Assuming your working in a color managed environment, what you need is a profile for the printer being used so you can soft proof the image before sending out for prints.

If I were you I'd go strobe, just more flexibility for product and portrait. FWIW, the samples you're showing rely as much on lighting the background as on the front lights. The bottles are sitting ...

Awesome stuff, many thanks! Especially the Rt. 66 info. I've just booked our first night in Kingman to let us drive the scenic route to the GC. Seligman sounds cool, will check it out and say ...

And a short 50 years ago William Eggleston was asking. "I show color photos to lots of folks who just don't understand why I put time into color." Color is certainly more appropriate to what ...

Missed this earlier, thx for the response. Itinerary is: Vegas>Grand Canyon>Holbrook>Monument Valley>Moab>Torrey>Boulder>Escalante>Bryce>Page>Springdale>Lake Mead>Vegas Any insights, interesting ...

Tricky one. I'd allot plenty of time to figure out the details before your model arrives. Things that spring to mind for problem solving. 1. Can you light the raindrops separately from the model? ...

Very cool, thanks for posting. Interesting to go through her work chronologically and watch the evolution of her vision. She's been pursuing the same themes continually, just refining, very impressive.

A skilled pro shooter will make excellent images regardless of the equipment at his disposal. The irony is: he'll probably own high end equipment. Why?

Hope OP doesn't mind me glomming onto his thread, but might help him as well. We're leaving for a 3 week trip doing the Arizona and Utah circle tour, hitting all the major sites with 2-3 nights per ...

You need to break your query up into separate categories: retail and commercial. Retail- Fundamental motivator is pride and ego. Commercial- Fundamental motivator is "the boss* told me to." *could ...

The problem is the same with all LED's, not enough power, especially when diffused over an area as large as 12"x72". I've got a couple Aputure Light Storm LS 1S and Dracast panel units and they ...

Best bang for the buck would be something like a Lowell Tota-Light, but you're diffusion material needs to be very heat resistant. After that you're probably into LED systems but you'd need ...

Very nice, I like the way the sky masses down on the tiny dwelling below. Only suggestion I'd try is a little contrast boost in the back left of the land area. Giving the darks in that area a ...

Maybe a tad overdone, but I felt they needed some drama and visual focus.

I'd want a faster wide lens, but I'm sure you'll do fine with what you have available. You could consider renting a white balance adjustable LED light to create a bit of separation between your ...

Thanks Mike and Rob, I can't decide if these disregards of simple principles are basic lack of knowledge or the usual interwebs chest puffing. Regardless I gotta disengage quicker, too much time ...

I don't tether Panasonic but I do Nikon and it can be pretty tricky when something goes wrong. Couple other thoughts. Replace cable? Usually the first thing I try. On my 15" Mac laptop, only the ...

I was polite until you started with the attitude. I laid out my methodology, asked for specifics and got more snark. Post count cred is your measure.

All the specificity is there. I am measuring exactly what is happening. Can you provide any insight into where my methodology is incorrect?
