That looks tasty, my wife was baking these pastries at home and I immediately remembered a short movie Phillip Bloom made of his mother cooking, it was brilliant, so I decided to do something similar but with stills, and document the main parts of the process. It will be also a chance to talk about the OMD for a bit. I am not ready yet to give my final impressions on the OMD since I haven't had enough experience with it like other cameras,...

I was looking for a silver umbrella, but found out they are pretty much obsolete. That's because of the Westcott Orb and similar octagonal softboxes on eBay, Amazon, and elsewhere. In this post, I review the CowboyStudio version of this octagon softbox. In a first for me, the review will be in video form.The video will cover these topics:- Why you might want one for your lighting gear.- Comparison with other octagon softbox designs.-...
With most subjects, the form and its texture is revealed by shadows. With black or very dark subjects, the shadows blend into the subject, therefore the shadows don't show its form as easily. Instead, we see the form through the specular highlights and reflections.I took some photos of a pair of black leather shoes. In this post, I discuss how I lit the shot.Because of the shoes' dark tone, I decided to take a photo of the shoes...

I've been quite busy lately, and I still am, but there are a lot of goodies coming on the way, so hang on. This is my newly acquired Sony RX100, a 20 MP little monster, and below is a picture taken with it, full flash sync @ 1/2000 sec. ;-)And a 100% crop for your pleasure, very sharp optics, amazing amount of details for such a small sensor packed with 20 megapixels, great dynamic range, and those Sony sensors can surely withstand pulling the shadows...

This is a follow up post to my previous post on How I Keep Fungus Out.I have since gotten a Lockdown Silica Gel Can, 750g as well as a digital hygrometer. Here are the results:Baseline: our house's humidity is normally 51% (we live in Southern California but we are in a coastal area). Our heater has a humidifier and when it is active, humidity rises to 64% in my camera closet.With the humidity at 64%, I placed the Lockdown silica gel can in the closet this morning. By the time I got home, the humidity was 37%. (Note that...

Yesterday, we went to Disneyland (surprise). Since my wife was coming, I decided to bring a two-camera combination. Usually, I bring the event photographer's typical combination of a standard zoom (24-70 or similar) and telephoto zoom (70-200 or similar). Specifically, I liked to use the 24-70 2.8G on a D600, and the Sigma 50-150 2.8 (non-OS) on an APS-C body. That combination of zooms covers virtually any situation and perspective,...
