MANFROTTO>ALL!!!!!!! ha ha

 

tripod can also turn 90 degrees L and locks in place and feels sturdy doing that too

 

something recent...day 120

 

that's an insane picture!

 

 

 

Don, now tell them how long u had to sit there to get that shot and how many shots it took. ha ha

 

 

nice shot

 

I got 2 Danboards recently (the normal & the mini)
Awesome little guys, and their eyes light up.



Two static LED light sources with white cloth for diffusion (one camera left, one above the bonsai) and a black cloth backdrop.

 

Don, Jon, Others... link to a guide on how to batch border and watermark images?

thanks!

 

i sat in that spot for about 45 minutes....another shot for about 45 minutes and another for about an hour....took about 300-350 shots of hummingbirds

 

got the batch watermark, but cant get batch bordering, i use the stroke command to border now, trying to automate that. should i border via another method for automation?

 

Wow..FF is freakin' WIDE!

got it all figured out. thank god. now to start actually editing pics from the wedding, i managed to stall for a few hours. i had a friend tell me that if she likes the style/outcome of the shoot shes pay me to do her wedding. i thought that was pretty cool since she lives closer to a mutual friend who is a much better (IMO) photographer then i.

to the pros on here, how long is your usual turn around time from event to handing over photos?

 

I am in Istanbul.





More to come, I'm here for a month

 

istanbul is pretty cool. enjoy the picture taking. im sure you will.

 

 

It's a pretty cool place. This is the second full day I've been here, and I'm starting to take my camera around a little more. I haven't had it with me much yet because I wanted to get familiar with the area I was in and such, get a feel for the culture, before busting it out. It's pretty apparent I am a tourist just from my skin tone, though, so it's not like a camera is that big of an addition. I just wanted to be careful with it.

Here's a pano from a cafe I was at during dinnertime yesterday. The city is very, very dense.

 

i've spent quite some time in Turkey. it is a very interesting place, FULL of history. i really enjoyed places like Tarsus and Kizkalesi and reading about all of it's history after seeing what is still there today. the people are overall, VERY friendly. but this friendliness seems very often financially motivated which i completely understand seeing the living conditions. i dont think i ever went anywhere without my camera around my neck and shoulder and i never once felt like i shouldnt have had it with. the majority of people i photographed did not seem to mind their pictures being taken, maybe only a few strange looks here and there but that just goes with taking candid pictures of people sometimes. doesnt bother me. i wouldn't worry about your appearance in terms of "should i bring my camera out?"... everyone seems to understand that tourists take pictures lol. just like im sure they would take pictures if they were visiting another country. almost everyone was very friendly about it and nobody was outwardly unfriendly.

i would just hate for you to miss a lifelong memory moment because you chose not to bring your camera that day out of some sort of worry. i know it really bothered me when it has happened. i have fallen victim to this in the past and now never let it happen. you will NEVER get that moment back. it now comes with me EVERYWHERE, EVERYTIME. it pays off when you least expect it and then, you are very thankful.
