      You are awesome at sharing to all what is in your camera bags. I'd love to know based on your incredible work ethic and experience: what are your actual camera bags?

      Have you had to change your processing much for the D4 files? I know the D4 is technically the better camera, but there's something about the D3s files that I prefer. Have you found anything similar?

      Ryan, I read your review for the D800 and the D4. I'm looking to have a second body for my weddings which is a fast fps, High ISO and quick AF monster for my work. Would you say the D4 is a much better fit than the D800 considering my requirements?

      Help, RE: Brenizer method. I've fixed every single one of the variables (manual focus, aper., shutt. speed, ISO, white balance) and have overlap of 1/4 - 1/3. Even pushed through DXO. Poor merges via PS and Hugin through all methods. Any suggestions?

      (Dylan Howell) Where do you want to be with your business in five years?

      I'm right where I want to be, anything from here is hopefully evolution instead of revolution.

      Hi Ryan. Some great wedding photographers use just one body and swap out the lenses, changing from 24-70, 70-200 etc as and when needed. I like the idea so i dont have to carry two bodies. Do you do this? I worry about dust mainly.

      Everyone does things differently, but I strongly prefer two bodies most of the day. Moments don't wait for you to change lenses. For just PJ work I could rock a 35 only, but weddings are also about finding beauty, and that makes me want to shoot the tele eye candy whenever it appears.

      I looked through your flickr.2004, your photos were ok.2006 were better.2008 look very good. Now they just look unbelievable amazing. I know you must went through lots of learning. What names of DVD/Book/ people did you learn from to get to your level?

      Well part of it was early on I used Flickr for snapshots at the beginning and put up any old crap. My off-camera lighting was learned first at Strobist and then at advanced classes in ICP, but everything else was learned on the streets, yo. I mean just shooting again and again and again and again and doing it for clients and with deadlines is the best way to improve fast.

      Hey Ryan, how do you feel about watermarks? I felt inspired when I noticed you omit them, however they are showing up on your recent work. A cool cat like you must face image ripoff, yet a startup business like mine needs traffic and attribution to grow.

      I hate when they interfere with the work, so they should be minimal, but yeah, there are so many easy ways for your work to be ripped off these days that it's become a necessary line of defense.

      Hi Ryan, Do you use any kind of light modifier on your speed light during wedding shoot? if yes, what is your favorite?

      Generally a ceiling, or when desperate my hand.

      Hi Ryan! Do you use studio management software for organizing client info, invoices, etc? If so, what do you use? Thanks :)

      Yup, ShootQ. And more importantly an actual studio manager.
