Build up a portrait studio, the estimate budget..?

twL — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 21:10:28 +0800

hi,
currently i am working in a commercial studio,
i would have interesting to build up a wedding/portrait studio in the near future,
but i do not have any idea on the budget of studio lights and backdrop.

for the portrait shots,
i think i need 2 honey comb lights(500w is enough) and at least one big soft box to be the main light,
and another smaller soft box to fill up,
may i know if i wish to buy china brand studio light,
how much is it?

and another question is backdrop.
how much to get a mono color backdrop like white and black color?
is it very expensive to buy a backdrop with 3D scene?
the 'motor' to hold the backdrop,
is it very expensive?
how much is it?

i would like to know,
is it can get it by the budget around RM5k?
is it possible to cover all include of maybe at least 1 month expenses for the studio and my salary by around RM10k?
i cant make sure i can get a lot of customers on the 1st month,
i think i need to have a money to cover rental fee, electrical fees, my salary, etc.

i hope to get some opinion/suggestion for the photographer who has own his/her own portrait studio,
i am very appreciate with it,
thank you.

twL — Sun, 17 May 2009 17:59:30 +0800

i've got my Samsung lcd yesterday, after i watch it, i realized that the color setting is not as well, is it any setting to set up my lcd tv, so i can see the picture more share/better? now im using composite cable(samsung la32b460 doesnt support s-video input), is it because of the cable, not my lcd setting? hope to get some setting information here, thanks.

S-Video cable recommend+HDMI DVD player?

twL — Sat, 09 May 2009 21:50:38 +0800

next week, LCD TV will send to my house, as my experience i watch at my uncle's house, even he is using 42" plasma tv, the astro quality still not stable/quite blur, so i hope to buy a s-video cable to get a better quality, and the guy there intro me to buy Monster s-video cable worth RM210. i try to survey on some website, it told me that for astro, it doesnt difference between RM20-30 price range of s-video cable with monster s-video cable, is it true? the 'yellow, red, white' cable will connect to dvd recorder.

and another question, if i only watch normal dvd, normal dvd player and hdmi player will it has any big difference? is it hdmi dvd player only add on HDMI support but all others function(supported disc) are still same?

i scared i will waste too much money on buying valueless items, hope to get ur recommend here, thanks a lot!

Streamyx Combo or Streamyx Home prepaid?

twL — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 00:25:37 +0800

now my phone line is registered under my father's name, and Streamyx account is under my name. i would like to get some suggestion from u, is it better i subscribe to Streamyx Combo 1mbps(RM110) or Streamyx Home prepaid(RM106)? what is the call rate for home prepaid(local call)? how about the validity for the reload coupon? i cant get any information about this on streamyx or tm website, i hope any home prepaid user from lowyat.net can provide me some information.

i think it's very inconvenience if i directly 'upgrade'(or downgrade) to Combo package, rite? or it's better if i terminated my Streamyx account and apply for new Streamyx package with RM77 for 1mbps, and change my house home line package with rental fee?(current package of TM homeline is merdeka plan RM88).

hopes somebody from here can help me, thanks.
