Re: Shooting Hockey
It really depends on the lighting in the arena. I shoot for an AHL team (one step below NHL) The Rockford IceHogs (Chicago Blackhawks affiliate), and we have the worst lighting of all AHL arenas (or so I have been told by the visiting team photogs). With my 7D/70-200 2.8IS combo I'm shooting at roughly 2000-2500 ISO, 1/500… -
Re: Local Rec Sports Photographers
Have a card printed with your website, gallery info and password that can be passed out with the ticket stubs to people entering the game. If your proceeds support the boosters or school or team, make sure that info is also on the card. If the school will allow a small banner, have it placed on the ticket booth or… -

Re: what is "fast" when working with large files?
If you go with Win 7 make sure that the processor will handle the XP mode and virtual PC.....unless you can afford to purchase everything that will not upgrade to Win7..............I am fighting a computer company right now that sold me a line of bull and the computer I have will not run any of my older software or any of… -
Re: How to tell if you are a photography addict:
Got some, You cringe when you see someone trying to take a portriat of a friend against a sunset, with a P&S and without a fill light. You chuckle to yourself when you hear them get upset with the camera for not resolving the people. You actually step in and give them a 5-min lecture on lighting. Your SO pickes on your… -
Re: Listing Prices on Your Website
Personally, I do list all my package prices on my website. I look at it from the client's point of view - yes, I want to get the best photographer - but he/she must be in my price range. It doesn't matter how great he/she is in person if the package I want is two thousand dollars more than I can afford. Also, I definitely… -
Re: Looking for Category and Subcategory feature input
more levels of categories Hey there, for me it is getting kinda crucial to have more than 1 level of sub-category e.g.--> home --> Travel --> Americas --> 2008 --> SoCal Trip --> Day 1 - LA --> Day 2 - SF --> Day 3 - XX --> Work trip to Irvine --> Europe --> 2008 --> Summer hols in .... --> Xmas in Ruka --> Week in… -
Don't Forget to DUCK -part 1
Hi Everyone, I haven't posted for a while. I took some time off for Thanksgiving with family back east (sans camera) as well as the Mark III fix, some holiday chores, etc. I have a small backup of photos to process so I thought I would start putting some up for comment. I have accumulated a lot of nice shots of various… -
What are your packages?
I'm thinking about creating some wedding packages versus just charging a certain amount for so many hours and offering additional hours at a per hour rate. I'm thinking of doing a half day price and a full day price. My question to you guys is this. Do you offer a DVD of all the photos for an additional price on top of… -
Re: 17-85mm IS USM vs 18-55mm IS vs other wide-angle option
If you really do want a wide angle lens, I think you will find that the 18-55 is just not wide enough. I recently picked up a Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 and I love it. I picked mine up for $407 before tax from Canoga Camera (www.canogacamera.com), a very reputable camera shop. I remember the Canon mount being a bit more for some…
