Greetings.
My wife and I are in the beginning stages of starting our own photography business. We've been shooting Motorsport events, weddings, large social events, and some other kinds of photos. it's been a great ride so far.
We both have the eye. Our work is truly a mutual passion. It's a wonderful experience to share with your wife. I'm the editor, and of course, all photos get final approval from her. We learn new things each time we shoot.
My wife shoots with a 350D right now. however, she has outgrown the camera and we're moving her up to a 20D soon. i'm shooting with a 20D, and i'm doing pretty well with it. i would have to say that the main "issue" i have with it is the focusing speed for some of the Motorsports events we shoot. no i am not complaining, just get a little frustrated at times...
As for lenses, we have a 70-200 2.8IS, a 70-200 4.0, 1.4x TC, Tokina 12-24 4.0, 50mm 1.4, and a 28-135 IS.
i have noticed that many of the people who call themselves photographers are merely people with a digital SLR pointing and shooting. i mean, what is the point of shooting in AV with a 1dMKIIN at a motorsports event if you are not capturing any motion to add to the effect of the shot? We have been truly blessed by meeting a couple of wonderful photographers that we have become friends with. as a result of their knowledge and suggestions, we have made monumental improvements just from their feedback sessions.
time is on our side. it is our sincerest wish to make a living out of this game, and to play well with others, and to capture many happy memories for ourselves and our clients.
looking forward to learning with/from you all.
sincerely,
-joe
