The *Official Photography Thread*

I use this strap: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/893352-REG/Joby_jb01257_bam_Ultra_Fit_Sling_Strap.html
It has worked well for me. My only complaint is the stitching on the back of the strap which hits the front of your shirt is a bit rough and can snag some shirts. I end up twisting it around to prevent this until I figure out a better fix.

 

I just need something more secure than the factory strap. Its come off five different times and I have yet to drop the camera. I have a feeling the next time i won't be so lucky

 

I'll try to navigate around bridge and see what I can do with it. I'll probably just end up buying LR with some grad money I get next weekend.

It has been very secure for me. I also added the Joby camera tether for an extra $5.50 as additional insurance.

 

Since i can't sleep and i'm editing anyway, how about some eye candy...

I use one on my Fuji X-T1 and like it a lot.

 

I've heard good things about black rapid

 

I picked this up for about $20, it works pretty well:

and I added this because I had a previous strap fail and I almost dropped it:

Just found this thread. I am by no means a "professional" photographer but I like to think I have a slight grasp of the subject.

The equipment I'm using at the moment.

Nikon D7100 with 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Auto Focus-S DX NIKKOR Zoom Lens

Manfrotto MHXPRO3W X-PRO 3-Way Head

Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 055 Carbon Fiber 3-Section Tripod

Neewer NW-870DC2 320 Feet LCD Display Shutter Release Wireless Timer Remote















Couple of dark photos with a 8 sec exposure. Thing is... From this location I can not see any stars due to light pollution. Picked up some stars pretty well even with the moon in the frame.





And one cool shot in front of the Fire Station last night using "bulb" mode. Not very scenic but still kind of a cool shot. Shutter was open for 10secs

 

From a Trip a few years ago

 

My other equipment that I use for video specific things are as follows.

DJI Inspire 1 V2







375' in the air




For the DSLR I've got a Carbon Fiber Slider that extends to 2 times it's length to get long panning shots.

 

Does anyone have a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge? I just got mine a couple days ago and was messing with the camera and saw it has a 'pro' mode where you can adjust iso, shutter speed, and can shoot raw files. Raw files! Is this something new or am I just behind on technology?

 

I got the blackrapid for my 70D and love it. My first after market strap and love the sling style as well as how easy it is to detach the camera off the strap if need to. Most of the time, when walking around and taking pictures, I have my camera off the strap.

 

I don't have a S7 but what I do suggest is if you do shoot RAW files (if in fact it will) get the biggest SD card you can get. RAW files are HUGE and "generally" require software to post process them. The S7 may include software to do just that but I doubt you would be satisfied with the outcome if that's the case. I use Final Cut Pro and LightRoom to post process my RAW files.

 

Yeah, not sure how often I'll be using the 'pro' mode but I do plan on getting at least a 64GB or 128GB micro SD and transferring them onto my laptop to do the PP on LR5. I have a 64GB on my 70D and I shot over 1000+ pictures last year during my 1 week vaca to socal plus videos and that thing wasn't anywhere near to being full.

 

Quick video with the slider. Need to order another tripod so I can use the extensions

 

^^^ Legit! Which slider are you using?

 

The one pictured above. Shark Slider S1. It extends to twice its length with the included carbon fiber rails but I need another tripod to do that. But to get the same tripod I'm using right now that will be another $800 to make it work. Not counting the $2600 I need for the WiFi 3 Axis Gimbal

 

Just got a new camera and was toying around the other night...
