Weekly review to March 8th 2010 |
|
An interesting and varied week of professional quality discussions starting with
one member suggesting that f. stops are no longer needed! We learnt more about Lord Mandelson's vanishing Rights Grab and the Rupert Murdock connection, but there may be a happy ending in sight. Zeiss to adapt its cine lenses to HDSLR's...just $20k for a set of six primes
wetted the appetite of a few here. A UK Canon repair shop was needed, several recommendations and one or two outfits to beware of all within a short time.
Bride with bloodshot eyes on her wedding day... trouble for the photographer,
but how to correct the pictures? There is always something suggested here
that we may have not thought of or have forgotten!
With Focus exhibition just a few days away in the UK some members are
starting to feel for their plastic, and this means equipment tends to get
discussed here. Focus is where traditionally many UK members of PI meet up
for an annual informal get together.
We had a long discussion about various flash pack possibilities especially the
Quadra product. Do you rely on one generator with several heads or split the
load between a couple or more generator packs?
Software for grabbing web images gets the thumbs down, but there may be
hope on the horizon.
We discussed the merits of joining various wedding photography groups.
What digital projectors to consider for a particular project? Never an easy decision. How to create web sites that look good and download fast on a mobile
phone....is this the future? We also discussed various web site software such
as Flux.
Information was wanted about a crisp packet found in the Bahamas, a member
in the Honduras offers to look in the morning! Being an thoroughly
international group has unexpected value!
Why should a particular lens on a Mamiya RZ stop it working? Various
suggestions were offered and also offers of a loan lens.
The week ended with a discussion about 360 degree shots and animations.
If you are a practising professional photographer perhaps PI could offer you
valuable support.
