The Healthy Photographer: Injury Prevention Optimizes Business Success. Несколько советов для фотографов как не сорвать себе спину, таская многокилограммовые тюки с фотобарахлом. Лично я считаю, что в комплект поставки объектива тяжелее 2 кг должен входить негр для его переноски.

It’s not uncommon to catch sight of a photographer skirting a football field, squatting on the sidelines of a basketball court, or crouching in the midst of a wedding reception and carrying multiple camera bodies and lenses, a camera bag, a tripod or monopod, and wearing a vest containing who-knows-what. Equipment is a heavy burden, but carrying it is better than having to run across a room or field to change lenses or attach a flash.

The majority of these devices, ranging from an ExpoDisc to a coffee filter, provide a white balance by correcting the color temperature of the light before you begin shooting, saving it as a preset for the session.

Annual Report Photographer David Tejada "The f-Stops Here": Octa Quad Ring

Octa Quad Ring. Если они разом пыхнут на M 1/1, то модель немного загорит.

After playing around with the new FourSquare™ a few days now, I decided to mount 4 cold shoes to the inside of an Octa Speed Ring I have. Mounting these 4 cold shoes on this speed ring will allow me the ability to use a larger modifier as well as the ability to preform high speed sync shots with greater efficiency.

FourSquare™… and I'm Not Talking About The Game. Могучая хреновина.

This is a very clever small strobe mount and softbox combo. The key to the system is the Four Square mount which allows up to 4 speedlights to be mounted into a 30' X 30' softbox.

Compact Flash Memory cards - is yours a fake? Пользительная статейка за поддельные CF-карты от SanDisc.

I have been wanting to write this article for some time now… ever since I received a really bad fake SandDisk Ultra II Compact Flash card a few years back. After doing some research online, I found a few others that were getting the same crap cards from their online purchases.
