Helped out a friend at a wedding, and being the second or third option makes for a less stressful situation, and you can be more free\u00a0in getting the\u00a0shots.\u00a0 It was blazing hot in the Georgia summer, and me sweating,\u00a0loaded down with gear.\u00a0 I shoot lots of cameras\/lens combos\u00a0because each one gives me a different look for different situations.\u00a0 While I could possibly cover most things with a simple 50mm lens, sometimes it’s\u00a0good to have more crayons in the box.\u00a0 The gear you have, expensive or otherwise, does\u00a0nothing sitting back at the house or in your trunk.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Above and Below: Nikkor\u00a050mm f\/1.4\u00a0Manual Focus on the Canon, could not stay in the sun for longer than a few minutes, the heat this summer is really oppressive.\u00a0 Strobist stuff wasn’t working for me outside, and the setup time was a bit too long, time was short, so good practice to just take people into the shade.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Photographing\u00a0anything exactly at noon in the summer is generally bad because of the harsh sun and shadows, but again, use it and work with it.\u00a0 Next pix from the Sigma IR SD14.\u00a0 This camera actually likes this light, and the healthy amount of sun really makes the plant life pulsate.\u00a0 The images don’t look like this out of the camera, the .x3f’s get run through about 3 applications.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily the heat drove away most of the ball players in the background at Piedmont Park, so less to touch up.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These days, a lot is still made out of megapixel ratings\u00a0on cameras (which has nothing to do with sensor size or quality).\u00a0 Even Sigma\/Foveon still succumb to the inadequacies of their marketing department by rating their\u00a0images as a ~14 MP\u00a0canvas size coming from a 4 MP RGB sensor.\u00a0 6 MP from an APS-C sized sensor\u00a0if you ask me is still plenty for most things.\u00a0We live in a world where we hardly look at prints anymore anyway, even these small images on my site here are, resolution wise, less than half of a megapixel.\u00a0 Lenses and vision are still way more important than cramming pixels on to a chip to justify that one day people will print out native resolution\u00a020×30″s.\u00a0 Last time I checked most people keep photo albums on their phone anyway, and pictures in the wallet just don’t mean as much anymore…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not quite 100% crop, but you get the idea.\u00a0 Other places can best explain image resampling and interpolation when it comes to digital images, but no one really likes to talk about composition anymore.\u00a0 While cameras and lenses and how you shot it f\/stop and shutter speed wise are choices and decisions, most important is still composition, finding the patterns and lines that help a person construct a picture.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
