about an hour and a half outside of orlando, looks like alot of small towns on the way once you get off of i-4.

if anyone want to get together we can take my beast wagon

If I was in Orlando then I would, Sadly I'm not.

geez cam. that's like, photo book level stuff. the lighting looks so good for just being natural light.... did you do anything intentional, or was the room just really well lit?

We were outside and they just happened to be sitting under a tarp so it allowed the perfect amount of light in. I cant wait to try and work with more of these guys

Holy frack Erick, that picture really suits your style of editing. Love it

Taken with 20mm Canon FD Lens f/2.8 // FD~EOS ADAPTER // Canon 550D

[Chrith]

never heard of an 22mm FD. more info on it?

[ELY89]

Canon FD Mount Lens are for the old SLR non-digital cameras. Yet, they still are able to be mounted onto Digital SLRS but with the right adapter.

Canon FD mount Lenses are the traditional manual focus lenses.



But with the adapter attached, I'd leave the camera's setting on TV (canon) for Time Value. The shutter speed, ISO, WB are all set with the camera's settings. The only thing that is manual is the focus and aperture opening. Still works like a charm. =)

[Chrith]

yeah i know, never heard of a 22mm canon though. whatre the specs on it?

[ELY89]

^^Ouch! hang on. Typo error. It's actually 20mm FD f/2.8 ..typo typo

Dad asleep with the morning paper.

[ELY89]

[SACTO skim]

Thanks! On a side note a simple side shot of the S5. I just really liked the glow on the rotor

21 dollar wireless flash sync. has pretty good following, and a couple DIY sites if it breaks. might have to get me one of these

[SACTO skim]

Thanks for posting that! Time to make a few purchases

[Chrith]

theres a newer version out v5 that has hot shoes on the transmitter for fill flash. so tempted to get this and a cheapo strobe.

in mousey news

[SACTO skim]

Since were on topic, whats a good decently priced flash? (can't spend too much as for paying for a new car haha)

Also that mouse shot is great, I really like how the mids are slightly hot, did you make the house?

[Chrith]

haha yeah, Popsicle sticks and hot glue.

[SACTO skim]

I want a mouse now, thanks.

Any of the old nikon sb series(24-26) are highly reccomended flashes by people that shoot not only nikon but canon etc. They make good slaves and are very flexible. I personally have an sb-24 and its great plus it only cost me like 20$, stay away from vivitar 2800d,the vivtar2800 is fine because it can fry your camera, and the sb-##dx series if you do get a nikon flash because they are crap. Any top of the line flashes from canon and nikon are going to be good. here is a good website that can teach you a lot about flash and off camera flash. sunpak makes some good flashes too.

in the strobist website there is a link to another website that sells pretty cheap lighting equipment.
edit - the other website is midwest photo exchange

anyone know any good lenses in the 18-70 mm range for a canon? I have a 50 mm but it's become more annoying than useful

Yongnuo's are pretty much Canon replica's (i think they just went through a lawsuit with Canon too lol) I'm planning on getting one very soon.

Oh nice, may just snag that up! I don't mind copies of major companies Would it be compatible with the CowbowStudio trigger that Chrith posted?

[ELY89]

I just got me a Canon 420EX lens for $159.99.



E-TTL, swivel, and can be set as slave on different channels. As my first flash, for anyone that owns a Canon, I highly recommend it if you come across it. Inexpensive but effective for a general purpose flash.

[Chrith]

Oh nice, may just snag that up! I don't mind copies of major companies Would it be compatible with the CowbowStudio trigger that Chrith posted?

pretty much any flash will work with that. as long as its under 12v firing

[TheSeaCowww]

not sure, but it works with my Cactus v5's I just got. theyre also inexpensive (but not 20 bucks inexpensive) but reliable

[SACTO skim]

Oh thanks I'll definitely look into that! Once I get my flash set up I will be taking a bunch of less than perfect test shots haha..
On a side note another car shot.. Played around with a slight bleach by pass look... Pretty much just came out with a blue hue haha

SACTO have you heard of smugmug.com ? I would recommend that as a place to offload your best pictures. U get a 14 day trial but your photos can be stored with copyrights and at high quality.

[SACTO skim]

Yeah I have definitly thought about it, but I never thought I could make enough sells to make it worth it. Would I pay per month or per upload?

[Gabriel Keenan]

i think it would worth for you trevor!



what do you people think about this one? i took it in Brussels and i never saw one photo like this.
is it so much cliche or not?

[tommygallagher]

the buildings almost seem too dark. Its still really good though.

this was taken 2 months after the horizon. i caught an illusion under the red rig. notice the horizon sinks because of the heat from the manifold. this photo is the bj. blue dolphin pumping barite to the rig at ground zero.
i have some insane photos of the horizon while sinking on an extra hard drive ill have to pull it out ans share it would blow minds how close we were... the temperature on the vessels hull was at 125 degrees and around 400 meters away from the rig
