I believe eventually the profession will still rise to the top for the professional....just like back in the day of the DJ vs Live Band thing...I was part of that era...had a wedding band and was pretty much bumped from the scene....and now the Uncle Joe DJ services are defunked... so will the Uncle Joe Photo services will be the same....education and not lowering your price to compete, but to add "give-aways"..to the customer! This may not work in all industries of photography, but most!!!....We need to be savy business people..yes?
Thank you!!...I have seen most everything in the booth..but that 1st one has to be the most creative thing done. It took them about 5 tries to get it.....
Have you used the 85 in low light yet....
Hey nice pics...I got a D7000 about 1 month ago.....what a camera... what lenses where you using for the photos?....
I use a N 35mm 1.8 and a N 10-16mm... still looking for a few primes though!
but regardless what camera you use...ITS ALL ABOUT THE GLASS ON THE FRONT!!!!
...also it depends on what features you are looking for and what lenses you currently have..... after having them both..I do like the features of the Nikon...
Donna...I used the 7D with a 17-50 2.8 lense for about 2years...what would you like to know....I can say that this a beast of a camera...has some weight to it... excellent shutter lag time.... (.45 milliseconds).. I used the wireless flash with a Metz 58 Af-1...slightly quirky though> I though use a Nikon D7000 now....

Oh Andrea where was that Bride...it was a test shot for her wedding...bride n groom excluded......lol
Like video...like photography.....the rules can be broken...thats how we move forward in this industry....the basics are there....but stepping outside box catches the eye at times....we need to evolve in this industry!!!
How about we gather together somewhere for a day or two.....share information...and save 5 grand....
You are correct, too many are money oriented, but I believe in this economy you need to be flexible, and look at all your options!
I used to be in a wedding band in late 70's through till '93..the DJ's seems to be swarming in by the dozens...even "Uncle Joe" went out and bought a cheap systems to spin records....today as I meet with and see different DJ's, it seems that the "Joe's" finally were squeezed out and there incompetence exposed..so the real DJ's with the good equipment and knowhow rised to the top.... Yeah I still see the DJ's that still have no presence and knowhow at weddings trying there best....but lets face it....when its all said and done....its what the customer remembers at the end of the event...the food and music... in our case the Bride/Groom with a bad taste in there mouth regarding to there pictures....WE NEED TO RE-EDUCATE OUR CUSTOMERS AGAIN......
...wow...amazing insect shots!!!
