Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
Over the years I've been on three different DSNGRR photographers trips. This gives one the opportunity to get out of the train since it is photographer's special and then take photos along the way in some very picturesque locations which do not have easy access do other than by getting there on the train itself. They also… -
Colorado State Volleyball Championships
I spent 1/2 the day at the Colorado State Volleyball Championships yesterday. In the morning I was at a photography workshop so I had all my gear with me, but didn't plan on taking photos. In fact, I left it all in the car and about 30 steps away decided to turn around and get the camera and 70-200. I just randomly took… -
Re: Practicing with the 4 yr old
Another try at it..... OK, so I convinced him to go out with me again so I could give it another try. It was cooler out this time so we had to put his jacket on. I've been using my SB600 off camera on a bracket (not sure of the proper term) and I have it above the camera maybe about 6 inches or so. I have a plastic white… -
Re: keeper saves the day
Thanks John. Yeah, in a shootout, it's almost assumed that the kicker should score and that if a keeper can stop one, he's really given his team an advantage. And we were playing a "premier" team that should have been making their shots. So it's even more remarkable that he was able to save all three! Yes, he was playing… -
Questions about Canon's 70-200
I've been looking to buy the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS for some time but I now have some questions. I want to be able to improve on low light situations like indoor sports, night time sports, weddings, concerts, etc. Currently, I'm using my Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS so 90% of the time I'm shooting at 5.6. Since I… -
Re: Lightroom developing help
Glad you're trying it out! :D I can't help you w/ Sharpening, I don't normally add sharpening so if it's set it's whatever Lightroom defaulted to...sorry! As for a "how-to" there are a few out there. My *basic* run through is like this: 1) Import (obviously) 2) Slideshow Mode 2a) While watching the Slideshow set the… -
Nikon D70S
Hey folks...just curious about something. I normally shoot in manual mode...but I ran a test the other day to see how the camera would respond. I shot in full auto mode and copied all the exif settings (exposure, compensation etc) to manual and shot the same object under the same light with the same on-board flash but the… -
First photoshoots with the 5d! (11 "small" photos)
Last weekend, I had 4 photoshoots in Denver! I'm SO thrilled with how they went. I had a blast and I'm still sort of shocked that I was able to get them all (mostly) color corrected and cropped (about 160 total final shots whittled down from over 500) in less than a week! (Thank you, Lightroom!) These are my favorites. I… -
Re: Trip Report - Patriots-Bills
OK, so now I can explain why all the photos were "soft" and "noisy", and all those other terrible words. #1. I took the photos. #2. I was using my Canon S1-IS, with the venerable 5.8-58mm f2.8-f3.1 lens aboard. Now I like my camera, but it has deficiences. Namely: .....2A: It has trouble focusing in low light. .....2B:… -
Re: calibrated, received prints, now what?
I'm baaaack! :D I recalibrated tonight (i1 display2) and pushed my lumens down to 92. I think that will be a better brightness match for prints (I hope). But, everything seems to have a twinge of magenta, once again. Very frustrating. No one has told me my pics are too magenta when viewing them online, but the current…
