This week, the guys answered listener questions that were sent in from Twitter.
read moreThe 2013 Flower and Garden Festival just started at Epcot. This week Tom, Ryan and Cory discuss why this is one of the best times of year for photography at Epcot.
read moreHere are the awesome show notes for Episode 55, covering nighttime shooting. We start out by covering the essential gear for nighttime photography, which is basically a remote and a tripod. For remotes, we use cheap wired remotes from Hong Kong–not the ridiculously overpriced first party ones. If the one at that link isn’t compatible with your camera, keep searching Amazon; you should be able to find one for <$15. You’ll want a wired remote for bulb mode shooting so you can “ghost” people out of your...
read moreIn this episode we talk about the various types of Nik Software. You can read more about these programs on Nik’s website. Very little on Disney in this episode, although we do discuss how the various software might work well for Disney photos. At the end of the episode, Tom goes on a tangent about murder-kittens. You can read more about this in the Washington Post, or in this hilarious...
read moreOn this episode, we talk post processing. Pretty pedestrian stuff at first: we all just discuss how we import images into Lightroom (Cory and Ryan) or Bridge/Adobe Camera Raw (Tom). Tom starts rambling on about how he uses presets in Adobe Camera Raw. Nothing important here. Cory mentions Matt Kloskowski, who has a lot of Lightroom presets. Cory then asks about editing night images. Ryan discusses editing photos together to adjust white balance and saving photos as TIFFs before bringing them into Photoshop or Photomatix. From there, we warned...
read moreOn this episode, we basically just plugged a lot of Rokinon lenses. Someone from Rokinon, if you’re reading this, you owe us $6.73 for that. Our advertising doesn’t come cheap! We primarily focused on the Rokinon 8mm fisheye lens, which is highly recommended by all. Tom reviewed that lens here. We also discussed a full frame alternative to this lens, the Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 fisheye, although Tom remarked that the Rokinon 8mm will still work on full frame–you’ll just have to crop. Corey mentioned the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8...
read moreThe guys start out the show by talking about how they already broke their New Year’s Resolution from Episode 49 to buy less gear. Cory bought a new Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lens and Tom bought the Nikon 28-300mm VR full frame super-zoom. Ryan was silent as to what he purchased, so we’ll assume he bought this lens. For this show, we gave the power to the people and responded to questions listeners Tweeted us. We rambled on and talked about nonsense for a while, but here are some of the salient points worth mentioning. Tom...
