Re: Not one has booked a short form for this year??

I don't know how much my insight is worth seeing that I've only been doing this a very short time, but I offer my brides a full-day edit plus a highlight video- I don't have packages. The highlight...

Re: New Website - advice appreciated!

One of the first things I noticed was the shots in the slider. While they are really nice looking shots, they all are of the "same" thing, a couple kissing (except for two shots, I'll give you that)....

Focusing distortion on my Sigma 24-70

I've been noticing lately that when pulling focus on my Sigma 24-70 lens with my 60D, that elements of the image distort a little bit as I focus. It's hard to explain, but I guess it seems to happen...

Re: What do you charge for making extra BluRay discs?

I'm looking at my options for packaging, once I bump my prices and want to deliver a higher-quality physical item. I've been using glossy inkjet labels for my discs and case covers, but I'd...

Re: Question about DSLR mics

I have the Rode Videomic, but not the pro. I've been wondering the same thing- how does it give you a warning, does the light blink?

Re: New Slider

Danny- I like that these are so inexpensive, but the bearingless system does worry me. I don't want to have to worry about my slider getting stuck when I'm running around at a wedding, and I don't...

Re: Camera slider suggestions?

What slider length do you guys find useful in wedding shoots? Not so big that you can't carry it around and get it into tighter spaces, but not so short that you keep finding yourself running out of...

Re: What do you charge for making extra BluRay discs?

Well, right now I'm offering one disc. But that's only because my fees are extremely low, as I'm starting out and I need the introductory business. I don't upcharge for BluRay in the first place, but...

Re: Is anyone shooting with an EOS-M in their bag?

I haven't read anything related to stills. But if it adds noise over the 60D, then forget it.

Is anyone shooting with an EOS-M in their bag?

I currently shoot B-cam with a 60d, but I wouldn't mind trying a mirrorless camera to see if I can figure out a way to help my focus ability. Not necesarilly constant autofocusing (like for moving...

Re: 60D Owner Needing Recommendations

How are you guys shooting with these lenses opened way up at f1.4/1.8/2.0 etc? I shoot weddings on a 60d with a Sigma 24-70, shooting pretty wide open for low-light situations, and pulling focus is...

Re: How much of your video is chronological?

Man, remember when you couldn't stream an event in real time to the internet through a wireless camera to viewing attendees thousands of miles away? Those were the days.

Re: I hate balcony shots

This is why my third cam will be a camcorder, not a dSLR. I want another angle that will match up with the XF100 in post anyway, without a lot of adjustment. I will probably try and get a used Canon...

Re: Cheapest acceptable quality audio recorders?

When I first set out to do wedding videography, I immediately purchased two Zoom H1's. They're basic, but they get the job done and at $100/each they don't break my budget. After four weddings, I...
