Re: 'tis the season for campus E-shoots 6pix
Diva: slight crop 60mm EF-S Macro. These B&W's aren't infra. I do little color by color gray scale bumps depending on the couple's skin tone in LR, select a split tone, clarity, vignetting, noise and sharpen values and save it as a preset. Then I apply it to every picture that I want mono. I don't tick any of the exposure… -
Re: Best camera & lens for $1700?
You are braver than I am. I hate to shoot in situations where I have to make fast decisions and people get upset if I make a mistake. But if you are going to do it, a few pieces of advice: --Re the advice to get familiar with the camera: YES!!!!! Unless you are going to treat the camera as a point and shoot, it will take… -
Re: Who do I talk to...lawyer, accountant, etc. about a new biz?
Sorry to bump this older thread, but I'd love some more input. I'm at the point where, to do the shooting I want to do, I need to market it a bit and start formalizing the business aspect. To date, most of my shoots have been unpaid (or nominally paid in the form of thank you gift certs, small profit - ie pennies - on… -
Re: How did Canon got white color lenses?
I really can't think that way, that there is a first-place camera, etc. I eventually want three camera systems (very much IMHO): Canon based system: It is well known that Canon has the most extensive lineup of lenses and the best 3rd-party lens support of all the brands. I am underway in acquiring, within reason and… -
Re: Planning a trip to Africa
I haven't done Tanzania but have been on safari in Africa a few times. My partner and I both shoot so there is quite a bit of gear but this seems to work and gets on the plane in the overhead! 20D, 30D, 100-400 IS, 17-40L, polarisers, 81b warming filter (to extend that nice light in the mornings). At least 2 CF cards each… -
Re: beginner buying and DSLR
I would suggest the 70-200mm f/4L IS with a good mid-range zoom The 70-200mm f/4L IS lens is an excellent and relatively light weight lens that is easily hand-held (I have arthritis in my hands and manage the 70-200mm f/4L very well). This lens, or the very-good Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS lens can easily be used without a… -

Re: m8o in Northern Tanzania '07 (serious d/l warning!)
O-Kee ...I've been meaning to update this thread here on this board. So here goes... It's been a while. This is getting painfully slow. :( At this rate it will be Christmas before I'm done... :o Nothing to smile about. But happily, here's another installment from the trip. Here are some excerpts of the best of the 1st 1/2… -
Re: Anadolu Ekspresi- Across Asia Minor
Lake Van and Akdamar Island Lake Van is a strange body of water indeed. First off, it's big- the biggest lake in Turkey. It is 75 miles (119km)wide at its broadest point, with an average depth of 561 feet (171 meters), although it reaches up to three times that depth in places. It is also endorheic, meaning it has not… -
Re: B&W conversion of a street shot
Well this was a good challenge. Let's see... David's right about the red channel in that we want the beard to be darker than the face and the red channel definitely has that. Also it has better detail in the pyramid thing and in the green vegetation. But it has no detail in his face, plugs the label of the cup and blows…
