Remarkably niche. I never considered such a job exists. :D

I was kind of hoping for more discussion, but it seem my thread about exposure compensation is more popular. :/ Is this topic in the wrong place? : S

Hello all. This is gonna be a bit different today. I've been noticing a lot of pictures with a sort of dreamy desaturated look to them, and I'm really keen to try it myself. Does this style have a term for it? Or a movement named after it, I don't know. I don't know anything, that's why I'm...

Never. :nono: You should be proud of our ice-cream coloured transport (raspberry ripple no less). But if by crap you expensive, and by expensive you mean crap, then yes. :p

Looks like I'm gonna have to get myself a bus pass to check all these places out. :D

OK. I get it mostly, and see that EV changes whatever it wants to depending on the mode selected. But I'm still confused. In "full manual mode" :D, where one can alter the EV (and I have both a Canon and Nikon DSLRs :S), what is being altered/shifted: the shutter, aperture, or iso? or is it any...

I've just moved back to Stoke myself. Quite a transition considering I lived in front of the sea for lived by the sea for three years at uni. Over here the closest ocean view is...blackpool. :S It's different. It's definitely different. Stoke is a bit ugly, it has to be said, but that's where...

I hate to ask such a silly question, but I am slightly confused. :p I've figured out the basics of shutter, aperture and iso in terms of halfing or doubling the light in terms of stops. :) So, what exactly does exposure compensation do? Is this yet another means to change your...

Well, yes...but that applies to everything, really. From acrobatics to mathematics. Saying that art is a thing that either you have or you don't is utter rubbish - and a depressingly dismissive assertion. If anything, I argue it is merely harder for us as a species to understand ourselves and...

Excellent. I just acquired the 60D for the same purposes, and you realy do need some kind of stabalisation. A steadicam would make things a lot easier! :D Especially within the HDSLR indie community. Unless you acquire a video camera designed for purpose like the Canon EX-3, which has enough...

Were you paid for this?

20 people isn't a lot. I'd have them all dive into one giant ball - make a big pile mess. If it's a nice silly photo that is. ;) Are the vans important? :/ that complicates things a bit...

Erm...being more constructive...:lol: Make sure he tries to get as close as possible, and if he's not pressed time - experiment with positions and poses. (If the team-spirit consensus agrees :)) A wide angle will certainly help -if- he has one. However, I'd try both the ultra wide and the...

I wish could teleport.

I think the general consensus is that the photographer just needs to be cautious, is all. :) It's really down to the photographer in the end...It's him or her who has to really evaluate whether the opportunity is, quite frankly, worth it.
