A buddy of mines Father has around 30 Classic V.W. Bugs and might drag out a few of them for me to do a photo session and practice Magazine style shots with. I was thinking about putting them as RM but who would the Property Release have to be signed by to be a legal P.R.?

Is it V.W. since it is their model or is it the Car owner since they restored and painted?

For reference, I am in the U.S.A.

I know where to get some big bucks if I knew how to TIG right now on aluminum. Got the word on it already. This course covers it all and throws in Gasline and Pipeline welding.

I would actually like a Photog Buddy's job. He is an Engineer. Not behind a drafting table or computer. He drives trains for a Major Company. Plus he is a few years younger than me. That would be the job there.

Thanks everyone. This ought to be a fun course. I get to do Manly things like make fire and shape metal. (cue tool time Tim Allen grunts)

Been a while since I posted on this subject.

All the monies have been paid up and I go in 2 day to get my books ($530 for 4 of them). Just drove over today to handle some small stuff like parking pass and I.D. I go to school for my first day on Monday the 27th.

Maybe I should have my mom give me a wake up call on that day. I bet she would like to hear the old phrase again... "Oh mom. Let me go back to sleep. But I don't wanna go to school today."  

Apparently Sony is rumored to be working on a Full Frame Nex.

Considering that I only see crop sensors on any of their cameras  (that currently are on B&H), are they going to have a different mount (meaning new lenses to make) or will the A Mounts work on these with the larger sensor?

I'll take a stab in the dark.

She also said they are Washington Capitol images that were rejected. She also said she has 77 images from Washington DC (Capitol Images) already. If you pop into her Portfolio, I see a bunch of similar type shots and that leaves me to wonder if they were just more similars to already approved shots. Theres only so many ways to shoot the Capitol Building or the Washington Monument.

Sarah, I am going to upgrade in probably November and I am going for the A57. Got my eye on a couple of f/2.8 lenses so I need to decided which one will be coming with the camera and which one will come later. The speed of fps with the shoot thru mirror is very intriguing. The only thing I see weak on it is the Flash Sync at 1 / 160 but if I add in a Sony Speedlight (more money to spend..lol), I think there is some type of Hi Speed Sync setting.  Or if I just go with the speedlight system I got now, I can get mount adapters for the camera body. Also I hear some of the settings can be a pain to change on this model with the buttons and menu layouts. Example video I have seen from one in a review looks very nice but I am not much of a video guy. You can also use older Konika and Minolta glass I think.

What you get for the price, it seems like it will be a good fit for me and my budget.

Just saw it. Different so got to get used to it. What do you think of the Contributor page facelift? Is the navigation easier now to you?

Just guessing but maybe shoot through umbrellas just to throw the light around the area and the softboxes of some sort on your models.

As he rides off into the sunset, kind of like a old hippie.

Just clicked on a random image's "buy" link. No Watermark (actually a term of having the store... no watermark) on a nice sized file.... and then read what I see in the top right....lol.

Site looks nice but I think I am going to pass.

Thanks. I just sent Shutterstock a email and will see what they do. I guess I have been around long enough to really start checking up on my images now...lol. Maybe this weekend, me and google image search are going to get to know each other really well.
