    Alien Bees B800

    Thinking about a serious lighting upgrade to a couple B800s, stands, and 2.5x5ft light boxes along w/ Pocket Wizards to trigger them. Any Alien Bees users here?

    67mm Filter Kit?

    As I mentioned in another post, I replaced my D90 kit lens with an upgrade from Tamron. I'm looking to get a 67mm filter kit, which will fit both lenses. Most of these starter kits come with 3 filters. Usually a CPL, UV, and ND filter...but there are variations. What would you recommend?

    Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8

    I finally replaced my general purpose D90 kit lens with a Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD. This lens is held in pretty high regard and has some outstanding reviews. It ranks right up there, and even outperforms its Nikon and Canon counterparts in a few areas...and is much less...

    Modeling Shoot - NSFW! (Nudity)

    What a difference Lightroom makes! Below is a comparison, the first being the new version that I tweaked with Lightroom vs. the original image done in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop. The colors are so much more vibrant and and the tones have much more depth. At first I wasn't really sure...

    Modeling Shoot - NSFW! (Nudity)

    NSFW - Not Safe for Work! I don't know that there are any rules against this, so I'll post it and hope for the best. If you're offended by nudity, then turn back now. I've taken some precautions here and covered the R-rated bits. This is about posing and lighting, and not naked...

    Pinewood Derby 2011

    I was in Cub Scouts when I was a kid, and remember it being quite fun...until the Pinewood Derby of 1983. The Pack Leader's son was allowed to enter an out of spec car, which of course won the race. Fast forward 25 years. Yes, I hold a grudge. My fiancee's son is in Cub Scouts and it's time...

    Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8

    Been thinking about getting this lens. Or possibly the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8, as I've read that either one is comparable to the Nikkor version at about half the price. Will be using one of these for MMA fights. Does anyone have experience w/ either lens?

    Do you have Photoshop? Same photo w/ some enhanced and gritty details. Sorry for the low quality of this one...the halos usually don't appear unless altering a jpeg image.

    Mixed Martial Arts Training Session Photos

    Nice shots, ZiN! I shoot MMA action too and you've done some great work here. I usually don't like off-kilter shots, but they work very well in this kind of setting. Kudos for using some creativity! Mr. Bautsch is right. You need an external flash. The lighting in these gyms and at MMA...
