I put either a UV or a 1A Skylight filter on my lenses for decades, mainly to protect the front element. Wow, was I wrong. Much better results by having no filter. And yes, my 24-105mm has a small...

It happens. You already know the 1D3 is a great camera. Get the shutter fixed and then you'll be happy again. Good luck to you.

Who is paying for the wear and tear on your equipment and its depreciation? And are you being compensated (financially or in-kind) for your time? In some jurisdictions, this could count as hours of...

How many additional batteries did you buy? Did you charge those? Having just one battery is not recommended as Murphy's Law dictates it will run out in the midst of your most important shoot ever.

I'm looking for a small battery-operated, optically triggered slave that I can gel and place inside a woman's handbag or kitchen pot, or hidden behind some other object to add a bit of kicker...

I really like number 3, even though we are shooting up her nostrils from below. Something really charming about this shot! Excellent work! As for #1 and #2 -- which are the same photo -- her neck...

And the plaid shirt, and the striped leggings, and the type on the T-shirt, and the look of complete disinterest on the father...

That's not really possible. These are digital cameras; they do not use film. The difference between f/1.2 and f/1.4 is tiny. No way you'll keep moving heads in focus with either. If you want to...

Could be a 1D III, 1Ds III, or 5D III. More information would be useful. Personally, I like the 1Ds III.

It's easier to blame the apparel than the camera.

It was nice of them to wait until after Roger Ebert's death to do this.

One thing is for sure: It will be vastly overpriced.

Can you get results in LR that you can't in DPP?

"It's" is a contraction of "it is." "Its" is a possessive.

Why drive yourself crazy with all the math, the upsizing, resizing, up-rezzing, etc.? The idea of a big, powerful computer is to have the computer do all the heavy lifting. So, just buy Qimage and...

MikeFromMesa, your reply is very thoughtful and insightful. You are, of course, correct on everything you pointed out. Just to add a bit more history, the demise of WordPerfect (one word, not two)...

Get up on a step ladder or a chair and shoot down at your subject. Lollipop effect of head over shoulders is eliminated Subject looks up at camera, emphasizing eyes Subject looks up, jowls and...

The Buff octa is a paltry 47 inches in diameter. The Elinchrom is 74 inches, a universe of difference. The wrap-around light from the big octa is gorgeous. If I had room for it, I'd put it on my...

I posted this within another thread on 18 January 2012. It seems appropriate that I re-post it here with a slight update... Corel, going all the way back to the days of its founding and ownership...

The older lens has perfectly good optics. It also has a handy 58mm filter thread size, perfect for attaching the macro twin flash. And, since I always use my macro lens on a tripod, there's no need...
