Re: Shutter Speed in the Studio
In my opinion, as a commercial/product photographer of more than 35 years, it is wrong to assume that ambient light will not affect color accuracy and color purity, or that it will have no impact on shadows, etc. It's always best to have control of the situation, and if that means flipping a switch or throwing a breaker or… -
Re: little league
Playoffs--two game elimination. We played three and lost two, so we are out--we lost last night's game 1-0 on a walk! Here is a series of shots of the last three games. We won the first and lost the last two. Taken right after this kids' first and last hit of the season. 28. 29. . 30. 31. My son on the bench after getting… -
Project: 580 EX II External Power from SLA Battery to High Voltage Port
Hey all, I'm looking for the electronic nerds around here. I'm working on building the following and I'd like input or recommendations for resources that others might know about. I've got 4 Canon 580 EX II's that I'm shooting with all the time; a lot of out door, on location, compete with the sun type of stuff. Invariably… -
Practising with portraits
Hi all, I recently picked up a copy of both the LAB book and Dan's latest Professional Photoshop. I've been practising with the Chapter 16 recipe particularly, and I'd appreciate some feedback on how it's working out for me. This is what I started with: And this is what I ended up with: To my eye, there are quite a few… -
Sigma 30 1.4 D80 D70 problems
I wanted to let others know about my experience with the Sigma 30 1.4 (for nikon) and the D300, D70, D80, and D40 camera bodies. I own the first two bodies listed. I also have experience with the ONE Sigma 30 copy. I may have had a bad copy, or it may indicate problems for all of them. I purchased the Sigma 30 and tried it… -
new photo processing computer ...
I've been away from DG for quite a while, looking forward to renewed contribution here. My most immediate interest is deciding on a new photo processing computer. I'm a long-time PC guy, being dragged kicking and screaming to Mac. Well, not really kicking and screaming, I've invested a good deal of time at our local Apple… -
GEAR: Zeiss 21mm f/2.8
Zeiss 21mm f/2.8 Review by Andy Canon-made offerings on the wide angle focal lengths suffer from softness at the edges and corners when used with a full-frame sensor camera such as the 1Ds Mark II, or 5D. The best solution I've come across, is to use a Zeiss 21mm f/2.8 Distagon, with a CameraQuest Adapter to mount on the… -
No Trespassing, the creek
of course. I was driving to find birds, and light. I knew I saw some light downtown, I also almost got killed by an SUV. I came back to Mt Pleasant. I had had a root canal, I was entitled to photo birds....... on my way, I saw the Shem Creek dock from a different direction. With birds on it, yes there are birds!, and a… -
Wanted some sunrise shots - long post
Hi Y'all, I left my house early yesterday in some rather nippy weather for Florida to catch some sunrise shots at the Viera Wetlands. I had my 17-35 and my 28-70 set up on my D2X and D200 and I thought it would be a nice break from bird pics. Then as I drove down the road leading to THE TREE I saw this scene. Screw the… -
