subject:"Professional"

Ghm... National Assoc. of Professional Child Photographers

2018-02-21 Thread Igor PDML-StR




While thinking about photographers taking photos of school groups, I was 
curious what alternatives we have in the area, so, I googled.


One of the first websites that Google returned was for the
"National Assoc. of Professional Child Photographers".
I was a bit afraid what I might see there when I clicked on that link.
http://www.napcp.com/

Well it wasn't anything awful, and it might be a legit association 
But the very first few photos (actually composites of photos) I see on the 
website, - ghm... Only one photo in them is related to children:

http://www.napcp.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ImageCompExamples.jpg


Yes, I understand it is about activities for the assoc. members, but ...

Maybe I am just being grumpy this morning...

Igor

Nice.
I'm in the process of moving from a storage lock-up that I've had since
around the time I did the big home reno in 2003. Going through boxes of
various stuff I found 3 (yes 3) LX bodies, all serviced in 2002 qnd then
put away, the full selection of viewfinders, A Winder LX, what seems
like an endless variety of filters, just an amazing treasure trove of
what has become very pretty, but useless junk (kind of like my first
girlfriend, who was also useless but very pretty).


Beg to differ.  It pretty much does what it always did, given allowance for the
vagaries of time, plus it has bonus qualities.  As an example of how it improves
over your first girlfriend, I'll ask how much you want for the AF-1W and I'll
check to see which screens I am missing from my set.  I bet you didn't get any
financial return from your other candidate in the useless stakes.



Sadly, no FA-1W finder. It's about the only one I don't have.

Nice.
I'm in the process of moving from a storage lock-up that I've had since
around the time I did the big home reno in 2003. Going through boxes of
various stuff I found 3 (yes 3) LX bodies, all serviced in 2002 qnd then
put away, the full selection of viewfinders, A Winder LX, what seems
like an endless variety of filters, just an amazing treasure trove of
what has become very pretty, but useless junk (kind of like my first
girlfriend, who was also useless but very pretty).

Beg to differ. It pretty much does what it always did, given allowance for the
vagaries of time, plus it has bonus qualities. As an example of how it improves
over your first girlfriend, I'll ask how much you want for the AF-1W and I'll
check to see which screens I am missing from my set. I bet you didn't get any
financial return from your other candidate in the useless stakes.

She was willing to have sex with me. That was, in it's own way, a
financial return.
The FA-1W might be the one that I don't have. I'll check and get back to
you after breakfast.

Re: Lexar SD Card for the K-3f - Lexar SDXC Professional 1000x - 64GB

2016-01-13 Thread Jens Bladt


Thanks Christina

I just discovered, that it's only one of my two 64 GB Lexar cards, 
that's making trouble!?

And only in the JPEG compartment (Number 2).
I guess one card is faulty. I tried to send it back, but there was just 
too much paperwork involved...

I guess I'l just mark it "DNG-only"

Funny enough ther both work flawlessly in my SONY ILCE 6000.
But I got the pair for my K-3 :-(

Best Regards
Jens

So, I bought two Lexar Cards: Lexar Professional SD XC II s 150MB/s 64GB.

They gave me repeating error messages.
I noticed that the white slide lock is very bright and allmost transparent.
I guessed the lock is working with a light mechanism??
So, I took a permanent speed marker and painted the sliding lockers dark

Now I don't get error messages anymore.

I like the way you shot her, and the original is good. I like a couple of the 
first few with minor revisions. But the final result appears way overdone and

Hi guys
I've been spending lots of time filtering images.
I've been using Topaz Simplify 4 and ImpressionFX Paint Engine software.
And once in a while Portrait Professional 10 Studio.

I thought you'd like to se some of my work:

This set is from a portrait workshop I run once a month. The girl is Nanna

So no more  Velvia 100F but we'll still be able to play with the 50 in
120 and 35mm.

The pro outdoor photogs that I know make their money now by doing workshops, 
tours & seminars. Twenty years ago they made their income selling their 
images for publication.

2011-05-14 Thread Bob Sullivan

Bill,
I agree, he's on a treadmill to keep 1 step ahead of his photographers.
He and his wife do all the sales & marketing so he holds onto that
aspect tightly.
I really think that's where the money is.
With the financial crisis, more than half his business dried-up.
He fired more than half of his photographers and came out OK.
He's not the guy I'd want to shoot my daughter's wedding.
(Where's Tom VanVeen?)

Mark,
That's a good perspective.
The only photographer I know who is really successful (4 Corvettes, 2
boats, etc.),
leverages his marketing and salesman skills by hiring people to shoot weddings.
He's the consumate salesman and had 12 people working for him last weekend,
running photos, videos, DJ'ing, and running photo booths.
Each client paid a retainer before the event.


The guy I learned wedding photography from did much the same thing. The 
only problem was that when he had as many as 18 photographers working 
for him he was for the most part no longer a photographer nor in control 
of his brand name.
A number of people just plain refused to shoot his particular style (I 
didn't especially like his work, but I shot how I was told to shoot).
Consequently, quite often what he was selling was not what the people

I stopped shooting for him entirely when I realized that what I was 
doing for him wasn't compatible at all with how I wanted to shoot.
Eventually the whole thing fell apart on him because his style of 
photography went out of style he refused to change, and he ended up 
competing with a lot of the people who he had mentored, myself included.

Mark,
That's a good perspective.
The only photographer I know who is really successful (4 Corvettes, 2
boats, etc.),
leverages his marketing and salesman skills by hiring people to shoot weddings.
He's the consumate salesman and had 12 people working for him last weekend,
running photos, videos, DJ'ing, and running photo booths.
Each client paid a retainer before the event.

OT follow up Portrait Professional

2011-02-02 Thread Elizabeth Masoner

Ok, after seeing Portrait Professional advertised on my own website (I
REALLY wish the ad guys would tell me ahead of time when they land a new
client) and seeing a previous discussion here I contacted the developers and
got my hands on a review copy of the Portrait Professional Studio software
(step up from the basic).

After spending several hours testing the software out on numerous facial
types I can honestly say it is a very powerful tool.  It IS easy to go
overboard but if used with a cautious hand it is very quick and simple to
remove acne, slim faces, and generally clean up portraits.  I think it is
most useful for glamour shot type work (like proms and such where folks
don't care about reality - they want to be at least as pretty as their
clothes).
