Well, to a certain extent IMO.

Was doing DI over last weekend for instant photo studio shoot. I mean we (with my friends) are doing a goodwill gestures to provide such service for a mere $2 per photo.

Some customers are just being unreasonable. For $2, we are doing retouching + the equipment we used are professional standard (Bowens, 1D MK III, L Lenses). They want their picture to look so perfect. Haiz. Singaporeans at their ugly side.

alamak... when u start charging ppl, u are expected to deliver and also subjected to compliments and complains. just make them happy, or sweet talk them.

Well, we deliver what we supposed to deliver already. Just that they are being picky and they also saw how long our orders are and kept rushing. How do we keep up the standard for every single customer if every one ask for top notch retouching?

I think I dunnit to sleep already. It's supposed to be a shoot + 2-min retouching service. I end up retouching for more than 5 mins until I cannot take it and regretfully, some of the works are really not pleasing to my eyes but I am left with no choice because everyone wants fast but quality stuff. :sweat:

tats how the world works. even if u charge $0.50 there'll still be some who demands this and that. but as time goes by, u'll get faster and know hw to deal with them.

For faster touching, what about considering ACDSee Photo Manager?

i was proposed to do something like what u did.
after some hard thinking, i found that it is actually not worth the effort.
u need many workstation, printers, papers, runners, massive coordination works etc..

Haha! The event is over. Lesson learnt and there won't be a next time I supposed. Too time consuming.

But out of the event, I became faster in my workflow. ;p

Yes. Logistics is crazy.

And need to calibrate monitor screens to printer profile. So many things need to consider. Very labour intensive.

Guy's i would be going to my school Camp on Thursday to do some candid shooting. I thought of not bringing all my lenses.


Would the 50mm be sufficient enough? Or should i take the kit lens instead?

Have to see if you can handle with just one lens.
