[imgr][/imgr]Stars Tutorial by coscorrosa. Upper Yosemite Falls and Polaris. The falls were front lit by a full moon. Many landscape photographers concentrate their efforts during sunrise and sunset, the two so-called golden or magic hours, but there is a third magic "hour" that is often neglected: night! With digital… -
Re: slightly out of focus
Jim, i didnt thought of ski-jumping until you mention it but the first two really looks that way=) (kinda ruin my thought about zen-like dreamdiving... =) ) yes i can see how the scratchy treatment might be tiresome after a while, i agree on that. thanks for your time Jim! -- Wil, you really made me smile with the 1:? -… -
Re: Chime in on this discussion/question of which lens
You're on the right track. An active dog is much like sports/action photography and you require both rapid and accurate AF acquisition in order to produce sharp images. This requires both a camera "and" lens which are capable of measuring the speed and vector of the subject as well as predicting where focus will be at the… -
Re: Crows, Ravens?
The simple use of "black bird" will get you off the hook. I hate these birds. They are down here by the millions. They are taking over the area. Reminds me of a Hitchcock movie when I'm out walking to find the "real birds". These are the only birds I'd consider shooting or throwing rocks at. :uhoh They are noisy and… -
Re: sRGB, Photoshop & D70 Nikon Camera
I use Safari my daughter uses IE. After 40 years in the IT industry and after being a very early user of IBM PC architectured PC's and a Mac hater, I switched to Mac when I found printing in color on my Dell so difficult. Its never been a problem with the iMac. Now that I have PSCS2 its even better. Last year I published a… -
Re: Olympus EVOLT E-500
The mid range lenses and up are weather sealed. The consumer lenses (14-45, 40-150, 35 macro, 18-180) are not weather sealed. The people moving up from the kit lenses to the midrange not always feel the sharpness of the lens etc. improves a lot, but they do all praise the feel of the midrange lenses. I have no personal… -
Re: Some Exposure Settings with the Vivitar 285HV
The answer to this question is rather complex. As you say, I already owned a couple EOS strobes and an ST-E2, but there are folks who say they do not work very well out of doors. That has not been my experience generally, but if the flashes are behind the shooter out of doors, then the ST-E2 will frequently fail to… -
Re: Christmas Candids
Thanks for your response and your questions, Ziggy, Virgina, Saurora and others. I think you are seeing what I was pleased with - soft shadows, balanced accurate color, and catchlights as well. I used a 580ex on ETTL with a 6 inch high foam (white card) style diffuser on the back of the flash head. I oriented the flash… -
Re: Shout out to Llywellyn
Slightly lower temperature (~175c or ~350F) and always turn the oven off as soon as you start to smell the rich chocolate through the kitchen and the edges start to pull away. They'll finish baking on their own. Here's the 4-3-2 recipe: Dry stuff: 4 cups sugar 3 cups flour 2 cups cocoa ~1-2 teaspoons baking powder… -
Re: Parent taking photos to share vs. sports photos to sell?
I think you are doing the smartest thing in regard to not charging this season for the reasons you specify. It may also be to your long term advantage to get your work out there so people can see what you do and build desire to purchase it next season. Think of it as a loss leader promotion. Your in business Now! For the…
