Nothing quite like the original...

Alan7140 posted a topic in Topics,

I admit to finding some amusement in many Facebook photography groups reading peoples' posts on their quests to obtain lenses with "classic bokeh" (for want of a better description) for their digital cameras,  and manufacturers responding with increasingly more pricey and exotic lens designs...

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm F4-5.5 II Power OIS: the affordable bird-watcher super zoom lens!

danielm posted a topic in Topics,

Is the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm F4-5.6 II Power OIS zoom lens the ultimate super telephoto for less than $900CAN? A look into the latest Panasonic MFT lens line-up seems to confirm this assertion. But what about the qualities of this specialized telephoto zoom lens?

And yet another modification...

Alan7140 posted a topic in Topics,

I can't express adequately just how convenient and easy it is to modify some of the older film equipment in ways one couldn't even begin to contemplate with modern digital cameras. This sort of thing was standard practice when I started photography as a profession in the early 1970's.

Using The iPad Pro As A Laptop

Using The iPad Pro As A Laptop

Dallas posted an entry in Personal Views On Equipment,

So, I have gone a little bit googly-eyed over my iPad Pro 11". At first, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t loving it all that much and it didn’t take long for buyer’s remorse to set in when I got it home.

Learning how to use tools again

Alan7140 posted a topic in Topics,

Rediscovering the thing that went missing with digital as far as modifying and re-hashing the actual equipment is concerned, the old cameras really do enable a hands-on ability to shape things the way you want without having to have a degree in computer science or electronics.

Life in 16mm (w/Fujinon XF16mm F2.8 R WR lens)

danielm posted a topic in Topics,

Seeing life with a more wide angle of view is not rare thing but for many it may be a photographic higher challenge compare to the more selective view of a telephoto lens. Yes there is already a lot of landscape (nature or urban) aficionados around the who are producing striking pictures so why limit the use o a wide angle lens to that specialized purpose?

Shooting Commercial Interiors

Dallas posted an entry in My Life In Photography,

It seems that my name is being passed on to the right people. I was commissioned this week to photograph a private college campus for an architectural design firm based down in Cape Town and I was really excited to finally work directly with an architect, especially one from another city (bodes well for the future).

Losing A Regular Photography Gig

Last year was a pretty good year for me on the work front. This year started off well too, but then I went away on safari and came back on 1 July to find that my main photography gig had pretty much disappeared from under my nose.

The Rise Of Computational Photography

The Rise Of Computational Photography

Dallas posted an entry in Personal Views On Equipment,

Let’s just say you, like me, make money out of photography by being able to do things with cameras and software that non-experienced photographers firstly have no clue on how to do, and secondly don’t have the patience to be able to learn. It’s a good situation for us to to be in, because we are filling a need that this other person has and of course we can charge them for these skills we have developed. But what if something came along that enabled that non-experienced person to produce images that are very close to what we can create with our skillset?

Photographing The Modern Wedding

Dallas posted an entry in My Life In Photography,

I’ve got a big problem with the way weddings are being photographed these days and it’s for various reasons that I don’t offer wedding photography as part of my services. The number one issue I have with it is that it’s not about the wedding anymore. It’s about this monster that wedding photographers have come to call “the creative shoot”.
