norman is so cool.

Can you post some pictures from your double cameras that day?

did you want pictures of little girls or little boys? :)

Do you have pictures of little dogs and cats? naked?

You have guts man. I would never have the guts to lie down on the floor like that.

even people with cell phones get down on the ground to take pictures now...

jordan showed me this off sportsshooter i think. expensive light stand, eh?:p

^Love the stand :D

Why hasn't anybody told me about this JB get together?

holy crap i just bought a 85mm f/1.8 for 250 canadian from calumet photo. Those guys are super nice too.

^^ Wow, great deal

Awesome deal. Congrats!

^^ wow and i was just about to buy a used one for 420 0_o

heheh... thanks to klyment tan www.klyment.com

he told me about it.

so, a friend asked me to shoot his grad. I've never shot anything like that before and have only done a few portraits. Does anyone have any grad shoots in their portfolio that I could take a look at to get some ideas? I'm thinking of basically sticking with my 17-85IS. I also have an old 70-210, but wasn't really planning on using that too much? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I've warned him that I've never shot anything like this, and told him to get someone else, but he insisted I do it...

Majin nice price. I sold mine w/ hood + filter for $440 cdn :P. Which was still a very good price for the person who picked it up.

Colin. Keep things simple until you have a good set of basic photographs. Then be more creative.

Portraits are typically taken above 50mm to reduce distortion.

Take a breather and step back to analyze things before you shoot. It makes your life easier and allows you to see more of the things around you.

Good luck.

Holy crap. What do you think the size of that lens on the left is? It's gotta be at least 600mm?

EDIT: I went back a page. Senna answered my question :p

um....use bridge....or photoshop....

most raw editors should be able to see it in file properties.

of course there's the firefox extenstion

Thanks for the tip. Any suggestions on which lens I should use? I think the 17-85 would be sharper because it's newer and has an IS, but the 70-210 would have more dof

portraits don't need that much DOF IMO...if its just facial....

personally i would use the 17-85

my new pc is here... gona start chopping tonight...

gona be a while :o

What did you get?

I need to upgrade soon. My computer is having a hard time editing 12.7mp images

Hmmm... well I'll put it this way... my strongest portraits are taken mostly at 200mm.

^ that's what I figured. Thanks for the help! :)I just got a Athlon 64 Dual 4600+ with 2 gb of ram, a geforce 7600 gs with a 300 gig hd (and then my old 200 gig as well). That ran me about $800 or so with a case (but no windows)

It's a great computer and I have no problems with editing 10.1 mp images. I'll even have 10 or 15 open at a time! after about that it starts to lag

intel 6400 / 4gig ram / 320gig internal 320gig external / 7600gt
