Where to Find Used Equipment Does anyone have used equipment to sell or where to find some used equipment? Like background or props? Any ideas on this subject? Thanks for your help.

Thank you, Charlie, for the help! The town that I live in doesn't have a portrait studio. There are two couples in town who do it part time after their main jobs. I've been doing photography since high school on and off. I've done a few weddings and horse show pictures. I hurt my back at the job I was at, so I've enrolled in NYIP and am going to get my degree in the field. I sure could use all the ideas you could give me. I have five SLR and two digitals<. I would like to do weddings and family portraits and try to get into sporting events to shoot. So hope this helps a little. If you're ever in South Dakota, give me a call and we'll get together! Thanks again for the help!

Tim, No competition in town is a good thing, so you have an opportunity to come in making a big splash. I have heard from several people about NYIP and gotten very mixed responses. But I will not make a judgment since I have not seen the course. I don't know if you are in a position to travel to workshops, but the hands-on approach may be a good way to go, in addition to home study. There is a guy in town where I live who is one of the top wedding guys on the West Coast, and he teaches workshops on digital weddings. I have not met him so this is not an endorsement, but his Web site is www.kubotaworkshops.com. There are so many places to get the experience you need in a short time. Take a look at my Lighting for Commericial Photography course here at BP for a well-rounded lighting course: Vik Orenstein's Studio Portrait Lighting class on lighting would be good as well: And there is so much used equipment out there that would help you get started. Save the big bucks for advertising.

I second the plug for ebay. I have bought equipment at great prices and have acquired a collection of lenses that I just couldn't have afforded at new prices. Jean
