Thanks Peter appreciate your response. I think my question should have been worded a little more sharply. My problem is when i move the slider i don't know what the colors are and it's hard to figure out if i am using complementary or analogous colors. So, for instance if my top hue is say a 30 what should the bottom hue be set at to get a complementary color and what would the analogous hue setting be set to? Make sense?
I am definitely not a fan of split toning but a couple of clients i am working with want some vintage looking prints and split toning is the way to go on this one.
Your link is really helpful. Thanks!
Can someone make some suggestions for setting recipes in LR for your split-tone images? I am significantly color-deficient and some base settings to start and i can adjust. I don't want start with non-complimentary colors paired up which seems to be my forte.
I would be very grateful.
Coolhoosier: would suggest sunrise or sunset at white sands?
Oh!!!!!!!!! Forgot to ask. has anyone done night shots of the milky way? Where would be a good place to find total darkness for long exposure say 30 sec without city lights interfering??
U GUYS ARE THE BEST!
Bahahahaha.... ok... I've not heard of this feud but I am game....
These are all very helpful suggestions.... please don't hesitate to repost if you realize another location!!
See you guys in a couple of weeks!
Pecohen, re hot air balloons - would I see them from the west side of Sandia or the east side of sandia?
HI!, coming out in early August from Charleston, SC. Can I get suggestions on locations for sunrise/sunset landscape shots of all kinds.
I love abandoned buildings/towns/mountains/buttes/rivers you name it! looking for suggestions.
Thanks to all!
I have done some espionage. Didn't think about the 10%+ idea. I find that they don't put much out there because others do research on what their packages include. Good idea though.... THANKS!
HI Boone! Thanks for the great answer. To further refine my question.... what do you give the clients? Do you have packages with different options? do you drive the 1/1's to purchase prints? Do you offer framing, do you give digital files, gift bags, do you deliver your prints in fancy folders, any gifts to couples, etc.
Hi all,
A business question for those that shoot professionally. What do you include in your family portrait packages to your clients? Interested in shaking up my current offerings. Would be interested in how you organize your packages as well. THANKS
Bobby Deal. I agree with the premise of your comment about pricing. It does have to be thought out if it is your full time profession or you will go broke. People want the T&B treatment I say go for it. Chances are those customers would never seek us out because they don't want to pay that amount for fine artistry. They aren't going to print them anyway. Here's an idea for ya- sell High Definition screen saver images of your session. I do. Big hit. It's a little time consuming because I use photoshop elements and can't save the actions but it is doable but I charge for that. Just a thought
So true. The other HUGE mistake was to mention the total images I took at the session. They wouldn't pay until they saw all the images. I have never delivered anything to them. I am learning slowly but surely.
Thank you CaptainC. That is exactly what I meant.
