Hi there! Just wanna share my trip in Kyushu. Took a 14 day trip around the entire island. Comments and feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and enjoy! Please share if you can!

how can u tell?

Hey Thanks for your input. I think will stick with option 1. I have not much experience with chromagreen. I have heard someone say parabolic softbox? What do you think?

Hi all I would like to create shots that looks something like this. The grey background looks so evenly lit. http://i68.tinypic.com/s0v09y.png However, in the studio, I can't seem to be able to get this even tone of grey throughout. Instead, I get a background with a gradient of grey. To get that even background, is photoshop required? (Cut and paste the image onto a pure grey background?)

<p>WOW! thanks a lot. worked like a charm!</p>

Is it a camera and/or strobe problem?<br> Thanks</p> <p> </p>

<p>hey<br> thanks man appreciate the reply.<br> i'll try it soon!</p>

<p>Hi all,<br> Was wondering if anyone has the same problem as me and if you have a solution.<br> This image directly below is the raw image (tiff) from the scanner. Notice there are <strong>NO</strong> dark grains around the eyes.<br> <img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7454/27308312456_51f6a128ed_n.jpg" alt="" width="317" height="320" /><br> However, after the <strong>exposure was increased</strong> in Lightroom, dark grains can be seen. As shown in the image below<br> <img src="https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7442/26735230703_baf35585c4_n.jpg" alt="" width="319" height="320" /></p> <p>Does anyone know how to remove the dark grains? and will it affect (can be seen) large sized prints?<br> Thanks.</p>

<p>Hi Peter<br> Thanks for the very comprehensive reply. Would like to clarify that the two side pillars are further back as compared to the subject. I will try to look at the negatives again to see what comes up.<br> Just to help with the discussion, here is a shot at f11 (Pardon the light leak at the right corner - my fault). Relatively in focus<br> <img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1578/25854130532_343679f47a_z.jpg" alt="" /> <br> Having said that, does that eliminate problems with film back and scanning? Can it be conclusive that the problem is with the camera? </p>

I just reviewed my shots at f11. And they seemed all in focus (f11 does have a very large depth of field). I'm only having problem at lower f stop values. So that's a focusing issue as well?

<p>Thanks for the link. It was indeed very helpful.</p>

<p>Stephen: Point noted with thanks. I will try adjusting the white point. And I did not compensate the exposure.<br> John: I just recently started playing with medium format cameras. This camera is a second hand piece I bought from a local guy.</p>

<p>Another question that I have is:<br> This room is suppose to be entirely white. Is there a reason as to why there is some vignetting at the corners? Is it part of film photography? Is there anyway to ensure the background is white, without losing the details? </p>

<p>Hi Michael,<br> Thanks for your insight. Now that you mentioned about back-focusing, i noticed that 80% of my shots are all back-focused. I guess that requires some serious servicing? </p>
