<p>Whats up guys. I got a question regarding getting certain sections of a photo to pop out in to a zoom like window. Kind of like ahotspot on the photo so when you click it, an enlargement of just that section pops up. Ive attached an example that may help to show what I'm looking for. No ball busting on the text. I just put that in as a place holder.</p>

The art guy at a rug company thinks its the cats meow and wants us to mimic it for some rug shots we are doing for him. I'm just trying to get an idea how it was done. I thought it is probably window and maybe an over head fill.

Hey guys,

Here is a link to some rug photography I'm curious about the lighting on. Is this window/ ambient lighting or

strobe? Any Ideas on how this lighting setup was done. I’m guessing most of the photos are window light but I may

be wrong. Thanks for any help.

David, Red bull racing is getting me the creds to get in and shot the whole weekend, I am shooting for them. And your right I am not being paid for the job. Kind of a trade off from what I understand. I'm going to be in touch with them on wensday and should find out more.

I just got my email from red bull on my race creds for the up coming ATL nascar race. I was wondering if any of

you guys have any experience with an photo agreement like this. I think I have a basic idea what this means but

if any body could spell this out for me in laymens terms. here is the text from the email they sent me. Is this

pretty much standard?

 

Thanks

Kenny

Thom,

We have a camera mounted in a 15 foot ceiling hooked up to a mac through a firewire. we use a big hassey with digital back with 35mm on it for super big rugs. then light it with strobes.

Thanks guys. I realiy thought some cross light should work. I'll just have to work on balancing the light better.

Hey I need a little help here. I may be posting in the wrong spot but my company shoots rugs for lots of rug

makers. we were sent some rugs with some thick shiney silver thread in them. we shot the rugs flat from over

head but I can not get the silver thread to sparkle.it just comes out silver and white. the Client wants the rug

shot flat but still have some sparkle coming off of the threads. I've tried shooting it with some cross light but

still dosent work. any Ideas on this? here is a link to a photo of the rug.

Hey nathan, If I had found the answer in the other post I wouldn't have posted my own question.

My question is if there is a technique for mimicking natural light (window

light) with strobes. I have a catalog photo shoot coming up for a rug company

and they are really looking for photos that have a natural look to them. The

designers gave me the Room and Board catalog as an example.

I have lots of strobes at the studio but no windows so I?m kind of stuck. Any

help is appreciated.

 

Thanks Kenny

hey thanks Cheryl

l. I would love to know what they say about it.

Also i just notice that it will every so often auto focus in real bright lighting with lots of contrast. it is almost like shooting in low light where it can't find a lock

No it is all of the sensors, also the green focus light in the view finder blinks dont know what that means. also the little mirror seems to work fine. thanks for your help

hey Zack I wish it was just that but that was the frst thing I checked.

I was on vacation last week and was shooting family photos at the beach when

the autos focus quite working on my canon 10d. All it does is hunt back and

forth with out locking on to anything. I tried changing lens cleaning the

connections and resetting the camera but it still won?t focus. Anybody got any

ideas on what might have caused this and what to do to fix it.

 

Thanks Kenny

slow shot nice and sharp

Well i shot some more bikes. A little earlier in the day than last time. I got

alot more speed and dof on these shots. when these guys are doing 20 or 30 mph I

can get a good sharp shot. but when I get off three shots of a bike coming in a

turn at 65 mph towards me or away, Only the first shot is sharp. This i think is

a focusing problem now more then stopping the actoin.

Is there a focusing mode you guys would suggest. Had some new guy come by and

tried to show off for the camera. and laid his bike down doing 80 mph. He slide

120 ft. not good.<div></div>

I guess I should also say that this is about 6:00 in the evening so that let is super slim shady. that photo is 1/125 @ 4 I think. If anyone has any advice on this thanks

 

 

Kenny

Hey guys. I live in the north GA mountains. I have been tring to get photos of

the guys riding street bikes up the mt roads. I'm getting some good shots of

them in curves and stuff but the problem is that they never seem to be super

sharp. What do you guys feel is the min on shutter and ap. to totaly stop the

movement and have enough dop. 250 @ 5.6 ?????

 

Sorry my typing sucks

"If so, my 10D red channel goes a little nonlinear near the top of the histogram and gets saturated about a half stop sooner than the green channel."

 

This is what is happing to me on all my shots. maybe the example I put up wasnt the best. here is another shot I did same lighting and underexpoused a half stop. the red channel jumps out again. I have the white balance set to the 5600k lights I'm using.<div></div>

I'm having a problem when I shoot in RAW. My red channel is always

hiting 255 in skin tones when I shoot. I can get it back down if I

adjust the white balence but then picture is to cool. If any body

knows any articles on this or has any help please let me know.<div></div>
