Now, can someone please comment with tips on how to capture candid moments without making people uncomfortable, and therefore ruining a candid moment? Also, what sort of things do you (you being plural, as a generalization for whoever is reading this) say to people to ask them to pose for you?
With all due respect... I think you are asking people to take years, if not decades of repeated failure and learning from mistakes trying to earn a living for themselves... and asking you to simply disclose that information in an Internet post.
Its not going to happen.
Trying to learn from the work of others is commendable... trying to profit off of it is not.
I think people will be far more willing to help you out if you take what you've learned thus far.... apply it, and then come back and ask what you could have done differently. People will be glad to help as long as you demonstrate that you are willing to do the leg work...
How is my asking NOT trying to learn? I am not new to photography, just because I don't have a DSLR. I don't post very many pictures, because I am not comfortable with putting a bunch of pictures of my son on the internet. I don't want to sound conceited, but I am pretty decent at what I do, and I have learned a lot from my own mistakes. This forum was made to share experiences and tips, no?
Also, I didn't say that I didn't like the way flash LOOKS, I just don't like it. I don't want to start a debate, but I believe that it is not good for anyone's eyes, especially babies and young children. Babies and young children happen to be the subjects I photograph the most. I get great pictures without flash. When it comes to object without eyeballs, I do sometimes use flash, in varying degrees, depending on what is needed.
I've searched and seen many other threads with people asking for tips on how to shoot certain things, and they weren't bashed for asking...so again, why is it an issue that I wanted some tips? I'm not asking anyone to tell me in detail how to take photographs, I'm just nervous and was wondering if anyone had any little tips to share. Jeezies.
