If my freelance stuff got going I would have an Epson roll printer. Right now I let clients order prints from group events through smugmug. If it is friends asking me to shot something and they want specific prints, I order them from collages.net

The roll printer would have been great for design comps as well as photos though, which is why I was interested in one. Now that I have a full time job though I won't be doin much freelance design, and I'd rather push to do commercial shoots than family parties.

 

Not sure why, but I'm digging this cropping.

 

Me too, love the expression in the eye.

Her hair looks exactly like my gfs when she doesn't straighten or brush it

 

Don't tell the hair stylists that! They started at 4:00, show was at 9:00

 

Yeah and the crazy thing about it is she always gets compliments on her curls yet she still straightens it almost everyday.

I don't get women.

 

I just put up my F5 for sale

Wish I could keep it but I just need the money.

 

Use a bright constant light matt. You we get better eyes, less pupil

 

Haha, KNEW you were going to comment on the lighting.

It was part of photographing the hair prep. They just needed front/profile/back of the final hair. Wouldn't let me bring a light setup either, so it is just hotshoe flash on a flash bracket.

What pisses me off is that there definitely would have been enough room to use a Westcott octobox with my speedlight on the wireless trigger.

 

Here's a shot with my Nikon F5 with Kodak Tri-X 400 film.

 

Dude, just keep it! What is worse? Being without food for a few days, or being without a film camera?

 

Haha yeah but the good color film is like $12 a roll and getting it put on a cd from Costco is another $8 or so. It was a good learning experience and I definitely learned a lot about composure and patience but I think I'm gonna use the money towards a new lens, preferably an 85mm f/1.4

 

It was funny when I scanned that picture that I accidentally set it to 4800 dpi and it took about 15 minutes to scan and the file came out to be like 350mb and the size was about 33,000x44,000

 

So get a poster printed, doesn't that count as a Christmas gift for the gf?

 

I was seriously thinking about that. Where do I go to get it done? I couldn't open the file in Lightroom or Photoshop because it was to big

 

Yeah its on camera flash, but just a heads up for pupils

Thats why I shoot with the modeling lamp on, on the main light.
