    Strobe studio kit <$350 recomendations

    Get some cheap shop lights from your local DIY store and play with those. Stay away from strobes yet...stick with the hot lights and learn how light behaves. Get some sheets to diffuse the lights with. Get some foam core reflectors and play with how different surfaces bounce light back into...

    Speed Graphic on the Mormon Trail

    Here are a few shots with the Speed Graphic from a recent trip I did with a youth church group doing a re-enactment on the Mormon Trail. At least one double-exposure...whoops! But, I kind of like it with the 'mistake'. I'll consider it a happy accident.

    Springbar: Made in America?

    I was at the place that they MAKE the Springbar tents last week. They did a quick little custom sewing job for me right on site. I love those guys.

    iPhone SLR mount

    That Letus adapter is pretty cool actually. Big, bulky and heavy, not to mention a bit cumbersome...but it does what it does pretty well. I filmed a commercial for Harmon's last year using one and a tilt/shift Canon lens on it. You can see the commercial here. But, I agree with everything...

    Lightroom at Utah Valley University

    The other class had their final critique today. I encourage you to look at the following final projects that were turned in. I am a strong proponent of visual story telling. It is one thing I expect my students to learn. This crop I had during this summer did an excellent job of it. Jenisse...

    Digitizing Film Slides

    Look great man. Scans are really clean and also cleaned up. Very nice job. I wonder what film was used? Ektachrome? They all look slightly blue-ish and green-ish in an 'old Ektachrome' kind of way. EDIT: Just looked at the captions. Kodachrome 64 eh? I had a lot of blue in my original...

    Digitizing Film Slides

    I use the flash b/c I am looking for consistency, a small f/stop and the ability to copy slides whenever I want. True, you do not have to use a strobe, I just chose to b/c I have about six of them. It is interesting to note that even with the strobe's perfectly predictable color temperature, I...
