I can't stand when people I am taking photos of ask for photos with their cell phones???? It drives me CRAZY!!! anyone else? lol
rant over

oh and another pet peeve when you mistakenly stand by a backdrop at the wrong time and people swamp you for photos lol
uhhhhh do my best Usain Bolt impression
unless of course, you were hired for that purpose

 

When I was involved with Fashion Week, a bunch of models contacted me through Facebook asking for pictures, so I'd give it to them... then they'd post/share it on Instagram/facebook but AFTER they butchered the pictures using Instagram filters AND THEN they'd tagged me... At that point I usually untag myself

 

FML.

5D classic

the mirror popped out on the 5D... it was supposedly fixed.

Anyone know if Canon Irvine will still service it?

if not I'll have to find a place local in the SF Bay Area

 

I guess I now have 2 mirrorless cameras

 

so i just attempted to fix this myself.
So far so good, i can see stuff again thru the viewfinder. AF is working. metering seems to be working too.
Just cant take a picture yet until the glue cures more.

Mirrorless 5D


This is the back of the mirror, luckily it didnt break when I took off the lens and it fell out of the camera.



The arrows indicate where i put 4 small drops of superglue, the same spots where canon put their junk adhesive.

 

So far so good

 

Following up from above, my fix has held up well during my trip to Europe. Took about 1200 pictures. No issues with AF or metering

If I can make it out to Laguna Seca, that would be the real test as I was shooting in continuous mode when the mirror detached

 

Anyone have any good suggestions for camera gear storage in my house? I've definitely out grew storing everything in my Lowepro Flipside 300 (which also needs to be replaced)

i currently have random lenses and gear laying around my room in my bookshelf, floor or desk.

doesnt necessarily need to be a hard case, just something to protect the items from dust/crap and can maybe shoved into a bookshelf

 

Get some cut up foam and a use a drawer. I use a Pelican insert on a armoire shelf.

 

Hmmm
actually this is a good idea, maybe I'll get a size that I can also put into a carry on sized suitcase.

 

one way to do it, I guess

 

 

LoL, he's shooting tethered too.

 

Reminds me of the guy who strapped a Sony A7S to his helmet as an action camera

 

All that heavy hardware, and tie straps are the anchor of the camera..., sad dumbass!


A camera plate screwed into the corner bracket would work better.

 

The camera is most likely secured via the 1/4 20 screw underneath. The zip ties are probably for safeties.

it actually appears to be a pretty thought out rig...this is the kind of stuff you never see on behind the scenes of movies/show, etc...but this is exactly what the grip dept does and it gets the job done.

 

Bye, bye, 800e..., sad to let you go. Now, to wait until a XT-2 is in stock...... I had one on hold Thursday, told them to sell it. Didn't want to buy until I sold D800e, more pressure on me to sell it.

 

 

But knowing it's going to be taking pictures of half or whole naked woman....., makes me wish I installed somekind of secret sensor.

 

How bad of a hit did you have to take?

 

Got $1300

 

Damn. Not much more than I got for my 800

 

It's about what I expected. Saw the price of a used D800(e) drop $500, the day the D810 was announced. But it's $400 more than what my local guy would give.

 

Attended the local Photo Expo this weekend. Won 2nd place in Fine Art category and was award a Vendor award for my Goldfinch image, the lady that awarded me the ribbon, also PURCHASED the print!!

 

 

That's awesome Jeff! Gorgeous shots! Did you mount and mat the prints yourself?

 

Thank you!! Yes, always do. And for this competition, I cut my own mats from scratch for a couple images.


One thing I forgot to mention, my son was awarded as well. He was one of ten finals for the school aged competition, out of 160 entries. Was really cool to be up on stage with him!

 

nicely done boss.

 

 

 

Encrypted cameras

https://www.wired.com/2016/12/200-fi...ypted-cameras/

 

Very important and it is surprising they don't have it in place yet after all this time. Only thing will be how to make the hit on write/buffer speed manageable. The cameras will need faster processors etc.

 

I thought canon already had a data encryption accessory for the 1D series?

That data security kit

 

nvm, i see that it was discontinued.

They had one for the 1D series cameras up to the mark III models.

 

Not sure if this ad is a joke or not (that last part )

 

I don't see any problem...????


:wink:

 

Yea, what's the problem
