I got to get my butt out to Jellystone one of these days.

It's well worth it IMHO. My photos sucked because I didn't get to wait for lighting but just seeing it was amazing.

Nice picture. The amount of damage is still so visible from the great fire of 88. I was amazed at the amount of area that is covered in 10' tall pines when we were there in September. It will be recovering for another 20 years.

Thanks. There are SO many fallen trees there it's unbelievable. That's nature though and I think it's beautiful, charred and otherwise.

i love looking through the book entries & seeing people's best. It gives me so many new ideas and makes me want to go out and shoot more!!

I am in the n&l catagory now and I have a question. How do you shoot rain? i saw it on entry #37 (#34 in the gallery) in nature & landscape

Those are stars dearest. You shoot for 15+ minutes or you do what many do in well lit areas and you stack the images... you take 30sec exposures and combine them with a program.

I have never liked metallic. Never. OK, maybe not for the stuff I take, but the metallic look just doesn't work for me .. What subject matter does it actually produce an acceptable image?

I have a 20x30 of this image on metallic paper...pretty much anyone that has seen it is suitably impressed.

Where's my fish or maybe the dragon will let me borrow a ruler.

ooooh:o maybe I shouldn't be voting

Of course you should. That doesn't affect your ability to judge a visually pleasing photo. It's just a technique to learn.

how long does a client usually take to decide on an order for photos? I've heard nothing back from that senior shoot I did...they've had the proof link since the beginning of processing.

Dad and I want to try star trails...haven't done it yet.

Nonsense. Of course you should be voting.

I can imagine that is stunning on metallic.

There's nothing so certain to bring the order than a looming deadline (for them). When does she need to submit the photo by? Expect the call that morning, or maybe the previous evening.

I am struggling in the birds section....so many good entries in there..

For-EVER.
That last print order I did was for a bride from almost 2 years ago.

Mine either. My mom did it. Used my SLR and hers. oh, and a P&S.

A friend did ours. He actually did quite a good job. We offered him some $$ and he steadfastly refused. We developed them in my darkroom but sent them to a shop for printing as there were quite a few pics.

Heat is still broken. I'm still cold. Pah

That sucks. Run around the living room to stay warm.

.....Wife and I woke up one morning and decided to elope (then tell the family - that went down well )...cost $50...no photographers. 5 years later we're still saying "we have to hold a reception"...

My father-in-law offered me a free ladder if I would go that route. My wife was upset as she thought that cheep of him. I dod point out that it was a really good ladder though.

Who the heck knows....my senior I shot on Halloween still hasn't ordered.

I'm going to have a policy....gallery up for 3 weeks. After that it'll be $25 to reupload it for a limited time.

Here's a link to a star trail stacking thread...

Did I share this photo yet? It's one of the MANY hot spring pool shots I have from the Yellowstone trip.

One of the mysteries of the universe. I too never understood the amount of $$ spent on today's weddings. My neighbors daughter spent over $35,000 and ~3% of that was on the photographer though I'm not complaining . Her marriage lasted 17 months and now she moved back in with mom and dad. That's almost $2000 per for a month of marriage. I'm lucky I married my wife young. Our while wedding was about $3000, everything, including the photographer.

Our total wedding costs, including the reception came to about $185.00. Cake, sub sandwich, chips, diet sodas, point & shoot photos for those who wanted memories. No rehearsal, wife and I plus 15 guests and the priest all arrived about 11:00 AM. Got married, had some cake and snacks in the church hall afterward. Went our own ways at 1:30 PM. Nice ceremony, friendly visiting afterward, everyone agreed it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to.

I hear you, the one my BIL threw was HUGE dollars, not sure of the cost. Fortunately, my FIL pitched in a bit, and promised us the same amount. A couple months later we asked if we could get that money for a down payment on a house, and finance the wedding ourselves. He was glad to do that, and we went real cheap with the wedding, basically a big party was what it was.

LOL! DO IT! (Make sure she agrees to it first though.)

Ya think.
