    Photography is always a learning experience. I’m sure every one of us can look at raw images from a month, 6 months, a year ago and go MAN I could do SO much better today than I did then. Listening to Trey Ratcliff (stuckincustoms.com) talk on G+ about his failures has been really eye opening to the growth into being a professional.

    “What f-stop were you using?”
    “We were using a tripod.”

    The only plan you need is where to go Tuesday night/Wednesday day. Then just let your surroundings guide your lens…or something like that.

    Yeah the article was mildly interesting based around an awesome picture with so much potential. When I read the comments I couldn’t believe the rudeness in Jesus Diaz’s replies to commenters.

    Yeah it will be tough for me to wait too. I’m usually at least a couple days ahead with ideas.

    Yugoboy I think we discussed this in Photo Triptychs too. I don’t want to get too rulesy but that’s a good guideline. In this case, the determination that interiors were ok was actually made a long time ago just not added to the theme description (my bad for not thinking to speak up until others did).

    That’s good cuz generally people, including babies, aren’t too happy when you poke them in the eye. 😉

    Yep fluffybunny that is a great article. I already have my model and property release forms made up and saved and ready to print for when/if I get actual work.

    I can haz website?

    http://buckwalterphotography.zenfolio.com/

    I like it! Did you find zenfolio easy to use / customize?

    You have inspired me to give this a try when all the craziness of the holidays subsides.

    I tried both WordPress and Zenfolio and they’re pretty similar. There’s some additional options in WP over Z but Z has a built in way to sell prints and photo products in partnership with mpix in the US and other companies worldwide. You do need a business tax ID to set up for profit prints but you can set up base cost prints without one.

    There’s a learning curve to the interface in both WP and Z but Z has a set up tutorial that walks you through it. Creating photo galleries I also found to be easier in Z. The one thing it’s missing from WP is the ability to slurp a blog post from a blog and display it on the site, to keep people interested in what you’re up to. However, since I’m still on my trial account with Z, I know there are additional options that unlock after upgrading the account and that might be one.

    Well, I asked a long time ago whether or not interior shots would be okay since I worked in a retail store and thought I would have some interesting perspectives, and Larry said ok. But if they’re out, fine.
