Re: Mini Challenge # 301: Vacation
I decided that in order to illustrate a topic like Vacation, the photo would have to show people on vacation. I made this decision because I didn't want to have to decide which photo of amazing scenery to use - narrowing the topic. When I went looking for photos, I decided on an even narrower selection of possibilities.… -
Re: Law: Freelance Photography Involving Children
You need to call this guy back and ask him to give the exact law, where it was written, when it went into effect and a link to it or tell him to STFU kindly. However having done freelance for the Florida Today newspaper, any person in a public venue or area of any age and of any sex is open to have their picture taken and… -
Re: Rods or Cones: A discussion of B&W vs Color
Tina, your images are very powerful and moving, whether in monochrome or in color. That is a credit to your eye and your judgement. Some images do lend themselves to color, some demand it, and others are best rendered as monochrome images. Jay Maisel emphasizes that color kills shape - think of how camouflage hides a… -
Re: Eyeone Display 2...did I do it right?
Here's how I do mine: 1. Connect the eye-one device to your computer, then start up Eye-One Match. Make sure you have the latest version 3.6.2. Select the Advanced option. 2. Select LCD for the monitor type. 3. Select your white point. I chose Warm White (5000K), but you decide what you want. I don't bother with the… -
Re: Batch Processing beginner - can file conversion be an action (CS2)?
Stephen, I'm not sure how to email an action. Or did you just mean to list the steps I built into the action? Somehow, I'm thinking it's not the action that's the problem, however, but instead the dialogue box for File>Automate>Batch. I can tell you right now that everything in my action is related to lighting boosts,… -
Re: new year, new innovations? what's next?
It's only January 12, where I live anyway. Plenty of year left for lots of new and expensive stuff. I'm personally hoping for the new 64 gigabyte imaging chips which fit the new quantum worm-hole lenses. These contraptions can photograph a gnat from two miles away, and then zoom back to encompass the equivalent of a 3mm… -
Re: Wrestling shots (attempt #1)
Glad to see such a debate being fostered about shooting style and flash in the use of wrestling Personally, when I shoot sports, I don't ever "spray and pray", I believe in getting the timing down and looking for the good shots, keeping my subjects in frame to as large as I want the end shot to be (minimal cropping is… -
Re: Lighting Question
Eventually, you will probably need and want both speedlights and some sort of studio strobes, either monolights or pack lights. I would start with the speedlights, but instead of the one Canon 580EX II I suggest you look at 2 of the Sigma EF 530 DG Super flashes in a Canon mount. The power of the Sigma units is a little… -
Re: WallHog Customer Service RANT!
Actually they sent instruction for both types of wallhogs they sell. I spent a right good amount of time reading the wrong ones, then spent an equal time reading the correct ones. Also had my asst. read them as well to help me interpret them. In truth as I said here, and said to the gal on the phone from Customer Service:… -
Re: Ocean Sunrise Tips?
Wow some great advice. I agree on the bit about getting lower for the shot. I was actually trying to avoid doing that in some of the other shots as I thought putting the railing above the horizon would just obscure the photo. In hindsight, I kinda like the tension it add to the shot. As far as getting over to the right…
