A trick with use for sports photos is to shoot at knee level so they look bigger than life. Also, if shooting outside putting the horizon at their feet will give a way bigger than life effect.

I have lock and locks for food items but have been trying to find one that fits quickloads and polaroid. Thx for the link :) Its a happy Sunday now.

I'll stick to my Minolta flash meter. $400 is crazy considering a sekonic 358 is just over $200.

his email address is 999nevermind@haha.com :)

You guys have me sold on it. I sent the guy an email.

I have a chance to get one of the newer ones (green stripe) for $600 and before I say yes I want to find out if I will have any issues with it on a Shen Hao 4x5? I am pretty sure it will be fine with...

Thx Gene.

Hello,

I am thinking about using Type 79 in a 545 holder but I cannot seem to find much info on it. Anyone have any experience using this and what shutter speeds it can handle? I was thinking of...

Timo,

I am curious about your comments and whether they were directed at me? As someone who shoots commercially Pro, College, and High School Sports, Fashion, Advertising, and Wildlife, I would...

I was out yesterday with a Canon 30D, 1.4x, 500/4 IS with camo lens wrap, on a wimberley gimbel, and a Gitzo CF tripod and the only person who says something is this old guy with a cane (on a hiking...

You could get plastic dye in black and convert it. It would be even more funny in Camo :)

Has anyone used this place here in Phoenix? http://www.photoconcepts.net/index.html

They seem very inexpensive for 4x5 @ $1.50 each.

If anyone has someone else locally to recommend I would...

I use a Gitzo 1348 to hold everything heavy from my Canon 500/4 IS down. I don't worry about anything on it. The new gitzo's with the improved locks, composite bushings and anti rotation legs are the...

Fantastic image of the baseballs / softballs. Would of been great for USA Today or SI with the start of the baseball season.

Beautiful shot Walter. I don't think I will be doing to many extreme movements for a while. I am going to start off with Provia 100F as I am pretty good at converting to B&W if I need to.

The portrait almost looks like it came out of a hassleblad.

Incredible image. Love the lighting and contrast.

Good Information. I am not giving up shooting Fashion, Sports and Wildlife in 35mm just giving up shooting landscapes in 35mm and MF. My Mamiya gear is almost sold (there is a pretty good market for...

So as I read more and more threads on this site I keep reading the term Analog in reference to Film. I am very confused by this as I am an IT Professional and Analog is the opposite of Digital (1's...

I am curious about this. What is a very effecienct hood in Large Format? I know the manufacturer's hoods on telephoto and super telephoto lenses are quite effecient and dedicated to each lens. I...

There was a revolution in photography in the last 2-3 years. In the past there were photographers and picture takers. When the Drebel's came out, and digicams started growing in MP size, all of those...

Steve I just bought my first copy of View Camera January / February edition, its quite an impressive technical magazine. I have read the movements section a couple times now. I will definately look...

Thats too funny. Why do I think you won't honor a 7 day return policy :D

These are a second set of questions so bare with my second thread.

Lens Hoods: I use them on every lens that I own in the smaller formats, I notice in LF there isn't a lot of mention of them. I...

Great info Walter. I am going to look for the Caltar II's.

Thx for the advice everyone. I am kind of looking at the change of pace. Took 40,000 shots last year and the idea of taking 2-3 shots and enjoying the world more is appealing in addition to the large...

Hello, I'm Bob. I have shot 35mm and MF for 20+ years and have this developing obsession with LF. I have been shooting with a borrowed Toyo and just ordered a Shen Hao 45. I am trying to translate...
