Wow, this is a old thread from 2008! Since then there is Set-A-Light - which does 3D modeling and export for jpegs/printing.  I love this app - wonderful 3D modeling, pick your studio size, ...

And I'm not seeing any in use. Mike

Yes, I was concerned about the same.  The IPS is great.

I just bought and set up a Lenovo P16 16" Gen 2 workstation laptop - and I'm in LOVE: Core™ i9-13980HX Processor (E-cores up to 4.00 GHz P-cores up to 5.60 GHz), Windows 11 Pro, NVIDIA RTX™ 3500 ...

My Nikon Coolpix 990 is only 3.34MPs (still works great). I used it to produce beautiful 12x18" prints for a gallery showing in 1999/2000 and one of the images was published in a photography ...

Is that you Veruca Salt?

I also prefer the Tamron 35-150mm 2.0-2.8. First, it offers 2.0 at the wide to normal focal length and 2.8 for the rest. Plus, 120mm is too slightly too short for event work - 150 really works well...

Hi Mike, got you message as well as Central's. Several good points were made in this thread. I responded to Central privately but will also post my response here FWIW. I'll not debate why to shoot ...

Looks like you've got some HSS fill going on, and if so, what are you using? Mike

I still have and still use my Coolpix 990 - one truly amazing camera even after all these years. It still produces great images - even with its little 3.4MP sensor. It was the Zeiss lens that made ...

Ah, the old disposable camera light trick - gotta love it!

The plan is WAY more complex than need be. First off, we're talking several hours, so I'd go with AC power and avoid battery powered strobes all together for an indoor shoot with artificial light. ...

I have PL6 now and just starting to use it.  Does one with PL need PR too? Mike

It will expand to ISO 102,400 above the 'standard' range. I was shooting +1 exposure comp in the image I posted here later on, so I'm assuming I was really shooting at 51,200 as a result. Mike

Yes, somewhat more. I would do better using DxO PL - but this was as I said, a quick and dirty edit. The real loss of detail was from blur shooting at only 1/1000 sec - that's still just a bit too ...

That's awesome. I just took a few casual snaps at rodeo as a spectator from the stands with my Z9 at night under poor outdoor arena lighting. I was shooting the Z100-400 from clear across the ...

It already has Elvis detection, but I'm still waiting for samples - I'm all shook up :-P

Yes, not a budget machine, but around $7K for all that power and capability. M.
