  1. HI. While awaiting delivery of my Bender (my first large format

    camera)I have purchased a Nikon 150

    Copal 0 lense.Every thing seems pretty self explanatory except the

    little tube with another tube inside it. What is that?

  2. <Wouldn't a link do the same thing?

    <-- Richard Sintchak

     

    I've been trying to figure how to set this up. On the paypal website they have a walkthrough for using a button but not for using a link

    (that I've spotted yet anyway). I'm just looking for the simplest way to set this up.

  3. Hi. I'm not sure what kind of camera a Horseman 985 is but you can find the specs on a lot of digital backs here http://www.calumetphoto.com/syrinx/ctl?PAGE=Controller&ac.ui.pn=cat.CatTree&ac.cat.CatTree.prodIndex.param=09;Digital+Imaging;030;Digital+Image+Capture;720;Digital+Backs&ac.cat.CatTree.prodIndex.branch.node3=720-030

    If that link doesn't work just go to calumetphoto.com and root through the digital folder. There is also a list of backs here http://www.pcphotoreview.com/Digital,Camera,Backs/PLS_4287crx.aspx .

  4. Hi.If you look here http://www.webphotoschool.com/bhphotovideo/ lesson number 5 is on jewelry photography.I have found that Jewelry photography is all about reflections, what you see in say a gold ring is a reflection of what the gold ring is seeing. Its definitly worthwhile to kill any ambient light. That way the subject has less chance to be reflecting the room back at you. Usually your gonna want a large light source to put nice white highlights on the piece.Your sources here are limitless almost- softboxes, silks ,diffusion material, etc... Just remember the rule that a light source is considered large if the distance from the source to the piece is equal to or less then the diagonal of the source. With small pieces like jewelry you can take an 18" square(softbox, silk, diffusion material) placed 14" from the piece and be more effective then a 4' source placed 4' from the piece.
