Question: What do you think is a fair asking price for someone to refinish this cart?
http://razzmyass.tripod.com/mysonandispictures/id4.html
Its the wooden one (not the metal EE cart)
I need someone to strip it down and revarnish it, polyurethane maybe and also repaint the metal areas on it. I would provide all materials I just need labor costs.
I am getting bids from people, I just do not have time to do it myself and need it done by january.
Does anyone have any knowledge what a good labor price is for someone to do this so I know?
I appreciate it.
Answer: I was just looking at a meadowbrook for my mare --- it was quite old... well, 15 years old anyway, and the pics of it were awful - it needs all the refinishing you mentioned, a new seat, and an entirely new front and wood finishing because the front has no wood, and has a straight bar from the floor to the top, instead of the nice curve like most meadowbrooks I've seen & like.
My hubby completely redid his mini cart & pony cart - even had to have that one get extensions welded into it to fit the pony.
We are quite "handy", and although we couldn't do that welding ourselves, it only cost us 2 cases of beer, but the wood & refinishing, with sanding and all that wouldn't cost more than $75 in supplies from home depot.
If I was charging someone to redo that meadowbrook that I was looking at, I'd do it for maybe $150, plus the cost of new vinyl to re-wrap the seat....... and that would include re-doing the seat so that it fold up in 2 pieces, instead of just being a single unit....
That sort of stuff, sanding & refinishing, adding wood, and re-vinyling is easy to do. It shouldn't cost an arm & leg.......
They want $500 for that cart, but with all the work it needs, I'm hoping to get the price lower.

Question: My tripod vibrates a lot with my camera.?dont tell me I need a new tripod. I know this almost Tripods are there in the market. My tripod is a lesser known brand, but I have great confidence in their stand. Ive done a comparison coast side with the equivalent Gitzo, and found its performance equal. My tripod is a c297cx Benro ball and the ballhead and tripod b1a are nominal weight of 12 kg. I put my camera on her for the first time. it is very robust, but I noticed a lot of vibration from the tripod. each tilt, shift and swing, while the tripod will shake like a wet dog. Is this normal for a carbon fiber tripod? It is this camera why many users prefer wooden tripods?
Answer: It is not whether a tripod vibrate when you make manual adjustments, but how long the tripod continues to vibrate after you get your moves done. Wood is naturally wetting, carbon fiber has no mass, you can get better results from a camera bag hanging from the "pod. It may be your ball.

Lights Softbox

 PHOTOGRAPHY LIGHTING SOFTBOX PHOTO TENT KIT STUDIO BOX US $50.98
|
Question: PHOTOGRAPHERS: What's the difference between a softbox and an umbrella light?
dont they both do the same thing- which is to add light to your subject that is soft and balanced... is one better thanthe other for outdoor/nighttime shots???
Answer: Soft box has more control then the umbrella. So, if you want soft light in just one area it is better to use the box.
The Soft box takes longer to set up however and is harder to move around from place to place.The umbrella (with out a front cover making it a round soft box) has more spread to the sides. (Yes some do have less and some have more) I used the umbrellas for when I wanted large diffused light that spread out side to side. When a "shoot thu" umbrella is used it really spreads out.
So to answer second part of the question I always just used umbrellas on location where I was setting up and moving around. UNLESS I was lucky and had budgeted in two helpers then the soft box was in the car just in case I wanted less over flow from the lighting.

Question: What softbox would you recommend? (Quick question + links)?I buy my first, and I just need one of them usually work for Portraits indoor and outdoor occasional ones. I'm torn between these two: http://www.amazon.com/LARGE-PHOTO-LIGHT-SOFTBOX-SPEED/dp/B001AV65QQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1289600709&sr=8-2 http://www .amazon.com/DMKFoto-Studio-Softbox-Universal-Speedring/dp/B001AZO366/ref = sr_1_5? ie = UTF8 & qid = 1289600404 & sr = 8-5 In addition to stand I need something to make it work? Such as batteries, cables, etc. Thanks!
Answer: The larger the softbox, the more diffuse the light produced ... Both would be in relation to the general portrait photography in order. These must be placed in a studio light ... or you can flash adapter. generally you lose a stop or two with a softbox, depending on the type and size.
