    Lightroom 3.2 & Facebook

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    <p>Does anyone know how to publish to multiple Facebook pages with LR 3.2? I can get it to publish to my primary FB account but that is my personal one. I also have a page for my business that I want to publish photos to but I can't get LR 3.2 to recognize it since my personal page is the Admin for my business page. I have tried the change account in the LR publishing section but again since my personal page is the admin it goes straight to it. <br>

    Thanks for any help.</p>

    Toughest Gig EVER: Need some guidance

    in Wedding & Event

    Posted

    <p>We always tell our B&G a time earlier than we want since they are always late. Also explain to them up front what it takes to get the photos they want, they'll understand.<br>

    Being more assertaive comes with practice in dealing with people, my partner and I had the same problem when we started and as we got more confidence that problem went away. Just don't go the other way nobody likes to be treated like a child.<br>

    Have you ever thought about a partner? My partner and I are equal in our business and our styles work well together. Yes it means less money for us individually but we can cover more ground or help each other out. Our clients like the end product. One of us will be moving people around while the other is shooting or we work different angles, different groups etc. I think it works better than an assistant since we both have an equal stake in our business.</p>

    Keeping your ideas & photos fresh

    in Wedding & Event

    Posted

    <p>Not really what I was looking for. I would hope most wedding photographers ask what type of photos their clients want in the first meeting. Keeping your finger on the shutter really doesn't work when you are shooting formal poses. These aren't professional models and helping them to pose can create a very natural looking photo if your observant. I look at any photos I can to get new ideas and to make the product I deliver better.<br>

    I was just looking for ideas in how others keep up with the trends in posing. It's always good to get another perspective.</p>

    <p>How does anyone handle the copyright issues of using music in the background on your website? I know we all protect our copyrights so I would hate to tromp on someone else's copyright by using music on my website.<br>

    Thanks for any input!</p>

    su-800

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <p>I'm using it on a D300.<br>

    I'm leaning towards the SB-800 do it's ability to to cycle faster than the SB-600.<br>

    One of my primary reasons for getting a SU-800 is not having that preflash go off in front of your subject. Most of my portrait subjects it doesn't bother but I've found that some have a very fast blink reflex, my kids in particlular, and they always have their eyes closed in the photo. Not so good to have every photo with their eyes closed when they are paying you.</p>

    su-800

    <p>I'm looking at buying an SU-800 to use as my commander for my creative light system. <br>

    I currently have an SB-600 and I'm looking to add a couple of more flashes to my system. I'm not sure if I should throw down the money and buy a SB-900 or get more flashes for the money with buying SB-800's or 600's<br>

    So I guess my question is there any advantage to the higher end flashes when using the su-800 as your commander?<br>

    Also I've been happy with my SB-600 except I think it has a tendency over filled a scene when used in commander mode off camera. I'm hoping the SU-800 will solve this.</p>

    Digital Backdrops & Croma screens

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    <p>I have started to use digital backdrops for portraits and I'm looking for some ideas/advise.  I've considered buying a croma screen backdrop for the simple reason of editing.  That green color would be easy to do a selective color selection in CS3 to extract only that. <br>

    Is there any advantage to using a true croma screen vs. just a green color?  My thought is that I want the background to be a color like that bright green that you know your subject isn't going to wear so it makes the color selection much easier.<br>

    Thanks</p>

    Custom Picture Control

    in Nikon

    Posted

    Help!

    I have tried everything I can think of to load a Velvia custom picture control on my D300 and every time I get a

    message that says no custom picture controls on card. I have put the .ncp files in a Nikon folder and have tried

    them on their own in the root menu. I've tried load them on the card from my computer then putting the card in my

    camera, I've tried plugging my camera straight into the computer.

    I'm not sure what else to try

    This is the sight I got the files from.

    R800 ink

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    I use a Epson R800 for small jobs for customers and for personal printing. The problem is I don't want to use ink for

    my business for my personal use. I like to keep the money separate. I've thought about 2 sets of cartidges but I'm

    worried about one set drying out. So I have a couple of questions.

     

    1. How long can a catridge sit out of the printer before it won't work?

     

    2. Does anyone know a quick and easy way to figure approx how many photos per catridge to expect? (to figure an

    accurate price/print)

     

    3. What is a good source bulk bottles of ink?

     

    I know Outdoor Photogrpher magazine did an article a couple of years ago on this subject but I've been unable to find

    it.

     

    Thanks

    Using material for advertiseing

    in Business of Photography

    Posted

    A photo book that our wedding business produced is now being used to show

    potential clients about a wedding facilities. The problem is this book was

    produced for the brides mother of one of our first weddings who also happens to

    run the wedding facility. We had also done this particular wedding as a favor and

    not charged our full amount. Now we find out that our book is being used for

    advertisement and it hasn't produced any bussiness for us. We found out it was

    being used through a potential client that is getting married at this facility and was

    refered to us by a flowerist not the facility.

     

    How should we handle this? We thought about asking to put one of our labels

    with copyright notice and our e-mail in the back of the book, which we do to all our

    products now but didn't then, and giving her bussiness cards to give to clients.
