<p>Well, I say, when it comes to lighting gear more is more(not less is more)<br>

in most cases anyway... so, the three units wins it for me over the other that has only two.<br>

As simple as that for me, = )</p>

<p>Ok....<br>

Lets see. <br>

The list is simple: Travel Expenses and accommodation with food covered by them.<br>

Event rate: Based on the average of skilled work rates; base your rate accordingly plus,(possibly double) per event as a fixed price.<br>

And third. And this is the most important one..... In-force it and take it. and don't be afraid.<br>

It will seem like a lot, but don't settle for less. <br>

Best of luck, and don't forget, one is worth how is carried oneself. So act the part. Walk the talk.<br>

Is easy, go for it.</p>

 

<p> Wow Mr Jackson, That was gold dust.</p>

<p>Yes. But only for the longer lenses. <br>

Shot a restaurant's menu in my early days of digital... no tripod... = O <br>

Can't tell you the devastating feeling I got a few weeks ago when I scrolled back trough that folder... At the time worked and luckily the client seemed satisfied, but did I noticed? Mate... I new the risk, but the conditions at the time(a cramped busy kitchen) made me lean towards hand held. Now, I tell you, next time? I'll be suspending the dam gear off the sealing if necessary but those results are not! to be seen from my work again.</p>

<div></div>

<p> Right on Cooper! your just about the only person to nail it. <br>

Thats it, why use expo-comp? for all auto settings; because the camera determines the setting for that frame based on the light meeter, so, the way to "help" the camera's judgement for the correct exposure is by altering it's light meter(in form of exposure compensation); or if maybe one needs reassurance(when in manual) on seeing the exposure settings dead on centre knowing that such settings are corresponding to the given compensation alteration.<br>

This is to say that if you know for sure how much a particular frame would need compensating Eg.±1/3 or ±2... then making the adjustments by using exposure compensation is always far more accurate than merely "speculating" manually alone. Not as fun though... ; )<br>

Try, try, try. Good luck!</p>

<p>True... The aperture might have been set wide open... plus hight ISO I imagine by the look... And there you have it.<br>

So! in the future for this hazy low light shots, lean onto a wall close the aperture to a 5.6 minimum and see how low can you get the ISO. Don't think the filter will really be a problem at this point. <br>

Now, that was something else... sorry. I would walk about till I find a more favourable angle.<br>

Good luck!</p>

 

<p>Sure, It took till early 2008's techs to convince me, now... that was just the beginning of the transition. Now you need time to get other things up to scratch. First, one needs to get used to their equipment. This is not just knowing the user manual well, this is to know what to do with it in a instinctive kind of way. You see, Sue, only close observation and practise and time will allow you to do this. Then you need the same ingredients for processing those files mate so... give yourself and your gear time to explore the relationship and find what works for you.(I'll make the point to keep this short)<br>

In regards to calibrating the monitors. Again the answer is Time. Time and practice.<br>

One thing I did was to check both mine and others files through the internet(all photos that I new well) in all the computers I could and try to spot the changes of tones and/sharpness, etc. This way I tuned my eyes! and mind, now when I process, my pallet works a wider spectrum to what I see at the time is done. <br>

But like any muscle, Sue, The mind, eyes and any other form of application we use for our work, need to keep fit, so often, is a good idea to scrap it all away and start again from scratch. <br>

Good luck Sue, hope I could be of some help.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Well! the answer is in the air. Still here comes mine. High resolution, wide aperture with medium high ISO and that will ask you for a relatively medium low shutter of say 30s-65s Use the noise reduction if you have it, And! very Important. Set the WB as close as you can. I find That neon-warm responds well to this kind of lighting.<br>

Ps. shoot it raw.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Dude... I mean,... What you really need is a better job by the sound of it. No offence, been there myself and still not out of it. <br>

Now to the point. With the cameras I have, both film and DSLRs I have been considering getting a D70s.<br>

You might know about it better than I but, facts come to mind when I look a the build philosophy of a camera and the d70 is definitely a benchmark of this era.</p>

<p> Good luck.</p>

<p>I havent use Canon since 1992 and that has just been circumstantial.<br>

Now... with my system sure i would consider 50mm among others(much wider) but only for the... you know, odd shots. I mean, is a family thing and its also outdoors so...<br>

My lens for such session would be 16-85. thats it. with additional lighting of course. If I can't get what's expected of that shoot with that, I would feel suicidal. <br>

Good luck!</p>

Well, being analytical here, it looks like you just need to get shooting it. It will grow in you as you go mate. Just let the force of art take you with it whilst it happens. It will happen, and I hope the guys are good too. <br>

My golden advise for any shoot that involves other people whom happen to be also artists, is simple, don't over ride it. You have got to let them find their zone as well you know. Besides,... you will need to get in your zone too and nobody is ever going to help you with that.</p>

<p>Get in there and do it like you do. Good luck.</p>

<p>Yes there is. <br>

Keep your camera shield from the wind with your body or a wall. <br>

Make sure you drop one or both of your lenses or even your camera as you do it... ; )<br>

... basically, do it as quick as you can, safely, and also as for personal experience, hold on to the last minute for changing lens. Many times I have thought I was being clever by changing lenses ahead in the past, only to find myself changing again and then again... so whenever your just walking and you think your odd to change lens soon and you wanna get ahead!? Don't! but hey thats me. Good luck!</p>

<p>My respect to all posts above.</p>

<p> Yes. Yes you do want a wider angle lens for your kit my mate, for reasons that we all whom have experienced as we begin and continue to use them. The trouble is money, but once you get it you never regret it, unless of course your a pretty dam bad shooter. </p>

<p>Good luck = )</p>

<p>The F4. is the ultimate benchmark. And it shows in both the F5 and the F6. Now the Ultimate Nikon SLR is the F6 of course... For those who have never experience it, well, just use your common sense and look at it with the eyes of evolution.<br>

I truly hope that one day(SOON!) our flagships can loose all the extra weight just like the F6 and F4 demonstrated possible whilst retaining their crown, unlike the clunky F5, and all the D's so far. Which brings me to the Ultimate DSLR, in a tangent of the subject, is of course none other than the D300. Why!? well, is build with the gathered philosophy for a pro. camera. No nonsense.<br>

Hope to see the evolved D300 body as into a full frame with the D700 view finder and improved flash lever. Now... the battery grip? and this is essential, Be rid of it! I mean, what a piece of junk! So, for that, I want to see them taking on the amazing by far ultimate battery grip design philosophy that the F4 achieved. <br>

And Presto! here we get to the almost completely off topic tangent... The ultimate yet none existing SLR/DSLR. But lets not. </p>

<p>Peace.</p>

<p>Absolutely. Charge, charge, charge. There is only bland and unlikely reasons not to. Charge because is the right thing to do, full stop.<br>

Is also a good way to start the best of friendships, if it's ever to be, it's more likely to evolve from the coldest and careless of attitudes where little interest is actually shown to each other, than from a "we are friends just because we are kind of attitude..." those never go anywhere, leave them for the needy and lonely... Your not messing around, you are a professional, let them try to reach you if they need you. And if they are that good that you might consider further shoots with them.? then, be prepared to pay for their service as well. This is a good way to show respect between the parties, and that is the single foundation for both business and friendship.<br>

Trade your skills...? sure. But always establish the right grounds of professionalism before this even reach's the table. Be cold, not cocky!Cold. this means to speak up loud and clear(respectfully and reasonably) what do you want to achieve? what do they want to achieve? and so on. be clear. Not meticulous, just clear. Ask questions openly and name the price as if you have done it before and have never got rejected. You see what I'm saying. <br>

Get in there and make it happened. If you can do that, whether further business or partnership follows after will have little to do with you personally. So treat it as your one and only chance to get something done with it in real time. In the end at least you have that if nothing further.<br>

Most people have their mind made up about most business before the negotiation begins. Most job interviews are a mere exercise and a formality, that is why seemingly unexplainable results so often derive from them, this is because the person has little more than minor influence in the final decision. And so that is why the golden advise comes up over and over, Be yourself and be calm. That way if there is no desired outcome of a situation at least one still has oneself, and clear conscience that failure on your part was not the case(acting like something else to make people like you or "buy you" is always failure even after achieving what is desired) but other factors that contributed their decision. <br>

Hope you get my drift here. Good luck = )</p>

<p>Thank you for what you left David for us fortunates to see. = )<br>

May his Soul Rest in Peace. </p>

<p>1600 to 2000 Pounds depending on how long these "all day" actually are. 350-500 Pounds for half a day so do your math. </p>

<p>Everyone is right on this forum. Having said that. The d90 is an amateur camera, not sealed properly for gigs like your describing, in my opinion. The d300 is not a pro camera... but it is. All aspects of the d300 are the business, all of which, one can experience every time you shoot with it. Now... I see no reason to pay for it brand new. you see, it is such a robust and durable camera that you can trust the well being of a good condition second hand. so that might be something to consider. In other with lenses, well, how many times you want to be changing lenses in a smoky humid gig??? thats right. NONE. so, find your length and make the best of it. forget dx lenses mate, is not the way to go. 1700£ right? this is what i would do. Find a trust wordy dealer and get a D300 for maybe 700. leaves you 1000 leverage to get the one lens mate. 12-24 2.8? 24 1.8 sigma? ...<br>

Good luck to you mate. </p>

<p>OMFG!!!!!!! so sorry mate = ( disaster, a genuine disaster.</p>

<p>... Well with all my years in engineering behind me I would actually adventure into something very basic and domestic, but it will need to be precise.<br>

Here goes... a drop of glue. right onto the centre of the leaver's base, then place it. But the amount has to be right. I cannot stress this enough. If the glue overlaps the surface area then it will seal the whole thing tight. It is better to try under-gluing it and get the feel of it in two or three attempts, than sealing it off for ever. ; ) get my point? <br>

Another (more technical) way is using a partially screwed in screw on the part to use as turning leverage. Evaluation of the physicality of the part is crucial for this; thickness, depth and width... so, watch out. Ill try to get a parts diagram of it and see if I can come up with anything better, but in the mean time, let me know how does this facia shown in your photo look to you??? in your own words, is it solid plastic, has it metal inside that turns with it, or might not turn with it, ... Good luck.</p>

<p>I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long... and thank you for taking interest. <br>

Continue with your doing. You are in the right track. <br>

...Oh dear, I know what you mean... It's hard to cut trough the boundaries that separate's from the pros...<br>

One thing is to keep calm as we are active. Letting the world know your exist is a slow process even with today's facilities because we still(luckily) rely in others to talk about us and spread the word. So be patient and keep moving.<br>

Go to your local council find out who would allow you to come to events with the porpoise of shooting, tell your local newspaper about NG publication of your photo... <br>

Continue and hope to improve your relationship with NG, see if you can get a name. Is always far more effective having someone one can call and talk personally. Even... anybody. <br>

Get better at your shooting(one can always improve if just confidence). One thing that I do frequently is get out and shoot with no play back imaging at all, when I get back I suffer or enjoy the results as it may be and study, mostly what i did right. Knowing what and how to deal with it(For real) helps my confidence for the real thing.<br>

Then what?... I know... then what...? its hard it has been and it will continue to be. But another thing do not try to hard ok? this like many other things in life are very karmic things by nature(if you may) you need to let the world get used to the idea of you. You need to be relaxed, and let yourself be part of it as for it being part of you. That only comes by attending oneself assiduously to it. but remain calm, relaxed... So much to it is in the way we cary our-self's about it. <br>

Do not rely on support from anyone but be open to receive it if is there. Do not expect to become anything, be it.<br>

Act professional, talk professional and so on... just be it. What you are. And excellent one I can tell you.<br>

Very spiritual I know but that is the way of all things. The practicality of it is just the logistics and those are also necessary so pay attention to those too. <br>

I'm very exited to see the making of "what next" with you, whatever the outcome, ether or. So please keep in touch.</p>

<p>Well... the difficulty here is that your comparison's list is pole to pole my friend.<br>

That aside, go for the G11. Brilliant point and shoot, descent resolution, digital zooming and great auto setting facilities as well as auto focus.<br>

So if you wanna go about doing your own thing and be ready any time to snap out a great photo at any moment, then that is your best option.<br>

If you in the other hand don't mind stopping, thinking, adjusting then doing, then hey your not using the best option with the M9 ether mate... no Im kidding I just had to tease the obvious. Get a wide angle and a 50 or more, don't worry about the aperture, (one would be using f3.5 plus most of the time), snow is bright, and with Leica's manual focusing one would need all help available in focusing, for that smaller ap. are best.<br>

Here is a thing... having both Lumix and M9 on the equation suggest both budget and size or one of the two...<br>

Well. Why not consider another set up. All other digital slrs offer compact models(in its kind) that are quick shooting and much more.<br>

So my sincere opinion would suggest to review(yet again)your list based upon the compromises anyone(each to its own) would have submit to for shooting. And don't forget to consider the expectations you may have for the desire results.<br>

Good luck, and please let us know how you get on.</p>

<div></div>

<p> By observing and emulating what they offer. If just as exercise, this is always beneficial, it expand our boundaries of capture and editing. Look look look, then copy that. Again this is an exercise, something that may not define nor change your stile but will certainly help you to see your own work from their perspective. Good luck!</p>
