| How far would you go to get that "perfect" shot?I sat completely still for almost three hours to get this following outdoor shot...http://randombucknellian.deviantart.com/art/Sunny-With-a-Chance-of-Frogs-64092539Do you think it was worth it? How long is too long to wait?I'm just kind of wondering if I should pursue my interest in photography and start selling my work or not. If I have a lot of nice shots of the quality of this one, would I have a prospective clientele? Thanks! |

| most photographers wait very long, if you dont have the patience to wait long and do all kinds of different shots then dont get into photography. |

| The best wildlife photographer I ever saw had the same kind of patience and determination as you - but a little more photographic knowledge / technique and an in depth knowledge of animal behaviour (enabling him to pretty much always be in the right place at the right time).Ideally I think you need to focus on the frogs eyes so get down to it's level - perhaps using a tripod. A zoom macro lens could also be useful and you need to get the sun behind you to light up those eyes.Keep it up - you get 10 points from me for dedication and determination, and those will get you a long, long way!Try this website for some free technical tips:image-nut. com |

| Photography is sometimes about When you take a picture rather than What the subject is. In Landscape you often have to wait for the Light to be perfect.I've waited months to get the lighting right on certain buildings who's North facing side is only lit during High Summer. (I didn't sit there waiting for it mind you!!) I have waited for hours to get Sunsets and Dawn images though, loads of times. The wife usually takes a book with Her on these jaunts!Chris |

| No, three hours is not too long to wait. No mountain is too tall to climb, and no ocean is too deep if it means getting a great photo. The thing about photography is that while you may have the patience and the equipment, you need to have the skills to back them up. Learn all you can, buy books and read magazines, check out other artists' work and learn all you can from them. It's great to love photography, but it takes dedication and a lot of work to make your way to professional level. |

| I've waited long periods of time, I've went into private property, I've gotten in weird positions. It's always worth it.There is no "too long." You have a long ways to go before you start selling work. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
