Re: Lighting a Group on Stairs
You kind of lost me there...Shay This sounds like something I'll need to do once my flash gets here... by pointing straight at the person you mean 90 degrees? and straight up (toward the ceiling) would be 0 degrees? Feathering would be 45 degrees? Joe: Too bad that "on the stairs" is where they want to stand. The people in… -
Re: Spring Road
Thanks kindly Don! Processing is just a tool to help you drive towards the goal one has and that can vary. I only shoot if the light is worth shooting in. If I catch good light, then that eliminates the need to try add something extra or create something new. I didn't have to do much to these images. Of course there are… -
Re: Dropped my 24-70....hooray.
I stopped to take pics of a longhorn standing in a field one day on a drive in the country. I was on the way to the local small airport to do some flying but saw the bull and the field in the background and couldnt resist the shot. I had my 70-200F2.8L on my 7D, grabbed my 24-70F2.8L out of my kit. I set the 24-70 on the… -
Re: My first "real" portrait attempt
Black velvet = wonderful, but remember that dress material fabrics are usually only 45" or occasionally 60" wide. If you're gonna go the velvet route, check out the upholstery section where material is generally sold in wider widths; it is, of course, more expensive the wider it is, but at least you get what you need that… -
Re: Is it necessary to convert to canon?
raju- For me ... it is the image that counts ... and that is all that counts. If you plan to shoot at higher ISOs ... then Canon is a clear and easy choice. When comparing similar size sensors and under ISO 800 ... you won't be able to differentiate between a Nikon image and a Canon image (and this is probably true for a… -
Re: Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS vs Non-IS??
Sam, I respectfully believe you have completely misread Glort's post, and you were out of line with that personal attack about the quality of his work. Why was that even relevant to this discussion? I'll allow this one since you caveat at the very beginning "maybe I'm just grumpy this morning"... But for the record, it… -
Re: A Few Frames of Short Eared Owls
We went back a third time, yesterday - the first day we've seen real sunlight in about two weeks. It was a joy to have more light, and I shortened my shutter speed to 1/1250th but I have decided that is still too long for these birds when they are flitting about - they are really fast, especially when in aerial combat with… -
Re: Noob help
Read the review, it will indeed answer many of these questions A polarizer is a special filter that helps reduce reflections and glare off of many surfaces and portions of the sky. It is a very handy filter to have. Lets say you have a pane of glass with a lot of reflections in it, well the polarizer just may reduce them… -
Re: In camera HDR
Honestly, Chris Johnson, NONE of the cameras currently on the market are worth buying compared to another, if you're only thinking about the HDR feature. It is borderline useless on all cameras. For the sake of simplicity, let's compare two of the most popular cameras today, both of which have an HDR feature: The Nikon… -
Re: Perigee Moon
Tonight's Supermoon (and the back story) Twenty-four hours later, the chase is over. I started my attempt to capture this year's supermoon (otherwise known as the perigee of the moon) on Saturday night. The moon was at its nearest point to Earth in its yearly orbit and that should have resulted in a larger and brighter…
