I feel we've been a bit remiss in not recommending some good books for Lucian, now he's clearly on his way up the professional photography ladder - he'll be into big time commercial stuff soon.... you mark my words! Anyway, here are a few I've spotted, on Amazon, which seem to get good reviews. (Even if Lucian is a bit beyond some of these, they may be of use to others). If anyone actually has any of these books perhaps they could say. We seem to be a bit short of books like these in the EPZ book review section.

Hi Lucian, I've been travelling and only just caught up on the forum. Personally I think the client is building in the problem from day one, only paying £300 per day for two days (and they will be long days) will not attract photographers with the necessary experience to handle the multitude of lighting scenarios and fast moving situations that can get at a major conference, My experience of doing on the day on site web uploads is you have little or no time to correct in post production. If you are in any way uncertain of your ability, either equipment wise or experience wise to deliver a good standard on this I would pass on it. I have to admit that taking the job on then asking what you will need etc etc is all arse about face and could lead you into a very stressful situation. If the client has said they were unhappy with previous photographers ask them in what way, was it a simple case of not being color balanced correctly, was it bad exposure or bad composition? once you know this you have a starting point from which you can decide if YOU could improve on the previous togs output given the same situation of light etc.

"with basic comments like that you'll be doing a TV Series next" and not forgetting the 72 weekly part works where you will be able to build a long range flash gun with the pieces free with each magazine....
