Also, when shooting events with different skaters, I have a program handy and mark down the last photo # next to their name, so that when I process them I can organize them by name. Saves me having to go through and look at each one trying to figure out, "Who is this, oh yeah I think i saw them over here somewhere" Helps a lot, especially when they are performing in more than one event.

Great tips! I checked out your website. Cool stuff! *no pun intended*

Check out my new website... my 2nd job! Photoshoot last Sat/Sunday.

This is just a side-business I've fallen into, because I was volunteered to be the photographer... but the other parents/grandparent have no qualms of making big orders. Of course... it's their kids! :) (well, my kid is #446 and is part of the event too.)

I have another gig this August and by next month, I want to get a 70-200 f2.8 IS! My f4-5.6 zoom suffers a lot when it's not bright and sunny outside.

That is basically the same way I got going in skating photography. If you get the 70-200/2.8, you will absolutely LOVE it! I have it without the IS and it's a fantastic lens. For me the IS is not a usable feature, but for your shots it would be a great benefit. I just wish it didn't cost quite so much.

I noticed that you're using SmugMug... how do you like it? Which plan are you on? That "cropping" tool they have just blows me away. Now I can have the buyers do the work!

Yeah, I think I will have to spring for that f2.8 lens... with or without IS, but probably I'll get the IS and just be done thinking about it.

In my work, I can't use Flash... it *might* spook the horse and you don't want a spooked horse suddenly bucking with a small kid on it's back!

Thank you for the compliment about the site. Yes I am happy with SmugMug. I have the professional account. As for the lens, the IS would be a great benefit for you, esp since you are not using flash. That extra couple of stops will allow you some great captures. I rarely have the oppurtunity to shoot any slower than 1/250th so the IS would not come into play. I guess that is a benefit for me, at least dollar wise. LOL

I believe it has been pointed out on this board before (and in other contexts as well) that 95% of us chimp and the other 5% are liars.

The real question is: Does "just checking the histogram" count as chimping?

No, it doesn't. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. :)
