hello there fellow hogs. hope all are well. listen, i don't know if it's me, or the fact that so many people have cameras now on their phones or what but i find it sooooo difficult to find anybody who's willing to pose for portraits!! and i'm talkin' for free too, i don't charge. i just enjoy shooting & quite frankly , i don't feel like i'm at a skill level where it would be fair to charge. is it just me? what can i do to improve my chances? i just hate it when they say, "oh, i don't photograph well". thank you all for reading my post & for any help or suggestions you may have.

If only I lived closer! Nikon is running a school at Yellowstone Sept 18-23, for about $1600, including some meals. There is a two-page-spread in the new Pop Photo. Aside from the distance, my wife's birthday is that week, so being 2,000 miles away would not be a good diea.

if you're at the grand canyon, don't make the mistake i made. i hadn't heard of antelope canyon, so, of course, i didn't go there. don't miss out on that beautiful place, particularly during the summer months when the sunlight shines down into the slot canyon & pay the extra money for the photo tour as they afford you more time there & photo ops.

i may be completely off base here but have you considered hdr? i'm not even sure if that's a viable solution & i've never done hdr but it is supposed to give wider range, isn't it? just a thought.

you're quite right & i agree fully, however,even though it may look as a "posed" photo, trust me when i say, i grabbed & growled for this shot. it was only a very brief pause in the storm. this little guy was every where. not your most co-operative subject. lol

You could put him on shady side of tree and use fill flash. He would not be squinting then. Just a thought.

yes, i don't even say anything usually when someone comes on here claiming to be a pro , but asking some of the most basic questions. it's like, if you have to ask that, you shouldn't even be considering shooting someones wedding.

Don't even get me started on people that call themselves "professional" photographers. It is one of my many pet peeves, I bite my tongue even on this forum when so called professionals post client pictures that wouldn't make it off this Mom's memory card. On a plus side those professionals don't usually hang out here for too long.

photosig is an excellent site that i highly recomend but it is provisional. you have to critique so many of others photos for the right to submit your images for critique.
