Marco, if you don't mind me asking do you have any tips for shooting events and shit with flash? I'm working with a D60 and an SB600. I really dig your stuff, so any comments or whatever would be really appreciated.

 

lately i've been shooting at f4, ISO 800, 1/100, full power on the flash. i tilt the flash upwards at 45 degrees with a diffuser.

 

i usually don't shoot concerts with flash though. I set it to ISO 1600, f2.8 in aperture mode.

one of my first cameras that actually had interchangeable lens was a canon ae-1

definitely be careful of the little sprockets that wind the film.

I think I may have loaded it too tight or it was stuck, I don't remember but they broke and the camera became useless.

i tried tracking down the part but couldn't find one. there's alot of cheap lens out there made by a variety of companies.

 

if i remember correctly it has an in camera meter

i'd say focus on learning fstops without flash first (100 iso film)

then branch off into 400 iso etc eventually adding the flash etc

 

don't worry if the flash is good or not, does it work? then its good enough.

i'd say 99% of photographers that own flash use them 1% of the time.

use the money to buy more film

is there any kind of code with expierienced photographers. is it fair game to use photoshop etc or taboo.

 

im talking stictly personal and/or portfolio pictures not commisioned jobs/advertising.

 

No real code, almost everyone I know on a professional or serious amateur level edits in one way or another, film and digital.

The general Idea I've gathered and my own personal taste is that it should never look edited.

Also the photo shouldn't be "fake" meaning the actual content itself can be edited to a degree,

but adding in something that isn't originally in the photo and faking a good shot is frowned upon.

There are a few famous examples of people editing together an awesome photo but being harshly discredited later.

 

The main idea I think is to try and do as much as you can with the camera and as little on a computer.

Not as some kind of "keeping it real" type deal, it's just funner actually taking photo's and improving than sitting on a computer polishing up turds.

 

Plus the end results are always better that way, I saw a stylist get cut off from working with a photographer on a shoot once.

She suggested instead of setting up the shot right that it could be easily edited later.

While it was true and would have saved time, relying on editing later limits options.

The general idea is to shoot the best possible image first and edit to perfection later if needed.
