Photo-Booth Question

[Trever1t]

I need to set up a photobooth. I'm good on the lighting. I need to know, with my gear, how to make it work!

So,

D700
Canon Pixma 9000Pro
Lapop
LR4

anyone have links to the cables I need, techniques or pointers?

You got a decent tripod???

 

[Trever1t]

Yes, I have a Manfrotto

Connect the camera to the computer via USB cable. You might want to get a longer one than the standard/included cable.
From within LR, you can use 'Tethered Capture' which will import the images directly into LR as you take them.
Make a preset for your basic image adjustments and make any presets you need to print the images at whatever sizes/packages you'll need.

Once you get the presets right, it should be pretty quick to take the image, have it import, apply the presets and print.

you could also consider going WIFI from the camera to a WIFI printer. might work.

 

[Trever1t]

No Wifi printer, that'd be too easy eh?

 

[pixmedic1]

if you were closer i would let you borrow ours.

They are so popular at weddings and BD parties right now. Show 6 or 7 advertising last month for a Bridal Convention. It printed out like the ones from years ago...a strip with 3 to 4 photos. Then had the wedding information on it. So, cool. I found the props cheap on ebay. I didn't want to stand in line to get one taken. Good luck!

Vietnamese weddings, almost always want you to snap a photo, step & repeat style with bride and groom at entrance to the restaurant and then give guests their images at the tables during the meal. If you are not familiar with Viet tradition, the dinner is the part of the wedding that people go to. Minimum of 8 courses and a. big fancy affair.
