She looks like a porcelain doll!! Look out Vogue!!
I was actually contemplating turning the skin tones wayy down to near white to completely get a doll like look, but I have a strong tendency to use warm tones... it was a tough choice but I opted for something I think she'd like more.

I appreciate all the C&C guys. thank you....

All I can say with certainty Don is that's not the way I read the situation.
yeah I can be a little off before I have had my morning pot of coffee....

seems like a chain of possession issue here, perhaps for court purposes they want to prove they got the images unedited/altered right from camera?

still worng to threaten the guy, and then have no photos.

It wasn't about the right to photograph the police Don, it was about having photographed a crime and wanting to help.
I was speaking more to the motivation of why they'd threaten to take his phone... is sounds to me like they asked him to attend the station, becuase they didn't want to be seen or video recorded on the street threatening him....
why else threaten him at all if not to intimidate him from ever doing it again?

read the title of this thread and it sounds like the tactic worked does it not?


People should feel OBLIGATED to record the police to protect civil liberties from being violated by abuses of power by police.

I took pictures of a crime last week. I was asked to provide copies to the local police station.

When I attended the police station they threatened to seize my phone which contained the images. I told them I was not willing for that to happen and would consider that theft - remove from me without my permission.

I then left - as a result they don't have the images.

What would you do? If the result was that your camera or phone would be seized and kept for months?
everybody needs to fight for the right to phottograph the police, it is the only way to keep them honest.

this drone is armed?

I'd mount the go pro to the k-01 and set the k-01 to intervalometer shooting perhaps?
or
use an iphone and wifi-sd card combo with the k-01?...

You shoot indoors at f/8???

Even with a flash on younare going to get blur as the shutter speed will be to low even at iso 800

You really need some fast glass to stop the focus hunting, focal systems need light and f/5.6 lenses are going to restrict the focussing speed, accuracy and your hitbrate as you have found out. Also the k20d is ancient in dslr technology, particulalry its focus speed.
I use the 540fgz on the camera and 2x studio flashes. Shutter speed hardly falls bellow the beloved 1/125. I shoot at M.

Also i never use the k20 indoors.
how do you set up the flash units to deal with the pre-flash of the 540?
