Default What type of camera is this?
I was just browsing through diff. photographers site, and I found this one's site....if you click on "About" and click on "Watch...in action." you can see she uses some camera with some square-ish thing on the lens (I do not know the technical name for this at all, lol, so bear with me...)
http://www.peggysirota.com/

What is that? Just curious..

Thanks a bunch...

Looks like some flavor of a Mamiya RZ.

And yes, that is some awful website she's got going on there. Someone needs to tell her developer not everyone uses as 30" LCD and doesn't like to have their browser window dynamically resized.

The square thing on the camera is a compendium lens shade, it's adjustable for different focal length lenses and can be used to hold masks for vignetting and special effects as well as filters.

haha, i dont think it's crap but man it's way too overdone. They took the rules of graphical design and went WAY TOO FAR!

lol! Well yes, I dont really like the site design at all....
But anyways, thanks breal101!
Btw, if that's all that its used for, can't you just do vignetting in PS/LR, or just have filters on a lens? Just curious.

Back in the film days we had to do things in camera, vignetting, multiple exposures and such. It also made it possible to use just one set of filters for all lenses.

i guess i'll be the outlier...i don't see what the big deal w/ the site is, in terms of others' gripes. her photography is very well executed, and it's easy to navigate.

breal101, thanks.
Do digital photographers still use something like this today? I could have sworn I've seen recent videos of photoshoots where a photog had something like that on the camera...?


narlus, I understand....
Well what kinda threw me off was the first page....pix just change all quickly I had to think of whether or not I had to wait for something to happen or if I had to click on it. I dont like going to sites where I have to figure **** out.

But damn, she's shot a lot of wonderful photos, so who am I to talk?

If they're using MF digital it would still make sense to have a compendium shade. I always felt it was a better shade than the dedicated ones for each lens. I'm not sure but they probably originated in the movie industry, you see them used on Panavision cameras all the time.

I agree with narlus, the site is just a little different, she does great work. I certainly wouldn't argue with her success.

For those of you criticizing her website... I agree with you but she's doing something right. Did you see who some of the people were she was shooting in the video? Rosanne Barr, Woody Harrelson, Jason Priestly, etc...
