i have been a long time and deep admirer of sebastioa salgados work and i recently came across the documentary of his life and work called The Salt of the Earth. i cannot recommend enough this fantastic portrait of a phenomenally talented man telling a deeply moving story. check it out...

lightning in effect has a built in shutter speed much like a speedlight has. though it pulses, it is still a pretty short duration so considerations for exposure should be more about aperture and ISO. thats why i use 30 secs for lightning shots and i dial in the aperture and ISO to suit the...

Iso 320 F11 30 sec

i have never been impressed with the 85mm 1.8 as i have found its autofocus characteristics to be unreliable and erratic. sometimes it hits...sometimes its way off even though i get AF confirmation. using a 5d3 with it. because of this it is my least used lens. cant speak to the new 50mm 1.8...

i absolutely hate thieves. scumbags.... hope they get caught. this type of thing sickens me.

i'm pretty sure everyone knows that. what is being talked about is that the meter will read a normal exposure with the settings chosen and the files will still be underexposed. what would be great is a way to manually calibrate the meter so that a normal exposure reading would yield a preferably...

Assateague is a small little oddity. typically it is a half day trip for beachgoers who are interested in seeing the horses. it sounds neat, and it is a bit, but it lacks the wow factor imo. but maybe i'm saying that because i live in the area and it is a bit familiar to me. as far as the amish...

You actually can manually create and edit masks in LR.

In photography, the compliment color to red is Cyan, not green. So if you want to tone down reds you need to adjust the cyan slider for reds in LR.

17mm F4 TS 135 F2 and....an 8x10 camera with a 300mm 5.6 and a petzval portrait lens. :)

To me it looks more like a resolution thing. I'm not sure how ACR operates but is it possible that it is using a preview that doesn't reflect the full resolution once opened in Photoshop? I see the extra crunchiness in the file in Photoshop vs the file in ACR. If your new monitor is capable of...

Just an fyi to those outside the U.S. who are interested in planning trips to national parks in the west....San Francisco is the ideal home base to maximize time getting to and having enough time to spend at these national parks. Add in the bonus of Sonoma and Napa valley which are a little over...

if you are going to be in NYC primarily forget about the west coast. way too much travel time to get over there and get to a National Park. you will burn 2 solid days traveling out of the 3 you have allotted. Adirondacks is your best bet. like most national parks, you could spend a week there...

size and spread of the light source can be just as important as size of the modifier. the concern i would have over using too large of a modifier with the 600 EX is weather or not i would get a wide enough and even enough spread of that light to fully take advantage of the modifiers...

as a pro, my approach is to get the right tool that does the job reliably and spend the money once. if that means i pay a higher price to start so be it. what i dont want to run in to is spending alot of time problem solving or find that i got a piece that comes up short in a situation simply...

everything discussed in the video is standard fare. is this really worth a thread? i would have thought this community is well beyond instructional videos about using sliders in ACR.

i have the ABR800 ringflash and though i dont use it as much i do like it. couple thoughts about it from my experience so far: 1. it isn't well equipped to fight strong daylight. at only 320ws its a bit underpowered. i did a quick test some years back and i was underwhelmed. should do fine in...

@ krisbell This may be a silly question, but are you processing these images in ACR to 16 bit files before applying denoising filters in PS? I have experienced horrendous posterization doing such adjustments in 8bit that are enormously improved when staying in 16bit. Just curious

this is how to remove the reddish sunflare in LR: 1. select the brush tool and adjust the brush size so that it appropriately covers the reddish area. make sure all the sliders are dialed to zero. make sure you have a decent feather to the brush and dial back the flow to around 50. 2. brush...

LR shines for event type work. if you have to get through 1000's of images quickly and still want access to ACR then LR is great. not that you cant do other work with it...i just find myself preferring other editors for small volume stuff.
