I strongly agree with KAU but I am dumbfounded that you can't see what's staring you right in the face. I think the answer is in the question. Rodeo Photography It says what you do but it's a catchy name too. One of the few situations where the catchy name is appropriate.

A friend contacted me just today to ask if I would shoot her in-laws wedding tomorrow as someone they had asked to do it had backed out at the last minute. I agreed as there is no way they can get someone else on short notice and this is a favor as they couldn't afford a professional wedding...

You can either use shutter priority, aperture priority or manual mode. Shutter priority will be easiest as you just set the shutter speed you want to use and the camera will set the aperture for you. I suggest that you set an ISO rather than setting it to auto. Cameras have a tendency to really...

If you like a lighter read, with a light-hearted tone, I would look at some of Scott Kelby's books. He has three volumes to The Digital Photography Book. A lot of material is repeated in the books but even as an advanced amateur the books were interesting and I learned a few tricks that I hadn't...

You can't make them enjoy it. Either they will find they have a passion for it or they won't. You could talk to someone about having a show one evening. Maybe on a teacher/parent night. Let the students make and prepare a photo for an exhibition. You could give out ribbons for first, second and...

Take the polaroid to a photo lab and tell them you need a good quality copy. Save the polaroid for an album or something and cut up the copy. edit-Remember, a polaroid is a one of a kind photograph. You can have one scanned and copied but it will never have the look of a true polaroid.

Actually, everything has a form and a texture. Skin is one of the most sensual and enticing of textures and there is plenty of that in the world. Let your imagination guide you. Why not get out and see what interests you? You can use the first shots to define the overall theme and then follow it.

I have the same feelings about Mac. I think it would be nice to have one if I had money to throw away. But when you can get the same specs in a PC for half the price of a Mac and you are on a budget, its really no contest. I have an HP Pavilion dv6-1260 Artist Edition and I really like it. It...

Well, for lighting you can't beat natural outdoor light or natural light from a window. It is the easiest and cheapest light you can use. To really get some control over natural light you should look into buying two things, especially if you want to shoot portraits. You will want a diffuser to...

First you should consider whether you really want to have clients come to do a photo shoot in your garage. Personally, I wouldn't want to use my garage or do a shoot in someone else's unless the garage itself were an important element of the shoot. You have at your disposal the most beautiful...

I agree with Fiddlerboy. It really doesn't matter which one you get when talking about film cameras. The resolution is in the negative and so the same film in any camera with similar lenses and the same settings will yield pretty much the same image. There is no magic 35mm SLR that is going to...

Perhaps you should look into photojournalism.

Are you using B&W paper? Then it will be B&W no matter what you use for your photograms. And you need to try to get as many tones as possible for a great tonal range. A girl in my class used a clear label from a water bottle and it looked great. Just look around you for things that are...

So I am wondering how it is going. You must have left about 30 minutes ago. Next time you need help with settings you need to ask earlier. It can sometimes take 30 minutes to get an answer here. A book about exposure will help you to figure out how to shoot in different situations.

You could do some micro-photography. If you can't get a microscope/camera combo, then you could either get a macro lens (rent one if you don't have one and can't buy one) or get a reversing ring and reverse your lens to get a micro effect. Here is a link to a tutorial on reversing lenses...

What settings are you using? If you have the camera on manual and have the aperture and shutter speed set to impossible exposures you will just get a black frame. If the camera is on manual try switching to aperture or shutter priority and see if it works. Have you had this problem since you...

Xanthus is right. If you haven't seen any of her wedding shoots, ask to see them. If she has none, then she has no experience shooting weddings and $1000 is too much for someone with no experience. If she has wedding experience and you like her work, don't guess about what is included. You need...
