[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 617809, member: 13556"] Ok! For your future endeavors, you absolutely need spare batteries and spare SD cards. If you don't already have them, you should put those on your shopping lists. You lenses are nice ones, and you can do a lot with those. As you work, you'll get an idea of what your future needs will be. If not done so already, go over your equipment inventory with the pro you're second shooting. That will help them with assigning shooting day tasks to you. I also recommend looking into joining PPA. If you have a business license, you can join. If not, ask a local pro if you can help and get an associate membership through them. Lots of benefits when the paid gigs get real and frequent, along with their real liabilities. PPA also offers great education opportunities, as well, which may help you to further reach out from your comfort zone. I recommend that you also look into the "Picture Perfect ..." books by Roberto Valenzuela, here on Amazon for reference: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_2_11?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=roberto+valenzuela&sprefix=roberto+val%2Caps%2C154&crid=GKK1MN7HVGJK[/URL] Since you mentioned Philadelphia, I'll also mention Cliff Mautner, a Nikon Ambassador from Philadelphia: [URL]http://www.cmphotography.com[/URL] Look into his videos on youtube.com as well. One of the members in my local guild went to his bootcamp, and said it was the best investment in Wedding Photography & Lighting she ever made.

Sorry to ramble on so long, as you likely already know most of what I've talked about. And mind you, this is just to help you get comfortable outside your comfort zone and to take your practice to the next level, which is likely to be a fairly high one: the shots on your site make me think that you've got a very good eye and talent to go far.
