PPG loves me again.
Martin, that is a cracking shot. I might be wrong but I have some of those in my back garden and I never noticed it enough to consider taking a shot at it :). I guess it takes an artistic eye to visualise it and extract beauty out of it :). That turned out to be really great, love it and fully dese...

What to charge, any suggestions?
Hi guys! With respect to the flashgun, yes of course i'll play around with it beforehand, but one that works with the metering system of my K20D will at least mean that I can to an extent 'set it and forget it'. make sure you give yourself plenty of time for this. I got my Sigma flashgun for a...

all i can say is what is it worth to to you, and how serious are you about your hobby, passion. hobby by all means get some money back for your equipment but was you going to buy this equipment before the gig if answer is yes then don't put this in to the equation as you was already planning to b...

OK, time to confess ...
I think the 'photographer' had been at the booze BEFORE the wedding! I only manage shots like those with my old Panasonic, which took so long to focus that most indoors shots were poor/missed/out of focus/the wrong subject! There's hope for me yet.:lol::lol:

OK, time to confess ...
I could write a book on this subject but an essential is to get shots of umbrellas (the drivers always have them) if it is raining, it is not unknown for people to 'forget' why you didn't take any picures outdoors! The worst one I did was with an ex-Miss Scotland who turned up very late, all the ...

but wow.... why did those people have to sue him? Better business sense to have a contract, and simply return thier money in event the pictures got lost... It's not like a bit of plastering, where you can get the money back, and pay another contractor to redo the work. Once the day's gone, it's...

Ebay strikes again!
OK so how does this work? My ebay rating, the stars bit, WAS 5,5,5,4.8. That's reading top to bottom. I log on this evening and it's changed to 4.8,5,5,4.8. The number of people leaving feed back has DROPPED by 1. I can't see anybody missing from the feedback lists, so what happened to t...

When prices were lowwww...
I guess that's up to you, depends what 'cost' you apply to the pleasure of taking photos with a great camera like the K-7 :wink: Back to original theme... I must admit I can't ever remember seeing the K20D at £270 :shock:

Back to original theme... I must admit I can't ever remember seeing the K20D at £270 :shock: There were some cash back option at that time, maybe that's why they where so cheap? at least if I remembered correctly...

Dicipline.
Some days I just take one camera/lens out. It was the Jupiter 85mm for a little while, and I did the same when I got my MX back. Went for a walk yesterday with a rucksack full of kit and my K10D with the DA* 50-135mm in my hand. I took every shot with what I had in my hand. Hmmmm... I think the...

I'm in a similar position and shortly shooting my girlfriend's sister's wedding. I have been looking at other wedding albums as suggested, and been picking up tips from the web and magazines etc. The happy couple want a mix of formal pictures and more candid shots so I've agreed a list of 'essen...

If you let the happy couple know what they will be getting and the expecation is met then there is no cause for worry. Price accordingly. If you charge £3000 and don't deliver then expect a law suit. Everybody has to start somewhere and if couple get the photos they expect at a decent price the...

good luck with it then vic, and thanks for the advice, i'm still going ahead with it, even though all im gonna get 1 thing out of it and thats just a portfolio, I've gotta shell out the printing fees and the dvd's . At least the couple want me to succeed in wedding photography, and are willing enoug...

Mike I'll give you a couple of shaggy dog stories, during my wedding days one wedding I done I put a soft focus filter on my Mamiya C330 to take a shot of the bride, and because of the twin lens I forgot to take it off :cry: However when the couple got their photos they were absolutely delighted...

I'm not going presume to advise for or against, but I thought the OP might be interested to hear my similar escapade. My Dad and I shot my Uncles wedding this time last year, we didn't charge and simply gave the album as our wedding gift. Dad and I are both keen amateurs but not pros by any s...

Mongoose, thanks for bringing up the equipment. You have to have a spare camera body and a spare flash, they dont have to be your best kit but you need to have something to fall back on. Lenswise, I wouldn't be at all concerned about using just the 18-55 and my 50mm 1.7 F. A tripod is essential ...

I'll go along with Ken only I was allowed 7 rolls of 120 film usually ASA (ISO) 160 special for skin tones. Also hand held light meter for light falling on the subject not reflecting off of it. (Which I may still use 2 weeks from now) Black suit & white Dress plays havoc with the cameras metering. I...

Mike I agree with what you say, my wedding packages came in 12-24-or 36 album packages with extra albums of the same photos for parents albums plus a few extras, I would usually take 24-48 or 72 photos and dump the bad ones usually shut eyes, but now today you can open there eyes with software, one ...
