Re: My latest - back with 4 minute short form
Haha, yeah, my wife and I both kind of hated that guy.
I setup the DJ gear first thing in the morning, then went to film the couple.

Re: My latest - back with 4 minute short form

Re: Long Highlights Format

Re: wide angle lenses for dancing
I've used the 14mm on a full frame or crop factor when I want the head-to-toe dancing - very handy when there is a circle with somebody in the middle... The slight distortion never bothered me.

Mostly, if you're internet isn't fast enough, carry an external HD to someone else's house every so often. For the...

If you're easily hitting your maximum number of bookings for the year, you should be raising your prices. Even if its only a modest increase to get your best profits. $100 added onto 40 bookings...

Re: Asked to film for another company
