For example, I see the new 5DIII still cannot synch at 1/250th like so many other cameras can. I'm curious, in your experience with this camera so far, what you believe the max usable synch speed is.Jason Denhamhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/jasondenham/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-31266276373116851912012-04-10T12:15:06.677-04:002012-04-10T12:15:06.677-04:00Hi David,

To be honest, I thought I wandered into another blog when I saw the changes the other day. ;-P<br />Thanks a lot for the effort you're putting into this photography mine of a website. I've learned a lot from visiting this almost everyday. Wishing your upcoming book will be a hit!<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />SamSamhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/t2psalm/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-9897711581059236262012-04-03T21:31:32.848-04:002012-04-03T21:31:32.848-04:00just to add to my previous comment on a set of ste...just to add to my previous comment on a set of steps you follow to quickly work with lights in tight scenarios...i remember you detail a set of steps during your tour in NJ where you set your cam to f5.6 and 1.125...set the flash to quarter power and adjust the flash distance to achieve results...quick and easy...do you have more such easy steps to share?DGVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453677104191794060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-91285251850156352472012-04-03T21:28:09.976-04:002012-04-03T21:28:09.976-04:00I would like to see a section on 'Working fast...I would like to see a section on 'Working fast with lights'. Do you have a series of steps you follow to achieve the right exposure QUICK when working with lights in a time constrained environment. <br />eg: take a shot in AV without flash..see how much off we are...adjust...switch to M with the AV settings..then add lights...play with shutter speed/aperture combo to arrive at the right exposure. Do you have a set of steps you follow?<br /><br />i would also like to see a set of fool proof lighting setups at weddings (eg: light placements at the reception area..do you cross light from opposite sides of the dance floor, etc...)DGVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453677104191794060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-83133790214500749152012-04-02T12:09:30.248-04:002012-04-02T12:09:30.248-04:00It was great to see you at Photoshop World.

Great to hear you are starting a new boo...Hi David!<br />Great to hear you are starting a new book. I must have read "Captured by the Light.." more then a dozen times:-)<br /><br />One of the things i really would like to see in your new book is how to take good party pictures in really dark venues. I know that in "Captured by the light" you talked about this. But many of us don't (always) have an assistant with us. Perhaps you can explain a bit how to achieve good lighting when working alone in these kinds of situations!<br /><br />ErwinErwin Beckershttp://www.ebeckers.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-86543062802598647492012-03-30T16:28:28.926-04:002012-03-30T16:28:28.926-04:00Back around 1970 or 71, I took a class with Leon K...Back around 1970 or 71, I took a class with Leon Kennamer on subtractive lighting - instead of starting off dark and adding light, you start off with a lot of light and add the shadow area. It's a great technique for outdoor images and would be a good chapter for the book.George Kwainhttp://photoblog.gmkwainphoto.comnoreply@blogger.com
