aww you've done some lovely pictures, i've seen your stuff before

Absolutely!
I don't think we've ever charged a tog to come into one of our events but yup you're right, some have tried to charge us.
One photographer/performer even used Edd's picture on his own promo pretending to be Edd!! Then denied it was Edd even though the event banner was clearly in the background...gah!
Also to consider if shooting a physical performer, like circus or fire, the effect flash may have on their focus and safety. I never mind now, but when I first started to perform trapeze I used to find it difficult if there were bulbs going

How do you like to be treated by photographers?
I like a guy with a long lenze,
Must have the right equipment and know how to use it.
Something that fits in the palm of your hand is fine but-
a tri pod is even better.
Someone who takes it slow but knows just how to manipulate the female form to it's optimum performance.
A guy who isn't afraid to shoot his load ed camera and spend the film.

That's interesting what you say about a flash as I do use one. I have asked a few time if people find it annoying / distracting. I use a strange type of diffuser that allows me to point the flash away from the performer, but kick some light forward and I am hoping this is less stunning. But after your comments I will have to ask around to see what people think.
Thanks ameliesoleil.

not a lot you can do without the flash unless you can afford a ridiculously fast lens  |

Very true, I am trying to save up for a Canon 70-200 mm which is f2.8 across the range and image stabilised. They are going for around £1250 at the minute so I might get their some time after the summer.

I think Heather's given the best answer so far !
How do I like to be treated by a photographer - rough!
Whip me and tease me ...

argh i just wrote a big post but it was deleted... okay main points:
shame about expense of lenses. miss rain doesn't normally use flash at live events - sometimes one of those weird inflatable things but the below pic was taken without a flash (i think)
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/i...umID=1325502&imageID=16804822
i was going through some footage of a show recently. there is a photographer who always attends this event and has never introduced himself nor have i ever seen the pictures... but looking at the video i noticed first he stands and obstructs the audience...umm i'm paid to entertain audience not get him pictures... and then a moment later i was mortified to see he actually walks over the back of the stage BEHIND me during my act!! I literally could touch him...
He crouchs down, then stands at the back checking his pictures & fiddling then walks around the stage to the other side and crouches to take more pictures. Obviously i didn't see this because i was facing the audience but next time i see him....grrrrr... he'll be getting a mouthful!
i'm certainly not touchy about getting photographed but seriously i'd never walk across someones stage - probably even if there was a fire haha!

Interesting to hear about people moving around during performances. I usually just plonk myself down in a corner, but I will certainly avoid the temptation to shift around too much from now on.
PS love Miss Rain's work, that is one extremely talented photographer.

*falls over in a heap*
i think the chances of me ever affording such a lens are very very small indeed |

yeah, maybe for me too. If I can get it together I am going to try and get an f1.8 lens, I have never used and suspect it will be great for depth of field. No idea what that kind of lens is like for live stuff.

sell your soul, you might just be able to afford it 
a 1.8 zoom lens would be bloody wonderful on the DOF and it would be extremely fast-i still dont know if it would be enough at a live show as they do tend to be quite dark, and the more you zoom in, the less light gets in anyway. i wish i could test-drive one just to see what it was like
i had a very well known photographer do a shoot with my daughter a few months ago and he had a wonderful 1.2 zoom lens (although i cant remember the size), absolutely stunning, and it performed very well in the dark barn we were doing the shoot in. another L.A. celebrity photographer i know recommended me the same lens, although i dont think either of us is on anywhere near the same wage that those two make picking their noses, let alone taking photographs lol! |

omg f1.2, can't even imagine what that would look like. If I had that and a full frame sensor I would give up the day job and just take pictures of anything and everything all day long. Thanks for the info, I love talking photo tech!

A question...What are the rules if someone takes your photo without your permission and/or tries to use it? Are you covered legally if they haven't got a signed model release form?
