<p>Pete S- WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br>
Awesome! :) That is fantastic! What is your e-mail?<br>
How do you do a monochrome channel mixer adjustment layer?<br>
Did you use an action to sharpen?</p>
<p>Thank you so much! That is amazing seriously</p>

<p>RE: Matthew and Daniel-<br />Ok, I'm not trying to copy off of her "style" but there is definitely something she is doing in the editing process to make her images go to the next level. If it's an editing question such as a curves adjustment, I think every photographer could benefit with that knowledge and it not affecting our style.<br>
<br />Especially in the wedding photography industry, our clients deserve to have the best images they can possibly have of their special day. And editing of images to make them extra sharp and vibrant, is what everyone can benefit from.</p>

<p>or this one</p>

<p>yes but I have TRA and Kubota and shoot with primes and it's still not looking like that.</p>

<p>Ok so obviously Jessica Claire = the cream of the crop when it comes to portrait photography. So I will ask a question that has been asked a million times on every photographer forum in existence. How does she do it!??? I have tried e-mailing her but obviously she gets a million e-mails so will probably not respond.<br>
I know other threads where JC says it's "good clean light". I know that makes a photograph, but I know lots of photographers that use similar light and the images do not look even close to hers.<br>
Is it the equipment? What equipment do you guess she uses?<br>
Is it the curves adjustment? How do you do a curves adjustment?<br>
Is she using a reflector?<br>
I watched one of her videos on her blog and noticed she does not shoot with a flash. Should I stop shooting with my flash?</p>
<p>So many questions... Thank you</p>
-
<p>I would say a video light is a must. Like a small sunpak. That way you can take photos at night easier and other fun things you can do with it.</p>
-
<p>wow ok... I just want to say that I am REALLY really impressed by her work! Can anyone guess if she spot meters?</p>
-
<p>how do you adjust the curve? Can you show us a print screen of what you mean?</p>
-
<p>ughh do not get a sony lol.<br>
If I were you, I would purchase either a used 5d or a new 5d. Then I would buy a 24-70mm, 50mm 1.4, 135mm 2.0</p>
-
<p>I think sometimes the best way to learn is to be "thrown into the fire" so to speak. But I'll admit having you photograph a wedding yourself after two weeks was pretty ridiculous. You shouldn't be nervous for the upcoming wedding. :) I'm sure you will do a great job!</p>
-
<p>I didn't know you could lose all the images from taking the cf card out while the camera was on?????</p>
-
<p>Well I am taking that money in because all I'm providing them with is the DVD of images and some editing. I charge them travel costs so I dont have to give them prints or albums.</p>

<p>So this is my first "official" year in wedding photography even though I've been assisting for a while. I put my prices considerably low at $850 for 4 hours. Most couples are choosing to add on hours for $130 per hour. So I'm making usually $1100 to $1200 for all local weddings. My question is- should I raise my prices if I'm getting a ridiculous amount of inquiries? I've recieved 17 inquiries and booked 5 weddings in two months. Is it time to start raising or should I wait til next season?</p>
-
<p>bob- what would you do if the bride didn't want pictures of her getting ready and just wanted me to go to the church 30 mins before the ceremony? How would you get all of those shots in?</p>
-
<p>100% the 5d. I used the 40d for 2 years and just got a used 5d. It's like night and day! I will never shoot with my 40d if I dont have to again!</p>
-
<p>I would go with the 85mm or 135mm 2.0</p>
-
<p>I'm breaking all the rules. I use 135mm 2.0 for ceremonies now.<br>
The 70-200 is too heavy lol</p>
-
<p>Steve- can I see your website :D</p>
-
<p>oh so it's only with Nikons? That's probably why I never heard it :)</p>
-
<p>Personally, I would rent the 85mm 1.2 or the 135mm if you can get a hold of it :)</p>
-
<p>Thank you everyone for your input! I really appreciate it! Do other photographers normally not use a flash during a photoshoot? I ALWAYS use my flash and bounce it. Is that something I should shy away from?<br>
-lol at the pole coming out of her head...<br>
-Steve C- you don't like the over-exposed background? I just like it because it looks like theimageisfound.com They use a lot of white backgrounds so the couple is more the center of attention.<br>
Ok so now for the REALLY dumb question. I thought there was only like spot-metering or partial metering, evalutative etc...<br>
So I usually leave it on spot metering to expose for the couple. So what is Matrix metering? I never even heard of it :(</p>
-
<p>I found a photographer even better than from my post last week...</p>
<p><a href="http://jasminestarblog.com">http://jasminestarblog.com</a></p>
<p>WOW!!!!!!! Is all I can say!<br>
Ok so what am I missing here? How do a lot of high-end photographers get white as a background. Are they doing spot metering? Overexposing the background? I'm curious because in this photo the sky is blue-<br>
<p>Then in this photo in the SAME location it's white and invisible-<br>
-
<p>Nish, thanks for all your advice. Question though, if the bride is Indian and the groom is caucasian, what do you recommend adjusting the exposure to? lol</p>
