I am a shooting pro using DX cameras in real estate, head shots, weddings, mitzvahs, and web sites. I particularly love my two D7200 Nikons!

I love it!

....learn to shoot full frame, regardless if the camera is held vertical or horizontal.

I suggest that you spend more time thinking about images than hardware!

Maybe I have lost contrast, but I do not see it! My paying clients are happy.

I know that having the lab creating a profile for you is the best. However, I have learned from a fellow professional, that after I have corrected my image to the way I like it, for printing purposes, I use WHCC, I turn my monitor brightness down to 7% and then brighten the print accordingly. I send it off to WHCC and it comes back perfectly in 2 1/2 days. Remember to turn your monitor back to its "orignal brightness." Mine is 50%. My usual print making correction is 10 to 40% brightening. Remember when viewing the print on the monitor, in my case at 7%, you get back what you see!

"Bottom feeders" get what they pay for.

...stay away from Thumbtack. The customers are "bottom feeders."

I use a 50mm lens in the studio for my head shots on a D7200 Nikon.

I am using the original versions of Nik in conjunction with the "old" purchased Lightroom and I think the two together are terrific!

I am a professional working photographer. I have two D7200 Nikons. Fabulous. Two card slot: I am backing up on the job....safety! I am shooting a home today using the simple 7 braketing stops and using HDR software. I shoot weddings and family portraiture. Love my cameras. www.delottphoto.com

After you get your cameras, start giving some thought to the "glass" you are going to use.

B&H...safe, good shopping. Great service by phone for assistance. Talk to real New Yorkers!

I bought a factory color corrected Dell monitor. In Lighroom, your image is the "true" look. After you pop the image out of Lightroom, you may see "increased" saturation. sometimes I go back in LR and decrease the saturation 5% to accommodate the general look in monitors. However, when I send out to have a print made, I use the look I get in LR.
