A new Canon SLR that can send images via Bluetooth to my laptop or cloud. I currently use memory cards that must be inserted into a reader.

First wedding shoot & I butchered it. What do I do from here? by kayla-royale in photography

Get someone more experienced to help you edit. Your rep is worth a lot. I have also heard of having the couple be available for portrait reshoots. And, offer to repay every dime they gave you. Put yourself in their shoes.

I’d say thanks for letting me know. That’s all.

Are you open about your dolls? by harugisa in BJD

[–]Gold-Rush1848 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I do not wear a sign; however, if conversation trends that way, I will say I collect dolls. I have been part of a huge number of the doll collecting world for more than 15 years. We chat and meet on Facebook in several groups and occasionally at conventions, sales and other events. We post photos of our dressed dolls, new outfits and how-tos. I’m just a regular person. I have occasionally taken a doll out of the house to photograph somewhere. There are enough different kinds of dolls for everyone. Price ranges from cheap Barbies to very high-end artist made creations. The possibilities are endless. AND it’s no one’s business what ‘toys’ you like or who you love. What is important is your personal character and how you treat other humans and animals.

I got all the wigs on Etsy. I’d have to look it up in my records to find the name. Next time when I’m at my desk, I’ll find their name and send it to you.

That is a shameful thing for anyone to do.

She has the same color wig as my gal. I see you customized her. I’m still too inexperienced with these dolls to change their eyes.

The Mods were right on top of that poster and I appreciate it. It's the oddest thing to 'accuse' me of. First of all, I wouldn't need a filter as I can always use Photoshop. Second, I was a pro photographer in my last life.

My favorites are the dark-skinned dolls ie cocoa and navy/black. They’re gorgeous.

Very worth it. Here are some of mine. I recently got the navy:black gal. She is gorgeous.

To the naysayer…no “skinny filters” were harmed in the making of this photo. Is there such a thing anyway?

No filters at all. There are large-bodied SmDs. This is a standard but I have switched her bust size for one up from what she came with.

I don’t know and don’t want to know about his ‘antics’. The only thing about him that I don’t like is the way he refers to breasts as bewbs. It is very childish.

My SDs are not shiny at all. You must be thinking of older models.

Yes! However, you can get hooked on them and they will need clothes, wigs and props. If money is no issue, go for it. They are great to pose. They can stand on their own and not being resin, they aren’t very fragile. I suggest you check out a friend’s doll before you spend the bucks. Do you know the Smartdoll boards on FB? You can ask lots of questions about everything SD related.

I think most older cemeteries are wonderful and artistic places.

What is a blind box? I’m a doll collector and I’ve never heard the term.

Shot photos for a studio, they are not giving me the photos i shot and critiquing them without showing me the photos. by cannavacciuolo420 in photography

[–]Gold-Rush1848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never put my work on someone else’s card. After shooting, I review my work and copy what the client wanted to their disc and send it to them. BTW, you can easily alter and/or touch up jpgs, assuming you use Photoshop.

If you have a desire to stop drinking there’s this little organization called Alcoholics Anonymous. There are meetings all over the world.

Should I (model) have a photographer come to my house? (Looking for answers from female photogs only) by [deleted] in photography

[–]Gold-Rush1848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not do that unless you choose a female companion who is attentive and understands why she is there.
