Please continue to tell all your friends, too. I'm not allowed to comment on the Amazon book page, but I wanted you to know that I appreciate your review. Thanks for reading!<br /><br />John Agostino, Author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339561562018185341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-622654438327839031.post-3071838199180343202013-07-24T09:40:27.244-07:002013-07-24T09:40:27.244-07:00Steve, Thank you.

I tried working them every which way, and ended up converting them to black and white (Never heard of that save before huh? lol). I read this blog post and immediately thought of this set of shots I took. I set curves to your specs and Voila! (clapping). Thank you so much for saving my snaps, and possibly some future shots as well.<br /><br />BTW it's nice to read a post/article that isn't all RAW to the extreme. I shoot RAW +jpg, and rarely work with RAW (unless I know I'll be playing or converting to black and white). I'm more of a get it right in camera kind of gal. You wouldn't believe the slack I have gotten for this because I sell some finished work from time to time. I can't convince nay sayers that my unworked/minimally worked jpgs print just as well, and just as large as worked RAWs. I wouldn't sell a piece if it wasn't able to print very large and still hold up to my standards. But yet I get scoffed at for it. People are RAW crazy out there. It's nice to have my way of thinking reinforced.Melindahttp://www.redbubble.com/people/onegoodeye/portfolionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-622654438327839031.post-68641188500823717722012-05-19T19:22:16.373-07:002012-05-19T19:22:16.373-07:00HI there!!
I was reading this post as I somehow c...HI there!!<br /><br />I was reading this post as I somehow came across your site ( as I am trying to put together my first lighting kit (at 52), trying to make a PART-TIME living at photography.<br /><br />I would say your analyses of the situation makes total sense. Personally, even though I have 4 small rental houses, 3 boats that I clean, plus income from 4 or 5 gigs playing smooth jazz as a solo act each month, I will NEVER undercut what a true 'pro' should be making. <br /><br />I have thoroughly researched this area for pricing, and I think I have it down fairly well. I am also fully aware (also as a 20-year freelance trombonist in Canada)what you are saying about copyright.<br /><br />Yes, everyone-and-his-dog wants to be a photographer (just like years ago when all the digital music libraries --Vienaa symphony as an ex.)came on the scene... now EVERYONE is a composer!! What a lot of baloney. You STILL have to know how to compose, how to 'talk' the musical language with people, still have to have the drive and passion and a little personality-to-boot... Sure, it might be a bit EASIER to produce a broadcast-ready music piece from the comfort of your own home without the need to hire out a studio and deal with drunken studio musicians, etc. but the meat-and-potatoes have to be there... believe me, there is a lot of really bad music out there.. just take a listen to some of the music libraries that buy this stuff.... I do digress, but I have had a darkroom since I was 14 and have had a passion for this for a long time. If only someone had told me i possible COULD make a living from this 30 years ago.... or at least a partial one.. i would have taken up the challenge. however, music has been the big involvement for a long time. Now I am diversifying!. Photography is a largely enjoyable pursuit for me, and I think now is the right time to make some money at it, while keeping it ultimately fun for me!<br /><br />If I may ask, why the semi-cryptic comment on your site saying you are no longer taking work? <br /><br />Hope all is well...<br />Keep up the posts. I find it interesting that you wrote this tonight!! Most blogs I see are years old!!<br /><br />RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
