my work professionally, and I am still working to that goal. Right now I have been forced to sell some of my lenses and have made the decision to adventure into my passion finally help me, and at the same time provide people with a quality product that they will cherish and enjoy for a long time.<br>

I have been fortunate to meet an indivdual who does custom screen prinitng and art as a traveling vendor to festivals and events here in the Northwest USA, things like barter faires, hempfests, concerts, and he does decent at these events making sales of the products he takes. Our both will be a large mixed media area with handmade clothing, paintings, photos, and more. This is just some background for you, now on to a few questions.</p>

<p>First of all, I need to be clear about my budget restraints here. I have 600 dollars to work for my printing and finishing costs. Its not a , oh ok I can get 1k if I really have to , situation.</p>

<p>So I am wondering what advice you can give me on the best use of the 600 dollars to present a great product. I do own a matter cutter, but I do not feel compent matting and framing prints from an online lab myself. Because of this I have been considering services like MPIX and printing gallery wraps, standouts, etc.</p>

<p>http://mpix.com/Mounting.aspx<br>

Does anyone have any experience with these services?<br>

Do you recomend anything in regards to price structure based on these printing costs? For example, and 8x10 is 25 flat, so I could sell these for 40? Do you think that is to high of a price point at this sort of event? When I go to local art festivals I often see photos being sold for 400-500 dollars, but I have never done this before so I would like to hear your experience and opinions.</p>

<p>Am I better off spending 200 on 2 very nice large standouts for eye catches and price these high, then sell smaller matted images?</p>

<p>Do you think I would be better off printing images and then framing them myself with frames from a craft store?</p>

<p>Thanks for any and all advice! Chow</p>

I dont know where you plan on hiking but the 7 lakes basin provides amazing landscapes.

 

appelton pass if you want to shoot wildlife. Great shots are also found in the Hoh Rainforest.

 

 

Basically, the OLNP is, in my opinion, the most diverese and photogenic of all our national parks. Its really hard to go wrong as a photographer there. Have a great trip.

again its all about working distance. the more time u spend on your stomach the more it will ring true.

On the same note i was wondering what online vendor has the best prices on small canvases (say 16x20). Im lookin to print up a landscape series or two to trade at some local barter events later this summer as finished pieces (streched over wood frames, ready to hang) but im on a limited budget (500 dollars).

Hi guys (and gals). I have a question for you :). What color slide film (120)

has the lowest color contrast?
