Wonders of light(ing:-)
Last night I got another opportunity to shoot middle school band concert. Large modern gym hall provided enough light to see the players, but all my prior attempts to shoot similar events there (with Sony 828) never brought any spectacular results. This time I decided not to take any chances. Not only I was using my 20D… -
Tough wedding (2nd wedding share) lots of images
Beautiful bride, handsome groom. No time for pictures and it was really dark. This was an outdoor wedding on the water but the sun doesn't set slowly. I think the other photographer and I had about 3 mins for bride/groom pictures after the ceremony. We had about 10 minutes for her entire family and her bridesmaid. Remember… -
Re: Museum of Sex pics - yes or no?
First, to the OP, sadly this seems to be a violation. If I were a parent, I'd classify that as pornographic, therefore in violation of the TOS as they stand right now. HOWEVER.... *begin long post, feel free to tune out if not interested* Warning: EXTREMELY NSFW http://stevelutzphoto.smugmug.com/photos/10539379_N7TgZ-S.jpg… -
Re: Mini challenge # 345: "Your best photo of the last 12 month"
Hmmm....we took two wonderful trips this year that gave me the opportunity to take some pictures that I am proud of enough to say they are best of the year. First trip was a sort of family get-together in Gatlinburg, TN. The other was a bucket list first-time trip to Maine in October to see the fabulous fall colors of New… -
Re: Inexpensive Canon film body for long exposures
If you are doing super long film exposures, do you necessarily need a canon body? More and more, if I decide to go through the extra effort of using film, I find 35mm a bit unsatisfying. You can pick up some quality medium format gear for a nice price. My personal experience is with Pentacons and Flexarets. I currently use… -
Re: SmugMug dealbreaker
I'd like to throw in my 3 cents. I think this is just bad user experience for larger galleries. Being a pro wedding shooter and the director of UX for a major news website, I think its important for very large galleries that you allow subcategories. I have experienced and watched users of both my photography galleries and… -
Re: online proofing
I've used SmugMug for (almost) seven years and have loved it very much. However, in the sake of FULLLY educating everyone here on their options, I will say: SmugMug may be right for some, but not right for others. It mainly depends on how involved you want to be in the proofing / print sales process, and which products… -
Re: Building your own computer
I have built several computers for friends and family. Let me say up front that if you are building a system to save money, you won't. The Dell's and HP's at lower price points are inexpensive because they are subsidized by all the "trailware" (most call it crapware) that is loaded on the machines. But if you are building… -
Re: Video Editing Discussion
Sony Vegas Platinum? I just bought a Sony HDR-SR12 HD camera which produces .m2ts files in AVCHD format. I'm looking for something that can natively edit those files (on Windows Vista) and can produce a good HD format that Smugmug can read (Smugmug won't take the .m2ts files out of the camera both because it doesn't handle… -
