  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Tsk tsk....

    One of my friends on facebook changed their picture to a pair of Opus cigar bands and said, "Im going to keep this cover photo until I get the chance to finally enjoy one of these BAD BOYS". Stunned, I asked him if it's true he's never had an Opus (because the word "cigar" is in his FB name)...

    Photography Critiques Corner

    I shoot with a Sony a65 24.3mp primarily or a Sony hx100 hybridwhen I can't get a dslr through the door (security, depending on the venue). I have the SanDisk extreme card now and remove the photos from it once I import them to my computer. But a camera writing a 24mb file is not the fastest...

    Hope you don't mind but I played around with your image as well. I don't get to play with raw images all that often as I mostly photograph events and need to be able to take shots in rapid succession. Gotta play with them more.

    Jonas Brothers Event Shoot

    I have to be honest, they're music isn't for me either. But they were some of the nicest celebrities I've met. They welcomed each fan, shook their hands, thanked them for coming out and made everyone feel welcome. After everything, they went over to a group of people that gathered outside the...

    Jonas Brothers Event Shoot

    So, I was asked by another radio station to shoot their event at the beach today. It was the radio station staff vs. The Jonas Brothers (they won) at Jones Beach, NY. There was a pre-event interview, meet & greet with some of the listeners and the game itself. I took a total of 300 pictures...

    Photo Newb Question

    To expand on Heath's post, invest your money in lenses. You're better off with a great lens and an okay camera than you are with a sub-par lens on a great camera.

    Photo Newb Question

    Pretty much anything Carl Zeiss but you're going to pay for it. Check to see if one of the preset settings on your camera is Background Defocus. That allows you to get some pretty up close shots with great depth-of-field. The Macro lens that you have listed seems like a good lens to me. That...

    I actually talked to Adobe about this and LR will still continue to function just as it does. You just won't be able to upgrade it any further.

    Better hurry up and buy it because Adobe is doing away with stand alone software and will be charging $40 a month for their cloud service.

    Haven't played with that yet. Been using Lightroom. Downside to LR is that doesn't do layers, but there's a suite of products that acts like an add-on to LR that lets do it.

    What software are you using to edit?

    Photography Critiques Corner

    If you have the ability to edit in layers, you could increase the contrast and tint of the red and/or increase the blacks and shadows.
