Julia by Sami Mckee, on Flickranyone here do event photography? How much do you charge?
I guess it depends on the the people hiring you and your location... but I've been working with a non-profit recently and have done a couple of events, they all ranged from 1.5-3 hours of work and I've been charging them $250 per event.

Honestly, with how infrequent I do this type of work, I charge in a way where it makes it worth my time.
I just did some aerial photography for a realtor I know. I only charged $250 because I thought that was a reasonable amount for my time, getting better at flying and securing an opportunity in the future. It's also not so little that it feels like an annoyance, or that I'm being taken advantage of.
Have you considered cropping this one to 2x1 or 3x1 ish? Skylines in general scream for panoramas, but in this particular picture there is a lot of negative space in the sky that is detracting from the shot. IMO.Went to take pictures of cherry blossoms with a few friends and then went to take a picture of the city skyline again. I was here a few months back

Much like this shot from Pringles. By the way, nice shot.
I usually charge 100-125 dollars an hour. This is going to deter the people that want something free, or expect you to shoot for 4 hours for 50 bucks or something. That's a pretty good hourly rate for a non full time professional photographer. Its also more than my salary calculates out to in an hourly rate.
If you're good at something, never do it for free. It sets an expectation and much like an IT person (also what I do) you then are considered "free" to help them anytime.
Crescendo by Billy York, on FlickrTook some shots of my niece yesterday. Not 100% satisfied with the sharpness around the eyes (mostly due the f2.8 aperture), but boy, this lens just keeps amazing me with it's colors. It's so ridiculously good.

Some graduation photos taken recently. Gotta love high speed sync for flashes in extremely bright sunlight.

Handheld two shot pano from a boat? Yes.
Stitched from within Lightroom, which while this current version has some bugs, its still fantastic I didn't have to go to PhotoShop to stitch them.

Made a mistake and replied in the Q1 thread, just sent a request through flickr for an invite to the group.
Is flickr the best place to host photos?

Just some notes and maybe some of you can help me out. I know I've asked before, but I really need to get a new scanner and would like some suggestions. I don't know if it's the way I'm shooting the film or the way they're scanning it at the camera store, but indoor/darker photos always look weird, foggy and I can't achieve the look I have in my head. And it pains me even more when I see wonderfully shot photos (with color film) that capture great shadows and lighter areas.
Also, I'm beginning to focus more on people, and I have some series I'd like to start, getting more comfortable asking people if I can take their photo.
Anyways, hope you guys enjoy and keep up the great job photo-gaf.

Guys, I am contemplating getting an entirely new kit. Any thoughts on the Sony A6000 as a replacement for a traditional Canon DSLR? The portability factor has me considering going mirrorless.

I don't know about "as a replacement", but I do know that I love my a6000. *shrug*
I use mainly vintage lenses though, dunno what you use and all that, but I've heard the e mount selection isn't TOO great. There's certainly lenses in every category though.
EDIT: My mom has an older EOS Canon, and I don't really like it in comparison. The viewfinder is nice I guess, but I prefer focus peaking and such, and Sony's menus make more sense to me (just because I use it more though).

If your shooting 35mm or large format the Epson V series scanners are good. The last one I knew about is the Epson v750 I think.
If your shooting medium format nothing beats an imacon scanner for the density of medium format.

I have always used a reasonably cheap Epson V500 scanner but use a holder from http://www.betterscanning.com/ for my medium format stuff, and just put my 35mm negs straight on the glass with an anti newton ring glass on top of it. I use the bundled software to scan and just remove dust etc in lightroom.
On a side not I really need to get out with my cameras. Seeing all the great stuff in here is reminding me that I need to keep working harder.
Thanks, sent a request.

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to say there are some amazing photos in this thread. I have recently starting to get back into photography and was possibly looking to upgrade my DSLR. Right now I have a Nikon D60 and have been doing research. I was looking at the Nikon D5500 as a new camera to get. That one seems to be within my budget while to me it looks like an all around camera.
I would like to do more landscape, astrophotography and wildlife photography, but still be able to do portraits and family photos as well. I also have a 18-55mm and 55-200 mm Nikon lens.
I just wanted to get some opinions on a good camera that is a little better than just a starter DLSR.

There are probably people in this thread that can help you, but there's a thread already dedicated to camera equipment. You can find it here: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=144603&page=1
Thanks! I had no idea that gaf had a thread dedicated to that.
Few days ago I realized I've a sad coffee cup.
