#23878 Printing my photo to an 8x10 size from my D7000
Posted by Long Exposure on 02 July 2014 - 08:03 PM in Post-Processing, Printing, and Scanning
#23875 Tripod
Posted by Long Exposure on 02 July 2014 - 07:57 PM in Beginner Questions
Induro makes a nice sturdy, inexpensive tripod with a ballhead. At somepoint you will want to buy a different ballhead but the legs are quite nice for the price.
#23874 D800 (5k actuations) vs D800 (35k actuations) purchasing ?
Posted by Long Exposure on 02 July 2014 - 07:52 PM in Beginner Questions
Wont be shooting excessively by any means.
You can replace shutters correct? pretty inexpensively from what i have read
If you will not be shooting muck, 200K actuations is a long ways away. You ay 135K actuations left. If you consider, say 20K actuations a year getting to the limit is about seven years out.
#23873 Need help picking a 35mm body

Patrick:
Good for you going for film. Since AF is not needed I would suggest getting an FE. There are lits of them available and a basic camera with all manual controls. but with a light meter. Here is a ton of them for a little over a hundred dollars.

If you want something a bit more automatic a N65 or a N80 would be nice. Those are super cheap.

Three clicks in Topaz Labs Lens Effects. Good point Jesper about the crop. I see your point. Thanks.
#22600 Fine Art Photography Gear
Posted by Long Exposure on 04 June 2014 - 05:51 PM in Photographic Technique
First, before we get too carried away making suggestions, what does your Canon equipment not do that you wish to do? To ask the same question another way, how is your current equipment holding you back?
Having a handle on the answers will beging to clarify for you your needs/desires and help up make responsible, cogent suggestions.
Also as a 35+ year Nikon shooter, I feel compelled to ask, as a Canon shooter, why are you asking for equipment suggestions on a Nikon forum site? You will undoubtedly get Nikon suggestions that may or may not be directly applicable to the Canon line-up. Are you planning on becomeing a Nikon shooter? That is very rare - switching. As I am sure you understand abandoning one line for the other is costly. Typically, one committed to one or the other there needs to be a burning desire to switch. I am curious.
Please address these questions then I and others will be in a better position to help you.
#22206 Clueless
Posted by Long Exposure on 27 May 2014 - 01:32 PM in Photographic Technique
I looked at the galleries at the web link provided in the O.P. I want my three minutes back.
If I paid for an MFA, like he did and the attendant photos were all I could produce I would feel ripped off.

Thanks LE. It's my baby.
I can understand that. A spectacular piece of artillery, even though the design is 100 years old.

Nice Springfield 1911, BTW.
#21155 Affordable ND/grad filter starter kit?
Posted by Long Exposure on 09 May 2014 - 08:40 AM in Beginner Questions
B&W screw-in filters are the best (relatively) inexpensive ND filters that do not change your WB (much.) Cheap ND filters are terrible for color cast and changing WB. That is all I have to give on this topic other than agreeing with Merco_61.
If you want to see what the B&W ND filters can do, go to the "Seascapes Forum" and look at my posts there.

#21121 "You Had to Be There" 600 second of the ocean

Thank you both.

#21097 An Early Morning On Singer Island
Posted by Long Exposure on 08 May 2014 - 10:16 AM in Seascapes
I love all your ocean time exposures.
They are all so soft and abstract, like oil paintings.
Thank you sir.
#20260 F5 or F6
Posted by Long Exposure on 28 April 2014 - 08:36 AM in Film Photography
Trying to fine one clean and cheap. It probably doesn't matter to me size wise as I shoot a D3s, a D600 and a D7000. Any thoughts on the differences besides the size?
#20000 An Early Morning On Singer Island
Posted by Long Exposure on 24 April 2014 - 05:55 PM in Seascapes
A 206 second exposure in the predawn light of a rock formation just of the beach, at Singer Island, Florida.
A bit about the exposure. When I take these exposures the timing is always a bit tricky as the light is constantly changing with the coming dawn. My point is taking a light meter reading then mentally calculating for the exposure time, to compensate for the ND filters will result in an exposure about 20 percent too long. This exposure used stacked 10-stop and 6-stop filters with ISO 100.
#19999 Microphone for Videography
Posted by Long Exposure on 24 April 2014 - 05:38 PM in HDSLRs and Video
Upham got this one right. That is what I use also. Quick, simple and onboard.
#19998 "Looking East"
Posted by Long Exposure on 24 April 2014 - 05:34 PM in Seascapes
Love it. Can you explain in a bit more detail how you made it?
Sure do you have a specific question. Camera on a tripod. A cord actuated shutter release. The exposure was 0.6 seconds. Sun was over my shoulder. A ten stop filter held back the light to get the lengthy exposure.
#19586 F5 or F6
Posted by Long Exposure on 21 April 2014 - 09:24 AM in Film Photography
Anyone here shooting a F5 or F6? if so which and why? Thanks.
#19392 Where are all the old film cameras and lenses?
Posted by Long Exposure on 18 April 2014 - 10:22 AM in Film Photography
I troll the few camera stores I find along the way and flea markets.
#19390 Scanning
Posted by Long Exposure on 18 April 2014 - 10:20 AM in Post-Processing, Printing, and Scanning
Any film shooters doing their own scanning? What high quality scanner are you using? Is anyone using a Nikon scanner? Thanks.
#19389 Guess who found 3 rolls of Kodachrome that are unexposed...
Posted by Long Exposure on 18 April 2014 - 10:18 AM in Post-Processing, Printing, and Scanning
Yes, I am afraid you got caught up in the "snooze you lose" position. Others on this thread are correct that the last lab to color process K stopped after doing Mr. Curry's roll. And FWIW, and slightly off topic, I was not impressed with many of the compositions he presented from that last roll.
You can buy Tri-X and have it processed for less than $16/roll. If it were me I would stick it on Ebay.com and take what you can get. Someone will want it as a momento to the past if nothing else.
#19299 Tri-Pod Head for Telephoto Lens
Posted by Long Exposure on 17 April 2014 - 10:29 AM in Beginner Questions
Induro ballheads are crap. The legs are fine, but I once traded out the ballhead from an Induro unit to a different maker as soon as I could.
#19297 Neutral Density Filter
Posted by Long Exposure on 17 April 2014 - 10:23 AM in Beginner Questions
No a polarizer will not get the same effect but using a polarizer in conjunction with an ND filter is a great idea as the polarizer will knock down the glare.
And to follow up on Merco's thoughts, I carry round 4-stop, 6-stop and a 10-stop filters with rings. That way I have flexibility to really knock down the light.
One point untouched upon is focusing. Once you get to 10-stop and beyond you will need to focus, then lock focus, then install the filter(s) as focusing will be near impossible with the filter(s) in place.
#18565 D9300 Rumor
Posted by Long Exposure on 03 April 2014 - 06:04 PM in Nikon News and Rumors
How about that D9300 rumor that is floating around? Finally, and hopefully a replacement for the D300s. I first read the rumor at NikonRumors.com but it is now at several other blogs and forums.
Can't wait to see the specs.
