CustodyIQ asked:

I’ve been increasingly dabbling in macro photography and am not happy with my lighting. I’m looking for the best “budget” solution out there.

All Nikon gear (but the lighting product doesn’t need to be):

I’ve got a DSLR with a 105mm macro lens & 52mm filter size.

I’ve also got a 300mm zoom with a 62mm filter size and a couple close-up diopters.

I’ve also got the SB-600 speedlight.

I may also reverse mount my 50mm lens onto one of the above lenses, as I play around.

For macro photography of nature (e.g., flowers, bugs, leaves)… any suggestions on what “budget” route to take that might offer greatest flexibility with the different approaches I laid out above?

Thanks!

I’m looking for a really good Digital Photography book that covers everything to do with taking good digital photo’s.

In the past I have read other books by John Hedgecoe and Tom Ang. Both have digital books too but I havent seen or read them - I need someone to recommend me a really good, a comprehensive one that covers everything. Great for a beginner etc…

Thanks!

I am a photography student at a community college and I want to start shooting weddings. I can’t seem to find someone willing to give me a shot. I’m not great at photography, but I’m pretty good and the more I check out local wedding photographer’s websites the more confident I become.
I would be willing to start off really cheap, but I need that first break.
Does anyone have ideas about breaking into the wedding photography business?
I am located in the Knoxville Tennessee area.

The primary use would be for nature photographs (beach and redwoods) and the occasional pictures of friends (red eye bad). I want a point-and-shoot for portability and because of money restrictions. I have about $250, but could stretch it too 400 if the camera is significantly worth it. The size/shape of the camera isn’t as important as the quality of the pictures, but I do like the square no bulges of some of these point-and-clicks. I had a canon S500 which I was happy with, but it was stolen. Any suggestions or tips? Should I get a used S500 again from Ebay? Or is there something way better out there for me? I was also looking at new Kodaks? Help?

I absolutely love to take nature photography. I feel like my work is good enough to sell, and I would like to give it a try on ebay. I don’t want anyone to steal my images from there though so I am wondering what the best way is to copyright my material. I’ve seen people put a word over the image so people won’t want to try to take the image off the site to use as their own. Also, If someone does buy one of my pics, how do I copyright the actual photograph?

A couple that are very cool and have been together for 20+ years is finally getting married!!!! At our property!!! It’s exciting!! But they want ME to be the photographer!! I have always loved photography and am really into it, but I am afraid I won’t do a good enough job!! I really don’t know much about wedding photography and I want to give them THE BEST. Any advice????
Thanks for all that advice!!! I like the disposable cameras on all tables idea as an extra [I would still be shooting away myself!!! My motto is “Waste film [or in my case, memory cards] NOT time”.

By the way this will be an evening wedding so what about flash??

I normally do mostly wildlife/nature photography….so this is new to me.
