So he offered my "services" to one of his BFF's who is starting a new career as a realtor. I will be taking a headshot for his business cards tomorrow.<br /> HELP!<br /> I have a Canon Rebel XT but am really really really out of touch with how to use it. Any setting suggestions? I want to try shooting outside for better light, but it also might snow tomorrow! :(<br /> Also, my subject is incredibly goofy so getting him to sit still and not crack a joke for two seconds will be interesting!! :silly:<br /> And my assistant for the shoot will be a needy 9 month old! :grin: </p>
