rates for second shooter

howdy, all! at this point, photography is a hobby i take seriously but which doesn't have to pay the bills. that doesn't mean, however, that i'm averse to earning a few bucks if i can. as it happens, i've been asked about shooting as a second for a local wedding team. they've asked me what my rates are and the truth is i'm clueless. what can you all tell me about appropriate fees?

thanks!

What all the responsibilities do you have? Do you just shoot and hand over the digital files?

at this point i believe that is the case.

The photographer I work for pays $200 a day. The 2nd shooter just hands off CF cards, and often times won't work the full day with the main shooter (skips out on the getting ready, etc.)

Another photog I know pays $100/day. (Her packages are about 1/3 of the cost of the other photographer, hence the lower price.)
