ZoCrowes posted:I've posted on here before about the fact that my main interest in photography is underwater work. I've done quite a bit myself but my Dad did back in the 70's as well. I'm not sure why he ever quit taking photos but he is still in the dive industry. Anyway I've run across some old photos and have been working on a few of them and I thought you guys might like to see some of them. Those are neat as hell. Does he still have the old camera? The first one and shot of someone swimming next to the wall of seaweed is cool.

To play devil's advocate for a second, a lot of P&S cameras, and things like the Powershot G11 and Olympus EP-1 and EP-2 have shown a lot of promise compared to full-bore DSLRs. They're not equivalent, and may never be, but they're getting a lot closer in some aspects. A ton of people are buying DSLRs just because "I want better pictures!" and probably never take them out of AUTO in their lifetime. I think some of these cameras are taking advantage of that market, as well as the DSLR enthusiasts who might want something a little more pocketable.

Brozekiel posted:It's definitely possible to do it in camera by zooming out the same speed he's moving at you (like you said). Try it with cars driving down the road some time. It's drat hard, or more likely impossible, to keep your subject in focus though. I've taken shots like this accidentally before. Dakana pulled off a shot like this over in the sports thread too. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2777/4263643188_8dcfc4dda2.jpg

I'm at 5'4" and the people I photograph who are taller than me I catch a weird lower angle. I'm not quite eye level, when I happen to get to a taller vantage, I think the photo comes out better. Could be worse. I'm 6'6" and a ton of the big athletes I shoot wind up looking like 7th graders.

orange lime posted:I found this site: Ken Rockwell facts (a la Chuck Norris) "Before Nikon or Canon releases a camera they go to Ken and they ask him to test them, the best cameras get a Nikon sticker and the less good get a Canon sticker. Once Ken tested a camera, he said I cant even put Canon on this one, that's how Pentax was born." Fuckin' EDIT: "Ken Rockwell never produces awful work, only work too advanced for the viewer." Boy if that isn't the loving truth.

fenner posted:This looks like hella fun, DSLR hooked up to an RC choppa. A "cheap" way to get some aerial photography done. TFR/GBS's Bushman (yeah he's a goofball but stick with me here) rigged up a camera (it may have actually been a disposable or a quick P&S) to an RC airplane to get aerial shots of pigs causing damage to his rice farm. It was actually pretty impressive. I'll see if I can dig up how he did it. EDIT: Here we go. It was an old Sony camcorder, whoops. DJExile fucked around with this message at 14:24 on May 10, 2010 |

You guys who photograph models or others on rooftops, cliffs, etc. Please be very aware of what you're doing. Tom Bridegroom was a very good friend of mine from high school and he fell from a 4-story rooftop while photographing a model. Trust your gut, if something doesn't seem right, or you're not sure about your setup, change it.

mr. mephistopheles posted:Sorry about your friend, but that's just such a bizarre story to me. I can't ever imagine not being aware of my surroundings under those circumstances. Yeah it's a wild story to be sure, and I'd always known Tom to be a very responsible guy. Smart as hell too. I'm wondering if he just got caught up in the moment, or just took one step back too many. I don't know if details beyond that news story will be released. I tend to doubt it. nonanone posted:I just keep thinking of that photo of Leibovitz on that roof with the gargoyles with her assistant grabbing her by the shirt as she leans out. Whenever I'm doing something dangerous I have someone spot me, because I tend to get sucked up in the shooting. It's really easy to do. I shoot over the top of the glass in a local hockey rink and in wanting to get a good shot of a guy shooting, or a goalie reacting to it, I'll lose track of where the puck is, and more than a few have come plenty close to giving me a good headache.
