Re: Trying to sell existing images in new ways
Hi Bill, Hope you make a speedy recovery. I know of the mental anguish of being laid up and not being able to work as you want is also a painful and unwelcome compounding of any physical pain. I was thinking of a few things then looked at your site and saw you already do them so not much to suggest i'm afraid. Something… -
Re: Lens for Weddings Question
Amen to what Blurmore said. THE most amazing 85mm lens, ever. You really gotta get a 1-series though to properly focus with it, it's just TONS of glass, and even the 5D etc. AF algorithms are very hit-and-miss. However, the 85 1.8 is VERY practical, and with a faint bump in contrast / sharpening, most viewers will NEVER… -
Re: I need something sharper!
You and me both. I'm going to quote him verbatum so there is no confusion. First thing is going to be his technique then to the settings. And I quote: "Open the photo you want to sharpen using Lab Sharpening. Go to the channels palette and yuou can see that your RGB photo is made up of three channels-a Red, a Green, and a… -
Re: quick release for monopod
Monopod Quick Release... I use a Manfrotto 3421 "Long Lens Support" on my Manfrotto 681 monopod with my two long lenses (300mm f/4L IS and 400mm f/5.6L). The Manfrotto 3421 has its own built in quick release system that looks like an Swiss Arca Mount. In fact, the mounting plate might be compatible with an Arca mounting… -
Re: Feezing dancers in leaps with studio strobe.
I say it is totally doable. from the paul c buff website... Sports Shooting These relationships are particularly important when shooting in sports arenas where the ratio of ambient to flash is considerable and where stopping action is paramount. Here, the power and flash duration of the flash are important. The flash must… -
Re: Eliminating 4x6" prints
As a follow-up to my posts - I was contracted by the same parent to shoot her son's basketball game and to do his senior portraits. About the same amount of time for both. Care to bet which one was more profitable? Also care to bet from which shoot the mother has a large photo hanging on the wall? How is this relevant? If… -
Re: Next Steps - Read On
The Tokina 11-16 is one of the best investments overall in my opinion, as it has just been pointed out in that article I wrote. (Thanks for linking!) Other DX lenses may not work on full-frame so well, but then again the better lenses out there for DX sensors do seem to hold their resale value pretty well. I spent quite a… -
Re: What to Buy?
I guess what's tough about your request is you want a lens that's fast and long (for sports), which is going to be expensive, and you also want something that's fast and reasonably wide for travel photography and weddings (which is also not cheap). You could look at a 24-70 2.8L and a 70-200 2.8L (non-IS); the pair would… -
Re: sigma lens aperture sticking
Sigma Lens Aperture issues This may not help you as it's been years but I found your post while searching for the same problem. In my case it was with both my 24-70 2.8 DG HSM & 12-24 DG HSM. They both worked for a couple years then one by one they began to work only some of the times. When I say work that is that I could… -
Re: photoshop cropping help!!
This has been an issue since the Photoshop cropping tool has existed. The cropping tool was designed to either just crop, or crop and resample. It indeed can upsample or down sample, depending on the selections you make in the height, width, and resolution boxes. Cropping at output dpi is no guarantee that you aren't…
