<p>Hi All!</p><p><br></p><p>I have bride, who is getting married in June of 2011. She would like to do some fun things with her engagement photos as favors for the reception, but the only ideas her and I have come up with are scrolls, little frames, and coasters, and cd slideshows.<br></p><p>I am just wondering if any of the photo.net members have seen or done anything creative with their images for wedding favors.<br></p>

<p>I couldn't find anything on dick blick other than the big artist presentation/carrying bags/boxes. i also checked out marathon press - but they didn't seem to have anything bigger than 5x7 in just a plain color.<br>

Thanks for the help though!!</p>

<p>I found some sort of version of them at Rice Studio Supply, and they called them "portrait cases" but I was going to shop around a little, to see what other styles there are and customizations. And, I screwed up, the folder wasn't from whcc...it was from mpixpro.</p>

<p>If this isn't in the right category, I apologize, I wasn't sure of where to put it.<br>

Does anyone know where to get folders like the ones from WHCC at? It's basically a flat, thick, nice looking paper, and it folds over on each side, to protect the print and enclose it. I got it when I got the profile check prints shipped to me.<br>

I have been searching everywhere and I have not a clue where to find something like that.<br>

Thanks!</p>

I have read my manual. I have done a Google search. I have searched these forms, I cannot find the battery that I

need. In these forums, someone suggest a couple types of batteries, but I have no clue which ones I should buy.

 

I received my Mamiya 645 pro today from KEH, but they didnt provide a manual so I went online and looked at one.

Any assistance would be awesome, I need to go shoot tomorrow morning for my classes.

 

 

Thanks in advance!!!

first off, buy yourself some 9x12 white boards. have the kids write their names on them and take a picture of them holding it. it helps when you go through your files later to fulfill orders so that you know who is who.

 

second - why don't you let the kids choose what they would like to do? Give them the option of the two poses, or bat or glove. I have just done that with the baseball team i shot last night, and it worked out great. Gives them a little control, but needless you say you have the tools to make it look professional. As for the swim team, how about sitting on the edge of the pool with their feet hanging in? just an Idea.

Im sorry, when I said lightroom i ment LightRoom2. Its for more of an HTML set up with galleries

 

The link for lightroom2 is http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/#example

 

It's a neat little do-hicky, if you can figure out how to put the code in.

Yes im doing different galleries on different pages. And I already have a different folder for each gallery. I'm doing everything manually ( I tried porta but that failed me miserably and had much more success doing it manually). I do everything in DreamWeaver.

 

I am going to look over that first website now. Thank you very much!

i have been looking at lightbox as well. how is the ease of use with this program?

After doing countless searches I am still coming up empty handed.

 

To make the story short. I have downloaded simple viewer a while ago. I

successfully figured out how to make it work, except for now, I can't figure out

why I cannot make another gallery of images with a different theme (IE Senior

Portraits). I have researched J-Albums, and coffee albums, but I would prefer

using my site as the gallery host. I have also looked into a few others, but I

have come up short-handed. Needless to say, nothing seems to be right for what I

am looking for. I would prefer a flash based gallery.

 

If anyone has any suggestions of viewers to look at that would be great. Or if

anyone knows simpleviewer well enough so that I can run more than 1 gallery at a

time on my site (or integrate it with 1 gallery with multiple albums).

 

Thanks so much.

Hey all,

 

We photograph youth sports (lacrosse, baseball, soccer, cheer leading, the whole

9 yards). We are coming up on a crazy season, being that we have just been

contracted by a league. Not to worry, all the children have signed model

releases as well, we got everything covered.

 

With out having people put their hands all over my lap top or my partners, are

there any programs I can use to show images to defer the cost of printing? We do

put the orders online but parents say that they do not have internet. Being

that, we don't get many orders from online. We have been printing small index

prints on paper with image numbers and that would work fine, except parents

cannot see the children's faces because they are so small. We are trying to work

out a solution, so if anyone has any suggestions, my ears are open.

 

Thanks

I currently attend PA College of Art and Design as a Photo major. One of my professors is adjunct and also teaches at Temple. Compared to temple, he has told us we got it good. We do not have to pay for inks in the large format printers, and have some nice computers. Our building is big, but its a small school, so we get the individual attention our craft needs. If you want more information, you can email me at Jenn@JRpassions.com

wouldn't you want to also take into consideration as to what size you plan on printing your film at? If your doing an 8x10, then a 400 speed would b great, But at sizes upwards of 20x24, wouldn't you prefer the finer grain of a panf 50 for example?

If you go to staples or office maxx they have blank sticker sheets. Just print them out yourself. Then you can print extra when you need extra and it will probably less expensive then taking it out somewhere

The rule I have always been taught is your shutter speed should be no lower than 1 over your focal length. The only way for you to be shooing at 1/30 would to be using a 30mm focal length distance for you to freeze motion. It all depends...if your using 105mm for your focal length, then your shutterspeed needs to be at least 1/105 for you to freeze motion.

no need for kissing any a--.

 

We make the client at least pay the base package price (1000 for example) that includes shoot time and proofs.. After the fact, they may decide they want more that a higher package has. Then they pay that difference.

 

Therefore, They pay that base price IN FULL of 1000 2 weeks before the wedding - after the proofs are delievered, if they say oh i really like this in a 8x10 and a parent album and oh what about wallets and whatnot, things that are in a package higher up (say 2 grand) they owe us 1000 to cover the additional prints (which is cheaper in the package situation than the a la carte).

 

Just trying to think about ways to not wait 6 or more months with no contact or order placement. If you have another suggestion I'm here to learn!

Hey all,

After figuring out the doom of last year's procrastinating clients, I think its

time to make a change to get orders in and done as quickly as possible. More of

an incentive for the client if you will.

 

I did not recieve one order from a client for 6 months, after providing the

client the images 2 weeks after the wedding, and could not reach them for the

life of me. Another client, (this was a senior shoot we did), I spoke to on a

monthly basis, but still waited about 5 months to place an order.

 

To combat this, I am thinking about putting somewhere in the contract that the

client has X amount of time after receiving the proofs to choose what they want

for the discounted package prices. If time goes on and that said time passes,

Package prices do not apply, and everything, even the time, will be billed

separately as per the a la carte list.

 

Does any one else do anything like this? Your Thoughts?
