External hard drive?
As is probably pretty clear, my computer skills are meager (and that's being kind). I do understand that I would need to back up the back up to have a safe copy of the files if I deleted them from the computer, so either yet another external drive or dvds. I just don't want to be in the position whe...

full frame v crop....... numpty question maybe or not.....
First of all you got some bits wrong, sorry to start with that. For APS-C sensor every company use their own sizes but all are roughly the same. Here are the crop factors for APS-C cameras. 1.6× — Canon 1.54× — Pentax K20D, Pentax K-7 1.53× — Pentax (the rest) 1.5× —...

"Fair enough, but it's not the whole story, because digital sensors work best when lenses have a "telecentric" design - that is, the rays of light exit the lens parallel and not obliquely" John...I am afraid that also is not the whole story. The Canon EOS full frame users have spent the last 4 ye...

Shooting in RAW
Should shots in RAW need more sharpening than shots in JPEG? Or, have I messed up?:oops: I went back to photograph the cricket in the park and decided to shoot in RAW as everyone tells me that's the way to go. But, I've noticed they are less sharp than the shots I took a week ago. I used the...

Shooting in RAW
Here's a case in point. I'm still going through the shots, so they may not all be bad, but everyone I opened is soft :oops: I used auto focus to focus on the wicket, then switched to manual focus to lock it on that point. ( Although, this one may have been different as it all happened in a ...

I am noticing from this image that you have a slight back focus issue. If you look slightly in the background you'll see that it is a bit sharper than the men themselve. Just out of interest, are you using multi or centre point focusing. If you are using centre point on a fast lense you may not have...

Shooting in RAW
OK guys. So, some of the shots will be out of focus, not too surprised at that with dull lighting and fast moving targets and others might need more tweaking than I'm used to doing because I normally shoot in JPEG. I generally use centre focusing and I have it set to AF-S to stop the camera "hun...

Lighting from Below like in the Film "Blade Runner"
Blade Runner Lighting…Sort Of In the film Blade Runner, the lighting was strange and beautiful. It was also very challenging to the technicians. Making the actors look good under the type of lighting used was a real feat. Kino Flo lighting was often used and not conventionally. Many of the sh...

From a practical point of view, I wouldn't even worry about it, it'll just give you headaches - spend your time thinking about pleasant things instead :) From a financial point of view, the people who WILL take a copy of your photo would never have bought it in the first place, so what are you ...

copyright
An image is the photographer's property, expressed as Copyright, just as is the text of a book we have written or the content of a film we have made. Some people don't bat an eyelid over stealing what they think is there for the taking, but they may not appreciate that costs and creative input ne...

For the vast majority of us photography theft is just not a problem. And there is the problem, you have just made theft acceptable, so where does it stop? As I said in a post above, the problem is that there is no physical item being stolen, something with an intrinsic value. Digital files are e...

It's a slippery slope, but it's clear that there are plenty of photographers who see no value in their images and as a consequence see nothing wrong with anyone else using them as they wish. I don't know if this means that they themselves would happily use any image they could find without a worr...

I don't condone theft for one moment, and your camera analogy is totally flawed, as another poster has already pointed out. It is not totally flawed. Theft is theft. My objection is to someone taking and using, without my permission, something that is mine. If they came back later and replaced my ...

Recommendations wanted
I have been browsing the forum and I recall reading somewhere that it is essential to have a raw converter that makes a good job with the type of raw file you have. Currently I use DNG format (not PEF). And I use the Camera Raw that comes with CS2. Now, if we only focus on image quality in the en...

Eyes of Laura Mars
Although I can understand what both lemmy and bodyheat try to say, I think a little bit of nuance might be given. If I want to show the blunt reality of a certain view or subject I'll make a video :lol: All depends on what the photog sees or wants his audience to see. As the old painters before u...

I have had a couple of requests to photograph weddings for friends of friends. They have both asked about books. First the disclaimer: They are both budget shoots, they can't afford pro wedding photographers so I am keeping my prices as low as possible but explaining that there will be definite l...

wedding book prices
I personally, have been asked to do a “cut price” wedding shoot, and I have great admiration for the guys who do it “Professionally” I would not do a wedding at any price, far to many things can and do go wrong, a couple of friends do it as a business and the amount of work that has to be done is no...

Good point - insurance - firstly you need to be covered by public liability and secondly photographer's insurance (changed since I did wedding photographs as I was doing film and bowel motions were irregular until the prints and negs arrived back in one piece, now you have to cover equipment failure...
