Qatar Living Photography

To all the photographers,

Hi first how is every thing ..

Actually i'm not a professional photographer i'm still in my first steps ..

But one of my friends want to build a photo studio .. so he asked my help to build it for him ..

Actually i don't have that much idea about the equipments used in the studios, brands and prices

as far as i know i need:

- 2 soft box

- colored backgrounds (curtains)

- Spot lights

- reflectors

- SLR Camera

- Tripods

Hello all,

I just wanted to post this in the group.

In many cases I find I have some equipment that Im not using like a smallish CF card or an old camera, that I would be glad to swap for a flash or an old lens.

Does any one else have this problem?

I will try posting on classifieds but not very hopeful as things seems to slide down out of the page very quickly.

Im in the market for a 4GB CF card that is reasonably fast and can talk a swap or otherwise.

I'm happy to at last be able to announce the winner of the recent Qatar Living Robot Zoo Photo Shoot.

The standard of entries was very high, which is why it's taken me 3 weeks to pick a winner ;-)

There were several photos that I thought would have been worthy winners, but the victor was chosen because it was not only a good photo but it also captured the essence of what the Robot Zoo is about; animals, robotics and human interaction.

So I'd like to be the first to congratulate ks1 on their winning photo (click image to see larger version);

ks1 will soon be the proud owner of brand spanking new flickr pro account.

As I said before the standard of entries was very high, so please take the time to check them all out here. Thank you to everyone who entered.

The Robot Zoo is on until the 20th April. See here for more details.

Does anyone know where I can purchase here in Doha a 52mm CPL filter other than in Salam? I need it badly over this weekend because me and my friends will be driving up North and we are planning for a photoshoot as well. Most of the photoshoot would be done outdoors.

Thanks.

Hi, guys! I am new here in Qatar and I've been shooting photos since the day I set foot. I am using an old Pentax K1000 SLR (yes, used with films) and my mom's digicam.

For samples of my own photos, please check my site at http://my.opera.com/...

No Qatar photo uploads have been done yet, though. Will update my albums soon. I actually have tons of other pictures (Manila and other misc stuff) here waiting to be uploaded.

That's about it for now. Thanks! :)

By the way, GREAT photos you have here in the club! Kudos to you all!

Ladies and Gents of the shutter bug persuasion,

Good to see the photo group still going strong however not so good to see the monthly comp having passed by the wayside!!!

My first passion (other than the wife and trusty chewy dogs) is still photography and can relate to the majority of posts going on the photo group (specifically the GAS.....cant wait for christmas day as I know how many new items Im about to get).

I have been very active in the photography field in my absence, a website was very nearly created with a web design company here in country however it failed at the last hurdle.
I am currently involved in setting up a stocks and prints website so I shall be requiring talent from all photog's in Qatar and the region at some point in time.
