Denise,


One thing you might try is to buy a big teddy bear. I use one to test a set up all the time. It sits very still and doesn't get impatient if I'm not happy and spend time fiddling around....

Bryan,


Loved it !!

Very similar work profile and I'm looking to upgrade early in the new financial year (July here in Australia). Your comments give every reason to be confident I'm doing the right thing. I especially...

Couldn't make the "edit" function work but here are the photos re-sized to fit.

Yeah, I noticed that. The photos were cropped to 900 x 600, which is apparently too wide.


Can anyone tell me if I can edit the original post to replace the chopped photos or even delete it and...

Here are a few of mine. My commercial work is almost entirely indoors, but I do enjoy shooting a bit of sports for fun.


The Chinese entry in the A! GP race at Eastern Creek in Sydney.

Here's two of mine. Not commercial, these are my grandson.

I live in Sydney and know a good rental place here - not much help to you.

I like the "covered in paint" phot very much - it's got quite a bit of character. The other not so much (even without the added pasties).


There may well be people here to give you better...

Harold,


Regarding your points/questions of 22 November:

Manual focus - no. I'd use AI Servo but certainly one of the AF modes. My point was to set the focus point on the eyes rather than the...

They are very well done.


Please post the exif data - speed, aperture, iso, lens, etc - for our reference.


If I did anything to them I might increase the colour saturation a bit. In real...

A couple of suggestions/observations:

I always set the focus point on the eyes. I find that if the eyes are absolutely focussed the picture has the overall impression of being well focussed.

Absolutely amazing.

Not a lot of use if you live in the USA, but I carry much of my gear - light stands, tripods, umbrellas, etc, etc - in a cricketer's gear bag. A type of long duffle bag they are designed to hold...

OK, I've got both lenses. I tend to use the 24-70 on the1D much more when I'm doing paid work, but I tend to use the 24-105 on the 5D when I'm just out taking photos for myself. The 5D with 24-105 is...

The "rest of the world" knows the original Disneyland as LA, as distinct from Florida, Paris, Tokyo ...


Yes, it is in Anaheim but to most people that is part of greater LA


As for the...

Ah, these posts are always good to stir up the dust a bit - all in good fun of course. [H]


In the 1980's the gyroscopes and their power supply would have been bigger than the camera and the...

I had the opportunity to spend a few days in the "top end" and naturally took my camera. After all what does a photographer do on holidays? Tucks the camera under the arm and takes photos.

George,





All five of those cars were taken at 1/200th second (on Tv) For a race car that is slow enough to give some background blur and blur the wheels to give the sense of motion. The...

Just noticed the shape. These were 900x600. I thought I'd saved them as 600x400. Hence the "chopped" noses as the site crops them to 800 wide. My mistake in not noticing the size.

OK, I'll play.


Here's four Ferrari's and (just to be provocative) a Lamborghini.


Taken at the practice day for the Australian round of the A1 GP series at Eastern Creek Raceway, in western...

A couple of my picks. (Both are holiday snaps. What do photographers do on holidays? They take photos of course!)


This is Serena, a rare white tiger. Photographed through glass so I wasn't...

These are two of my favourites.


The first comes from just a simple job - shooting people attending a luncheon. Many were groups, this gent was alone. The occasion was a presentation in August...

Personally I use Noiseware (www.imagenomic.com) and have done so for ages. It is the competitor to Noise Ninja and at the time I looked at both products but chose Noiseware. I really couldn't comment...

My two bodies are a 1D MkIIN and a 5D, the original one (that I guess is now being called a Mk I).


Indoors I'll generally have the 24-70 f2.8 on the 1D and either the 85 f1.2 or the 70-200 f2.8...
