35mm Camera Fitted: The technical problems will be minimized if you provide yourself with the proper equipment. The widest market for flower pictures is for 35mm Camera fitted color slides, but that doesn't mean that just any 35mm Camera fitted Camera is the suitable tool for.
For black and white assignments, which are 80 percent of my assignments, a 35mm Camera fitted Camera is just fine, and half your picture could be done with the 35mm Camera fitted or 28mm lens. The addition of a 2%-inch square format Camera is useful because some clients want larger color images from which to reproduce. Contact prints made in this size are easier to look at than 35mm Camera fitted.
You should retain a contact sheet of every roll of black and white you shoot. If you are naturally neat and orderly, your equipment will be spotless and you will be able to retrieve pictures taken years ago as easily as you'd locate pictures taken last week. Look at them and keep trying to improve, trying to change for the better, and above all, try not to keep your talents a secret. I will repeat: The idea is basic to your success as a freelancer.
A freelancer can start a photo business with one 35mm Camera fitted Camera and a 35mm Camera fitted medium wide-angle lens. Later, a normal 50mm lens might be added. Then add a 24mm lens, another Camera body, a small electronic flash, a light tripod, and two reflectors able to take number two photofloods. That's really all the basic equipment a photographer needs, whether he or she is starting to take pictures of babies or of factories. For color you should have a CC 30 Magenta Filter for most fluorescent light situations.
