Re: Studio lighting - where to start
Many people recommend against getting flash meters these days, but I personally found that I learned a great deal about lighting and lighting ratios after picking up a good quality Sekonic and carrying it around with me for a week or so. As to what equiptment to buy, it really depends on what kind of shooting you intend to… -
Re: Promo shots... for me (C&C)
Absolutely NO offense taken Angie and, in fact, I'm extremely grateful and flattered you would take the time to give that kind of detailed critique! I'll answer your points below, but rest assured that I appreciate every word. Truly! Actually, the makeup was fairly light and geared for photo not stage (skin-tone-evening… -
Re: Second shooter let me down
I have had this as well. Guy that shoots for me sometimes does great work and at some events, I have kept MAYBE 10% of what he shot and 101% of the time I looked at them, I was wondering what the hell was going through his head?? I don't have any problem telling him when his work is good or bad and he knows if I am happy… -
Re: Structured way of entering and retaining metadata
Head over to my post in this thread for an explanation of IPTC metadata http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=35616 Yes, you can edit EXIF data. Do a google search for edit exif and you'll find a lot of options. One of them is Exifer. I doubt that smugmug's geotagging goes into the EXIF, but that again is another item you… -
Re: Pricing for Profit vs Bad Business or Understanding what your Business Model IS!
Sorry but if you are a "Business Consultant" as you claim, then you need to go back to Accounting 101 and review fixed vs. variable costs. Rent, unless you are paying a percentage of sales, is clearly a fixed expense. Doing this $10 job won't increase your rent. Insurance, unless you are paying a per-shoot insurance… -

Re: Help me buy into a system!
You haven't specified a budget, which will significantly affect your initial choices! Also, are you trying to amass all your gear at once, or are you planning to go bit-by-bit? Choose the camera which feels best. I know you said you liked both, but let the ergonomics and overall handling ultimately be your guide - both are… -
Re: Basic Lighting Help, Please
To decide whether to use an ST-E2 or a radio transmitter trigger like the Skyport or PWs, comes down to whether you wish to make use of the ETTL function of the EOS 580ex flash. The Skyports will trigger your 580ex in the flash's manual mode, but you will lose ETTL with them. With the ST-E2 you can retain ETTL function. SO… -
Canon Image Transfer (Looooong whine and short resolution)
Since I moved to the Dark Side and started enjoying viciously unforgiving world of dSLRs with my new Canon 20D, I realized that, apart from many other comfortable things, my 828 provided me with one convenient service - fast, native, easy-to-use USB file I/O interface. Plug the cable in, turn the camera on - and it simply… -
>>> Llywellyn, People Photo Challenge #6 winner
Llywellyn won the people photo challenge #6: Movement. I asked her to answer a few questions, and this is what she told me: WHO ARE YOU? I’m not quite sure I’ve yet figured that out. :D What I do know is I work in publishing as an editor, and I am constantly chasing new creative endeavors and foreign countries to explore.…
