Here is one of cub scouts using the 10 x 20 backdrop, 2-studio strobe with umbrellas. I will have to look for the small one. I usually use large clamps like you find at home depot or lowes great exercise for your hands. I have two on each side to stretch the fabric. If its wrinkled just spray...

Yep just missed this one coming in for a landing: the setup D500 with a 300mm AIS ED (film lens) mounted on a tripod on the dining room table, bird feeder outside in front of window. So I am shooting old glass through window glass. Since I can't move his wing is out of the frame. I did better...

Now some of you might not like the ACLU but they have short movie about taking images in the USA so here it is. I usually show this at my Basic Digital class. When I took images of my grand daughter I had a large plastic #2 the other mothers at the play ground wanted to know if they could take...

Good. Sometimes you have to do it again. I have been working on friends 2010 iMac. He originally had a fan failed and you could fry an egg on his iMac, I replaced the fan and it was a complete tear out but it would not boot properly bad graphics. We determine not to sink any more money, new...

Watch out for 1TB iMac they put a smaller SSD from 128GB to 64GB this is for the fusion drive ones. I have a 2012 that has a 128GB but the original 1TB gave me a SMART warning of an eminent failure so I back up and it 3 months after warranty. I looked at two videos and cracked it open and...

Bub, A long time ago when we bought lenses they actually came with a piece of card board that gave a DOF (Depth of Field) calculations at the different aperture. No longer is that given plus most new lenses no longer have a DOF scale. If you have a smart phone you can find some free/99¢ apps...

When I actively shot weddings this is basically what I carried: 4 -bodies same make , lenses: zoom, wide angle, portrait etc. the lenses mounted on the camera, two tripods (use both at church in strategic places also at reception), 4- strobes , plenty of cards usually rotated as certain...

ISO 200 at the Phipps noon time 30 May 2017 no flash just hand held; nope do not miss on board flash; take the flash off and place it anywhere but on the camera. I did have a flash in the backpack but did not felt the need. I think these were all done with 35mm F/1.8G. Who needs a ND I did...

Here are some out at Presque Isle PA State Park in Erie. I had just finished working on a computer at a friends home I decided to go and see if anything was going on. I found four swans feeding where the boat houses are in Presque Isle. I did not want to disturb them so I left the tripod in the...

Here is a screen shot of Affinity; instead of unsharp filter I used clarity at 3px. The final image of the mallard. I am pleased with their product. For those that may be hesitant juts try the trial. The RAW develop module may be a little different from Adobe Camera RAW but you can get used...

I was doing some ducks this late afternoon and they were skittish; a Mallard got out of the pond with his mate and did not want me snooping with my camera. You can see him walk away. Lou Cioccio
