Photography

I'm 100% digital but I miss my film. Will I ever get over that? I'm from the old school. I do everything right the first time so I don't need photo shop. Film has taught me well.

i've seen tons of gorgeous pictures on flickr and wonder how the pros determine starting exposure settings. Do they just know what to put the aperture and shutter speed at? Because in an instant, a photographic moment might disappear, so how do they get it right? Thanks

I am shooting a wedding for a friend, in the courtyard of the Saint Marie Hotel in New Orleans. Gorgeous setting. My problem is, it is at night and I have no idea how to get good photos in this situation. I cant get a good feel for the lighting, I have a photo but it is at dusk, I could go to the hotel and look at it at night, but they are bringing in their own lighting for the night of the wedding. It is basically gonna be me showing up and seeing the lighting for the first time and sizing it up. Any ideas?

Here is a pic of the site if this helps at all...maybe you can get a sense of what I am dealing with.

I have never owned a camera and was looking for something that looked classic or vintage. I found this camera on a clothing website and have been researching it. I have never taken any photography classes although I do know how to put film into cameras. Will this camera be to complicated? And also do I need to buy certain film for it?

I really don't know..

I've got myself a lovely old, Minolta SRT101 camera with the original Rokkor 55mm f1.7 lens attached to it. I'm basically just after some free advice about shooting at night with it. I've got a tripod and one of those release cables. But when it comes to the settings, I'm a little confused. I plan on using 400 ASA films, the widest aperture setting (which is f1.7 on this lens) and shutter speeds like 1/60, 1/30 and 1/15 of a second.

With all these settings in mind and in conjunction with a tripod and release cable, should my shots be really crisp and clear?

I should also point out that the photos I'll be taking will be of city lights, street lit scenes, car light trails etc. so no flash required.

Thanks, a complete novice.

I have been approached by a director for a leading cosmetics company who is interested in having me photograph an event where clients will be receiving makeovers and I will be taking the before and after photos. I'm just starting out and have never done anything like this so I don't know how to charge them. I was thinking that I would charge either a sitting fee per person or an hourly rate while offering portrait packages to the ladies receiving the makeovers. Would it be fair to offer a percentage of the portrait package sales back to the director since I would have never made the sales if it weren't for her? If so, what percentage? Does anyone have a better idea?

Thanks in advance!!

I am writing a short paper about photography in the 1920s, however I need info...all I've got is the internet to get stuff, so if anyone has web sites or names of photographers from the 1920, that'd be awesome! I'm not set in a topic so anything from the 20s will work, just not beyond 1930. please help!

I'm having trouble producing sharp photos because of my shaky hands. I would want to know if there are any techniques to minimize camera shake without the use of tripods. Like when taking pictures during a party or gathering. I think it would be awkward to bring a tripod along.

I try to take pictures of my husband with our children or sometimes just my husband alone and he always feels to need to make some stupid face or duck behind one of the kids or otherwise run..

It's frustrating, because I'd like a few GOOD pictures of him with the kids for when they're older and want to look back- I'm sure Daddy with his eyes crossed isn't going to be a tremendously fuzzy memory for them..

I have a Pentax K10D and am considering one of the above lenses for a trip to Africa next year and also for wildlife work in the UK, while the 50-500 would probably be suitable for the bright conditions of Africa will it still work well in the greyer Britain? Or am I better off with a shorter f4 ??

This is what I'm using my limited photographic skills for. I'm a surrealist painter, now branching into graphic (mostly just for fun). I put this in so the regulars that i know in photography can see where I'm headed. Please click on them so they enlarge, otherwise there's no point looking. You'll find that I break all the rules (and... love it).

For those of you digital shooters, when you are looking for a specific b&w or sepia shot, do you:

A) Shoot color, and de-sat afterward in photo-editor??

or do you

B) make the adjustment in camera to b&w or Sepia??

For those that do it in an editor, do you start with grayscale, and adjust tones, etc..., or just use a percentage of de-sat (or negative color saturation)??

Personally, I shoot everything in color mode, and de-sat afterward. I was wondering about un-neccesary on-camera functions.

Whats your opinion?? Does it matter with digital??
