May 19 13 02:03 pm Link Easiest way for severe weather to flake; When I have 2 camera bodies out,one with my 24 1.4 and one with my 70-200 set up and metered for storm style lighting right next to me and available to grab the second I see something cool and pull over.... Because I will be driving right through one helll of an outbreak tomorrow May 19 13 04:16 pm Link I guess we are going to get a couple of days of rain 50% tomorrow, 40% today May 20 13 04:01 am Link Carl Roberts wrote: Isn't that like it always is around these parts starting around now through the end of SEPT??

May 20 13 07:55 am Link OwenImages wrote: Again,which translates to our neck of the woods,that chance of rain could happen 6 am,6pm May 20 13 08:41 am Link Yes Chris...but an ill timed thunderstorm on hair, makeup, outfits and camera gear, not to mention the travel time and planning involved and then the drama of rescheduling can be a very bad thing. I try to limit my exposure to such risks. That's all I'm saying. Leading up to a shoot I try to pay attention to the hour by hour forecasts 12-24 hours leading up to the shoot. Would I like to have a shot with model, puffy red or purple clouds, lightning, sun rays bursting through a cloud, a double rainbow, a freshly rained on beach and no wind to mess up the hair and a dolphin jumping out of the water.....ummmm, yes! The chance of that happening though is slim to none. There seems to be a much greater chance of getting struck by lightning, equipment damaged, no good photos of model actually taken and the shoot never rescheduled. So, I try to plan with the best chance of getting good shots of the model and then let everything else fall where it may. If I had a model staying with me on the beach that I have shot a few times and was more of a muse...then yes, I would seek out the magical killer shots with rain, lightning, drama on the beach right outside my door...but that is a very different scenario.

May 21 13 03:24 am Link ok i needs help... so i shot against this yellowish colored wall and now am indifferent towards it...... does it look ok or should i tweak the coloration of it?  May 21 13 07:58 am Link It would be easy to if you wanted to...but it begs the question, what are you trying to accomplish? My preference would be to get rid of the greenish-yellowish cast on the wall to just make it an off-white maybe but you can change it to anything you want.

May 21 13 09:21 am Link THANKS EVERYONE  the wall is a pastel yellow originally lol..... but yeah after looking at the photos it certainly comes across as a bit green.... i was contemplating making it white, or off white, or darker as i'm just not thrilled with the shade... the models skin tone is highly accurate to him though which was my goal..... i also dont know if i like that you can see just a little wall texture, not enough to have a cool texturey (technical term lol) wall thing going, but just enough to make it look unclean haha maybe im being picky, i dunno... i need objectivity.... so if you guys shot this, would you fix the wall? although side note i need to probably calibrate my new monitor which could be part of it with you guys seeing more green than i am... i mean it certainly looks greenish yellow to me lol May 21 13 10:34 am Link orias wrote: Maybe change the crop jest a bit (take some off the top) so the colour of the wall doesn't overpower the image quite so much . . . OR, jest add a layer with a LOUD paisley print on it to the wall section . . . then no one will even notice the colour of the wall . . .

May 23 13 05:40 am Link Chris Photography wrote: Hey look! It's what'shisname... May 23 13 09:26 am Link Question to Tampa area photographers: Do you have a hard time setting up a shoot with Tampa area models? The reason I ask is in the years I have been doing this- not one model I been able to work with out of Tampa. It just happen again. May 23 13 10:09 am Link GreatMomentsPhotography wrote: No problems here. It all comes down to the individual people you are trying to shoot and maybe a bit of bad luck? May 23 13 10:34 am Link Might be hope- I am still dealing with another. May 23 13 10:47 am Link Carl Roberts wrote: Thanks Carl!
