Hey, don't feel bad. I did the same thing last year when I was trying to shoot flowers with my 70-200 - I thought for sure there was something wrong with it.

Yeah, I forgot where I had set that switch on my 100-300 this weekend and I thought I was having problems too.

Just a quick "props" to Lon at FlashZebra. I ordered a set of Cybersyncs last week (prompted by my low-light shooting at a party), and needed some hardware and an adapter for my 430EX. I ordered the stuff Friday...just got home from work, and it's already here.

Hopefully the CS will follow soon. I can't wait to start experimenting with off-camera flash.

Quick one from today. It was just above freezing today. Models were out there just suffering from the cold, there was no way I was making them do swimwear. I'm trying out a different kind of toning for these shots, there are better, but I liked this one enough to experiment with it first:

You're much nicer than Mpowered.

But at least he gave her an umbrella... LOL.

PGe, not too sure about the magenta cast on the white shirt...but, maybe that's what you were goin' for? I dunno. And the red seems a bit much, too. Otherwise, nice.

beautiful! what do you use to stitch pano's together?

Hey all, it's time for us to show our friend Perry some moral support!

His old thread "Wah wah my 430 is malfunctioning" was dying a quiet, ignominous death, and a mod announced he was closing it for lack of interest, when Perry found out and single-handedly succeded in getting it resurrected.

The original thread is here:

https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=455916

And, you can see how Perry skillfully managed to manipulate the mods into reopening his thread here:

https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=670022

Soon after, and I'll take a little credit, the original thread got moved from the flash group to the Lounge, where a whole new gang of forumers can catch the fun!

for that pano i just used photomerge in cs4. i usually use photostitch, but i wanted to see how it came out, and it looks good to me, and made my workflow much easier.

I had read that thread before, but never made the connection. Did the mods really give him the Energizer bunny avatar? I imagine if they did, it's unchangeable, like the "title" thing.

I can't gloat by any means though. I've made stupider mistakes, and continue to on a weekly basis.

I'm not really seeing that here, Manish. The magenta cast, maybe? Looks pretty white at the collar though. And I'm not seeing the red problem? Unless you mean his face; it looks a bit red.

Time to calibrate the monitor?

I love her expression.

man I have the worst luck .. At least this past few days has been rough on me .. 1st one of my Primes L not going to say which one becaue you guys will shoot me .. anyways it broke in half because my dumb ass didnt secure the tripod and today while shooting the the AB stand flip and broke one of my AB800 in half ...

anyways, good? overdone? Not working? Get some skills dude?

I calibrated mine the other day, after the shoot. Where I see the cast is along his shirt, by her face. It's a slight purple color, and carries through on the shirt, although faint. As for the red, he could just be a very 'red' person..but, noticeably his ear, and arm...but, maybe they just are that color.

That's all I see...but, maybe it's his attempt at cross-processing colors...so, I'm not sure. Perry will have to divulge some more info. here.


Rikan Havok, sucks to hear about your gear. I hate the effects of wind on lightstands. This is why I now lug bags of rocks, and set them down on the legs of the stand. Sucks to have to do it, but, it's the only way I know. While the Sun is good, within the shot, and she's exposed properly...I dunno if the Sun is a bit much? Anyone else care to comment on that?

man I was trying to rig the entire thing, but then I took the umbrella of and said screw it .. I didn't think the wind was strong enough to just tip the light stand but it happen .. I will learn from this experience and invest in some portable sand bags or something .. I'll call PCB tomorrow and see what can they do .. they are under a month old which really sucks man ...

Anyways about the picture .. you don't like it cause the suns is to strong? is cool just say so .. .. everyones opinion is value .. I have like 50 shoots and I don't like many .. I was shooting with a ab400 after that happen and wasn't to happy with the lighting ...

this was a horrible picture on the 5D screen but when I came home it looked decent ..

I just think that the model gets lost in the Sun spot. Maybe if she had it half covered? I like the processing, and all...just not 100% on the Sun spot, yet. I'm still thinkin'

Well, all, have a great night. Time for some sleep...and another day tomorrow.
