New toy A700 CZ18/80

Adrian van Ammers

Has been a while since I posted here. I finally upgraded to DSLR.
Meet Nina, 7 years old. We had a fun shoot. Shot with flash on board.

Very sharp and well exposed flash shots - a lot of detail captured there. Did you sharpen these at all in post processing? Good composition on both as well - filled the frame.

Thanks so much. I sharpen with an action made by Twang which I found some years ago. I still like it. It creates layers which can be easily modified to your taste after sharpening.

Recently I found a nice article about sharpening here http://photoclubalpha.com/2007/12/13/true-detail-vs-fake-sharpness/#more-513

Hey, how are you doing? Ever build your light tent?

I stepped up to a dSLR too. Last year, as a matter of fact. I'm still learning all the ins and outs. I think I'm ready to start saving for a better lens.

Thanks, I'm doing fine. Yes, I made a light tent and then struggled with it for some months. Then I got me two Elinchrom flash lights and softboxes and more stuff. This is like going DSLR, a total new world. :ivar So I even got me a third light now and made some real money with packshots.

I'm fine, thanks. So do you have empty pockets already and yearning for more lenses? The AF of A700 is truly amazing. I'm a happy shooter. I will soon post smoe more grandchildren. You might remember Sophie and Isabel too?
