Wood Family Photography

In a few weeks I am photographing a friend of the family's wedding. I have done other weddings in the past, but this is the only one where I actually know the people personally. It is a small ceremony in their parents' backyard. Any tips on poses or anything else would greatly be appriciated. The backyard is by woods, and they have a brick patio with a small waterfall (man made) and a lot of wildflowers. The ceremony is at 2pm, and the couple is very casual. Hope someone can help.

when i was asked to photograph a wedding, i looked through many wedding pictures on webshots.com
It would be cool if you could come up with something like this

i think those pictures are absolutely gorgeous, if you can, show them to the couple and say this is something you want to achieve.
I didn't manage to take pictures like this because it was raining hard the whole day long on the wedding day.
Usually couples have lots of ideas what pictures they want, and they will direct you in most cases.


good luck!!!

Photography can get you into many jobs. If you think of it...photography is everywhere. Billboards, magazines, advertising etc.

There are several different fields of photography, to name a few; wildlife photography, sports photoraphy, fashion photography, music photography, medical photography, fine art photography. There's loads of opportunities. It's a great way to mix work and hobbies, it's great if you have a true passion for it.

It's good to hear that you are considering going back to college, and I really suggest you do it. Learning photography at college gives you so much more options - as you will get a paper qualification for it. With a good teacher you will be able to develop and interact through your skills, learn new things, improve etc. Going back to college won't get you a job there and then, but if you visit a photography job website (see link below) you can post an advert about yourself and explain that you are interested in maybe even becoming someones assistant.

Going back to college will also give you a good chance to improve and build upon your portfolio. A portfolio is very important and can ultimately get you into better jobs to do with photography, so I reccommend you build a good quality one right away. It will be good to show flexibility amongst the use of cameras, so shoot digital (or DigitalSLR) pictures and SLR pictures to show variation. If you do go back to college they will mostly be using SLR cameras (film), so you will learn the basics like how to focus the camera, how to adjust the aperture, how to load the film, how to develop the film etc etc.

Going back to college will give you that step up into a career, so I say go for it, and good luck :)

My dad's B-day is coming up, and I don't know what to get him. I got this wood burning thing and I burned a duck (we call him ducky, don't ask why) into this block of wood, but it turned out terrible and nothing like the picture I drew as a first draft (so I gave the wood to my little brother to give to him instead), and I don't know what to get him now. I'm thinking of making a little binder filled with a bunch of drawings he likes, and pictures of the family, and maybe a little bit of my photography. But I need one more idea to put in the book/binder thingy. I don't know what else I could do, but I need something a little more creative than a scrapbook of drawings and pictures...
HELP!!!!

If you want to give/get a really good creative gift I would just suggest you get/give a Ribbon Gift Card. It is an e-gift card that gives you or the recipient a chance to pick any gift online and have it ship for free. With this Gift cards there is a wide selection of name-brand gifts to choose from and they are relatively inexpensive.I get them all the time from this page http://tughanze.ordermygift.com/default. aspx This is one of the most unique and elegant gift I have ever seen. Hope this Helps.

My first Jeep for exploring, I don't know how to do a lot of mechanical work. I can change my oil and a tire if needed. I used to own a Honda CRF-230L dual sport and did all my photography and exploring of the woods with that. Now that I'm a mom I want to get the whole family into the act. Would a Jeep Wrangler be pretty close to owning a Dual Sport in terms of off road ability? I'm not looking to do anything crazy, but I do need to navigate tight and often muddy/sandy areas of South Georgia. Also, it would be my only car, so can I run this on I-95 at 70 mph safely? I know my Dual sport tires on my bike got pretty scary over 60 mph. How do the Wranglers handle on the Highway????
I currently drive a VW Beetle and it doesn't handle well above 70mph.

My 2000 4 cyl Wrangler is my second 4WD. First was Geo Tracker. The Wangler takes all the drama out of off roading. It's extremely able.
The thing handles OK on the highway, even at 70+ mph. If you do a lot of interstate driving, get the v-6. Doesn't burn much more gas and has lots more power in the rpm range used on the highway. Off road it doesn't make much difference. My cloth top is "sporty" but noisy. Got 75K miles almost 1/2 on rough or no roads. Just put front brake pads on it this summer. Only maintenance other than scheduled stuff.

What am I missing??
Remember, think skills rather than jobs.

I know you said 2nd language, but I would like to add interpreter for the deaf.
Sales is a skill too. We may not like it, but manipulating a sale is definitely a skill. And so is fund raising, which is a form of sales.
Farming should be broken up into crops and animal husbandry.
Erosion control. This is definitely a skill that can prevent disasters like floods. Sedimentation buildup in streams and ponds is a real problem where erosion isn't considered before disturbing land.
Rug making - by hand as in latch hook, or on a weaving machine.
Acting
Candle making.
Sports - not everyone can leap over a man's head like I saw on the play offs last week.
Teaching - yes it takes skill. Especially the skill of inspiration.
Speaking of inspiration, how about public speaking.
Designing - clothing, gardens, homes, and business (industrial design is quite complicated).
You said CDL, but what about other driving skills - like high speed competition driving (NASCAR) or delivery driving like pizza.
What about medical, dental, and chiropractic skills? I wouldn't want an unskilled person trying to take my blood or fix my teeth. These things aren't just training. Imagine a surgeon with a shaky hand.
Good work.
