L bracket

If you use a battery grip "L " brackets won't work.


Of course they do. You need to buy the ones made for the battery grip. Jeez.

Pixel Pitch
I have been shooting digital since 2001. Professionally since 2004. I have printed 4x6 and 20x30. I have cropped and not cropped. The prints are gorgeous and I have never once even thought about sensor pixel pitch. I think it may be an interesting discussion, but meaningless for actually taking photographs and printing them. Analysis paralysis.

IQ viewed on screen
Obviously without seeing the images I don't really know, but I am guessing the pixel dimensions for IG might not be large enough and the iPad is spreading them out too much. I think the pixel dimension on the long side of the iPad is 2048. While diffraction is indeed an issue at f16, the effect is pretty subtle and really only noticeable in fine details. We'll see.

/reccommended lens for shooting my dogs

You have what you need, but you might consider a 70-200mm f2.8 in the future to lengthen your reach and enable you to isolate your subject with a shallower depth of field.


Not necessarily. If the dog is the same size on the sensor and the aperture is the same, the DOF will be the same for either lens.

Tri-flash bracket

I did a test on three set-ups

Single flash, ISO 200, shutter speed 1/200, aperture f/10.0

Tri-flash, ISO 200, shutter speed 1/200, aperture f/16.2

eVOLV 200, ISO 200, shutter speed 1/200, aperture f/16.2


Yep-that math works out just the way the theory says is should. Going from one to two would be twice as much light, so one stop. Add one more should add a 1/2 stop. So going from f/10 to f/16.2 is right where it should be.

How Important Is a Modeling Light for Learning Studio Portraiture?
It is handy, to be sure, but hardly critical. Before I invested in studio strobes (Einstein) I used speedlights for years with no modeling lights.

Even today, I often forego the modeling lights but then I usually shoot tethered so I do see the results, even if it is just a second or so after the shot.

Dark prints
My first thought is that your monitor is way too bright. So you are adjusting the brightness based on what is a faulty starting place.

My iMac has the brightness turned down to just four "bars" on the brightness scale. That gives me a minimal brightness difference monitor-to-print.

How are you liking capture 1 pro opposed to lightroom
karno wrote:
Thank you for the info, would you still use capture 1 if you did not need tethering


I might not have tried it in the first place. But as I learn its advantages bit by bit, I have to say I think I will be using it more.

How are you liking capture 1 pro opposed to lightroom
For my use, I love Capture One. But "my use" means tethered shooting. It is FAST and does not drop connections all the time as Lightroom does. I am still learning how to use it for image processing as it has its own philosophy and tool set. You can forget 87.65% of what you know from LR or ACR. Even though it does what those do, it is a different world - not better our worse - just different. Actually, some things ARE better.

You need to spend some time on the various online tutorials or you will drive yourself nuts truing to use it. CO uses layers unlike Lightroom, but the implementation is far different than Photoshop. Not better or worse.

The keywording and cataloging feature is great. I have never used LR for that so I cannot address the better/worse issue, but it is straightforward on Capture One. You can open in Photoshop just like LR, so sending off for more detailed pixel-level work is a snap.

I also was surprised when I received the same type of Letter from them. The letter I received said that it was sent to me alone and did not notify the state, however my numbers are much smaller than yours.


Maybe you should read that again. My letter states that they DO notify the state of the amount - not the details of WHAT was purchased, but the aggregate amount.

I will still be buying online for the convenience. That and the fact that Mikes's Camera—other than for cameras and lenses—just does not have the breadth and depth of products.

(Advice from the Pros)
Resolution
TheDman wrote:
Hello mentors! I can think of no better way to kick this section off then to finally settle the age old questions surrounding image resolution. I've attached a screenshot from Photoshop that highlights the Resolution box (ppi), and here are the pertinent questions I have:

1. What effect does that number have on the quality of my image? Does it affect how it looks on screen?

• on the screen, the ppi number is meaningless. All that matters is pixel dimension.



2. How does that number correlate to my monitor? I've heard that monitors are 72 ppi... if that's true does this number have to be 72 to match?

• No monitor today is 72ppi. All of them are WAY finer pitch. Many over 200ppi. The monitor 72ppi thing is garbage.


3. Does the resolution have any effect on file size (megabytes)? Will simply changing the resolution number create an image that will load quicker on the web?


• Resolution as in PPI, has NO effect on file size. All that matters is pixel dimension. An image that is, say, 2000x3000 pixels will be the same size in MB at whatever ppi figure you give it.

4. What does that "Resample" checkbox do?

* If Resample is checked and you change the ppi figure, the number pixels grows or shrinks, but the size in inches IF IT WERE TO BE PRINTED stays the same. If Resample is checked and you change the inches figure, the ppi number stays the same and the image gets larger or smaller with the same ppi.

* If Resample is Unchecked and you change the ppi, the image gets larger or smaller IF IT WERE TO BE PRINTED. If you change the inches, then you ,eep the same number of pixels, but if you make the image smaller (inches) you force MORE pixels into the inch and if you make the image larger, you spread out those pixels to fewer and fewer per inch.

• Experimenting with this is far easier than explaining!

I'd love to hear from each of you if possible, just to get a consensus. Thanks!

Can't Post an image from my Nikon D850

Or you could just reduce the image width to 2048 without doing any math. You are using ppi to come up with pixel dimension instead of just choosing your desired pixel dimension.

Yes. That is the way it should be done. Screwing with a random ppi number makes no sense. Uncheck Resample, put it the pixel count needed and done.
