Thanks :) They were quite difficult to work with, really didn't seem close (particularly so given it was their wedding day!?) Silhouette shot would have worked well, and something I did think of after I'd left... hindsight is a wonderful thing!

I'm sorry folks, I'd completely forgotten about this post, and TP didn't 'remind' me that there had been so many replies since! I did go ahead with the 'shoot' (if you can call it that!?) and it was a fairly 'different' experience on my part. The fact I didn't hear back from them after giving...

Actually ended up buying from DWI, eGlobal are really popular here in Oz cos of the large markups on official Aussie stock... Id never buy anything of significant value from such sites (I got my body here, from an actual shop). But eGlobal wanted $90 p&p which meant DWI actually worked out...

I can give my thoughts here. I've been 'into' photography for roughly 10 years, I came from 2mp Vivitar, to a 3.2mp Kodak, to an 8mp Casio (which was worse than the Kodak!?), I then stepped up to an Olympus Micro 4/3 (E400), this travelled around Europe, across the States, and to various other...

Thanks for the tips guys. 35mm is on the way along with an SB-700

No, unfortunately not, if it was the A series for that price, it would be on it's way! Haha

I was about to pull the trigger on a 35mm f/1.8G, ($155 from eGlobal, which I thought was a bargain), when I noticed that the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM lens can be had for $243... Any advice on which I should get? Is there $100 worth of value in the Sigma? I also plan on getting an SB-700 flash...

I was on my laptop the other night (Photoshop), when it bluescreened, with an issue regarding the display adapter. Fair enough, it was under load and running a fairly intensive program in the heat. So I rebooted, except the display remained black, no backlight, nothing. Held power button down...

Definitely is spelled as 'defiantly' on the first quote, and personally I'd be tempted to leave your contact details on for longer towards the end. Decent vid showcasing some nice work though

Thanks for all of the responses so far. Phil, I understand that it must be almost laughable from your perspective and I know my kit is not serious enough, nor myself experienced enough, but if this was the case there would no need for the post. I'm not expecting a 'magic bullet', merely better...

OK, now I'm worried... haha. First two responses, both saying to run....aarrrgghh! Thanks both for your opinions, it is valued, but I think I feel more confident in attending and giving it a crack than backing out having offered... I did emphasise at the time that I wasn't a photographer, that...

Hi all. As a complete amateur, I would (usually) never even entertain the thought of taking on an assignment that should well and truly be left to a professional, but hear me out if you will. I work in retail selling consumer electronics. Yesterday I served a couple who were looking to purchase...
