It sounds a lot like a photographer who is spending beyond her means and this is one way of recouping. Who knows how many customers just paid the extra to get their albums. Bad business for sure.
-
I wouldn't have gone the open letter route. That can do more damage than good a lot of times.
-
I just shot a grey card twice with a 600ex, 1 set at 5500k and the 2nd at AWB. They both measured between 6050k and 6200k in Camera Raw.
-
It depends on your light source. You should have at least the basic daylight, tungsten, fluorescent, flash, etc. settings, if I'm reading your question correctly.
-
I have found when "relying" on a grey card that it gives me many different readings depending on where I click on in in Camera Raw. So, I just set my camera according to Kelvins and that usually gets me pretty close.
-
I normally leave mine set up. But if I do take it down I just undo all the Velcro, remove the diffuser, and the spokes come out fine.
-
That's the one thing the Westcott vid points out is that the shallow has a hot spot, probably more so than the deep. I'd like to get another one but will probably get a Sola 4 first. Can never have too many light sources or modifiers on hand.
-
I have the TD6 in the shallow box and like it a lot. As a key light source with the 5500k bulbs it does do a good job of emulating natural light in most situations. But A lot of it has to do with it's position in relation to your subject. What I lik…

It looks to me like the board was painted with that glow stick stuff.

Do you mean shoot-through umbrellas?

I'm still within my return date with B&H, Neil. Their return turnaround is very good, so I'm going to go that route. Plus, I'm going to pick up a 3rd 600.
-
And I haven't touched the cameras menu at all. Out of the box this system worked straight off. Now it's becoming unreliable.
-
I should say that I lost control of ETTL, changing the settings on the ST but the 600 would not follow. It used to follow. After testing at home, the flash is now compensating but not displaying the change on the 600. I have not changed any of the c…
-
Yes. Adjustments made on the ST were not being transmitted to the 600. Now the FEC works but it's not "reading" so on the FEC diagram of either 600. This is both a 5D mkii and a 7D.
-
The BFT is just a flag. White may be more translucent and flag less, I'm guessing.
-
I love my non-IS version of the 70-200. Can not find any fault with that lens. Tempted to get the II.
-
"Stunning" is what I was looking for, Neil. That's a good description of how I feel about my 70-200.
-
I like mine so far. Huge improvement over my experience with the JRX Radiopoppers. I really love the new screen layout, too. Leaps and bounds ahead of the older EX systems.
-
Even Chloe the cat looks a little surprised.
-
Got 2 600s with the ST transmitter. What a difference. Just not having to jump around to fix stuff is well worth the price of admission. And the 200mm zoom is fantastic.
-
Another vote for the 35mm. If the 70-200 is a 2.8 I'd bring that too. Learn to bounce flash in ETTL and direct flash in manual and you should get by no problem.
-
From any seller I always make sure everything I'm supposed to get is in the deal and not sold separate.
-
I think the problem in my area is that there aren't a lot of photographers to begin with vs a more populated area. The one resource I do have is word-of-mouth/like-minded friends. I find they are easy to deal with when schedules permit.
-
I can't think of any reason for an articulating screen for what I do. I thinks it's more of a video shooters thing, honestly. Give me a nice solid-feel-in-the-hand body with just an LCD screen and I'm a happy man. I don't favor smaller lighter bodie…
-
Good . I'll watch for the 5Diii prices to come down. I rarely use my 7D but will be interesting to see what the II has to offer.
