The Photography Thread

Yup!

Problem with weddings is the race to the bottom in terms of price since there are so many weekend warriors, coupled with "my uncle Jim has a nice camera he's going to do the photos"

Plus no one realises that the price paid for a wedding isn't just for the day but the week of editing that follows.

I did a 12th birthday party at the weekend and it was ok but realised I didn't miss it, planning to do some landscape this winter just for myself

I partly got into pro photography work through my music writing, but spending the first three songs of a band I like in the photo pit being trampled on by other photographers, getting snatched at my crowd members and occasionally having bottles thrown at me (by band members sometimes) convinced me I'd rather be a paying punter.

Plus sometimes you turn up in London to shoot a band and they decide to play with just one light on:

But that gives this picture atmosphere... I like it.

Thank you, apparently it wouldn't work in print, I'd have it as a poster though!

I find B & W photos very hard to get right on the printing side, with all the blacks you need good printers that cost are a fortune..If its a good photo I do send and have it done on a professional print set up..

Hi An

Andrew..

This was my first attempt at getting it right but I did have a better one with the tree slightly off centre which improved the 1/3rd rule but Lightroom kindly lost it for me..

I like it. I don't have Lightroom anymore so really struggle when searching for photos. I have a stack of 8 drives!

Cheers. At least the flooding in and around my village is enough to be photo-worthy but not overly destructive.
