I personally am not motivated to dump my EF kit and start all over again. Perhaps if I were starting out or had money to burn, I’d look at the R5 when released. Otherwise, I am content with my ...

Relax, I read it just fine and you're simply a legalistic personality that wants to pick apart every damn detail of my post. I understand the issue but encourage the OP not to cave it because it ...

I can comprehend just fine, his Client seems to understand the concept it’s those at the property and architectural firm that hold themselves in such high esteem. In the end, they’ll probably kill ...

So, the person and/or group wants something but they don't want to pay for it? If they do not see the value perhaps it's time to let them go as a client. Maybe they can find someone to pay them to ...

Thanks for the comment, the first was Profoto Acute2 with a soft box, the second was natural light and then lastly Kino Flo.

Dan, I have owned an Acute2 kit and monolights for years and thankfully haven't required service. I bookmarked Silvino's Pro Flash Rx, located in LA and you may want to contact them. I would start ...

I mainly shoot Food and when I shoot other subject that move, I set my exposure accordingly. The advancement in ISO performance allows me to use an exposure that creates quality images. I do not ...

Their fee was too low and they wouldn’t pay till it’s published in August. I cannot agree to finance their project and be paid below an acceptable fee.

Your paperwork should contain how the images can be used among other details, get it signed before the shoot and be prepared to enforce it.

I have limited experience with shooting Real Estate images, my specialty is Food and Lifestyle. The dozen or so times that I've shot properties, I'll spend about two to three hours shooting and ...

It is a never-ending process. After twenty-five years, I still look for new ways to do my job or anything else for that matter.

I try to light people in a complimentary way with any combination of octabank, soft boxes with or without grids, umbrella, beauty dish, scrims, flags, reflectors or even foamcore. As I said, I ...

Clamshell lighting is flat and not flattering to people, unless all you just want is to throw a lot of light at the subject and try to mimic the effect of a light tent.

I feel like clamshell lighting in general is an all in one lighting mentality, it doesn't look great and is a lazy approach.

As stated it's a tough lesson to learn, get your paperwork in order beforehand or there will be pain. Your estimate contains all the details regarding the images, how they are to be used, ...

No, I communicated honestly. The manual is available online and the specs are everywhere.

That is hilarious! You must be new to photography.

Yes but how would you classify the D1? Sorry, I’m not splitting hairs. Thanks for reminding me why I avoid this forum regularly. Bye
