I WAS viewing at 100%.  I was in a very dark old Catholic church that would not allow flash pictures.  I usually take very few up-close available light pictures of the couple during the ceremony. ...

Last weekend I shot a wedding with the D800 and 70-200VRII lens.  I notice a lot of noise in the files using ISO3200.  I was shooting at f2.8.  Any suggestions? respectfully, David Miller

Flash will never be obsolete.  there are many times when flash is needed.  For instance, creating a light direction, fill lighting, and defining shadows.  What separates the average photographer...

This is the first time in weeks that I have been on this particular forum.  Glad to see that many have given their thoughts on the matter. I recently (last week) was in touch with a very profitable...

This applies to weddings only Back in the MF days, we gave the bride a 5X5 proof book of all the pictures we took.  It was not uncommon for our extra print orders to exceed the B&G order. Today the...

I have to agree with much of what you said in your post. Much of my studio work is still being done with the Fuji S5.  For a single person, I can make a beautiful 20X24.  Even the eyelashes are...

Well written - and I might add - direct to the point. sorry that I was a little vague in my initial thread.  I think you now understand what I was trying to get started with the original thread - a...

Yes, I did have employees at my studios.  I will be totally retired in less than a year so I am now in the process of closing down.  My wife will be retiring from teaching next year and we will be...

to put a "value" on their work.  Having been a full time photographer, owning and operating two full time studios at the same time, I enjoyed making "art" for my customers but at the same time...

Recently, about 5 months ago, a young lady opened up a new store front studio in my home town of 5600 people.  She did a pretty nice job with babies, especially newborns.  She was young, in fact, I...

No need to buy special lenses.  You have a couple of great lens to capture your daughters pictures.  Most photographs waste money on lenses they really don't need.  From reading all the responses...

Hi Mark, I usually start out each session saying, "We start out doing some simple head and shoulder pictures for mom, dad, and grandma!"  We do several "old fashioned" head shots and then do a soft...

From my experience, the majority of people(non photographers) simply do not back up their data and their computer crashes.  No one know just how long the files will last on DVDs or CDs.  There are...

My goal initially was to get we photographers thinking of ways to increase sales.  I know I have some ideas on how to do this but I am only human and prone to mistakes. About 3 months ago a young...

I think you have too much faith in digital, especially for the most camera users.  I teach several photo classes for the local park district.  The majority of my students have no concept of files,...

First of all, I have been reading all the threads that responded to my earlier thread - part 1. This week something new has come up in my life, as well as the life of the town I live in which could...

Thanks for the long response to my original thread.  I could tell that you gave my thread serious thought.  I agree on may points that you have made, especially the future is video.  I have thought...

I have been a full time photographer for 40 years!! Wait a minute, I did my first wedding for pay in l968 so I have been in business for more than than 40 years!! It is true, times are a changing. ...

According to nikonusa.com, the widows file size of the the D800 firmware update is 9.5mb.  After downloading and looking at the file properties on my computer, the D800_0102 .bin file is 15.1MB. ...

First of all, you do have a wide variety of shots.  Some look way under-exposed and some don't  look good, in my opinion, color wise.  Some have harsh shadows.  It looks to me like you were not...
