Actually neither; I used Minolta for my 35mm and now I am looking at investing in the Cannon D-60. For medium format I use a 4.5 x 6 Bronica w/view finder and speed grip. An extra film load box is also handy for medium format.

Ah okay. I didn't even know that Canon has a D60 too (Nikon has one).
I have a Nikon D80 as well as a D40X. My lens collection is kinda non-existent right now, I just have the 18-55 kit lens from the 40X and I also own a 50mm 1.8 prime. My next purchase will be an external flash, and after that I may also purchase a fast 17-50 F/2.8 Tamron lens. Until I get the flash and the fast Tamron, I don't dare to even attempt to assist someone.
But once I get some practice and get better at taking pics, I'd like to be a 2nd shooter at a wedding or some social event.

That's a bit harsh. Would you take the groom out from the grassy knoll?

Well, I could talk about my wife's experience running a photography business, or about my career as a professional hitman. Your choice.
|

|

Maybe your wife could enlighten us about your career hits and provide some artists impressions while doing so. You do know this forum if any will definitely need a way to show pictures, graphics, and charts, pie or otherwise.

How about your wife's experience running a professional hit man?

Sorry, I meant Nikon! Honestly I have not kept up on all the new cameras over the last few years. I still prefer print photos; the Kodak Portra film is amazing.

I have a PM who is starting to do this on the side. He's got into the hardware as a hobby and gone from there, last week he did his first wedding and I think he found it a challenge. Having said that his real passion is photoshopping to get some really dramatic end results. He's been at it for 2 years!

Not surprised at the Photoshop part of it. I've been browsing wedding website portfolios for some time now and the vast majority of pics are severely post-processed to look good.

He takes great pleasure in trotting out his latest works, I look at them but it is a passion I don't share. I have suggested he go for the more subtle enhancing but I may be doing him a disservice. To me a photo is a memory, to him it's a peice of artwork, different perspectives!

Some other people are actually selling their photo to make ends meet.
