Re: Four Thirds Camera/Lenses
PS: What is considered the ultimate digital camera body for macro work? I'm going to do "point/counterpoint" here, and say there is an "ultimate" digital body: the Canon 40D. Only Canon cameras have mirrors that stay locked up during liveview operation. Nikon bodies (right up to my D3) and four thi...

I've built so many odd-ball illumination systems I've lost count. A 4x5 view camera, rosewood boards, aluminum rails, with a double extension scheme to take the rail up over 30 inches for macro use. I took a Nikon extension tube, cut a hole in the side, added a 45 degree angled beam splitter mirror ...

Of course there are practical applications. The images he makes are very similar to the fractal images I generate using the "Chaoscope" software. Just two days ago at MPW, we projected those fractals using a Canon digital projector onto the body of a nude woman and photographed her. What could be mo...

I learned both those techniques in the darkroom 25+ years ago, using rubylith masks.
Four shots is a lot for a focus stack in a darkroom, two is plenty for HDR

I think what you're missing is that for most photography, you know where you need your tilt from the beginning, so positioning the angle isn't much trouble. And for macro, this is even more true. I have three ballheads, two gear heads, and a four way pan head (yup, four way. Benbo, who else). Of the...

I love mine... The thing is sturdy. I've had an extended rail macro 4x5 view camera on it. The 45 degree cut takes a little getting used to, you might need to practice with it for, oh, five minutes or so before you start to get comfortable with it. Then you realize that parked reasonably well, it ha...

You're welcome Toni... In NX and NX2, Nikon split the "tethered shooting" function (which gives you the exposure meter) off into a separate program called "Camera Control NX". Nikon Capture 4 was the last version where the camera control was part of the Nikon Capture package. There's a 30 day free t...
