Re: PESO: Dry Creek Poppies

2010-05-26 Thread Jack Davis
The poppies are relatively insignificant to me and only serve to provide a bit 
of warm background. It's the tree trunk supporting the "reaching" limb that 
frames the background along with its cool shadows playing on the lush grass.
It will never be on the wall, but in a way I'm glad to know I respond to such 
elements.

Re: Lightroom interruptus

2010-05-26 Thread Stan Halpin
Just a suggestion - rather than trying to complete the catalog import, maybe 
try the following steps:
a. copy the remaining image files to where you want them to be. (via OS, not LR)
b. In LR, import from disc. 
c. Then import from catalog (or catalogue depending on your flavour of LR), but 
choose to not reimport any images.

I.e., split the copy, import-images-into-catalog, and catalog-info-import into 
three steps.

If the clients are friends and you ask for that kind of money, they will cease 
to be friends. If they're really good friends, I shoot their party for grins. 
If they're somewhat distant friends, I charge them a few hundred bucks. If I 
have to make money off my friends, I figure I'm pretty hard up.

RE: What to charge to photograph a party?

2010-05-26 Thread John Sessoms

From: Larry Colen
Some friends stopped by when driving through town last night and we 
grabbed a bite at the local taqueria. I was showing them my 'best of' 
folder of prints and someone else there asked if I'd be interested in a 
job shooting an event, I think it was his parents 50th anniversary.


Assuming that the scheduling worked, I don't even know what order of 
magnitude to charge.  If it's a 3 hour affair, that's easily 6 hours of 
work, so I could see people charging anywhere from $150 to $1200 for that.


I figure a $1000.00 DAY RATE; DAY = 8 hrs; $500.00 - HALF DAY = 4 hrs. 
Additional hours @ $125.00/hr beyond HALF DAY, until you get beyond 8 
hrs, then you should be charging time & a half, but call it $185.00/hr 
... unless you really want to discourage going overtime, then charge 
$200.00/hr.


Figure $150.00/hour for LESS than half a day. Three hours would be 
$450.00 ... they might opt for HALF DAY.


Charge according to how many hours you're going to be on site, actually 
in there shooting. The time you spend on post production comes out of 
your over-head.


Consider that an incentive to get it right in camera so you don't have 
to spend hours in post production.

yes & no. Yes in as much as I've given up with direct ethernet. No in that
Lightroom won't play ball after interrupting the import. Now when I try to

moving the files to a new location - it insists that they remain in situ.

Hi Ann,

The car was parked on a road in front of some trees. I shot it with  
the DA*60-250 at f5.6, 1/250th, with a B&W circular polarizer on the  
lens, adjusted to eliminate most reflections in the sheetmetal. After  
converting it, I outlined the car with the pen tool, then selected it  
with a 2 pixel feather. I inverted the selection and applied a motion  
blur to the background. Then I retouched any edges where I saw any  
artifacts from the selection process. I also had to eliminate some  
ghosting in front of the car. The PhotoShop tool seems to ghost a bit  
fore and aft. Once I was happy with the basic background blur, I  
selected the areas that could be seen through the windows and blurred  
them the same amount. Next, I did the reflections in the windshield,  
changing the direction of the motion blur to conform to the slant of  
the glass. I did something similar to the reflections in the roof.  
Finally, I selected the shape of each tire with the pen tool and  
applied a radial blur.


Voila! High-speed pan.

I suspect that most late NICs will auto configure when connected
device to device via a regular cable too, the link light is the key to
determine physical connectivity status.

I suspect that this is the issue, in the case of no DHCP server
available the TCP/IP settings would have to be temporarily set
manually. You could get away setting only the IP address and Subnet
mask fields on the network setting for the two computers. Set the IP
addresses one different in the fourth octet, ie 192.168.0.1 and
192.168.0.2 and set the Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0

I assume that you've achieved what you set out to do by this stage but
at least if a similar problem arises you will have less cause to have
to ear bash a tech ;-)

RE: PESO--Chicago, late to the party

2010-05-26 Thread Rick Womer

They made these shots possible, because I was able to press them against the

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, advice and good wishes.

I'll be doing my best to keep this an opportunity, rather than a crisis.
