Weekly Photography Challenge Thread (see first post rules and then the poll at top before entering)

If you ever get a chance to check out Zach Arias OneLight Workshop video I highly recommend it. Even better if you're near Atlanta and can go to one of his workshops. A friend of mine went and said he'd go again with me if I wanted to go.

 

Strobe used to light up the foreground i only own one speedlight since i like shooting with natural light but a friend had a strobe so i got to play with it threw a red filter on and this was the outcome

 

I ended up going with Radio Poppers. Been very satisfied with them and never had a single issue out of them. Plus they're cheaper than Pocket Wizards when they're on sale.

 

Interesting. I like that house.

And looks much better than the headlamp i usually use to highlight things. Although i haven't tried to merge photos together before in Photoshop so i have a long way to go.

 

dslr's has that option to "stack" as well, it wont be as on point as photoshop but for a steady subject it works.

 

That got the last dumpster fire thread locked. I really don't want this one to be locked.

 

You mean you're not in the PM?

 

Of course not. You know I'm not a cool kid. Plus, my post count is probably not high enough for consideration.

 

Dammit, watched that video and now I want one of these https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...wVZ1H61a_fP-gkaAok7EALw_wcB&lsft=BI:514&smp=Y

 

TacomaWorld is great at getting you to spend money you don't have, and not just on your truck.

 

Good thing christmas is right around the corner. I'm putting a lot of photography stuff on the list this year haha. I'm sure I'll end up buying most of it myself though

 

Spent like 30 minutes trying to get a decent shot. Not easy doin this by myself. Shitty Nikon app doesn’t let you adjust the shutter speed or aperture while in the app so I couldn’t use that to see myself in position. Got the remote out and took about 30 shots adjusting the focus, aperture and shutter speed to finally get a pic I can mostly live with.

 

Single point AF and aperture priority maybe?

 

I changed my AF to the AE lock and I guess when I did that, the remote wouldn’t AF for me and I forgot how to change the setting back. I ended up holding the remote about where I was standing and focused manually on that, then walked in front and took a pic. Your method probably would have been better with aperture priority though. Didn’t think of it at the time. Oh well. Now to figure out how to change AF back to shutter button for remote pics

 

Which camera?

 

d7200. I just need to find the video i watched that showed how to do it. It's a simple setting change, but I just didn't remember what it was at the time.

 

Probably in the shooting menu on that one.

I don’t recall having a setting for that on d7000 other than the button on the back you held for it. AF/AE lock one.

 

It's under custom settings. I found the video I used the first time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=gc_SM_H22lg

Easy to change. I just need to remember how to do that for the future for when I need to use the remote

 

Oh I know how to do that. I thought you were talking about something else.

 

I don't use lens caps on my 50mm or my 70-200 2.8, but use a daylight filter on them ALWAYS. I will take it off and use a Singh-Ray Variable neutral density filter for longer daytime exposures or to get a shallower depth of field (think panning and racecars).
