i shot my first wedding this past weekend, on staten island. a little nervous, but not too bad. have a look, if you'd like to see.

I do mostly fashion and portrait work, I'm trying to get my foot in the door for wedding photography, currently working on getting an assistant job. ^_^ I have a website but its sorely out of date, I've been too busy to take any portfolio worthy shots... T_T

maybe something also with a timer and a tri pod. .

First something just to catch some great scenery photos with what I mentioned up above and then second to consider the timer and tri pod. . I want options but not have to spend too much to get started. Thanks!

Most all cameras come with a self timer now. Tripod is a must if you are going to do anything other than chase active beings around. Most cameras come with a USB cord to plug right into a printer.. or a computer then printed from there...

There are pretty much 3 categories of cameras....


The point and shoot that I posted earlier costs 100.00 -200.00.. not much control on them but some, I don't know what your level of experience is but you can get some really great point and shoot cameras these days, most of the postcards I sold in Oregon were with my point and shoot.

The second is this kind:

Cost between 300.00 - 500.00.. the lens is attached so you have no cost with buying lenses, and some zooms are really good. You can shoot in full point and shoot automatic, semi automatic or fully manual. I had one that i loved, I just wanted more control.


The 3rd is this kind :

Just the body with no lenses cost at least 500.00 up to 5,000.00. The lenses are seperate. I have the 40d shown above and got it used for $500.00.. my lenses are between 200.00 and 800.00 each. So this is quite an investment all at once. The common recommendation is to get a good camera, but put your money in the lenses.


I hope this helps.

Wil , the wedding pics came out great..
I am sure the couple was pleased, I am not brave enough to shoot people because I suck at lighting! I prefer to shoot a bug or a tree.


I was out in the barn this evening and saw some really great lighting and creepy webs and such, I think I will set up a shoot in there..

thanks, dee. if they hadn't been friends of mine for years, i'd likely have said no. i feel a little more confident about weddings now...so, may look into doing some of that. not that i'm looking to make that my living, but some cash here and there is certainly nice. and, you know i love shooting people. these are just dressed up people. :)

how about shooting the webs with lightning popping in the background? that would be some cool stuff. please share what you get, ok?

Ok first of many, the barn is amazing and until I got in there to shoot it, I had no idea how many millions of pics I want to take in there!

Honest comments and feedback is welcome please!

as you may or may not know, we've got a bunch of wildfires going down here in tx. there was a relatively small fire a couple miles from the house, so we went looking for it. and we found it. of course, we couldn't get to a place where we could see the fire (they keep blocking the damn roads), but i did manage to get some shots of the army helicopter that was doing water drops on the fire.

you can see them here, if you care to have a look.

not sure how i missed this post, dee. sorry for coming late to the party.

it's a nice set. what lenses were you using? a couple of the shots seem a wee bit distorted (not in a bad way), and i'm curious what you shot with.

you did pretty well capturing the cobwebs...those things are hard to get good focus on. well done! one thing you might want to tuck away for future cobweb shooting is taking a spray bottle with water in it with you. since the webs are so delicate, they can be hard to see. if you mist them, they stand out more, especially if you can get a dark background with the light coming in over your shoulder to illuminate the water beads.

thanks for sharing...looking forward to seeing more of that barn. oh, and the last shot in the album (barn from a low angle) is my favorite. really like the perspective on that one and the way it accentuates the sky.

I heard about the spritzing for spider webs, which I still want to do, or using a shot of glycerin which hangs on to the webs more, but these are cob webs and I thought it may weigh them down too much, but hell it's worth a try..part of me gets the eebie jeebies creeping around for shots and that is what gets my adrenaline going only I keep forgetting what I am doing. I used my 18-135mm lens I THINK and I may have thrown on the Wide angle.

Mostly I just have fun shooting the creepy places. Upstairs in the barn has beautiful light coming in through the slats, gotta get up there soon, it will be too dang cold to do so! Also wanted to do some Fet shots up there, large beams are great for lots of fun stuff.

Thanks! I appreciate the compliments. Sorry about the snake pics, but I just love those! lol Nature is definitely my favorite subject, and a lot of those come from my own backyard. :)
