Not quite as nice as last year, but I was running to my golden roof window upon hearing a heavy pour and back. If only it was a pour like 2 weeks ago on saturday, that would be nice and easy.

WHAT a weekend! Rest the pics show perfectly well. ECB 2015 - Skvora Limited Photography

Couldn't resist orchestrating this monday night,

They were looking for local photogs via CL, I shot em a message, heard back and now have shot 5 cars for them already. Rates are 50+10/15 for mileage reimbursement, so it's not much, but if the volume keeps coming in, it's a pretty good deal to meet people and do ~1 hr of work per shoot (can say...

Looking to get a road bike to help me workout and reach places that are about too far/sketchy to reach w/ a bag full of gear on a skateboard or rollerblades. Looking for something as light as my tight budget can get (500 tops) and that would hopefully last as well. Any suggestions?

So I might have the pleasure of doing some video for the recording of a weekly net radio show a friend of mine and this is what they have going for lighting right now - RippedRadio Nightcap 4-30-2015 - Skvora Limited Photography Does anyone know of good LED panels or reasonable spotlights to...

Both 70-200 I and 24-85 were misfocusing until I dialed about +5 into AF tune. Was never the case on my 600, so that really made me wonder what happened exactly. And fine tune was OFF initially, so it wasn't some active preset messing me up. Also only used single point AF on static subjects. My...

Got some inspiration anticipating goslings hatching, likely in 2 weeks if not sooner, to try and start an interactive map/supporting blog section and roll with it as it happens. This is mostly to spent regular time outside and play with my site/gis some more, and hopefully carry out a...

And still no idea how exactly since I haven't downloaded anything unusual around the time it happened, nor anything from email (never even open sketchy ones) and unfortunately noticed something being off a little too late - most images, ps files, docs and texts got encrypted with the obvious...

I understand how in the past and during jpeg days, lens' characteristics indeed played a significant role in the overall picture, but now that most of us take full advantage of RAW and post'ing (forum pun aside) is anything but lens' sharpness even that relevant anymore? Colors can be punched up...

Happened to open up some funds and I feel its time to get a set of decent triggers and maybe another cheapy TTL-capable flash like the ones @WayneF reviewed last month. Ideally I'd want to be able to pass the settings from the 600 to the receivers to avoid having to mess with the flashes...

Still don't know how, but managed to drop mine and so its back to the 5100 w/ all the glass until I send in the 6 for the "free" shutter thing again and hopefully damaged mirror hinge (on the right side) won't cost over 3-400 or so. My 55/1.2 took the same dive and, the stock UV filter took the...

Namely the DC autoshow that I attended last year, but 5100+only a 2.8 24mm w/ CPL was a real fun time..... Nevertheless, I think one local exotic dealer spotted my card somewhere and displayed it at their table and posted one of the shots from my FB on theirs. So this year - sadly no CPL (won't...

So, here it is: Tutorial: Studio Light Painting - Skvora Limited Photography

I feel that this one ended up my most successful overall area over the past year, so I really want to hear feedback on where this stands right now. 16 shots in all, starting with ones like these, Interiors - Skvora Limited Photography A good few are still frontline shots for the respective...

And dealing with CLS and its limitations on the Yongnuo at times. I'll definitely say that first time I'll do a paid studio style gig, I'll invest into triggers like no tomorrow. Until then, a backdrop to set up at home for more practice. Blind Whino Shoot - Skvora Limited Photography

Finally test drove my large bender + softbox attachment and I liked everything but the bulk. Softbox option is the main attractive factor for me, but if the small bender can't really deliver enough spread, then perhaps I can get/make a simple pizza-slice white card to bounce light better than a...

Only rule being getting the desired shot done by any means necessary. And inching my way item by item, day by day trying various little things. I think the dust plague in the black shots is here to stay until I find some kind of blower or just leave it for post to remove all of that junk...

So about to search for and get my first proper backdrop cloth, any suggestions on a good starting color? White would be easy to wash out and get a pure white surrounding look. Black might do wonders for isolation as well, though would have to do much harder flash work at lower apertures. Is...
