Time Exposures Greater Than 30 Seconds: How Well, the original goal was twofold: I shot some recent night images. Here's the unprocessed one: bit.ly/WTQbPu and the processed version: bit.ly/WTPLZm. The original 30s at f/14 was not really sufficient exposure. So that's the 30+ seconds part. With respect to the bracketing, my HDRs really are subpar. Maybe it's because I don't spend enough time experimenting with them and maybe it's because Canon only auto-brackets 0 - +, instead of the 5 or maybe 9 sometimes used. Just thinking anything that controls the release might also help add a couple exposures to the bracket. |

Starting out professionally in families/kids/events photography in mostly natural setting vs studio What does "natural situations" mean? What are the end use requirements? I.e., do you expect to have adequate lighting? Will high-ISO exposures be acceptable to you even with some added noise? Will it be possible to bring in reflectors and/or lights at all? How close to your subjects to you expect to be (closest/average/furthest)? |

What type of lighting would provide slightly more contrast than a softbox for product photography? Contrast is the difference in luminosity between different adjoining elements in the photograph. Because you are lighting everything the same, you have a relatively low contrast image. You're adding this contrast back in post-processing. The shadow doesn't have to be black, it just has to define the texture or shape. Fill opens the shadows without completely removing them. Why don't you try dialing back the intensity of one of your softboxes and see how it works. |

Best easy-to-carry-around Canon (or ANY OTHER) camera plus lenses for bird /wildlife/landscape photography (hobby)? Ok, you may have steady hands -- steadier than mine, anyhow. But IS is only good for at most 2 stops with reliable results. That is 2 stops when you are not straining to hold more camera weight than you are comfortable with. I am a total fan of IS and use it instead of my tripod more than I should. But my shots on a tripod or monopod are more reliable and with a longer lens they are much more reliable. Just passing on my personal experience. |

How do i set studio flash power for a film camera without TTL/OTF metering Better meters can perform a cumulative measure of both the flash pulse and the ambient light at a given shutter speed, if you are really wanting to dial things in. Sekonic makes a great one. |

How can I backup my RAW photos while travelling without Internet access? You're right. I got my numbers using 10GB / 22MB in Wolfram|Alpha figuring they would do the math more quickly, correctly and efficiently than I would. I guess I didn't sanity check their results (oops!). No worries, though. They now report a more correct 454.5, and what you do with that last half image is up to you :) Thanks for pointing this out. |
