<p>Starting vlogging. finding it fun and a break from the typical photography ritual. Posted 2 vids on youtube and more to come. Please feel free to check them out here..<br>

 

<p>My 5dsr is not better or worse than other 5d. I regularly pedpad clean it just like all my other 5d series bodies. since the image is larger you'll notice more than you would on a 20mp photo. practice your corner cleaning techniques. should be done like professional window cleaners get the corners of windows which could be found on youtube. </p>

Yes profoto is a speedlite and does everything your speedlite does. It does ettl and high speed sync but with the power of

6 speedlites.

<p>I love the profoto b1. I've used alienbees lights and batteries for over 10 years before profoto. No more wires, clamping batteries, adjusting power. just turn on with ettl and your ready to shoot and the hss works flawlessly. like the power of 6 600rt ex canon speedlites in one.</p>

Thanks all for the responses. What I've decided to do is not make this a requirement for all clients but rather if I see a

property which photos will sell well, I'll ask the realtor to ask the owner to complete the release and I might even offer a

discount on the photoshoot to entice the realtor.

<p>Great explination. I'm starting to get a better feel for this subject.</p>

<p>in order to commercially license images on istock/getty a property release is needed. As of about 2010 all interior photography to be sold on stock sites needs to be released. prior to that, myself included we were submitting interior images and they have been selling regularly but to get new stuff in it has to be released.</p>

<p>Hi Group, <br>

So I'm starting to require all realtors and property managers I shoot for to complete a property release for each property I photograph. I have a realtor which is hesitant to compelte stating that he thinks he does not have the authority to sign the release on behalf of the owner but the release allows for a "representative of owner" to complete. What should I say or do?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

 

<p>could have been the location. Today I shot another property same setup and had 50-100 foot snaps outdoors even behind some walls.<br>

Thanks all :)</p>

<p>Hi All, <br>

So I recently bought pocketwizards plusx and tt5's for canon. <br>

Today I was shooting outdoors triggering the camera with a camranger, camera with the plusx and speedlite with a tt5. I cant seem to get flash transmission over 15 feet outdoors. the pw's are supposed to work hundreds of feet away. I also tried using two tt5's and still same poor results. what could I be doing wrong?</p>

<p>Thanks guys so I basically did it backwards. thanks</p>

<p>So I thought this was easy but apparently I got it wrong so I need help.<br>

I have an 82mm tiffen nd filter which I use on my canon 24mm tse. I wanted to use the filter on my 70-200 which requires a 77mm filter so I bought a step down filter thinking it would make it fit but FAIL. the adaptor ring does on fine to the filter but is to big to thread into the 70-200. What should have I gotten?</p>

<p>Thanks<br>

<p>Matt, great words of wisdom for scenario 1. for scenario 2 I do not list rates online but rather a la carte per the job. I used to advertise this intro package for real estate and I've continued offering the same rate to this group of about 10 clients for about 2 years while new clients are being billed at current higher rates. I'd like to wein the intro clients off the intro rates. I'm thinking perhaps next time they call to book another job I'll mention that there will be a rate increase on date X and I will continue offering the intro rate through till that date. </p>

<p>I have 2 scenarios...<br>

I have a client which recently hired me to photograph his products at his location. After 2 sessions I've determined the amount of work I'm performing exceeds the amount of pay agreed upon. The client emails me again wanting more photography...Whats a good way to express that in order to continue photography services, the compensation needs to be adjusted?<br>

Also aside from that how would you contact an entire list of clients to notify them that photography rates are going up?</p>

<p>Thanks all. <br>

<p>Just had my first shoot with my new 70-200 and it works great. Noticablly superior that the fitst version. <br>

Made a video clip with the setup. </p>

<p>

<p>enjoy. </p>

<p>it's a 5dII with the third I added in photoshop. the 5dIII will have distiguishable differences from the mark II. </p>

<p>1st or 2nd curtain wont matter. +1 for the problem being the pre-flash. use the flash in manual mode or use a cheap manual flash, best would be using wireless transmitters like on alienbees.com website or similar. </p>

<p>check saturation and white balance, they might be way to high causing this. I like the shot, gives me sort of an eerie feeling. add detailed shot info on smugmug. your exposing for the building so the lights are blown out, plus if there is fog it will absorb light and cause the halos.it would look great if you bracket it and use hdrsoft</p>

<p> </p>

<p>whats this about 5d3?I have 2 of the 2's and I'm happy. I'm seeing rumors about the 3 but is it certain? do you have a good link I could read.</p>

<p>I favor my 85 1.2 L as prime. </p>

<p>I have another 5d2 for backup. No worrying about conversion factors. everything is full frame. </p>

<p>Loving this lens. It's actually faster than I expected. Focusing speed close to the 100mm macro imho. <br>

Here are some shots I took at a local car show in Fort Lauderdale, FL...</p>

<p>shallow focus depth almost makes the cars look like little toys. </p>

 

<p>I love that scenario. shoot documentary style, make sure to not only capture the guests but the other photographers as well. Most of the photographers will be fighting to get the main shots, but if you ad a twist and include shots of the couple getting their photos taken you'll come out the winner. <br>

I did this at at numerous events where I show up and see that there are other pros shooting. I'll make sure to capture the pros in action and they will usually contact me for copies of the photos as well as the event/client. </p>
