Its fun , its taxing, its weird. Took part in 2001 and 2002, was selected in both years for final cut. I think everyone should try this as it is a very excercise in your personal work. its not picture perfect quality they are after - its pictures with a content, a meaning a point ...u need...

The photos in the link show a very good grasps of lighting, composition, use of lens and fstops to achieve effects, and most probably super control on PS work. Example look at the little boy in Shine - very good use of a traditional technice of wide open with the 85/1.8, good use of side...

I looked the Nikon general catalog last week they have an eyecup adaptor that fits into the D70 with a thread end - I think this will fit into the DR4 which is findable if you look. Yeah downside is the DR4 does not have a zoom in function. but still its better than nothing if u have one on hand.

Safra's old studio had let see 2 x 500 wats of the new elinchrome flashes and an old 1600 bowens. Soft boxes and umbrellas avaialble. The 2 main cons about renting from them are the hours - basically its office - week day night is in theory possible but you need to do advance booking. Sat...

suggest that reading the fine print for the home insurence cover - if I'm not wrong there is a cap on value of claim per item - its normally under a 1000 and of course there is that question of market value at point of damage or loss or theft. Very iffy when it comes time to squeeze money out of...

Its a sweet looking beasty but the price is a little stiff. if you need it now now then its time to buy buy. If not wait a little as more players come into the game the products will improve and prices will drop - u just have to look at the portable storgage devices to see this.

The Gemini is dam siok. Its compact at least its thinner the X drive, screen seem very decent. But as always every thing comes at a price.

A lot of depends here. 1. since its a ring there is a maximum diameter involved. should the lens fileter diameter be bigger than the ring flash then there is not way you are going to be able to mount this. Its mounted on a female thread to male thread with the male thread going fitting into...

dats the trouble with street photo - u are free to piont yr camera where u want but people are also free to protest verbal or otherwise. Dats why the season true street photog shoot with range finders, shoot fast keep moving. Not with drsl's and 3 -6 lens.

Sigh although I think I am talking to a wall here. The job description was to cover a wedding - that means every freaking thing that happens there falls into the realm of the job. I can see you are really really sorry that you could not show your mojo. Please note that even when you tried to...

Ist thing first - I caution you against using a development time less than 5 minutes. There are good reasons for this which I will not go into. Ignoring that based on your starting point timing figures I would suggest as a starting piont - 5.9 minutes at 24C for 800. I think you will need...

If I read you correctly the main photog even while seemly at rest can materialise and capture the momenet before you can - which means one thing she is doing her job. Some photogs have it in their contracts that there is to be no other photog - this is for various reasons some economical...

interesting to note that the computer almost get it right in most cases. Exposure is about there but need tweeking to make it go from good to excellent. Other areas really need work - it appears the tent is not as good as it could be or is it operator error. Pictures are good starting...

Our local laws is bias towards other intellectual property rights. We do not have a registration system like the US which was put in to help in this situation - in civil suites there is high burden of proof from copyright owner -from proving ownership to even that you have suffered loss. Bad...
