Re: C&C on a couple of portraits?
So I went into CS4 and pulled up a Levels Layer. Whites didn't start clipping until I got to 215 (and that was just the T-shirt). There wasn't any clipping in the face region until I got down to 190. Those numbers are out of 255 (max value for 8-bit color). If you are looking in LR2, then those numbers are percents, but if… -
SOLD: Bogen 190CXPRO3 (190MF3)
I picked this up a week ago from a dealer, it was missing a couple of rubber feet that I replaced so I got it slightly discounted @ $290... but found I have my eye on another lens that I need cash to get. So this Carbon Fiber Bogen tripod is on the market at my loss, your gain... This is for the tripod only. Has never been… -

Re: Need Advice for fast Sport photography
Correct, it was the beach of Le Touquet. I tried getting the total pack shot, for the reasons you mention, and one kilometer away from the start, it just wasn't possible since there are 1000 motorcycle spread out over 3 rows deep, the line was far too long. And totally impossible to chnage position when they started. It… -
Re: What flash should I buy?
Actually, the power advantage of the 580 is something just under 1 stop (guide numbers 141' for the 430 vs 190' for the 580). The real advantage of th 580EX II over the others is the quicker refresh rate and, to my mind, a better user interface. In addition, there's the abiltiy of the 580 to control other Canon compatible… -
Re: Mull Lighthouse, Versace Style
I'm a fan of contrasty, but I was unsure about the clouds. I did pull them back some from my original contrast as I felt they'd gotten too dark. I'll look again and probably tweak some more. The lighthouse is not blown in the original, and the detail is still there (if you put your nose up to it). I had a point set on it… -
Re: Time for a tripod - advice appreciated
Back from Hunt's... They only had the Manfrotto's and a slightly smaller Giotto's to play with. The Manfrotto 055 was too tall for me and too heavy imo The Manfrotto 190 was a decent height but felt a bit wobbly The Giotto MT9251 was nice. The one I would likely want (9261) is one pound heavier though... So now I have two… -
Re: Living off the Grid
I have processed enough images now to share an initial batch. Keep in mind this series was designed as a slide show of about 190 images with a sound track that included taped interviews and music. This was originally shot and produced in 1986. I believe this series is still pertinent today- even more so, as we yearn for a… -
Re: Help with this image.
Yeah it's appealing certainly, but not as exciting as it could be, perhaps. If you care to use Ps (there are parallels in Lr etc, and plug in filter options) I would suggest doing a white point adjustment on the clouds only to get brighter whites, and then blending those resulting highlights in a copy of the background,… -
Re: PP steps of your macro pics?
yes always shoot raw. most of the time i dont have to adjust much, usually only exposure and white ballance for flash shots. i convert in lightroom, adjust exposure if nec, sometimes use "clarity" slider if shots where taken with 450d [ not necc with 5d2 shots ] sharpen at about 30-40 and quite often use the recovery…
