Re: Photographer Photographs Photographer
Thank you so much Brandon :) The lighting setup for the first image was very interesting. I didn't want my light showing up and streaking across the pavement because then it would be too obvious. So I used an SB 900 triggered with a Multimax Pocket Wizard at 1/32nd power. I believe the Iso on that was 640. I chose this… -
Re: Question about aperture and sharpness...
The answer is not simple. Any lens design involves some compromises. As you open the aperture up, more of the lens surface gets involved in creating the image and generally that makes those compromises more apparent with a loss in sharpness. On the other end, as you stop down diffraction caused by the aperture itself will… -
Re: Help me buy into a system!
Ummmm .... I think I have to disagree wit Chris H on this. It's true that you select the camera body for the type of shooting you want to do. For example, the 5DII would not be a first choice for photographing a football game. With some notable exceptions, you can match the offering of one manufacturer with that of… -
Re: SmugMug Feature Requests #3
I have a nifty idea. Nifty idea, don't know if anyone does it really... Or, if they do, not quite like this... The standard idea first... First, there is the ability to chose, of course, your standard "Black/White, Sepia" styles for ordered photographs. This is a kind-of big deal, and I would REALLY like something like… -
Re: San Jose Sharks - opening night
Whew! I'm glad I don't work for you! haha. Serisouly though, I need a good kick in the butt to stay sharp and improve. Thanks for the deep review. So, here goes. I am past the point of trying to impress friends and family. They think I'm awesome and it's no longer a challenge. Instead, I am moving towards making the shots… -
Re: need advice on purchase of first DSLR
Thanks for the kind words as always Art To answer your question based on my personal preferences and experience: I am an avid Olympus user. One of the reasons I was drawn to Olympus cameras is their great size, and their amazing features for prices far better than the competition. They are light, slightly smaller than… -
Re: How to buy a new motorcycle: the long way
Day 4 I was pretty excited for this day. I'd get to ride through Petrified National Park and stop at the giant meteor crater!!! Yeah, so much for that... They charge $20 (maybe more, my memory is blocking it out) just to walk in and see it. I'm all for supporting national parks and such, but come on! We paid far less to… -
Re: no print sales from the wedding yet!?
Nope doesn't keep the bride and groom from printing out pics for friends and family. But its a round robin concept. The time it takes me to take their Aunt Suzie's order (who, most likely, doesn't understand how to work the "internet" and I end up spending 40 min on the phone with), upload a replacement file and follow up… -
Re: I got whacked upside the head with a Canon!
First things first, I know I'll need to be changing my username at some point. :) Besides the fact that my dad uses Canon, I simply like Canon's selection of lenses better than Nikon's. I'm into getting the best glass that I can afford and I think that Canon will work just fine. At this point, I'm looking at a basic 3-lens… -
Re: A Polite Discussion on the Relative Merits of Film and Digital Photography
Each method of storage has it's pros and cons. I didn't get into the photography until the digital age, but I think digital storage is easier and more full proof. I put my favorite pics on smugmug and it's my offsite backup. I have an external HD that backs up my photo directory every night. I have been around the computer…
