Black and White Pictures with Colorful Friends.

So last night a few friends and I decided to go downtown and have some black and white fun. Not really looking to shoot anything, just to hang out, talk photography and maybe snap some frames in B&W.  Most of us brought one of our Digital’s and a Film camera. Below is some of the snapshots from my G12 Point and Shoot Digital.

An hour at WPPI

Had to stop into WPPI today for a few quick shots of Nick Adams working, Nick is a well known photographer from Utah that is here for the WPPI convention. For those of you that wonder what WPPI stands for, it means “Wedding & Portrait Photographers International”

Nick is one of many highly acclaimed speakers that is here in Vegas to share his knowledge. Today Nick was teaching a sold out class how to light models with nothing more than the a few off camera flashes.

Nick’s teaches by first explaining the concept then letting his students play. Some could not wait for their chance at the transmitter that fires the light so they shot without it.

As I was not planning to shoot any assignments today.  I was caught off guard when I got the request to shoot this. So without my normal equipment, I instead had to rely on my trusty Canon G12 point and shoot to get these images.

f8 and be there!

You never know when you might need your camera, always have it with you and for those times you don’t have your regular working camera with you, have something else, even if it is a point and shoot.

All images in this post were taken with a Canon G12 Point and Shoot using only available light, no flash or reflectors were used.

f8 and Be There… A Lesson Re-Learned…

I re-learned a lesson this weekend that I would like to pass along to you.

f8 and be there…

After finishing a shoot Saturday night in Miami, the client decides to take my team out to dinner to discuss the says shoot. All good so far… Thinking this was a business meeting at a local restaurant close by I decided to leave my cameras at the Hotel, including my point and shoot camera.

This folks was a mistake, a huge mistake on my part.  Where we ended up is South Beach. For those of you that don’t know what South Beach is, it is the old section of South Miami Beach, now it is an art deco area that if famous for the renovated old buildings, great food and it’s the party place for the rich and famous.

So after dinner we decide to walk around and see the sights, and you guessed it. I did not have my camera with me. Just my iPhone. Here I am in the perfect place for night photography and no camera.

So remember, no matter where you go, no matter what your plans are, ALWAYS take your camera with you.  Two sayings I am always telling others I should have told myself on Saturday night.  f8 and Be There, meaning Be There and have your camera with you. And the other… Better to have and not need than to need and not have.  Lesson re-learned, the hard way…

Here is a couple shots from my iPhone…

Understanding Image Licensing

Eyes by Las Vegas Photographer Dave Proctor

There’s no denying the business of photography is a complicated one as photographers would be the first to agree. There’s the hourly rate, the daily rate, rates for editing, rates for renting, but most confusing of all, licensing. Why in the world would a photographer want to license an image instead of simply selling the photo and calling it a day? How could this possibly be customer-friendly?
