<p>The purpose of having multiple photographers was to cover the expense for the studio and model(s), maybe make money at it too.<br>

I've heard of such shoots happening, just didn't know exactly how to work one out.<br>

Thanks.</p>

<p>Hello, I plan to organize a photo shoot with multiple photographers and possibly multiple models. I have never done this before, and will really appreciate any advice and tips from the more experienced photographers here.<br>

My first question: how will 5+ photographers shoot one or two models? I plan to rent a photo studio with strobes, etc. for perfect lighting; how will the lights sync with more than one camera? Is it possible to do this, have several photographers shooting the same model(s)? How will the logistics of lighting work in this case?<br>

To cover expenses for the model and renting a studio, I need to charge the photographers for this shoot, and they keep the image rights, and the model will sign model releases. Is this a viable business strategy? I heard from news media of such shoots being organized and I got the idea there.<br>

Thanks for the answers! Rob</p>

<p>I am in the market for a compact case that fits a D90 + attached zoom lens, preferable from the Lowepro line, with an all-weather cover and compartments for a spare battery / memory cards.<br>

I use a Nova 5 AW for my photo gear, though I find it a very feature-packed bag, I am recently finding it a bit bulky for carrying long distances.<br>

Any recommended bag makes / models? Thanks a lot for your suggestions.</p>

<p>I am guessing you accidentally hit the Live button as you put your camera into the bag.</p>

<p>This could be the cause, but the D80 does not have the Live View feature, and still had this overheating issue / battery drain issue happen once.</p>

<p>I reached for my D90 finding its battery almost drained, and the camera body warm to the touch. Here's what happened:<br>

Out shooting tonight, I tucked my almost brand-new D90 away into my Lowepro bag along with its attached Nikon 18-200 3.5-5.6 , and the D90 was left ON as I usually do. <br>

However, more bumpy terrain was encountered tonight, and the attached 18-200 lens "crept" (extended), by 1-1/2 inches, as I keep the camera pointed down in the bag.<br>

The VR function was also left ON.<br>

I've left the D90 and lens in the bag for about 1 1/2 hours.<br>

I can only guess as to why the battery was drained and extra heat produced; the VR might have been attempting to compensate for movement, and the camera battery supplied the juice, and extra heat was produced by the VR chip circuits in lens, and some in-camera circuits also. These factors coupled caused the extra juice draining and heat production.<br>

Does anyone know if this could damage the camera or lens? Or God-forbid, I start getting bright pixels on the sensor. Has this also happened to anyone else in similar circumstances?<br>

This has happened once with my older D80, though I've since sold it.<br>

Thanks a lot for your thoughts / advice!<br>
