<p>for a 4 miute exposure my data says 16 mins.</p>

<p>I'd say expose for 20 minutes and you should be safe</p>

Best way to get great wedding photos:

 

Give everyone attending a point and click disposable camera:)

This may be slightly off topic, but:

I shoot digital, B&W film, Color neg film, and slide film professionally (which I scan and print digitally). The key is identifying a clients needs and the look and feel of the photographs they desire.

I apologize for the condescension and arrogance displayed by Peter and Keith. It is a sign of serious personal issues and has no place here.

Thank you:)

Thanks for all the help and suggestions:)

 

Chris, I think you misunderstood my question about the Fuji. What I meant was: Does it enlarge like a 12 mp camera or like a 6 mp camera but with deeper, richer and more correct color?

Curious about the FujiFilm camera: Assuming the RAW file is uncropped, will resulting Jpeg enlarge greater than 8x10 without interpolating too much?

I have been on a strict budget for several years starting a portrait business,

and have been shooting film on with a Pentax 67 and Canon Elan 7. I have subpar

lenses for the Canon, as I purchased them with a Digital Rebel when it was

introduced before I became serious.

Here is my question- I have been admitted into a two-year commercial photography

program that requires an initial investment of about $7500.00 in equipment,

including a digital slr and studio lights. For this purchase, I will be looking

for the best affordable equipment, which for me is less than $1500 for a body,

and two lenses less than $1500 total. At this price range, what is the

difference between Canon, Nikon, and Sigma systems? My understanding is that

Canons have more features, but Nikons are sturdier, more dependable etc, and I

don't know much about Sigma except that it seams to be the only three layered

(Red, Green and Blue rather than Red, Green or blue) sensors.

 

On a budget, which system is preferable for professional digital work?

Thanks Clay:P

I am a film photographer, but have been asked to set up a booth at a bazaar to

do quick and cheap Christmas photos. I use a sinc cord with my old Pentax 67

but have heard that synching directly to a digital SLR can slowly damage the

electronics. I am aware that the voltage ratings on the 20D make it appear that

synching directly to a studio strobe will not damage the camera but am curious

what the experince is out there on this camera.

 

Thanks

"A suggestion... don't expect to find a wide variety of film in Hawaii. Bring what you need. I found very little in Oahu besides your typical Kodak Gold."

 

Imageworks in Kaimuki carries a wide variety of 35mm and 120 film- and they will also order for you so it will be there when you arrive alleviating the need to carry film through security.

Ultra-Color film is over-kill for Hawai`i.

I've lived in Hawai`i. Don't bring velvia 50 (or slide film in general)unless you want completely blown out skies, which are beautiful, btw. I'd bring Fuji (or kodak if you prefer) low contrast film. Adequate light is not usually a problem, trust me. Bring a mix of slow and high speed film however as the volcanoes are beautiful at night. I would also not bring only high color saturated film. The colors are already so saturated in Hawai`i you may be left with red green and blue. The beauty of Hawai'i is in the fine detail, not the splash and contrast.

I know an outstanding E-6 processor on O`ahu. Not sure about the big island but I'm sure he would have some leads.

Who else besides Karim himself cares if he does a good job? Better to fail miserably than to not try at all because someone else has determined for him that he is not ready. Learning is in failing. How about support rather than a crabpot putdown like an elitist "you are not ready?" Isn't that what these forums are for?

I use an Epson V500 for 6x7 B&W and slide film and am very happy. Not sure if I would recommend it for 35 mm though.

"That is basically a painting that started out as a photograph. If you have to ask how to do it you are not ready. These books will save you a lot of stumbling around though:"

 

Let's cut the elitism.
