  2. I''m sorry you feel i feel like an ingrate, i'm actually not, i am studying but i was getting ready to do this photo and just wanted to know if it was okay to use these two umbrellas together. i notice on this site people get very annoy when others ask questions, and i thought this site was for help. I am in NYIP and have learned a lot, it's just that i didn't have time to go and get a book the day of the shoot and read it that quick.. i thought i can ask a simple question and someone just say no don't use the two umbrellas or whatever. so sorry for bothering all you pro's who were where some of us is at.
  3. i'm getting ready to do my second maternity pictures, this time it's with the

    wife/husband together. i've been using in the past one umbrella/ with a flash

    mounted on my camera. I want to try to use the two umbrella now, however afraid

    to right now. my question is the two umbrella's i have are both white, one a

    45' impact umbrella they other is a 32" impact, however the 32" has a more

    shinning look would this be a problem for me? Also if I use both should i use

    the flash also or just stick with the one umbrella/ and mounted flash? but

    eventually i want to start using the two umbrella

  4. Hi everyone,

     

    Can someone tell me what is a good website that you can post clients picture on

    for them to view, with a password ? I want to be able to set-up online where

    when i do individual pictures they can go online to view them. Thanks for your

    help!

  5. Hi Brandy,

     

    I also am working with film,I brought the Canon SLR film while taking classes in NYIP, i prefered to learn how to take photos without looking at them first, but waiting until i get them develop, to me it helps me master my craft, to a certain degree i think digital is like cheating if your just starting off. Don't get me wrong i'm now working with digital a little, but i'm still doing film. It's trial and error just as it would be if you used digital, If your willing to be good at what you do, a pack of fugi films that come 4 in a pack of 36 rolls for about 10.00 is worth it, and go to a commercial lab that charge about 6.00 for basic developing (target/walmart) it's worth it. My advise just take lots of pictures, in different settings, whether it be manual, automatic, set your shutter speed, set your aperture to different setting and just remember what you did for each picture. Good luck. I know it's hard because everyone is into digital now, and not too many people want to talk about film. Also P&S is good to have I love it now!!!

  6. Thanks to you all for your advice and comments,I have not yet said I would do this play, because of my doubts, just that i never did photos like this, as for others like portraits i'm more comfortable with, and because it's money involved i'm not crazy to commit myself and fail and disappoint my client. I did thought about doing shots at the rehersal rather then the actual live play.
  7. I was just asked recently to shoot for a play on 10/6 at a school,just to take

    shots of diffent scenes for advertisement. My question is what do you think

    about doing that with film? I would be using maybe 3 rolls of 36, but my

    concern i think is the lighting in the auditorium, have anyone ever shot

    whether it was a concert or just anything that was on stage and spot lights

    with film, just want to know how would the pictures come out,or what can I do

    to prevent bad shots, also i'm thinking the flash may be distracting to the

    actors. The writer is willing to pay me 150.00 hr, but i don't want to take the

    job with film and the pictures don't come out good to me because of lighting.

    Thanks for any help or advise, sorry but no smart comments just honest sincere

    help... I am getting ready to go into digital but still searching for a camera.

  8. Sorry if it sound confusing, but you answered my question that yes the 70-300mm will mount to Canon EOS, as long as it is compatible to that type of camera. I also see lenses by Sigma and Tamron that are compatitble to Canon EOS,
  9. Tana I didn't use a pop up flash.. it was an external flash i just didn't bounce it.. and the spot was real small or i would of used natural light or just the umbrella but there was no window on the sides to go by, so i worked with what i could. Corrie thanks for your

    help and idea
