I've tethered My Nikon D800 to Aperture 3.0, I assumed I could control all the cameras functions from aperture but I can't find anything to do this. Is there a plug in or a freeware tool that would allow me to do this so I don't have to keep going back and forth from the camera and mac?

Question I'm sure someone might know the answer to: in theory, is it possible that a camera during a long exposure could display a live histogram during shooting, so the photographer could then use bulb mode to make a decision on when to stop? Just thinking for those times when people have a stack of NDs in place so metering is hard, with changing lighting conditions. I've not heard of such a thing so I presume there's a technical limitation in place. Or, the more likely, it's a dumb idea that wouldn't actually be useful in the field.

I think that it would require a lot more processing power than the camera could handle. Then again, maybe pitch this to the Magic Latern forums and see what they have to say? They probably understand the limitations of the Canon line better than Canon does.

Olympus OM-D line does that, or at least one of them does (the expensive one?) Paging Mr.Despair. Edit: content http://www.lessgearmorephotos.com/how-to-use-live-bulb-on-olympus-om-d-cameras-for-long-exposure-photography/

poo poo, it doesn't just show the histogram, it can show the actual image as you take it so you can stop it when it looks like what you want. I don't use it all that much though, although I've been using the livecomp mode a lot. Which is probably even more processing intensive, since it's literally stacking as many exposures as you want and blending in only new sources of light on top of your base exposure. Lets you do poo poo like this in camera without blowing the foreground (that's a 3 hour exposure) P3030200 by Douglas Tiedt, on FlickrThis is 2.5 hours, but the camera got bumped or something at some point. It's cool seeing how the parts of the tower that aren't illuminated are still nice and crisp enough though it's pretty clear that Ibumped the camera pretty hard at the end.  P3080306.jpg by Douglas Tiedt, on FlickrIf you look real close you can also see that there was probably a chunk of time when the moon went behind some clouds and a few extra stars were able to show up, before going away again. Cool poo poo.

What are some opinions on the best way to go about mounting a picture for matting and framing? After a bit of googling it seems that a lot of people prefer mounting the print to the backboard with a tape hinge (I've seen Filmoplast P-90 mentioned a lot), but you also have photo corners or other methods. My wife, who studied photography while getting her bachelors, seemed to recoil at the idea of actually sticking tape to the back of the print, even if it was non-acidic archival tape. Generally, my concerns about mounting methods are 1)Longevity/conservation 2)Ease of application 3) Ease of rematting/reframing in the future.

Not sure if this is the right place, but Creative Cloud Photography (Photoshop + Lightroom) is currently $6.99/month on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Creative-Photography-Photoshop-Lightroom/dp/B00KNDCCE6

Hm, I'm on that plan already but am locked in til March next year @ $9.99. Wonder if Adobe would discount current plan. EDIT: Chatted with an Adobe agent who cancelled my plan with no fee. Not sure if there was ever a fee but he acted like there was one. Regardless he'll get good feedback in the survey email

If it makes you feel better, most people looking at your pictures on their screens won't be calibrated either.

So, if you have a calibrated monitor, process your photos to look good, and then share your them with others with uncalibrated screens, will they in turn look like poo poo to them?

The thing is though, uncalibrated screens will still have pretty close colours and contrast, and people using them will be more sensitive to the content of the photo rather than the composition or accurate colour reproduction. People who care about that will more than likely have a calibrated screen. tbh though it's very easy to go a bit crazy with obsessing over calibration, it's just as bad as pixel peeping. I was reading about a guy who did a full calibration every saturday and only edited on sundays. He doesn't even sell his pics.

Lets you do poo poo like this in camera without blowing the foreground (that's a 3 hour exposure) The Sony A7S and A5100 have a PlayMemories Camera Apps called "Light Trail" that does something very similar. You first set the overall scene brightness (a value from 1 - 15 seconds of exposure), then you can control the shutter, keeping it open for as long as you'd like (max 6 hours). Similar to Livecomp mode, the camera only captures changes in exposure, so while most of the scene stays lit at the level you set initially (typically your foreground) the rest updates to give you your light trails. The live view image is updated about twice a second during the process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COAb3II1PSs McLarenF1 fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Nov 28, 2015 |

Does anyone have any recommendations of photographers, resources, blogs etc dealing with still life photography? Preferably single item still lifes? Incidentally I am also a very keen gardener and I'd really like to do an ongoing series shooting single found objects (flowers, leaves, fruit etc) against a plain background just as an evolving document, and I figured if there was a rad photographer who does something similar it'd be helpful.

I half-remembered some old posts on Strobist about setting up a softbox on the cheap and shooting still life and playing with lighting and so forth. I found this. Get some fireworks to go with your found flowers/leaves/fruit etc.

It reminds me of the lifeless food photography that was super common in those 60's/70's mail order recipe card collections.

Stephen Shore's Uncommon Places or William Eggleston's Eggleston's Guide. There's also a dedicated photo books thread that's worth a read through.

Sorry if I missed an appropriate megathread, but can someone recommend a service for ordering high-resolution photo prints? I really don't want to spend the money on a new printer, but I'd like to get some of my stuff printed so that I can give framed photos as gifts.
