Exactly true - and I've always really disliked the phrase "Good Samaritan". Think about it: That story labeling someone a good Samaritan implies that anyone from Samaria is an a$$hole who wouldn't...

I agree with pretty much everything that's been posted so far. I've had to shoot some high-end receptions like this, including one for Yo-Yo Ma, and it isn't my usual thing either.Your 50mm is your...

A little OT and probably late, but if you are planning on taking a small tripod or monopod in a carry-on bag, think twice if you are going to be going through airport security in Milan. They will...

Extremely useful feature. Use it. I would think you'd want to lower that setting on the flash rather than the camera, especially if you're using auto flash settings. Your choice, but I'd suggest...

Huh? Wouldn't that be 1/25th? And does the asterisk mean something?And I thought the rule of thumb was to shoot at 1 over the focal length - in your example that would be 1/50th (for FF sensor).John

There is nothing in this world as selfish, demanding and self-entitled as a North American pre-schooler. Especially if they're yours.You want loyalty, unconditional love, repect and obedience? Get...

Of course we all started somewhere - that was 40 years ago for me. What you don't mention is that we all made mistakes, some really horrible ones if we were doing things properly. With your...

The opposite of CTO is CTB - Colour Temperature Blue, but it sounds like you already have that range covered?
To be precise for this you may need to get a little more 'granular' . For starters,...

Nice concept, well executed re: posing,props, set dec, costumes, etc. Not big on the cropping if that's your final. I'd include more of the helicopter in any final crop. Let the image breathe. And...

Ah, but not so. Not "all went off at the same time." That's what makes it interesting.Watch a video where you can see multiple barges firing. The shells are fired in sequence, possibly the correct...

Nice shot. The first criteria for any food photo should always be "Does this photo make me want to eat that thing?" In this case, the answer is yes.Re: the colour balance - maybe it's being served...

Anyone who's shot either for work or assignments has either taken on or been surprised by a situation outside their experience or preparation. Hubris, and a real or imagined set of large stones...

A window's only a window until you block it. That's all that's needed, and then you have some control over the lighting. The facility management may have something to say about what those...

Okay, a tux may be a wee bit overdressed for most weddings, royalty excepted.However, if you can get away with less than a jacket, tie and dress pants and still keep getting high-paying gigs, more...

...and I assume you build that business cost into your rates? And you claim it as a tax-deductible expense? That's what a good businessperson does, n'est pas?John

This is the way to go. '86' the LEDs unless you plan on shooting video. Gel the speedlites to tungsten balance - many of the newer ones include this gel in the purchase price. Your base exposure...

And of course, the more light you will lose until it becomes unusable. And the edge will never get 'knife edge' sharp without a lens of some kind focusing it.John

Interesting info - thanks. I have two of the SPACE units.I've recently discovered the local battery specialist as a great alternative resource, as I've rebuilt a couple of Roomba batteries. Not...

I know YOU know it, but just to clarify one point you forgot to include about the Sunny 16 rule. "Set the shutter speed to 1 over ISO" So you are assuming an ISO of 100.For anyone who doesn't know...
