I had some trouble with my RMT-P1BT and A7R V. I set up Bluetooth pairing as described in the post. But it still did not work. The secret is that there is another menu, where Bluetooth remote ...

Mike -- OK, we'll get together in the next week or two. Right now I'm freezing, with relatives in NYC. Back on the 29th. Maybe 1st week of Jan. For others reading this, the reason I prefer to use ...

Mike — In your experience, what is the minimum size for a folding octabox for headshots? I currently have 24-inchers. Are they too small? Can I just move them closer in?

Got one, thanks for the heads up!

To check for spots, use a small aperture (around f/11 - f/22) and a relatively long exposure of 1/2 or 1 second. Aim at a uniformly lit white wall or a clear blue sky. Set ISO so the exposure is ...

I don't believe you can save both a Full Frame and an APS-C crop with one press of the shutter. Note that you can save the same type of file (RAW, JPG or HEIF) to both Card 1 and Card 2, but with ...

Also, are the spots in the same location (when they appear) or are they random. If they are in the same location in all photos then it is probably a lens/sensor thing; definitely related to the ...

Adobe on Dec. 12, 2022 released Adobe Camera Raw 15.1 which (among other things) adds support for Sony A7R V RAWs. This is approximately one week after the A7R V began shipping in the U.S. https:// ...

I work for an event-only studio that Mike (photolando) also works for. The pace can be killer. I did an awards shoot recently where I took a photo of the recipient holding up an ID card with their ...

If I'm understanding what you're doing -- putting a reflector behind the AD200 bare bulb -- this USD $13 reflector is made for that purpose: https://www.adorama.com/fpbdhusl.html According to their ...

I'm not sure what "it" refers to in sentence 2. The older adapter, which is thinner and has 14 magnets, has been discontinued. The bigger thicker adapter, with 6 magnets and a button at the top to ...

Thanks for the info on the memory leak update. Hopefully that will solve the problem I had with running out of memory after processing 100 or so photos.

I think I am your use case! I did another shoot yesterday afternoon, the decor for a large outside party at a resort hotel. No people, just colorful tablecloths, centerpieces, games, stands, etc., ...

The original 14-magnet Godox V1/AD100 mount for the Angler FastBox has been discontinued by B&H Photo as of mid-September 2022. It has been replaced by the new FB-CA adapter. It is thicker (deeper) ...

I work with Mike (photolando). He is a great portrait photographer. His recommendations are right on. I just wanted to add that a white shoot-through umbrella is more disruptive to the event than a ...

That's a good point. I hadn't considered that Topaz PhotoAI isn't built for automatic exposure correction. OK, so my original post should be just about Radiant Photo, and how it works fast and well ...

In the past few days I purchased Topaz Photo AI and Radiant Photo. I tried both of them on a batch of photos and found Radiant Photo to be a clear winner for me, based on both speed and quality. ...

Thank you for this warning. I have the Angler Fastbox and like it a lot. I have used it with my Godox V1. No problem with the magnetic attachment. But this will cause me to be more careful and to ...

As I write this, I am in the midst of saving images up to 34 years old. Specifically, I am backing up videos and JPGs of award-winners in our annual "best laser show" contest, which we have held ...

The OP was asking about mounting on a cheap tripod. (1) If he means a camera tripod , with a 1/4" male screw at the top which goes into the camera bottom, then the Emart Light Bulb Stand would not work ...
