    <p>iPhone 6... seriously. The quality is good and the battery lasts a long time.</p>

    <p>It could be your attitude about shooting formals/groups that is the issue. If you looked forward to producing pictures of that type to please your customer then it might not be such a problem getting good results. A positive attitude coupled with a vivacious personality helps. Or it could be lack of experience... in which there is generally only one way to get over that. Making a personal connection with grumpy Uncle Harry - like primping him a bit - helps too.</p>

    <p>Amen I say to you... I completely understand your distain for the foam-rubber straps. I dislike them also. The strap I use on all of my cameras is similar to that but not as wide and not as expensive. Nice looking strap, though, and I even like the colors. I still have the original F3 strap from the 1980s and it is really wine colored - the color of a fine Port I would say.</p>

    <p>They are very different films. I don't consider Ektar to be "an extra yard" ahead of Portra 160.</p>

    <p>Unless you want to do large amounts of movements a press camera will be fine. Yes, they can produce quality exposures with good image quality. It depends upon the operator more than the equipment itself.</p>

    So how did it go?
  7. BrianS1664879711
    Some dot-org's are ok too

    Get the slr and enjoy the ability to change lenses

    Can't help you with pricing but I know a thing or two about baptisms. Know as much as you can about the rituals, the setting, and the peculiarities of the religious community. Not all Baptisms are alike. In fact I'd rather shoot a wedding than a baptism... That's how difficult it could be. Good luck to you and congrats to the new Christian!

    Ok, maybe skydiving at 80. Surely some kind of experience rather than any more "stuff"

    And when you want to slow it down - FP4

    HP5 and a good lab like theDarkroom.com, Swann, or the Ilford processing.

    At 80 I'll be hoping for a blonde. I have all the cameras I need already. But happy birthday to you whatever you decide.

    I believe it was traditional, effective and affordable engineering practice of the day.

    iRS has some very useful guides regarding hobby businesses and hobby income. Worth reading.
  16. BrianS1664879711
    I prefer to keep audit risk very low and just pay the taxes associated with misc hobby income.

    State of confusion

    <p>Write off that roll of film. Remove it and re-roll it and re-load it; then run through the roll wit the intention of testing the back rather than capturing usable images. You probably misloaded but only testing will tell for sure.</p>

    interesting question. I have no idea about the answer though. I hope someone has experience and knowledge to contribute.

    That sounds similar to a Copal 3 on a lens I bought a long time ago. On mine it was some debris inside the shutter that may have dislodged in shipping and was jamming the shutter on release. Once cleared it started working normally

    <p>It has nothing to do with establishing "legality", but it is documentation that the activity is sponsored and legitimate. If nobody is concerned to know that fact it is useless. But if someone is interested for whatever reason, it makes the conversation a whole lot easier. If nothing else, there is no harm in having such documentation when photographing for a job outside of a studio or corporate property.</p>

    We haven't used that expression, coppers, since the 1940's. How quaint. �

    The interaction with the police was nonconfontational. We're still free folks. Nobody tread on the OPs right to photograph.

    The letter from the client may be the best you can do other than teaming with client to precoordinate with the local police
