Hi everybody, this is my first post.
I've been shooting weddings on a part time basis for about ten years using 35mm and medium format. It's been a hobby business, about five to eight weddings per year. I now want to expand and do more weddings as well as set up a portable studio for home portraits, etc. I've just picked up my first pro level digital camera.
So where do I begin. I've been playing with the digital camera and found it fairly easy to adapt to. Where I am totally lost is the digital tech talk about the types of digital formats. I don't know much about RAW, JPEG, TIFF, etc, etc. Where could a find a good primer website to give me the basics on this. I'm also going to pick up PhotoShop CS3 and take a course on it. Any online tutorials for this?
I also wish to get a good printer but am wondering if it is recommended to do my own wedding prints or continue to send to the lab?
Your thoughts and expertise is appreciated.
