Doing my first bridal session, need tips?
I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but would love to become better at it and make it a side job apart from being a sahm!
Anyways, I'm doing my cousins bridal portraits next weekend (2 weeks before the wedding), just would love any tips on shooting the protraits. I have a nikon D3000, 55-200mm and 18-55mm lens. We're taking photos outside at biotanical gardens here in TX. I'm so afraid of sitting her down in her dress.
tips: Iso, settings, etc.

Calling all final cut pro experts. Frame Rate drop/lag when importing movies?
So it sounds simple. I took a movie with my new Nikon D3100 HD camera, imported it to Final Cut Pro, and for some reason it has bad frame rate drop and lag to the point where it almost freezes.
I have no idea how to tackle this… Codecs, movie formats, resolution, who knows?

No Fisheye Effect when zoomed in?
I bought a Fisheye Macro adapter for my Nikon D5000, and unless i'm zoomed out at 18mm, the "ring" and fisheye effect is no longer noticeable above that 18mm.
Should I add another macro filter to see if this changes?
