James

JAMES

I've just up graded thanks to Amin and taken a quick snap shot of Jasper my loving springer and i must say and say it load wow what a up grade I'm selling my old (2yr k10d)this post is not about selling but the up grade

So if you are thinking about up grading then stop thinking and do it you wouldn't regret it.

just look at this, hand held,moving and with a 55-300mm lens. the foucs area was the nose, look at the sharp detail of the shot no photoshop sharpening straight from jpg



James

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 buy don't charge.

why should they pay at his time for your development in your craft

you have not proved yourself.

if they want you to produce work on your current style (with your current set up) then by all means charge the earth

just my thoughts

james

well for what it's worth, in my opinion for this shot b&w work's well but you don't need the colour pop. The subject image is strong enough with out the person in the image try to clone him out (don’t forget the shadow).

Just my opinion

James

that gives me hope I HAVE BEEN PLANNING MY FIRST PAID WEDDING FOR TWO NO TREE MONTHS NOW. and have lost a lot of sleep over it. (but that's just me)
