Wow, what a giant pain! I feel for ya... All of my backups go onto twin/duplicate drives...BUT they are kept offline whenever I'm doing any maintainance on ANY drive. Just to avoid such situations. While it won't take the sting out of this event...it might be something to think about in future. Good luck.

light control. My last studio was in a basement type setup and what wasn't black was dark gray, curtained off with black drapes, etc. the only light that hit the subject was the light you aimed at them. my current studio is all white with a light floor. some areas have muslins hanging. I have a very hard time doing low key - light bounces all over the place and creates more fill than I want most of the time. Great if you're shooting...

There's a world of difference between wanting to prepare your own meal at a restaurant and wanting to edit your own photos. In a restaurant you're in someone else's place of business and should be respectful of that. But in a wedding the photographer is present on your special day and should be respectful of that. Too many photographers think of it as their place of business, not your wedding. This lack of understanding is...

Why does noise matter if you are so far away your need a 300mm lens. And what kind of studio is so dim you need 6400? Just curious. BAK

It is amazing how one's online presence is SO PERSISTANT, and how we (often) are creatures of habit in the handles we select. Timberwolf - I do like San Francisco, and have relatives in several locations around the Bay area - although I'm happy just to visit, not live there...LOL BTW - Here in the midwest, a Bachelorette's Nite Out on the town is something rarely captured on camera (before cellphone cameras, of course). Are...

It is often said that there is an almost intangible quality to images from MF, even though technical measurements do not seem to reflect this, or even suggest that there is no benefit! I am pretty sure that this is the element you seek and, if you have the finances to support it, will not regret embarking on this path. Common sense suggests that you aren't going to get rubbish results through the equipment!! Although I'm sure you...

This is the third case I've heard about in as many months of a photographer loosing his entire business due to poor data management. You should always have an offline backup of your images, preferable stored somewhere offsite somewhere in case your office burns down. Additionally, and this is what got you, whenever doing any form of destructive maintenance (such as a disk format) you should disconnect any devices containing critical...

I would be very interested to see some of your work from the 70's. You can always just scan and upload to photobucket or the like and post them here. If you are really the pioneer that you claim to be, you should be proud to post your work for all of us to see.
