Comment on Canon vs Nikon flash systems (revisited) by Byron T

Byron T — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 14:07:26 +0000

I use both systems extensively. I have a full time job as a photographer for an airline. At work, we use all Nikon. My personal cameras are Canon. If we are just talking about putting the flash on top of the camera, and shooting an event, the Nikon wins hands down. Sure, I can look in the viewfinder and make adjustments to correct the situation, but for that ‘one shot’ opportunity, the Nikon rarely, if ever, misses the exposure. Can’t say the same for the Canon. The Canon shot usually needs some tweaking after making the intial shot. I’ve used both systems for over 12 years.

Excellent article and should help dispel the myththat flash is bad!

Comment on “Shooting is not possible” by stan_g

I get Err 30 on my 5d2 and no changing out batt or card or off/on makes it go away. When it 1st started Err30 I let it set for a week and then it worked fine for 4-500 shots. Only that once did it ever work again. I googled this and find little other than, nothing helps, or it costs a bunch for Canon to fix it.
Most of the problems I’ve found online happened back about when I bought mine in ’09 but I have just 8000 shots in that time, my main cam is a 1d4. I mostly use the 5d2 when I need really wide fullframe shots with my 14mm2.8 or 15mm fisheye.
Any new knowledge out there on this? s.no. 0220104xxx

Comment on Canon 5D MkII : Raw vs SRaw1 by Olar

sRAW advantages are smaller file size (if it is imortant) and smaller noise level so you can use higher ISO in low light situation, disantvantage is less details.

It’s like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pictures to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is helpful blog post. A wonderful read. I’ll definitely return again.

Comment on Of Portfolios, Post-Processing and “Getting it right in-camera” by Tommy

Tommy — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 01:01:12 +0000

So I’m a bit late to the party – just going back through your blog and enjoying it a lot. This jumped out at me because I have had to educate a number of clients recently on the retouching aspect of my work. As is obvious (for a photographer) from looking at my folio, post production plays a huge role, and I always shoot with the retouch in mind.

I’m wondering if you itemise retouching per image (or hour) in your estimates, or roll it all as one price? I list it separately at the moment, but have been often tempted to roll it into the shoot fee, thus not even giving clients the option to question it…

Anyway thanks for this article!

Tommy

Comment on Canon 5D MkII : Raw vs SRaw1 by Tristan

Still it always remains the question in what way the pictures you are taking will be used before deciding to always use RAW after reading such articles online;

if I do an assignment that will display clothing on a website/shop on a max resolution of 800×1200 pixels only, with maybe a max zoom function of 150%, I will still use sRAW in order to speed things up and save on harddrive space. In this case I am not interested in 100% crops.

First decide what you shoot for, then decide what sizes to use. In a period of time photographing and post processing you will definately notice you are using time and space to your full advantage.

Thank you Tim! I was on the verge of going from raw to sraw1 but after reading your post decided against it.

Hi Timothy,

this is great lifestyle session, but can you give more info, about the lightning, the time of the day that photos are made and about the post production

Hi Tim,

great article: thanks!

I have following question: when shooting in sRAW, does it mean we get less noise? after all the sensor is the same, but less pixels will be used.

thank you
Oleg

Super image…. I like not having the bike’s shadow, but just the shadow of the rider. Thanks for posting this with the explanation…. got me inspired!

Hi Tim,

Yes, this was an idea that I considered. If the concept were definitively ‘lightweight bike’ then the shadow would really make sense, but I decided to leave the image open to more interpretations.

Love this shot. Sent here by The Strobist! I think the shot might be a little more effective if you had the shadow of the bike on the ground to emphasize that the bike is not the main ingredient here, but is a tool.
