Question: Looking for a Great Photo Lab for my custom photo Invites?

I’ve had a small side business that I create custom photo invitations for parties and baby annoucements.

Lately, I’ve been concentrating on my “real job” and have not done much with it. I want to find a great Photo Lab in my area or maybe even on-line lab to print my work. I just want to get this ball rolling again.

Any suggestions on Photo labs you have dealt with using your custom work? I will be printing 4 x 6 and some 5×7 photo invites and need a quick turnaround time. Hoping to print using matt Fuji Paper and a lab with competive prices.

I’m in the Sacramento California area.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Answer: I have used www.snapfish.com in the past and had very good results. You may want to give them a try. Good luck.

Answer: I think you may be able to go to the page set and go for a personalized on the computer where you can make your own paper size. But I would go and ask someone in the shop the question before buying this printer. At the end of day the printer to print what is said of the press, could take some time, but you must print.

Question: Fellow photogs: Ever hear of the ‘Strobist’ movement?

I’ve been doing some hot linking from a few of my other photography groups and from flickr and I ran across the ‘Strobist’ group. It sounds pretty cool, at least they think so, but I wanted to get the opinion of other photographers.

What is your thought on off camera flash lighting with small speedlight external flashes, as opposed to big and expensive pro studio lighting?

Has anyone ever heard of the strobist?

My opinion is that so far I have no opinion because I can’t say I’ve given it much thought. I have a need to improve my work with better lighting, but is this strobist ‘thing’ hype, or something that a lot of photographers have been doing all along?

And do we really want to snub our noses at our trusted i-TTL equipped speedlights?

Give me your opinions…

Answer: Strobist techniques are:
A) GREAT for learning about studio lighting without springing for the gear.
B) Wonderful for those situations where full studio lighting wouldn’t be practical
C) Capable of about 90% of what one can do with “true” studio lighting.

Using off-camera flash with manual settings gives one greater flexibility and creative possibility. i-TTL or e-TTL enabled flashes are excellent tools, but they have their own limitations. I certainly use the wireless e-TTL capabilities of my Canon strobes in certain situations, such as weddings where I can have an assistant move through the reception with me and have portable, instant *good* lighting.

I consider the general hierarchy of lighting to be as follows:

1. Ideal natural lighting conditions
2. Studio Lighting (lots of power, control, modifiers)
3. “Strobist Lighting” (similar to above but trade -power and -modifier options for +portability and -cost)
4. Wireless e-TTL (-reliability and -flexibility from above… also the pre-flash “lag” can cause some sensitive people to blink in shot… look up how e-TTL works for explanation. Benefits are +speed +convenience).
5. On camera/bracketed bounce flash (can give great results, but must have good location and again less power, so +convenience but very dependent on the situation).
6. Bracketed direct flash (reliably adequate, but seldom represents “inspiring” lighting… VERY useful for outdoor fill or if none of the above options are available).
7. Direct on-camera flash (I can’t remember the last time I used on-camera direct flash)

Basically, I feel that one should always stay as high on that ladder as conditions and circumstances allow. Maybe I don’t have the time to lug around and set up the studio lights on location for an editorial portrait, but I can use strobist techniques. During a wedding reception, I may forgo the creative possibilities of strobist-techniques because the situation won’t give me time to play around with lighting settings to get them just right… while the quick wireless e-TTL may do *almost* as well.

Strobist is no substitute for studio, but wireless e-TTL is no substitute for being able to creatively, manually manipulate light. All of these techniques have a place in a professional’s toolkit.

Question: Is it a flash Nikon SB-600 or SB-800 Increase speed flash sync with a Nikon D60 from 1/200s?

I read that the flash sync speed is usually up to 1/250s in most cameras. How can I increase the shutter speed, then when using a flash or do you use studio lights etc. for photography fast?

Answer: Nope.
