Studio Portraits in a Lounge

I started off with a couple of 500W cool light soft boxes and reflector but found I was limited on theÂ camera speed and often produced perfectly focussed but blurred shots; I had thought that models would stand still, but the girls wanted to jump around.

SoÂ I progressed on to a 3ft umbrella with a SB800, SB600 and a couple of old Vivitar flashgun on remotes which all work great, usually! The flashÂ with umbrella certainly stopped the motion but sent light everywhere and I struggled to light the background separately in such a cramped space.Â You can see some of the results of this on myÂ Blog and Website

So, how to to stop sending light everywhere? I now I have a soft box attachment for the SB800 and findÂ that I can control the direction of the light a lot better.

I liked the umbrellaÂ with teenagers who wanted to bop around. It seemed to light them pretty well no matter what angle they were at and the softbox was more useful for headshots.

I used a flash, high up behind the model to put highlights in the hair or to rim light them against a dark blackground. I have also added a pringles tube, covered in black tape, as a snoot, and foam cards to act as flags to stop the flash at the back from giving glare in the camera lens.

I found using theÂ menu on the Nikon D300 to control the flashes was cumbersome and now use theÂ SU800 Commander unit which sits on the hotshoe and is much quicker to use.

With all this kit I have enough to experiment with and am constantly learning. It is beginning to amaze me just how tilting a light this way or thatÂ way really affects how the photographs look. I have read a lot but doing it in practise is whereÂ I amÂ really learning whatÂ I read means.

I am not sureÂ what advantages studio lighting will give meÂ but I still have so much to learn and explore with the equipment I already have.Â If I need more space then I will hire a local hall.

What have being your experiences with the Nikon d300?

admin — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 08:38:48 +0000

I’m considering getting the Nikon d300. I was wondering what users could tell me of their experience.

I still have to write up a standard answer, as more and more people are asking…

I have had mine since December 2007. I got the D200 in January 2006, so I used that for almost two years before getting the D300. As great as the D200 is, the D300 is a phenomenal improvement. The D300 is now $500 more than the D200 and I would say that it is worth every penny of that.

You can read reviews everywhere by now, but the major difference is obviously the switch to the CMOS sensor and the new Expeed processor. Both are great moves for Nikon. The camera has excellent image quality, exceptional low-light performance, and very fast auto-focus. It has many features that make it easier to use faster than the D200. Live view is not something that you will use the same way it is used in a point and shoot camera, but when it is appropriate, it is a major enhancement. I appreciate the ability to show the top LCD info on the reaer LCD. It’s much larger and easier to see. If the camera is on a tripod, this feature along with live view really make your life easier. There is an in-camera dynamic range booster called "Active D-Lighting" that helps with unevenly lit subjects and scenes. It’s not the same as shooting HDR, but it is a step in that direction. I could go on for an hour about all the features, but it has a 400 page user manual! That tells you something.

See the review in PopPhoto where the by-line says, "…pushed the D300 to new performance records in the Pop Photo Lab." http://www.popphoto.com/cameras/4911/camera-test-nikon-d300.html

See Michael McNamara’s editorial on digital surpassing film in the March 2008 issue of Popular Photography and see how highly he praises the Nikon D3 and D300. If people keep saying this kind of stuff about the camera, it’s going to start selling at a $200-500 premium…

See the dpreview.com review where the D300 where they conclude, "There’s simply no better semi-professional digital SLR on the market."
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond300/

See Ken Rockwell’s review where he says, "The Nikon D300 is the world’s best amateur camera."
http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d300.htm

I must say that I have not read a bad review on the D300 yet. Practically the only complaint I’ve read is that it is so hard to find something to complain about!

Beginning Photography Tips For Buying a Camera

admin — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:16:00 +0000

When I purchased my first digital SLR camera I was given a great beginning photography tip: don’t buy more than you need. I was a beginning photographer who had never tried a film SLR camera, who didn’t know the definition of aperture, and who basically didn’t know much at all. I ended up purchasing the Nikon D50, which was Nikon’s introductory digital
SLR at the time, and I am very glad I did.

I have spent a few years learning the basics of digital photography and for the first year or so I
almost never felt that I needed more than what my Nikon D50 has to offer. Of course, now I am ready to move up to a model with more features, but
had I paid for those features initially I would have wasted several hundred, if not thousands, of dollar on features I never would have used.

Had I not listened to that beginning photography tip I probably would have purchased the Nikon D100, which was an amazing camera at the time. I would have spent at least one thousand more dollars, had a heavier camera, and had a few more features.

However, today I would still be wanting to
upgrade my six megapixel Nikon D100 to the newer and much better Nikon D300 or the Nikon D3. I’m not saying that those who purchased the D100 back then made a mistake by any means. It is a great camera. What I’m saying is that for me, purchasing it would have been a mistake because I would not have used the additional features that the D50 does not have.
Learning how to use a digital SLR camera takes time, especially if you are a complete beginner in the photography world.

You have to learn what aperture, ISO, white balance, shutter speed, f-stop, focal distance, and
many other things mean. And then, after knowing the definition of those terms, you have to learn how to manipulate them and how they work together to help you take and create great photographs. More simple, entry-level cameras are designed just for this purpose to help you learn the basics.

You can spend around $500 and get a great beginner camera that will enable you to learn the fundamental principles of photography. And the best part about buying a entry-level camera is that you generally don’t sacrifice much at all on the most important aspect of photography, the picture quality. I have seen amazing prints from both introductory-level digital SLR’s and pro-level cameras and many times I cannot tell the different.

In fact, if you read many photographer blogs, you will find out that most professional photographers do not just have one camera, they almost always
have a backup camera, and that backup camera is usually an entry level digital SLR just like the one I purchased.

So, remember this great beginning photography tip: if you are a beginning photographer, then start with a introductory DSLR. Then, when you understand how to use aperture and ISO and shutter speed together, you
will be ready to upgrade to a newer, better camera. You will never regret it.

How do I take apart the Nikon D300 monitor for cleaning?

admin — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:00:43 +0000

I got some smudge marks on the inside section of my monitor. Is there a way for me to clean iti?

The smudge marks inside D300 is a problem that's present in many Nikon LCD monitors (from various models). They appear like oil smudges (usually vertical) and sometimes finger prints on the inside of the monitor.

I had a similar problem and the Nikon people (and a lot of people on various forums) thought it to be moisture. They suggested various methods from keeping it in front of a halogen lamp to inside a desiccator, but nothing helps. These actually are smudges !!!

On one forum I found some information about it and it seems the best thing to do is to live with it and get used to it. The marks can be cleaned by the service center but opening and closing a SLR is not a small job and can later cause lot of minor problems elsewhere.

These marks don't usually interfere while the LCD is 'ON' and obviously don't create any problems with the photos.

I suggest that you let them be there and forget about them. Start using your camera more and you'll not notice them at all with time.
