What about the mind?


The mind is user adjustable.

As regards sensor size, I have used both 5D IV and 7 D II for eagles, with 100-400 II + 1.4 III.
High ISO was needed and the 5D IV yielded better results.
Sold the 7 D II.
I'd go for a smaller sensor camera if it would yield higher IQ at high ISO than leading FF cameras.

Not gonna happen, methinks.

Waveform Absolute Series LED strips have the best color rendering available from LEDs. Expensive, but worth it.

That's what I would imagine.
Now, If I have an image on my web site, is that advertising???


It is commercial use if the image is used to promote your photographic services, but not if it is merely displayed as art.

I am unclear what is meant by "photography not permitted for commercial purposes". I've seen discussions on this topic here and elsewhere but I am still confused about this topic. I understand that it wouldn't be allowed for photos to be taken and then sold to be used for advertising or promoting something. However, I would like to know if one can sell a print taken of subjects or structures that don't allow photography for commercial purposes.


Commercial use would be using the photograph to sell or promote something. Simply selling a print as art, for hanging on the wall is not commercial use.

Results like yours are a sure cure for buyers remorse.

Canon 500 mm f/4 II


I expected that level of lens from your modest OP. Going for the 2xIII extender next?

Thanks. I say too much reach half in jest. Hard to keep jet in frame.


For keeping the jet in frame, I highly recommend the Olympus Dot Sight. About $140, it will up your keeper rate tremendously.

As I have seen in the instructions given on YouTube by a museum or two, the light tent provides non-glare light. The light sources are set outside the tent, the light penetrates the diffusible cloth and the subject within the tent is bathed in light which is even. This method particularly is useful where glossy photos, framed pictures under glass, etc are being photographed. I have to record small things and items as large as chairs and need non-glare [which a flash will make] results. I am open to suggestions and am ready to learn more from all of you. Thanks for your input.
As I have seen in the instructions given on YouTub... (show quote)


Don't shoot glossy photos and framed pictures under glass in a light tent. Use a traditional copystand and lights setup. Shooting in a tent would put white reflections in the glass and gloss. Use a large black card with a hole for the lens to reflect black (nothing) in the glass. Use a longer lens to keep the light reflections out of view.

I thought I got mine from SetShop, but I don't see it there. It was much cheaper than ROSCO or Lee.
It probably came from TheaterSupply here in Baltimore. They've moved and may not carry it anymore.

Thanks for putting up the pic. I pictured something totally different not even thinking of the diffusion cloth which makes sense.

Thanks , Tom


Note that the diffusion material is not cloth, it's plastic and behaves like heavy paper. Cloth would sag when used like this.

Can you post a pic of it?

I don't have a pic of the cone. Here's a setup using 2 of the 8' Lexan strips supporting the 54" diffusion material. to make a cone, remove the near hoop, roll the plastic into the desired shape, and tape it to your lens hood and the rear Lexan hoop.
