That's pretty cool and I could see a lot of people who spend lots of time doing post work buying them, the build quality also looks really good. Heck, I'd be tempted; dinking around with little sliders in LR, even on a 30" monitor, is one of my least favourite parts of photography. I was actually thinking of picking up a three-pedal USB setup on eBay and seeing if it helped much in my workflow (think mostly for sorting photos into keepers/not), dials/sliders would be a lot more useful for the actual editing.

That looks cool but I'd be super skeptical of the reliability of the electronics.

If you want photos you've Favorited on Flickr, instagram, etc. to cycle for your background, I found this: http://johnsad.ventures/software/backgroundswitcher/windows/

I don't get the soundboard style Lightroom controls thing. Especially if there's only a couple of sliders. Like, what two sliders are you consistently using on every picture? Unless there is something I'm missing I feel like if you are touching the sliders enough to even think you need a LR DJ booth then you have severely hosed up at operating the camera.

I'm intrigued by those arcade buttpns though because I currently have a mouse button profile setup for quick editing in LR (and CPO) so I can use the thumb buttons to cycle through and mark nonkeepers. I would rather use those buttons for tool hotkeys like I do in PS and having expandability would let me add other stuff to my workflow without adding an additional step.

It's so you can move the clarity/HDR sliders to 100%, then use the physical sliders to move them to 200%. Then you will be crowned ALL POWERFUL KING OF FLICKR (COMMENT ONE LIKE THREE).

You probably need to calibrate, that's clearly only 99% slider to the right. You might have received a malfunctioning unit.

Hate doing that with the mouse, I use the keyboard, but I get why you might want a button for doing that. It's the sliders that are weird to me.

Shooting nightclubs and concerts you sometimes have to drastically adjust the color temp and exposure every few photos. You can go from bright blue strobes lighting everything to a yellow spot and back in seconds. There are plenty of circumstances where lighting conditions change quickly and you don't have time to stop and adjust your settings. I feel like the dials would be more intuitive than the sliders though.

There are plenty of circumstances where lighting conditions change quickly and you don't have time to stop and adjust your settings. I think you're overthinking it. No one really cares if a concert or nightclub photo comes out exactly colour balanced as it was in real life. The lighting is so crazy at those events that it's not even worth worrying about. The question is more whether the lighting is so crappy (all green stage lights, what a great idea!) that you should convert to black and white or keep it in colour. In shooting years of concerts, I don't think I've ever touched the white balance sliders.

HPL posted:No one really cares if a concert or nightclub photo comes out exactly colour balanced as it was in real life. I do. And it's less about color accuracy and more about counteracting yellow/blue lighting to get normal skin tones. It doesn't always work and some photos still look best in black and white and some photos even look cool with harsh color casts but I still mess with white balance constantly. But yeah, overthinking is probably an accurate word to describe how I edit anything.

I get bothered by a lot of stuff too but then I ask myself if the people viewing my photos give a poo poo and I would say 99.999999% of them don't. Concert photography is more about emotion and capturing the moment as opposed to technical perfection and really, unless you're showing photos to other photographers, the regular public miss a ton of details. A perfect example is when I get a burst of three shots and the one with perfect composition is blurry and the other two are clear but just before and just after the perfect moment. It kills me that I can't use the shot I want, but then again no one but me ever sees it so no one's the wiser if I use either of the other shots.

That's how I approach poo poo I don't care about, or how I manage to get paid gigs with deadlines done on time, but when it's something I personally care about then I'd rather spend the time on it to make myself happy. I mean if you're going to measure your work by "is this going to impress the average person who doesn't know poo poo about photography" you could just throw your camera in full auto and not even edit at all and do okay. And yeah emotion is the most important element of concert photography (and pretty much all photography involving people), but I try to challenge myself to get good emotion shots that are also technically on point. It all comes down to personal preference, though. If the entire world told me a photo I hated was awesome I would still think it sucked. I was just trying to explain why a person might be using sliders more often than someone shooting all natural light or carefully setup studio shoots or whatever.

I used to mess with WB constantly when I shot concerts for school, then someone said not to worry about it, keep it on 5600k. It was probably even a goon here, but the reasoning was that if the stage is bathed in blue, the viewer is going to understand why the singer/guitarist/whoever is blue. Inventing perfect skin tones that weren't present is almost like cheating the viewer by presenting an inauthentic scene. All photos are bad, do what you want, who cares

If any of you should happen to be in Iceland on January 30th, you can sign up now for a free walk with some Nat Geo photographers here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/national-geographic-yourshotmeetup-iceland-registration-20125402621 P.S. I hate you if you get one of the 10 positions.

InternetJunky posted:Apparently "cancel my order" means something different to this store. I doubt I can use that much ink this year but even if I could that's an expense I could have done without right now. May I be the first to suggest perhaps returning your $1,300 order that you could do without? You aren't responsible for their gently caress up, if they give you poo poo then tell them you are returning the stock and having your CC company preform a chargeback.

I'm not normally one to crap on ideas, but this seems like a bad idea. It's the kind of thing people will latch on to for a few months out of novelty and then quickly abandon it when they figure out what a pain in the rear end it is. The cartridges hold about two and a half minutes each and will cost $50-75 per cartridge. If you're an indie film maker, you're going to blow your budget just on film stock alone, never mind having to mail everything back to Kodak and pray it a) turns out and b) doesn't get lost in the mail. I mean, all power to Kodak for trying something different, but I'm not seeing a lot of upside to this.

"There are some moments that digital just can't deliver, because it doesn't have the incomparable depth and beauty of film. These moments inspired Kodak to design a new generation of film cameras." Could you give me an example of such a moment?
