E-620 v. E-410 ISO
I know it's not a fair fight, but I did it anyway. Both bodies mounted in the same position (tripod and head position were not moved), 14-54 mk II and remote shutter release. Aperture priority, EV +1.0, cable release. The following will be each ISO and its respective 100% crop. ACR 5.4 as a neutral RAW converter. WB was… -
A few pics from London Zoo
I popped into London to treat myself a wee bit and take a few pics with the E1 + 14-54ZD of the little and not so little critters there. There's parts of the zoo that I don;t like - esp the enclosure fro the big cats and birds of prey which is just way too small and you can see that they need more space. I really wish the… -

Interesting Ride Today
My riding partner Brad and I took a ride out around Lake Isabella and wound up at the Kern Valley Airport for breakfast. Excellent Ortega omlette, FWIW. After breakfast, we buzzed down the runway to check out this Sikorsky CH-54 skycrane, on call to put out any hotspots in a stubborn fire we've been fighting for about a… -
Re: Samantha home studio
Are you metering you shots or by-passing 'cause your shooting digital? A meter can be a HUGE help, they are not perfect...but can save a ton of guesswork. Really need to start with a properly exposed neg(file) and then the work in ACR (or any other raw converter) is much easier, it is very hard to see exactly what you have… -
Re: >>> 2.1 (Moving Forward): Critique/Discussion Thread
Nice work everyone! Thanks for those who commented. Although I agree that not seeing they eyes is a distraction...and I should have chosen a shot that shows the face more...(hard with the hats though)... the "bit flat" is because of the pouring rain storm that was coming down. A very dark sky and pouring rain isn't the… -
Re: Review of Feisol CT-3401 and Kirk BH-3 ballhead
My Feisol I purchased a Feisol C-3442 last year. I needed a tripod that was compact enough to pack in my luggage and the CT-3442 fit the bill. The legs fold over the ball head to minimize the size. It's a good tripod for traveling, light, compact and pretty steady considering it's size. It also extends to full height (54… -
Re: How to get soft light with flashes?
What the OP wants is a light tent. One can build their own or buy them. A little 1/2 inch PCV pipe to build a frame and then cover it on four sides with white cotton or nylon sheeting to shoot your flashes through to light the subjects. I would suggest making a 1 meter square frame with 1/2 or 3/4 inch PVC pipe, and then… -

Lowepro Versapack 200AW
FT: My Lowepro Versapack 200 AW in excellent condition. Would like to trade for your Crumpler 5MDH or similarly-sized shoulder bag. Basically, I'm looking for a smaller bag that will allow for quicker access to gear. The backpack is currently too big for my needs. I'd consider Domke or Crumpler or ThinkTank…
