Figuring out

I am working on the photo's of my first shoot. OK I have done other shoots, but this one has more of a serious taste to it. And questions arise. How many photo's do you give them? I have taken.... do I dare say..... like hundreds. And do I really need to do this editing part? It's not really my thing. Some look good as they are and of course there are some that do need editing. I am hoping you all can help me out here.

1. How many photo's do you provide on a disc? What's your average? What's your minimum? What's your maximum?

2. Does every photo go out edited? What's your stand on it?

3. Do you limit yourself to how many photo's you take to take control of the post shoot process?

4. How many poses/different settings do you aim for?

Going Macro

So I have this beautiful Macro lens that I really need to play with more. Tuesday during a shoot I had a change to hang out in the yard while my colleagues took care of the shoot for a bit. It was wonderful and exciting. There are a few shots I love! Though when at home looking at the photo's I see how I need to take much more time while taking photo's. It doesn't work as well while done very quickly during a film shoot. But it suits my personality..... I am not very patient and I find that this does not go well with photography. I find that having a very laid-back and calm personality is really helpful in this line of business. Another thing I find challenging is to get the focus I want, maybe a time issue too, but I am having a hard time looking through the lens and getting the focus right, something I discovered once at home. So all in all, I had a great time, and I learned a lot.

Start of with my fav

And some interesting shots, playing with the focus. I knew where I wanted it.

And look at last night's brownies

Again, my Macro

Germany

I try to be wise about the Sabbath. And a walk in nature is part of that. I decided to have my nature moment in Germany today. Ok ok, Germany is not that far from me, a simple 10 minutes. You know what is strange..... crossing the border you really can tell you are in a different country. Here are some things I noticed.

My fav, and yes, used my super new Macro!
