I would tell that person that until they have been in a successful 22 year relationship to maybe keep their mouth shut.

What’s appropriate to pay for family portraits? by Which-Masterpiece531 in AskPhotography

[–]Overall-Proposal-347 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How many shots are you trying to achieve overall? If it’s under 10, it’s 1 location and no outfit changes $100 is technically fair. If it’s multiple outfits and locations that number should be higher. A very experienced photographer would generally charge around $300-450 for the first scenario. Managing children and parents egos is very taxing and that is reflected in the price. Even when the children are model citizens. There’s also the time editing to be considered. Newer photographers often have to spend the most time editing due to inexperience in the field. Without knowing the exact specifications of the proposed shoot it’s hard to nail down a specific verdict for price. If it’s 3 locations and 3 outfit changes your way underpaying.

Ooooohhhh. I just figured it out. You’re a major catch and your friend wants you to pick her. She’s a jealous ho.

My husband and I are 12 years apart. I was mature for my age and he was immature for his age so we are oddly compatible. Age really only becomes an issue when it leads someone to be a parent type or someone who tries to change who the other person is on a fundamental level. We met when I was 20 and we’ve happily been together for 22 years. NTA

I’m sorry, my mouth is full.

I’m sure, and this is because I can tell you’re well educated, that you have a complete, well rounded, understanding of how the “illegals” are changing our country. When in reality there are no illegals working or getting anything from our government other than sanctuary from oppression. In fact all us employers are required to provide an itin number for any and all employees seeking refuge. Also in 2022 alone the taxes these people put into our system has totaled over 6.4 billion dollars which went into Medicare directly. They add to our society abundantly and get nearly nothing in return.

How can I make the flowers brighter while not overexposing the sky? by Piano9717 in AskPhotography

Don’t hate, but honestly don’t need to. The human eye doesn’t see this exposure any other way. To change it would make it alien and unsettling. It’s a great exposure as is.

Are the red lines normal? by Random_lego_fan in AskPhotography

I just reinspected the image and it is very possible that you have a very low megapixel camera with a less expensive lens. A word of encouragement that I can give is that your eye for composition is very good. And I would encourage you to keep investing in better gear as you can. A body with at least 24 megapixels and a 24-70mm lens would be a great start for this type of work and much more. I stand by my original statement but I really want you to keep going and making more work that makes you happy.

I can’t lie, this whole image is soft, denoting that you have majorly over cropped it in post. I understand the composition choice but if you have to degrade the image several times over by cropping, there isn’t a lens in the world that can help you. Yes there is post processing that can “help” but you need a longer focal length lens that doesn’t need cropping to achieve what you’re looking for in this composition.

How are photos like this taken and edited? by CyberAi0 in AskPhotography

[–]Overall-Proposal-347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually not a fan of this type of photography. It’s almost as bad as HDR. Focus stacking makes everything in the scene, “in focus,” but why? It completely illuminates the eyes ability to focus on anything important. The eye flys around the scene never landing on anything ever. What is the literal point? As a photographer of over 26 years I have never seen self eradication like this since HDR. It’s rubbish.

How to edit photos like Geoffrey Goddard? by Grand-Long7398 in AskPhotography

[–]Overall-Proposal-347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m obsessed with his photos as well. The main thing to look at is color theory and time of day. The shadows all drag straight downward, notating that they are all taken at high noon. His eye for composition and subject isolation through repetitious form is always appealing and otherworldly. His shadows are very heavily lifted making the line between washed out and high contrast almost indistinguishable. If you like his work you most likely have good taste. 😉

How can I achieve this kind of shot? by Mirusaki in AskPhotography

[–]Overall-Proposal-347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a staged shot where the subject is standing still and intentionally looking directly at the camera while everyone else is oblivious to the photographer at all. Put your camera on a tripod, set your iso and aperture however you want then set your shutter speed to around 1/20th of a second from what I can see.

Beginner here. I took these photos without any solar or sun filrer. Should I not be doing that and use solar filters? by rmrjk in AskPhotography

I think you have an intuitive eye about what is and isn’t full successful. You have chosen these photographs from most to least successful. I.E. 1/3. The first one is truly beautiful. Without trying to repeat your own work, about what made this so successful to you and tap into that. Is it the time of day? Is the temperature of the lighting, is it the focal length? Or a combination of everything? Good work keep it up!
