Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens
The new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is a professional telephoto zoom lens with high contrast and high resolving power. It is constructed using the finest optics including four UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) glass elements designed to correct chromatic aberrations, resulting in extremely sharp images with excellent color rendition. Powered by Canon's exclusive Ultrasonic (USM) motor for autofocusing, the EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM is silent in operation and very quick to focus, even in low-light conditions. The new lens also offers full-time manual focus, making it ideal for many photographic applications including sports, photojournalism, portraits, and landscapes. I will add a bit more - this lens is much more & will give a sharp image.Is a gd invest getting the lens above. -diet

Why are Professional Photographers so expensive?
In this digital age where everyone has digital cameras, scanners and home “photo printers”, when people upload their photos to a local drug store website and pick them up a few hours later, we hear this all the time - How in the world do Professional Photographers charge $55 for an 8×10 when they cost just $1.50 at the drug store?
Here’s why.
Simply put, you’re not just paying for the actual photograph, you’re paying for time and expertise. First, let’s look at the actual time involved. If you don’t read this entire page, at least read this first part.
For a two hour portrait session:
- one hour of travel to and from the session- two hours of shooting- 30 minutes of setup, preparation, talking to the client etc.- 30 minutes to load the photos onto a computer (2 - 4 Gb of data)- 30 minutes to back up the files on an external drive- 3 - 4 hours of Photoshop time including cropping, contrast, color, sharpening, saving a copy for print and a copy for the internet and backing up the edited photographs- 2 - 3 hours to talk to the client, answer questions, receive their order and payment, order their prints, receive and verify prints, package prints, schedule shipment and drop package off at Fed Ex.- For local customers, we also print a set of all of their photos, and meet them at our studio to review the photos and place their order. Meeting and travel time averages 2 hours.
You can see how one two hour session easily turns into more than ten hours of work from start to finish. So when you see a Photographer charging a $200 session fee for a two hour photo shoot, you are not paying them $100 / hour.
For an eight hour wedding:
- I won’t bore you with the details, but an eight hour wedding typically amounts to at least two to three full 40 hour work weeks worth of time. Again, if they are charging you $4,000 for an eight hour wedding, you are not paying them $500 / hour.
Now for the expertise.
Shooting professional photography is a skill, acquired through years of experience. Even though a quality camera now costs under $2,000 taking professional portraits involves much more than a nice camera.
Most Professional Photographers take years to go from buying their first decent camera to making money with their photography. In addition to learning how to use the camera itself, there is a mountain of other equipment involved, as well as numerous software programs used to edit and print photographs, run a website etc.
And let’s not forget that you actually have to have people skills, be able to communicate, make people comfortable in front of the camera - and posing people to make them look their best in a photograph is a skill all by itself.
Think of it this way - the next time you pay $X to get your hair done, a pair of scissors only costs $1.50. But you gladly pay a lot more to hire a Professional.
What about the cheap studios at the mall?
Please don’t compare us to the chain store studios. But if you must, consider all of the time and work that we put into our photographs, compared to what they do. Good luck getting a two hour photo shoot at a chain store. Not to mention they won’t come to the beach! And of course, look at our work compared to theirs. You get what you pay for.
The truth is, most of the mall and chain store studios lose money. In fact, in 2007 Wal-Mart closed 500 of their portrait studios because of the financial drain they were putting on the company. What the chain stores bet on is that you’ll come in for some quick and cheap photos, and while you’re there, you’ll also spend $200 on other things. They don’t have to make money, they are just there to get you in the door.
Conclusion
We hope that those who have taken the time to read this page will have a better understanding of why professional photographs cost so much more than the ones that you get from your local drug store.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Diana F+
Diana F+ (more true tales & short stories)Welome to the LOMOGRAPHY WORLD!..............................
Today is the day being walking alone outside somewhere in the middle of the roadside hahaha.I just walk where i confortable with but again then my mind so called brain is like FLASH BACK why not you get yourself a LOMO cam.Why not!..............................................
I make a quick ENTER @the shop thats sells lots of LOMO model.When i in the shop it seems like no one welcome me is like where the HELL that everyone gone to ??????.........................Finally a preety sweet lady came up to me and hey i thought no one here and she stood smiling.
With her kind help and more detail what are the lomo can do, preety much i say YES why not seens i die die waiting to get for a list one year.
So i get myself a Diana F+ and is super as is a square format photo. This lomo camera dosnt matter the age and it can start at the age as low as 5yrs old kid till 100 years old.Is based on individual ISO what the photographed intend to use for the shots like iso 100 to iso 400.
Maybe the photographer like their film taken to be Black & WHite OR colour is more contrast but is more then contrast...........................
I have taken a few shots but when i done with it till doing a process but better still just burn to the dvd then developed it unless you went to do some showcase or put some on the wall.Stay tune for my lovely DIANA F+
