<p>Thanks Lilly. Will try.</p>
-
<p>Thanks! Trampoline works -<br>
One thing:<br>
"just take the shot when she is going down" - I did it a lot.. but I need her to "Pose" - like a .. hmmm... "Sittingon the air" or some horizontal position.. Most likely model will not be able to land on her feet. Like Jump and land to the side. Anyway, whatever she does - I have to provide "Safe landing :-)<br>
I know I can do a lot with Photoshop or Green Screen. - Just thinking if it is possible to do it "In Real time"</p>

<p>Hello all.<br>
I need to make a series of photos where model have to jump from some height - like 4 - 5 or 6 feet -> pose -> and land safely with no Injurie worries ... Need to be really soft mat system. Possibly air or a lot of soft foam.<br>
Any ideas where to get this kind of "Landing System" ?<br>
Preferably it need to be easy to transport and take to the studio or location.<br>
Thank you !</p>

<p><em>"I set the camera as you recommended, shot at 1/100"</em><br>
No, no ! 1/100 is not fast enough! - try to stay faster then 1/250... like 1/500 or faster for 200 zoom.<br>
ones again, You easily can get bleary pic on 200 because of camera shake - with 200 zoom it is critical !!! Zoom 80 - 1/200 or 1/250 should be fine...</p>

<p>D700 is a good choice. I just used it for fashion show .. about 2 weeks ago.<br>

Your settings: its depend on how you are going to use photos. If small print and Web size - you can use Hi ISO - up to 1600. D700 handles it just fine......... but your monopod can help...<br /> <em>(I try to avoid monopods because I like to move around a lot when I shoot.)</em><br>
shutter speed of 1/200 or 1/250 - can be critical and not good enough for 200 zoom. You easily can get bleary pic on 200.<br>
Why Shutter Priority and Auto ISO ? ... I would recommend Aperture Priority - set it to 2.8 or so, and 1600 ISO if, as I said you don't need large prints. <br>
Can't say anything about AF. I use Spot (bottom choice) or Dynamic Area- depends on situation. But I am not an expert :-)<br>

All above is just my experience. Everybody have their favorite settings and preferences. :-)<br>
If you have more questions please e-mail me. We can talk over the phone.<br>
Good luck Alberta! Let as see your shoots.<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=3804877"></a></p>

<p>ISO1600 is good for NIKON D700 or D3.. I would not recommend it for Canon yet. It's not about Nikon vs. Canon type of talking.. :-) Just reality.</p>

<p>I think inside is easier - at least you have a stable lighting condition. Outside is crazy... especially close to sunset... lighting is changing every 10 min :-) </p>
-
<p>I used ISO 1600, aperture priority mode ( i set it to 2.8 most), The Quality is not 'The Best' (not for large format printing) but good enough for web and up to 8x10 print. white balance was 'sun" - but I fixed it later using white stage as a reference for "Grey"</p>

<p>I just did a fashion show runway.. a few days ago.. Using flash is OK but just to enhance a lighting a little bit. Try to <strong>use high ISO setting</strong> on you camera. I use Nikon D700 - and it's High ISO quality helps a lot ! (Lenses: 80-200/2.8)<br>
here are photos..<br>

<p>"Have her bring a friend. Or three.' - Matt, sometimes it makes things worse . If model shy - she will shy more :-)</p>

<p>I never had a problems to make a model comfortable and relax.<br>
I think this not about what you say, this is how you communicate with her. Make a jokes, show her how you would pose if you would be her... never say what she is doing something wrong.. opposite - say that she is just perfect and amazing .... "but... to do it even better - she need to try this or that..." in other words make photo session - FUN ...<br>
But sometimes it's just does not work. I had one photo shoot like that. Girl's mom wanted her to be a Model. so mom pushed her for the photoshoot... and...... nothing helped. from the beginning girl was very sad and offensive.. just because she didn't want to participate. :-) <br>
so, my first remark 'I never had a problem" - probably wrong ;-)<br>
-------------------<br>
all above is true for not professional models.</p>

<p>Thanks Mark. This is prety good definitions. And it't true - a lot of time the overlap.<br>
for an instanece; what is this? Portrait or Glamour... or Glamour Portrait<br>

<p>Just found some info:<br>
<strong>Fashion:</strong><br>
http://www.answers.com/topic/fashion-photography<br>
<strong>Editorial:</strong><br>
-
<p>I know it's hard... there is no clear border beetween some genres... such as Fashion, Beauty, Editorial and etc..<br>
Even well known photographers doesn't have clear separation in their portfolios/websites. Photo can be Fashion and Beauty at the same time, .... And portrait can be done with Fashion Elements.. Glamour or Fashion - hard to say sometimes...<br>
But anyway, does anybody know<strong> initial </strong> <strong>definition</strong> for Gendes like Fashion, Beauty, Editorial and Glamour.<br>
any links?<br>
--<br>
BTW, it's so sad this website has Fashion only... I think that only about 20 persent in this category is real Fashion. <br>

<b>Pro Ethics and $$ Question.</b><br>
Portraits, head shots, family and any event photos.<br><br><b>Now my
customers ask for CD with files very often.</b><br> And I always feel
like I don't really want to give my files away. Here is a couple of
reasons:<br><br><b>1. I don't like when somebody print my photographs
because I can't guaranty quality this way.</b> <br>People usably don't
know how to print it right way. <br>Bad printed photos can affect my
reputation. There is still my name as a photographer there. <br>So
this is about my responsibility and reputation.<br><br>
<b>2. Printing - is a part of my income and I simply loosing money
when I give my work on CD.</b><br><br>.... But when I think from my
customers point of view.... Looks like it is unfairly to decline this
request if they pay for shooting and editing. <br>They paid for it and
why they can't have a CD?<br>
Also I have a risk to loose some customers if I say NO.<br><br>
------<br><b>
Could you please share your experience and thoughts about this.
<br>And if you give CD to your customer - what will be a fair price?
I think this is more then just cost of CD .... </b>
soft "Landing" Mat System - if model need "to fly" and land safely - any Ideas where I can find it?
