๑۩۩๑ ● Hook, Line and Stinker ::: Fishbowl-O-Rama 2019 ● ๑۩۩๑

I only now realized it's March 2019 and I've not started a new Fishbowl... Time to fix that.

I don't have the same amount of time to post shots as I used to but I'll post some of my favorites here as time permits.

Edit: Now with improved crop!

Proud to be supporting VetArt.org who host the iron pours I photograph every so often. The organizers finally came to their senses and asked about licensing some of my photo's for their promotions and advertising.. :)

Congrats, Paul! Some of your previous images have been very interesting. So what's up with the hyperlink for Men and Women of Iron? The link doesn't take me anywhere. :confused:

Ugh. The link should take you to some of the previous iron pour threads such as...

The link worked for me yesterday but now, apparently, it's given up the ghost. I've edited the original post to remove the breakage.

Thanks for the links. These all work for me now. :) I remember when you posted a lot of them. You're lucky you didn't melt your gear. :beguiled: In all seriousness, it must have been somewhat hot there, wasn't it?

Not my usual subject matter but the southern California deserts are in Super Bloom with all the rain we've had of late and, since we were in Joshua Tree on a whim of a trip, I grabbed a few shots...

I was recently hired to shoot at a gym for a fundraising event... It's something I've never done before and sounded fun so I took the job.
The client is thrilled and it landed me two more jobs, so I'm pretty happy.

Nice, Paul. Congratulations on getting a couple more jobs! :encouragement:

Did you use a flash modifier? At least I"m assuming you used some type of flash - some of the shutter speeds fall within the limits of flash although not all of them. But it's hard to tell if any fill flash was used.

Another question - curious if you'd like this thread moved to a different subforum? D850? 365? Or it can be left here. Let me know if you'd like it moved at any time.

The shots I've posted were taken without flash. Setting up light-stands and modifiers wasn't an option with everyone running around doing circuit-training and what not. Adding to that the ceiling was both really high and dark in color which ruled out bounce flash (though I did try). Later in the shoot I used a pair of AD200's with bare bulbs and dome diffusers (AD-S17's), though. I do LOVE those AD200's!

What do I do when my D850 is being serviced and the wife is out and about with her D5300? I start by digging out an ancient, credit-card size (literally!), 12MP, Canon Powershot SD780is. Then by charging the tiny battery, reformatting its still installed 8GB (Class 6) SD card and commence to beating my head against a wall. Multiple focus points? Nope! Moveable focus point? Nope! Focus and recompose? Nope! P, S, A or M modes? Nope! Shoot in Canon raw? HA! No.

When I could manage to get something in focus, it did alright I suppose, considering the tech'. I'll be glad to have my D850 and Tammy 70-200mm back though (Monday if all goes as planned). This was an exercise more in frustration than anything.
