Need some help,

A friend is asking me to be a photographer at his local car show.

I need tips, should I go wide angle (Tokina 11-16mm) or should i go with a prime like a 50mm?

Also should i even bother bringing a tripod?

Thanks in advance.

 

[SVNTI]

^ Bring everything.

KSTEEZY, i think you might want to up the Fstop for the photobooth unless you're going for that look.

If i came out of the photobooth all blurred i would feel batman.

Does Walmart or Walgreens develop and scan 120 film?

Does Walmart or Walgreens develop and scan 120 film?

Call your local walgreens/walmart photo department and find out. The option may differ from store to store, region to region.

I think you should just search yelp for a local photo lab.

I just bought my first real camera, a Nikon D3100 two lens kit to start. I'm gonna spend the next few days watching YouTube tutorial videos to learn the basics because I know absolutely NOTHING about aperture, iso, modes, etc.

Is it worth buying an instructional DVD, watching other videos or anything else besides strictly watching YouTube videos? (I have bookmarked that Ben's Newbie Guide from the 1st pg of the thread and will be checking that out too)

Thanks in advance

No need to buy dvds. Take things one step at a time and simplify things. Learn the exposure triangle: iso, shutter speed, aperture. Everything else will pretty much fall in place.

don't buy anything. Read the manual and look into froknowsphoto/Jared Polin. He's has a YouTube and website with lots of helpful info and tips.

The 7D is such an awesome piece of technology.

I can only imagine how ill the 5D is.

I have a 6D and I must say its the new beast. I've seen a few reviews saying its better than the 5D.

I am actually comtemplating on dumping my Mark 2 to get the Mark 3,. Really just dissapointed how bad the autofocus is. I shot something in my apartment the other day and I swear there were countless of phots that just came out blurry, focusing on absolutely nothing. I mean when the camera gets it right, it is awesome but man....some of the photos can be really piss poor.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

My Ikoflex came in the mail today. I'm excited...

 

[SVNTI]

One from today.

 

[grizzlyboy]

How much should I spend on a Mark 3 body. Looking to upgrade from this 50d

 

[ksteezy]

i think you can find a MKIII for around 2400$ used.....good luck, amazing camera!

four years ago i started snapping pictures at people asleep in the city. Benches, steps, trains, museums, buses. I am very fascinated by the fact that they sleep virtually everywhere regardless of people around them and of the rhythm of the city.

I self published a small 60 pages book titled Sleepers that contains 60 photos of urban sleepers. The book is limited to 20 numbered and signed copies and it will come with a small print and stickers.

You can find it online within the next weeks on

www.onegiantarm.com

or

http://seeingthingsgallery.com/

Or just drop me a line at [email protected]

I also just added a gallery to my website with some samples of the pictures in the book.

Hi guys,

Been into the photography game for about a year and I've just landed my first real gig! it is with a company based out of Toronto and they coordinate burlesque shows for an audience for birthdays, graduations or just work parties. my current set up is a Canon 60d, a 17-40L, and a 1.8 nifty fifty.  I come to you guys with some tips and trick perhaps for the setting, and maybe some gear i should think about picking up.  I'm thinking im going to have to pick up a flash of some sort, so any expertise on that would be great.  Here is their Flickr page with some of their shows in the past, so i guess im not only trying to emulate their previous work, but outdo it!

Any tips and expertise would greatly be appreciated, im a little nervous but very excited for the opportunity.
