    Wedding DI market rate

    At the very worst & if you are still very new + desperate, try to charge no less than $1.50 per photo. If you are charging for less than that, it'd be better to just get another job, even a low-paying job at a restaurant. Assuming you can edit 10 photos in an hour, that's only 15.00 bucks per...

    Black and White: Film vs Digital

    It's very hard, I would say perhaps impossible, to compare the two photos the thread starter posted because they are of different scenes. But regarding B&W photography in general, here are my opinions. For work, I prefer digital for its convenience. Clients these days expect faster turnaround...

    I left my heart in Aegean Sea (Greece)

    Two weeks. Wow. That must have felt heavenly to chill out & see such beautiful views for two weeks straight. I went to Greece in the early-mid 1980's but unfortunately we didn't go to Santorini. I think it wasn't as popular as nowadays back then. I must definitely go there next time!

    I left my heart in Aegean Sea (Greece)

    Beautiful photos! It's such a beautiful place. Your photos make me want to go there. :) It's definitely on my must-see-places-before-I-die list. Thank you for sharing with us. I'd love to see more photos if you still have any. Btw how many days did you spend there?

    How to clean B+W filters?

    1. Blower 2. Soft antistatic brush 3. Vapor from my breath 4. Microfiber cloth I have been using the above technique for many years & that's what works for me. I never bother using lens cleaning liquid.

    miyake

    I gotta agree with Deadpoet. That denim shorts just doesn't match the outfit. I also think the pose is too stiff & the expression captured isn't flattering. I've got this deer-in-the-headlight feeling when looking at this photo. It looks like if she probably didn't know which pose to do (maybe...

    D3 discon?

    With a camera so successful and popular among photojournalists and wedding photographers, I think it would be foolish of Nikon to discontinue the D3 this soon...so I highly doubt this rumor. The D3 and D700 just eat other cameras for breakfast when it comes to high ISO performance. AFAIK there...

    Show off ur "Work Space"

    Man...I wish I had the luxury of putting my things widely spaced like what you did in that photo. My work desk is huge already (I had it custom made) but somehow I still manage to cover most of it with my stuff. LOL :D

    Regional Beach / Spa destination to recommend?

    I would rather go to Bali instead of Thailand or Malaysia. Plenty of places to choose from over there. If it's only a weekend trip (2 nights/3 days), it shouldn't costs too much.

    Download IE8 !

    I personally won't bother unless it has some very important features that no other browser has. I quit using IE years ago.

    Best method to clean prism, mirror ....

    Best method to clean prism or mirror is to leave it alone & bring it to NSC whenever your camera needs cleaning.

    Anyone likes locorice?

    Licorice is okay to me. It kinda depends on the products too. Some taste better than others. It's been a very long while since I ate any licorice-flavored anything though. Btw loco in Spanish means crazy, WuffRuff. :)

    Nikon FG Film camera

    Try replacing the batteries first. Unlike the FM2, the FG is not 100% mechanical, so if the battery is dead...you can only use M90 and Bulb.
