    flash from the horizontal/vertical orientation has different results

    I noticed this a lot but more and more im not liking vertical shots with flash bounced up. the light is not diffused as much and seems to burn. not consistent as when shooting vertical. im assuming this is because of the flash head being narrow when pointed vertically up vs the wide head. what...

    Preparation for wedding photography

    Chuppa is the alter for jewish ceremonies. 300 is nothing. usually its much more. it gets crazy! not sure how it is there, but US weddings are usually 100-250 max. were 300 on the low end. ive done many weddings with 500 people and a few that were way more. one that had 900 people. low key...

    Preparation for wedding photography

    Yes, me and my friend are about getting the moment. I had a discussion with a videographer who said his point was that using a 70-200 2.8 at the chuppa was a compromise. he said, why arent you using primes? I explained to him, that first as wedding photogs (yes, you Scott, you have the touch...

    Why most of the press shoot with Canon and not with Nikon ?

    WOW Getty Images Sports Photographer Robert Cianflone Reporting from Sochi… The majority of the pool of gear you see at the top will be used for back up to our own gear if something fails, they expect such high fail rates?

    I am after a box for a D200

    Yes, I think he means this probably for reselling purposes. or maybe for collecting.

    want to learn the video side of things for weddings.

    as a pro in the stills part, I feel like a reborn amateur wanting to learn to do video for weddings. I have the base of the stills so understanding shouldnt be an issue. its just certain rules for video that stills doenst have. like frame rate and what lenses, focusing which is manual (I use af...

    Advice to decide: Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Micro-Nikkor or Sigma 258306 105mm

    an EXTREMELY underated and not talked about lens. VERY sharp lens. when I was looking for a 105 lens I looked at everything out there. the Nikon 105VR is the king of bokeh (of all the 105 macros) and size doesnt change and VR for me is useful. expensive. but for portraits its just amazing, but...

    feedback from Tamron 17-35 owners please

    surprised why they havent revamped this lens. FF is strong and there would be a HUGE demand for it IMO. only options are the nikon 16-35/17-35/14-24/18-35 , sigma 17-35 and tokina 16-28. if they launched a new one(2.8 throughout or even 2.8-4 is fine) with a silent motor for $550 or so, it would...

    I need help. D3 D600 different colors, same scene. both AWB. D600 greenish cast

    Not so strong with White balance. my mind is film rigged and of all the issues with digital, white balance is my worst. I just hate it. dont want to deal with it. inside im in denial. but I will have to learn it well. at the moment AWB is fine although I saw times where I should have adjusted...

    Wedding last summer

    I dont ask and I dont give a crap. my work is stellar. 750 is too much. even 500 is way too much. got some amazing pictures snipping people and kids. wow, so many kids. capturing them smiling, interacting, laughing, jumping around, beautiful expressions. I had so much fun shooting. no matter...

    Who uses AF fine tune? calibrating lenses

    I recently bought an 85mm 1.8D after selling my 85 1.4 AIS. I noticed there was a focusing misalignment. played with it a bit by shooting a pickle jar and just gave a bit of correction in the camera. but this is a very halfass way of doing it. but it was sharper. and it had me thinking about...

    Finally pulled the trigger on a d610

    Used my VR 105 today with D600. works fine. but no comparison to the way it feels with the d3. not speed wise, but the confidence you feel with the D3 vs D600. it feels like a monster in full rage vs the D600 wimpy timidness. im fragile guys dont hurt me. go slow, is what it would say. never any...

    3RD party grips.

    I respect your opinion :) if BH and adorama are selling them then I would say they are confident enough to take that burden on their shoulders and not worry about ruining their fantastic rep theyve built over the years. I would prefer to buy nikon, I just see no reason to pay so much. if the...

    3RD party grips.

    had one for a D300, now for a D600, and next for my D900 (notice the trend ;) ) Anyways, for the average joe or even pro a 3rd party grip is great. I know some are scared, suspicious, or nikon loyal fans, but for a plastic part that holds batteries, Id rather save the extra money for better...
