The *Official Photography Thread*

No dynamic range at all. Whites are blown out and darks are under exposed. It kinda makes for a cool picture though

 

looks like the contrast is just way overdone. I agree it looks kinda cool though.

 

I kinda like the unsaturated look with over done highs and lows.

here's one I took a while ago and played around with


For some reason my pictures always upload darker than before

 

Unsaturated FTMFW

 

Good luck tomorrow Jake.

 

Thank you. I actually got a second photographer. My aunt. she has done a few weddings so she is gonna help me out.

 

Cool!

Dunno how it is down your way but up here, it's stunningly beautiful and a wee bit warm. Great day for a wedding

 

SO now i see why, when i tell another photographer im shooting a wedding and they say, "better you than me".......AND i see why people charge so much for them.... it was a cozy 98-100* in santee, CA yesterday. wearing all black, trying to control the wedding party....oh man... If i ever shoot another wedding (after the one im doing in september) i wont do it under "x" amount of money..because honestly not worth it....its great experience though and im glad i did it.

 

The weddings are easy.... I don't mind 'doing' weddings. Its all the processing afterwards that drains me, and any other person who's done them. I've done 3 of em and I'm thoroughly DONE. No more. Not without an assistant at least. I've been doing them for friends since Cape Cod photographers are easily 5 grand and above. Its nice, I usually end up with a few beers in me by the end of the night.

 

Yeah the actual shooting was easy. But this wedding yesterday was so un organized. i am really glad i had an assistant though

 

Haven't found one that is very organized honestly. I got told '10 minutes then we're walking'.... 2 minutes later I'm sitting out back with a smoke in hand and they start walking..... that was the last one...

 

yeah haha. idk i have WAYYYYY more fun shooting concerts.

 

Never done... you gotta flash pack? I'd imagine you need alotta juice for your flash.

 

Flash brackets probably come in handy too.

 

Word... Screw weddings...

 

X2, I hate having to wrangle everyone together especially when some of the elder relatives don't speak english.

 

I like being a guest at a wedding but I have to say to anyone that shoots weddings for a living, you have my respect.

 

I am selling all of my equipment while I prepare to move to Portland.



I'll be back soon enough, but I have to get my priorities straight first.
