Jim: 5 Things I Learned This Week

Difference last trip to this one. WAY better pictures.
The AF on the Sony A6300 is not as fast as the Fuji XPro2. X Pro 2 has better autofocus than a DSLR. First mirrorless camera that has even come CLOSE to that. Testing with kids.
The Fuji 10-24 is the bane of my existence. Not on lens roadmap. Blow drying in hotel.
SOOOO many landscapes are missing the “soul” of the shot. Include a person, a boat, a cactus, a rock, whatever.
A wet lens ruined two of my favorite compositions

Nick:
Slowing down, and getting accustomed to more time for the shot
Less is more.. I only used two lenses
Pack your coat in your carryon
Nick : Why every photographer should visit iceland at least once

The light

The light lasts forever this time of year.. Forget about golden hour.. Its more like golden three hour, and the sunsets last forever giving you more time for compositions
The sky is always changing.. Sometimes for the better, sometimes to crush your hopes but it keeps you on your toes and is fun to shoot in.

The people

Everyone speaks english and is very friendly and helpful, they are used to dealing with lost americans

The subjects

The island is just packed with photogenic mountain peaks, glaciers, icebergs and even raindier

New Host on this week’s Podcast: Laryssa Gobets
Questions of the Week:

Zach Campbell: I am shooting a prom this weekend and am wondering about how you guys would recommend keeping all the shots in order with the people who order them.

Sungki Li: Jim said not to use long exposure noise reduction as it speeds up your shooting at night. Why wouldn’t you want to reduce the noise in pictures using this technology?

Zach Campbell: I have a yongnuo IV flash. Is it normal for the batteries to get so hot you can’t hold them? I was shooting some senior photos yesterday and the flash and batteries got so hot I couldn’t touch them.

Questions of the Week:

Radhika Dixit: I just accidentally deleted all my 2016 photos from Lightroom… and when I was asked if I wanted them off the hard drive as well, I clicked ‘yes’. Stupid. Are they gone for good?

March 24, 2016 Improve Photography Roundtable (EP 167)

Questions of the Week:

Gary Lingenfelder – You recently talked about how focus stacking can easily be accomplished in Photoshop. Is there a way to do it in Lightroom?
Tim Evans – Any other canon users (I use a t4i) notice that the camera sometimes oversaturates red colors? Even when I’m using a custom camera profile made with my color checker, reds have almost no detail in them.
Eric Psota – Canon 80D is ISO invariant

5 Minute Segments:
Nick – Storm chasing season is here

* Use apps like my radar, and Weather bug to track lightning strikes, and track the direction the storm cells are traveling
* Have location ideas in your area in mind before hand that way you can jump from scene to scene as the storm moves
* Shoot from the edges of the storm.. Not from the middle of the storm
* Find objects to silhouette against the sky
* Long lenses compress the lightning in a way that make it look huge
Rain covers, remote triggers and lots and lots of lens cloths

Jim – Is the Drobo too Proprietary? Choosing a good RAID system/NAS
Doodads of the Week!

Jim: Drobo 5D
