I have a Dell and it must have a sh*tty trackpad because for certain functions (such as drawing selections) it is completely unusable - the pointer doesn't even track properly. I'll show you. And one of the biggest things I miss is the scroll wheel, I use that A LOT for zooming and it is completely vital to my workflow. Another thing that really bugs me is like for using the clone tool it feels so awkward to point the clone source with the Alt key and then to click to select it with the track mouse. I'm just not used to it but I don't want to get used to it. It must be a bad trackpad or something because I was ready to pull my hair out using it uggh its horrible. ok im done bitching lol

IMN Egyptian / Cleopatra Themed May Event - Illinois Modeling Network
kinda sad, really
Hey you, I texted you as well this morning however I wanted to ask here too. Are you going to make it to the Egyptian Themed Photo event this Saturday noon-6pm at the VFW?
I see that there are a ton of models that are going to be there and only 3 photographers.
Also let me know if you know of a large 1O,OOOsf or so space we could shoot future events in.
We are working on building capital to build sets for future events, our next event is going to be steam punk and we are going to use the money made from this event to build sets for that one.
Please let me know!!!

i dont get it, is it like a workshop or something where you learn to take pictures? or just a place to go and take pictures?
and im guessing you still have to work out individual releases with the models as well?

did you read anything I posted?
its a casual event for models to dress up Egyptian theme, females = free, males = $15 and if you want to take PICTURES, its $40 for you.
maybe it doesn't have the same impact on you as it does me -

I think it depends... for Rubin, he gets to do photo shoots with hot girls all the time, or at least more than most of us can say... So, for him to have to pay, I can see his point. For me, I would pay for the experience

...in fact, last month, I went to Vancouver's Auto Show in hopes to take some pics of some hot car show girls and it was the WORST auto show I've ever been to, in terms of the cars they had to present, and there were ZERO car show girls, I wanted to leave after 30 minutes

I just agreed to photograph a 3 year old's birthday party on Saturday for a friend. No pay, just a favor for a buddy.
First half in a Build a Bear, second half ~45 people in a restaurant.
Any tips from people who do this a lot? Please?
Friend does not want ANY editing. He wants snapshot type pictures. Asked me to do JPG only (he just doesn't care) and give him the images that day if possible.

SO.... I finally took the plunge, Upgraded from my old Sonny f828. Picked up a 60D & Tamron 18-270 as a walkaround. Obviously not a pro-body, but it works great & it does the job for me. Just off the bat any suggested reading material and or web/tutorials I can crash-course through?
Haha, no flaming on the tamron prease.

Triod, many people (including me) found Understanding Exposure (B. Peterson) really helpful.
