comment What should I do for lighting a wedding reception in a gym?
One speedlight in bad indoor lighting is unlikely to provide even coverage for a full bridal party.

comment What would be an inexpensive lens for wedding photography?
Everybody has to start somewhere. And for some people, with wedding photography, its the friend who wouldn't have it otherwise. And if that's truly the case - you taking pictures vs them not having any, then its a win-win situation for both of you. This doesn't downplay John's or dpollit's comments - its just the reality of the situation. I strongly, strongly recommend a contract still though. Something that basically says you're doing it as a favor and you're not responsible for the quality, quantity, or critical nature of the images.

comment Why do some lenses cost 10 times as much when the specs are very close?
@mattdm thats the best phrasing I've heard. I'm don't have time now, but I wish somebody would make an answer outlining the actual size difference and thus cost between a 50mm 1.2 and 1.8.

comment Would you try to repair this equipment?
@mattdm Agreed. I was just making sure I wasn't missing something. Repairing a real prosumer level may be worth it whereas a consumer level may not be. I'd pay to repair my D7000 but not my D3100 for example.

comment Slow flash when shooting a D90 and SB 700
Actually, fully charged alkaline battery recharge blazing fast. They just have a much quicker falloff in recharge time than other chemistries.

Ah, I wasn't trying to pick on you. Its just that any DSLR doesn't typically fit in the 'prosumer' category. The T1i is typically entry or consumer level and something like the 60D would be more like 'prosumer'.

comment Fast Lens for D7000
I'm bit confused. You talk about wanting a fast lens and then post that you're looking at something that is clearly not a fast lens.

comment Is there a site for browsing a ton of photographers by location and skillset?
This would surprise me, tbh. As a working (albeit newly) photographer, I wouldn't submit my portfolio to an aggregation site. I lose my 'brand' and image from my website mainly.

The nicest thing about Neocamera? You have pretty direct access to the man behind the data, @Itai .

comment Post-processing workflows for outdoor baby photography
moving the subject further from the background is important too.
