i was wondering how many of you guys shoot the session with the laptop.
im asking, cause we all here pp our pics a lot so the original pic is maybe not as great as the final. so if you shooting did you use your laptop to preview the pic? what about the clients? did you show the pics to them?
Do you mean do we shoot with the camera tethered to the laptop or do we just bring it to shoots and upload to it after and show them the images right there?

Generally no... I don't want them to see the not-so-hot shots.
yeah thats exactly my dilema, l like working with the laptop. cause i just can see all the miatakes i made and stuff and form there having a super clean raw file
I do shoot tethered for team sports photos, so I can check that no-one was blinking etc.
Apart from that, no....
How do you pull that off though, just have a little stand for your computer? That would make life more simple for us, but I usually just zoom in real quick, or if in doubt, take a few more.
I take my laptop but only to transfer my picture over to at a quiet moment. I still leave the photos on the cards but I have a backup staight away on the computer. I was asked once if they could have a look but it waws kids and they were happy to see that they were in there.

I just use what's available, as I'm generally shooting in halls, or clubrooms for team photos.. A couple of chairs, bar stool... Whatever is available..
I shoot with a single 1600ws strobe into a 40" brolly, tethered to DPP so it shows the shots as I shoot.. I also use a remote camera release. I find it easier once I've framed the shot to be standing beside the camera, so I can take in the whole 'picture' and see if anyones clothes are out of place, socks down, sleves rolled up.. The normal drill.

Oh ok. I, on the other hand, am shooting 20 teams and 250+ kids in 3 hours, on the field. I guess it would be a little too time consuming to pull it off, plus it would be a nuisance to have the parents trying to peak at the laptop and requesting changes and retakes right there.
For some events I've shot tethered to one laptop - RAW + small JPG.
My ass't has a second laptop with a second screen (LCD), we are connected via standard wireless network.
I shoot (custom WB and carefully) and he pulls the small JPGs (faster than RAWs) and puts them on the LCD for the client to prevue and choose.
I only then process the purchase RAW files for final prints.
Sales are bigger as the emotion is higher at the moment.

Ya...
I only shoot tethered for the team shots, on the field would be too hard, unless you had WiFi to a laptop and and assistant on the laptop.
