So about that "first wedding" thing (with images :)
I think it went pretty well - the things I wish had gone differently were mostly things outside my control, but we were easily able to roll with the punches. I was beyond grateful to have Nicole :bow with me - not only was she a tremendous asset and covered a zillion things I missed, but she is an uebercool person who is… -
LPS#7 Feedback Thread
This came in a PM today from urbanaries* In Hindsight. #63 Xia_Ke. The first time I looked at this image, I clutched my mouth. I have looked at it several times now and it haunts me more each time, brings me to tears. In fact I’m crying openly about it now as I write about it. I feel so much pain in this image, I find it… -
Some Exposure Settings with the Vivitar 285HV
I have been reading the Strobist blog on and off over the past year, and finally decided to drink the Kool Aid. The Strobist website is devoted to learning the use of small battery powered speedlites, entirely off camera, to create professionally lit images without the use of studio type strobe lighting. I ordered the… -
Re: How to Get to The Next Level?
That's a given. Obsolete is probably to strong a word for five years out on better gear. Showing a little age, yes. 1. Get a workflow. 2. I personally prefer raw and create my own JPGs instead of letting the camera do it. See http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=160124&highlight=raw+processing 3. Since you don't have that… -
Re: What to shoot in Houston
Well I am sort of from Houston, but it depends on what you are drawn to shooting. Personally I would go downtown. If you have a nice wide angle you can get some excellent modern skyscraper shots. Also from a vantage point just outside of downtown, Houston actually has a very photogenic skyline. If you'll have a vehicle,… -

Re: smugmug subscription prices to rise
This is a really good discussion and I appreciate very much how thoughtfully you've debated the issue. Truth be told, we have cringed at raising the standard price as well. It's interesting to think of placing some restrictions on it because it would be nice to maintain an impulse-buy price point. But it's an account level… -
Re: Opening for my Big Show
I like it. How did you get you studio's name onto the Times Square chyron? :D I'm not sure I get the segue from monolog to Times Square, but each on there own are pretty good, I think. I'm not a pro at all, but these are some of the things I hear in the recording. There is noise underneath the monolog. It's just plain ol'… -
An interesting wedding
When I got the call about this wedding I knew something would be a little less than your traditional formal affair. I happen to be available for the date & time, less than a month away. I met with the bride and her grandmother, and booked the wedding. It is to take place in a small town on the lake, outside at 10am. They… -
Shenandoah in October anyone?
This post got me thinking that it would be a great idea to get some of the Mid-Atlantic dgrin shooters together for a day (or weekend) of shooting at Shenandoah while the leaves are changing. Right now I'm thinking about either the 11th or the 25th, and possibly both, I've got another commitment the weekend of the 18th,…
