    curious on this technique by mike kelley

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCaWYtPqcOM my question is regarding the flashing he does with an SB flash on a monopod. he walks around and flashes part of the house. probably giving different exposures for every shot. then in photoshop layers them. dodging and adjusting for the proper final...

    Upgrading Umbrella Swivel Adapters

    if its for studio then the metal ones are fine, but for portability convenience the right plastic in the pic is fabulous. I use the right plastic one in weddings all the time (about 100 a year) I use it with my 42" photoflex umbrellas and theyve taken falls and I dont see a plus to the metal...

    Ok had this mood to test my flashes. so far did just 3 SB900 SB700 yn560III-will do the others as well. I put the flash on a yn622n transceiver. put my sekonic l-718 flash meter on a light stand using a manfrotto clamp with stud. I measured 1m and placed the flash head exactly 1m from the...

    Questions - flash / tripod

    congrats on your new entry into photography. "real" flash? hahaha...what does that mean? well I guess I can vouch for flashes and quality. I have the Sb700 2xSb800 and Sb900. Sb700 (nicely sized and exactly the same as an SB800) is very fast to recycle. Sb900/910 more powerful. I also...

    Anyone using Tokina ATX AF 16-28mm f/2.8 Pro FX

    And I need the opposite. I shoot weddings and shooting the dance floor with people at 24 and wider, anyone more towards the corners or edge of the frame get pulled and look warped. thats how it is. thats when you go wider than 24mm. so I try to shoot with the 28-70 AFS as much as I can at 28mm...

    corrupt files on memory card. why you must use the 2nd slot for backup

    https://www.mediafire.com/#8lfbjqqsqp8zc 4 images uploaded images are corrupted. wont mention the brand but if I dont get replacements quickly, will no longer buy from them. I cant take the chance the cards will fail. luckily I always have the 2nd slot as a backup. also when I shoot, I always...

    different exposure outcome with the same settings in the camera. pic after pic

    I usually shoot on CH and shoot 2 pics in a row. this isnt the first time this has happened and its happened when my friend uses his D4, My D3 and my newly received (that was his) D3s. didnt touch anything but place it in PS to resize. Anyone experience this? weird how the difference is...

    nikon stock lowest in 3 years and I couldnt be happier.

    I said on these forums this will be the worst one and I was right. that makes the 3rd revenue in a row thats pretty bearish. get rid of some managerial staf, bring in new young talent. go back to the F5 time when they were respected by professionals or the D3 D700 time when they were innovative...

    Tell us your trinity of lenses.

    AHA! But the image quality is stellar. better than every other zoom can do at that FL and at 2.8 onwards. I wish I could shoot weddings with just primes. just not practical. at parts of the weddings, yes, other times when youre stressed and must get shots, you must have the flexibility. Its...

    traded D600 for D3s with my friend

    I took his old D3s (shutter was replaced last year) Im happy but also a bit sad. the D600 had great resolving power. but those huge file sizes were never useable and slowed down my editing workflow. its something you want to have, but never had the need for it. the clients pcs were having a hard...

    improvements to cameras-wishlist

    been thinking about this for many years now. just wondering how much more improvements do cameras need. the goal is to get features of a D4s trickling down into cheaper cameras. look at the D600. it has the same IQ as a D3X. yes it takes time. but for instance the D4s can shoot at 20000 without...

    Today I shot video at a wedding and man do I suck.

    I did learn a few things but man I felt so incompetent. I felt that people noticed I was an amateur in videography but I think it was just in my mind. so shaky. composition was weird at times. I did try to switch my mind to watch my frame all the time but at times I was cutting heads. had a led...

    1st real wedding

    the thread wasnt active for two weeks till today. Scott wont mind our technical bickering. flashes are unobtrusive. its how Fstoppers shoot and many pros shoot today. but something else which might answer why there are no gelled spot lights. arent there any lights in those venues? certainly...
