Sort of like shooting into the sun... Expose for the tux, and fill-flash has face.

 

If you're outside in the bright sun you would do the same.

 

If she's wearing white also, you have a similar situation

Simple answer..there are no out takes, all of them were keepers.

If you're using version 4.06, that is the latest version.

 

I noticed when updating from 3.x to 4.x, it leaves the older version in tact so you can use both. A nice little feature since some page layouts have not carried thru to the newer version.

 

Paula, if you want to email me directly, maybe we can figure it out.

I used this for my Canon flashes.. really well built, solid feel and lasted all day long!

Stacy what is your computers Processor (if it's less than 2ghz on a P4, or slower), that could be your problem.

 

I have a P4 3.06ghz w/1gb or RAM and it was quick in Library mode, but sluggish (no where near 10 min) in Develop mode. Each image would take about 8secs before the Loading indicator stopped and slider response was sluggish.

 

I just got a new 2.4gz Quad-Core w/4gb Ram and develop mode is instant on sliders and about 1-2 seconds for Loading to stop.

 

This is on both 1.3 and Beta2

Graphi is in Florence, Italy, but that makes no difference, I'm in NY (Albany)and use Graphi all the time.

 

Laurita, if you drop me an email, maybe I can help you with what you're looking for.

I have one booked for 2010 already and believe it or not, an inquiry for 2011.

You can download a file that shows the layout designs from his site.

It's a large file though.

Yervants PageGallery, YSI, LumaPix, or PSCS2 or 3

I think my point was lost. I wasn't looking for what is the ideal system for me or suggestions, I was just curious as to what everyone would get if they could get, right now in time, their perfect system.

 

Knowing that it would be exinct in quick time due to advances, it was just a general question.

I don't know if this is the appropriate area for this, but I know people ask

this once in a while.. What if I had $xxx to spend, what to buy? To me, it

always seems there was never enough money involved to buy your "Dream Setup".

So, my question is multipart and assumes that you are BUYING ALL NEW EQUIPMENT

and not just adding to what you have. This is from the ground up, you

currently have no equipment, what will you buy?

 

So the questions are:

 

1) How much money would you need to set up your dream system.

 

2) What does your dream system consist of?

 

3) What is the reasoning behind your dream?

 

 

Mine seems to change constantly but roughly consists of:

 

2 Canon 1DsMIII with 3 sets of extra batteries each ($17k)

 

3 Canon 1DMIII with 3 sets of extra batteris for each ($15k)

 

5 Metz 76 flash units with 2 batteries/flash unit (10 total) ($10k)

 

5 Photogenic 1250DR flash units ($2.5k)

 

5 Umbrellas ($1k)

 

5 Rectangular soft boxes ($1.5k)

 

10 PWizards ($1.7k)

 

1 Kick A$$ Computer ($8k)

 

2 30" monitors ($5k)

 

 

The pricing is approximate, and I know there's more.. but can' think of any at

the moment.

 

Looking forward to the responses.

If you can't figure out the lens, or able to get one.. Shoot with what you've got, then restage teh important parts. With Photo, unlike video, restaging works well.

What Business ID are you referring to? Tax info? It's your SS# if you're a sole-proprietor/DBA.

 

If you have your website with your images on there you should be ok to go.

Fill Flash if shooting into the sunset.

 

Expose for the sky, then fill accordingly.

I'm not sure if you can use this or not, but there is a site, www.wallhogs.com , that you can make really large prints, but they are usually intended to be 'stuck', to a wall. I'm sure you could figure some way to cut out backing material and use the print.

 

Just a thought.

Camera in Manual mode, flash in Manual Mode

rentglass.com Great prices

I'll try to email you the instructions, but there is a way to create an action that will place a brush XX pixels from the bottom and xx pixels from the right edge. Once you get it down, the sig's all appear in the same location of each pic.

By let them pic what they want, I meant, they can order directly online what they want and its shipped directly to them.. no hassle on your part.

I hope that's not your final product.. that's a ton of speckles. Looks like you scanned a picture that was textured, or realy dirty.

 

Take ALL the photos you want, tell guests to make a note of the time, have a BIG clock and paper/pencil with YOUR site info on it, so they know when you took the pictures, make sure you sync your camera clock properly first, then post your pics, filenames are the times the pic was taken.. aka 2008-0229-203255 (pic taken Feb 29, 2008 at 8:32:55PM)

 

Then post the pics on someplace like SmugMug, sort in filename order (which shoudl be date/time order) and let them pic what they want. Just make sure only GOOD pics are seen.

16-35 2.8 would be nice for full length

 

a 50mm 1.8 or faster would be really nice on a crop (about 85mm non-crop) and not that expensive.

Lauren, if you leg 'locks' try getting a brace that prevents you from fully extending the leg. It may help and give you a little more support.

 

Not the rubber/flex brace, but one of aluminum, like a derotation brace of sorts.

 

Good luck!

Well, if it's any consolation, I've had 5 knee operations on the left knee, originally from Torn Cart. and back in '76, the thing to do was remove it, instead of just trimming it. So for 30+ yrs, it's been bone-on-bone and either I have a high tolerance for pain, it does bother me on somedays more than others, or maybe I've just become so used to it it I don't notice it as much.

 

There are are days, in certain weather, that doing stairs can be a real Pain in the Knees. Yes, Knees, the right leg has had 1 operation to repair an 80% in my ACL.

 

My left knee will eventually need a major re-do due to the bone on bone and years of wear, the shin bone head is messed up.

 

Does it bother me, sure, but I still did 27 weddings last year.

 

DO the Phys. Therapy.. if you don't, you'll pay for it later. No matter how crappy it feels, keep pushing it. TRUST ME.

 

If you can tolerate the pain, or motion issues, go for it, I find wedding photography very rewarding as a job.

 

Good luck!

I used to use Canon's flash, but switched and love the Metz 60CT series. But I use it all on manual.

it usually comes from the remote area called: Tumuch Bear

People that live there have been doing very weird/odd things for years. I used to live there for a few years myself, but since movved.
