my sisters friend told me they needed a photographer to shoot some pics at an event theyre holding. there will be some dances , talent show , and some more performances. its a cultural gathering type of thing. theyre paying me to be there from 11am to 4pm. 150 bucks.
i told her that ive never done it before , but she said , even if you have a crappy camera(which i dont , XTi FTW) , it doesnt matter , i just want some general pics of the whole event. like 50 pics or so.

i think i should be ok seeing as just the camera itself takes good pics and ive gotten into the whole photography thing lately.


she will give me a list of the events and the times and what she wants pics of.
and i get free food the whole day. lol.


any suggestions on what style to shoot on?tripod or no tripod?should i take my 70-300 lens just incase?

 

tomorrow should be a nice day for shooting. seeing how its during the day time i would say no to a tripod and yes to the 70-300 depending on how far away they want you. if your gonna be right there in their faces a 50mm would do just fine.

 

nice that should be fun! wish i had gigs like that, and no tripod should be fine!

 

Wish I had gigs to. Tired of doin shit for free.

 

Im guessing its outside?

 

+1

Tomorrow is supposed to be a great day. Like this afternoon.
Good luck and have fun.

 

thanks guys. yeah it was pretty fun.

different . because it was an indian gathering. but they had talent shows and dances and free food for the "photographer" haha.

plus i got paid. lol.

i took the tripod and used it for like 4 1/2 hours , out of 5 hours. right when the show ended , my battery died. haha. perfect timing.
she said shell be calling me again for another event theyre holding in like 2 months. w00t lol

PS- believe it or not. there are actually ALOT of hot indian chicks. lol
