3. Which rolling case do you use when flying. Does it fit in the overhead compartment? If you can/like, list what you carry, (# of bodies, lens access. etc.)
Pelecan 1510 Fits PERFECT in overhead bins, even on the tiny CRJ 800 and 900 series planes that I have to fly in all the time because I live in Fresno. So far the most I have fit in it was (all nikon)
D3
D2Hs
14-24 2.8
24-70 2.4
70-200 2.8 VR
10.5 fish
85 1.8
105 macro
SU-800
3x SB800
2x Radio Poppers
Seconic Flashmeter (for the cheap aliembee mono that I checked)
plus cards, batteries, business cards, and misc. other stuff
It was crammed and weighed about 50lbs but it all got there safe and never left my sight.
6. Why aren\'t you using Lightroom, (for those that have tried it and feel they found better, I\'m curious)
I use ACR, it is exactly the same without all the frills of Lightroom that slow the computer down, plus it is a bit easier to go in to Photoshop for the heavy work. Plus ACR CS4 is freaking awesome.
7. Do you use umbrellas or softboxes or both for formals. Why?
Neither. it is all about the beauty dish. Try it sometime, it gives the images a little something special. We normally shoot a beauty dish on the main light and bare bulb the other two lights (if we use them)
8. For those that use online hosting sites like Smugmug, Pictage, Zen. What do you feel is the biggest reason for down sales when on any particular wedding you upload.
1. Unpreparedness on your part, (gathering emails, passing out cards)
2. You bombed the wedding, images sucked
3. Nationality of the attendants. (not being raciest, just real talk)
4. Other
We use fotki and it is amazing, plus it is WAY cheaper than any of the other sites, and the services are comparable. but to answer your question it depends on the class of the family (do they value photography? or are they the disposable camera type of people?) and also how well we mingle with the guests and hand out business cards.
