Re: Do You Scope Out Locations Before the Wedding Day?
Astrostu, this question has two answers. Firstly, how GOOD are you? If you're charging big bucks for your services, you better be able to walk into ANY situation and rock some amazing images, period. You should never count on gorgeously soft light that makes your job effortless, you should be able to take harsh sunlight… -
Re: 5d micro
Consider the 90mm Tamron f/2.8 macro Either the present DI (which is supposed to be optimized for digital) or the earlier model non-DI, AF SP lens would be great with either a full frame or 1.6x crop camera. Either Tamron competes very well with the Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro (it is better in some ways and not quite as good… -
Re: Tamron 90mm (Model 172E)
You Have A Great Lens Your lens is the model previous to the present 90mm Tamron Macro. It is the 90mm f/2.8 Tamron SP Macro. The newer model adds the designators DI to that name to signify that it has been optimized for macro shooting! I would not worry about having the older model. If yours is as sharp as mine and there… -
Re: Canon Lens Date Code Help
This is where I recommend that you put your emphasis. If the lens does not work to your satisfaction, it really doesn't matter when it was assembled. Likewise for the "good deal". The first thing that I do is to check a new (or new to me) lens for autofocus accuracy and speed. While the speed thing is more subjective, as… -
Re: When professionals need a travel zoom
No, the NIKKOR AF-S DX 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR will never be part of my "professional" travel kit. Yes, I could see using it if photography was not a major part of the trip (i.e. a quick family vacation with no great image expectations.) I have started a Nikon DX kit which will eventually have 3-4 lenses, depending upon… -
Re: 1st Official Engagement Photoshoot
Hi Robert, Firstly, I'd like to say that there is something I immediately appreciate about your images. You're here, asking for critique (#1), and you're doing it with images that aren't great, but at least you don't have a watermark that you look like you spent ages on. I'm always flabbergasted to see folks come here with… -
Re: Auto Focus Fine Tuning
1) Basic AF accuracy is best accomplished using a flat target, i.e. a brick wall or other large textured surface. If a camera/lens cannot accomplish this task, it has no chance of passing any subsequent AF tests including real world use. Make sure that the target is at the typical distance for your normal use of the lens,… -
Re: Underwhelmed with the D800
With your camera set to one-shot mode and single point center AF: 1) Basic AF accuracy is best accomplished using a flat target, i.e. a brick wall or other large textured surface. If a camera/lens cannot accomplish this task, it has no chance of passing any subsequent AF tests including real world use. Make sure that the… -
Re: Amanda - Senior 2012
Thanks for commenting everyone. Ill be sure to reply to your comments as time allows. Charles I really appreciate the kind words. A little about #8, as it was a kind of "redemption shot". She brought the most beautiful prom dress to the shoot. Lots of gals do, but when she put it on it was obvious...even to me....that this… -
Re: Kasey and Arthur Engagement Shoot - Beloved Style
Here's my take. 1. Wonderful shot. The colors, the background...composition...post processing. 2. Also like a lot...but no feet. 3. Nice shot...but, it's OOF...and you have them looking out of the frame. That's not good for a couple of reasons...one it's been a rule for a long time...and it's not a good rule to break for…
