    Spring Doves

    Very nice composition with the diagonal lines and framing, plus you enjoyed a little good luck with the positioning of the doves. Well done! Congratulations!

    You Sunpak users...& a pic to critique

    When a Sunpak 383 Super is bought new in the box, a 9 inch straight PC-tipped sync cord is included as a standard accessory. This has a male PC tip on one end (which the Wein Peanut optical slave can connect to), and a mini-mini phone plug on the other end - which plugs into the base of the...

    Small Sensor Advantage?

    Cameras with a 4/3rds sized imaging chip inherently produce more depth of field than cameras with larger chips. When compared to a 35mm FF sized imaging chip, and all other things are equivalent, a 4/3rds camera will have about 2 f/stops more depth of field. When working in a studio...

    Looking into buying dual QFlash T5ds

    I have extensive experience using the Quantum T5D and its wireless accessories for Olympus in professional applications. I would be happy to answer any specific questions you have by E-mail.

    Some thoughts on the 2 prototypes

    If the new Olympus "flagship" was just an ordinary dSLR, in the tradition of Canon and Nikon, then displaying wooden mock-ups at trade shows would be just plain silly. For example, has Canon displayed any wooden mock-ups of the 40D which will undoubtedly supplant the 30D one day?. Or has Canon...

    Leica 25mm f/1.4 First Impressions

    Nebo can speak for himself, but since I own and use both the E-1 and E-330 camera bodies I can offer an opinion. First, we must acknowledge that the E-330 employs newer technologies and components than the E-1. Consequently, the E-330 does about everything faster and better. The E-330...

    My Lil' Slugger

    Thanks for bringing up a good point. In my earlier message, I said that when viewing a photo attention is first attracted to the brightest object in the scene. There is an exception to this, described as a "hi-key" image. In a high-key portrait, the background and everything else in the scene...

    My Lil' Slugger

    The essence of good portrait lighting is to make one side of the subject's face brighter than the other. Whether it was done deliberately or by accident, you have accomplished that here - so congratulations! Now, if one side of the subject's face should be brighter than the other - which side...

    Leica 14-150!!

    My guess is that the E-410 camera body is intended to be the foundation for the next Panasonic/Leica DSLRs, and thus, in-body IS would be redundant. And if this is true, then maybe the Lumix/Leica version will provide an accessory battery grip, PC connector, and various other upgrades to justify...

    Any Olympus P-1 price guess?

    Why do you think I would be privy to that information? Are you implying that there isn't enough room? Panasonic makes a 3-CCD video camcorder which is the size of a pack of cigarettes, the SDR-S150: Of course, this is not a DSLR, but since Olympus and and Panasonic are sharing technology...

    Any Olympus P-1 price guess?

    When Olympus introduced the 5 megapixel E-1, every other DSLR manufacturer had a 6 megapixel model available - which was priced lower than the E-1. Thus, the market greeted the E-1 with howls of "too little, too late!" Should we assume that Olympus would make the same mistake twice? 10...

    Quantum Battery Pack

    The least expensive way to get fast recycling times, and by that I mean 1 second in full-power, manual mode, is to use the JTL high voltage battery pack. This will require the Quantum CO5 cable for the FL-50 flash unit, and 4 AA-sized batteries must be in the flash unit's battery chamber...

    Quantum Battery Pack

    The Xenon gas inside the flash tube requires 330 volts to become a conductor of electricity, thus, all electronic flash units need 330 volts to produce light. The four AA-sized batteries produce 6 volts nominal, which is increased to 330 volts by step-up transformers. The high voltage is stored...

    Son's portrait with a smile.... (1img.)

    I'd say your portrait lighting for this subject was a success. The essence of portrait lighting is to make one side of the subject's face brighter than the other - and if you can do no more than that, then 90% of the work in regard to lighting is done. Most (human) subjects look better with...

    Archival DVD's . . ?

    As best I can determine, the brand which has the best reputation for manufacturing quality and archival permanance is Taiyo Yuden. An article worth reading can be found at this link: http://adterrasperaspera.com/blog/2006/10/30/how-to-choose-cddvd-archival-media/
