Re: Studio setup - Dealership
When you're lighting for sale vs. style, you are looking at two very different setups. I would consider finding a nice outdoor spot for photos instead of a studio. A local office park with class A office space (very nice building), front of the dealership-on a platform for display, a roadside pull-out with exceptional… -

Re: Why is it always nikon vs canon?
ETA: A LOT of people are jumping to the Sony flagship cameras at the moment - their sensors are supposed to be out of this world. They may well become the "third" brand in portraits from what I'm hearing/reading at the moment........... Why iso 3200? What are you shooting that needs that kind of ISO? Most cameras, even… -
Re: Karen Ends My 2011
John, have to agree these aren't your best. Charles has already mentioned the problems with the lighting (the shadows behind the sofa in particular jumped out at me), but I think these backgrounds take "distracting" to a new level - it makes the shots look snapshot-ish despite the intention of being provocative and setting… -
Re: Lens Quandry for Canon 7D
If you mostly intend to shoot with a long-ish zoom outdoors and in good light, the Canon EF 70-300mm, f4-5.6L IS USM and the older Canon EF 70-300mm, f4-5.6 IS USM are both worthy of consideration, but the "DO" version is probably not as good a consideration for most applications because of the unusual bokeh that can… -
Re: Michelle - Various Looks
Absolutely agree on that - which is why we have both "glamour" and "fashion" photography often using similar models (and styling) to achieve different effects through different approaches taken by the photographers! Coupla questions, John: 1. Purpose of shoot? 2. If for her portfolio, what market is she aiming for… -
FS: Nikon AI/AIS Lenses
I've switched back to Canon on the digital side, and I've had the same roll of Velvia in my FE2 since last Christmas, so I've come to the realization that my remaining Nikon gear isn't going to see much use any time soon. Up for sale is a collection of nice Nikon manual-focus prime lenses; all are AIS except the 50mm f2.… -
Aug 16 wedding
I still can't believe how mild the weather was Saturday, but I'll take it! A gorgeous day with a bit too much sunshine but a few well placed clouds helped out when needed. Anyhoo, here's a few of my faves. A challenging gig schedule wise, lots of time crunching and MIAs, but I think I'm finally getting the grace-under-fire… -
FS (CAN): Carl Zeiss Jena 20/2.8, Helios 40-2
I'm looking to free up some gear to make room for new toys so these are up on the chopping block. Carl Zeiss Jena 20mm f/2.8 - $260USD/$290CAD I purchased this from an FM member about a year ago and it found its home on my Canon F-1 for most of the time. The lens is in decent condition and the glass is spotless. The… -
OM lens on my E-410
I hope this is in the right forum. If it isn't, feel free to move it where appropriate (mods). About a year ago, I bought my first digital SLR camera. I have an Olympus E-410. It has been a great hobby and I wish that I had this camera on some of my earlier expeditions (while USAF Active Duty). As I learn more about the…
