  • Finding the View and Zooming It Too

    I've watched the furor over the matter of the "missing" optical viewfinder (OVF) on the Olympus E-P1—not only here but all over the web—with bemused curiosity. Maybe I just understand camera design a bit more thoroughly than the average bear, but, to me, it was a given from the very first that a Micro 4/3 camera wouldn't have an OVF. At least, not a built-in, all-purpose one. Not a surprise.

    It's a case of classic opposing design parameters. My standard example of an opposing design parameter is a sailboat hull. You can have a hull that goes fast through the water, or you can have a hull that holds a lot of cargo. But you can't optimize for both at the same time. The more one parameter is optimized, the more the other is compromised. For a given amount of speed you can try to optimize capacity, and for a given amount of capacity you can try to optimize speed, but to say you want both to be optimized at the same time is oxymoronic, like saying you want long hair but you want it really short.

    The situation is a little more complicated in the case of an OVF on a camera, because we're looking at more than just two parameters, but we should at least ascribe the problem to its real cause: the trouble is the popularity of zoom lenses.

    Once you decide to provide interchangeable lenses, then you must provide a zoom. Photographers functioned well for 7/8ths of the medium's history without zooms to speak of, but now most people want them, and if a company wants to sell cameras then it has to provide a zoom or zooms. And once the decision is made to provide a zoom lens, then any non-TTL (through the lens) OVF is out. It's not just that a good non-TTL zooming optical finder is difficult to implement, and it's not just that any such finder would be large and expensive. The problem is that the physical bulk of lens gets in the way of the finder's view.

    Leicavf

    Even on a rangefinder Leica, some of the more recent premium primes are large enough to block a significant portion of the view. The picture above is a quick shot taken with a D700 and 28mm of the view through a Leica M7 .58 viewfinder. The gray bars are the framelines (they're brighter to the eye). Despite the "ventilated" lens hood on the 35mm Summilux ASPH lens, the lens blocks the lower right-hand portion of the field of view. (That strange-looking structure in the yard is a "square foot garden," in case you're wondering. I have a bad back, so I built it up in the air. Keeps the durn rabbits out, too.)

    Zooms are bigger than prime lenses, even fast premium Leica primes. Big zoom, small camera? A built-in optical finder in a small or even medium-sized non-TTL camera is going to be blocked by the lens.

    So the camera's designers have a couple of choices. They can stick to a single-focal-length fixed lens, in which case an OVF makes good sense. They can stick with a set of moderate primes (i.e., no superwides or super-teles), in which case they can still design a built-in OVF (that's the classic rangefinder solution), although it would be considerably more complicated, and compromises start to enter into it. Or they can dispense with the OVF altogether in favor of an electronic viewfinder (EVF) (this is what the Panasonic G1's designers opted for). Or they can dispense with the built-in OVF and provide a clip-on type suited only for one lens of one focal length (the Oympus E-P1 solution, so far).

    But all this garment-rending and teeth-gnashing about the E-P1 not having an OVF is just...misguided. Mistaken. Not gettin' it. Just try imagining it—what is it you want? How would it work? What would the problems be? Try imagining it, and you'll see. You want handling like a Porsche or hauling like a semi? You can't have both at once.

    The trouble is that the market as a whole demands its zooms. To murder the old saying about having your cake and eating it too, you can't find the view and zoom it too.

  • On Assignment: HCAC Dancer
    I am working on several projects this summer, the most enjoyable of which being a series of portraits for the Howard County Arts Council.

    I photographed Kassi, a dancer, for this series and got a chance to play with one of the two-light techniques we talked about earlier. This was also the first chance I got to use a new boom setup that is a little heavier duty than the one featured earlier this week.

    More, inside.
    __________


    Riaz Redux

    I normally like to play around with new lighting styles before trying them out on an assignment. In this case, I used the small-flash lighting class in Dubai earlier this year as the guinea pig for this shoot. You might recognize the top photo as being lit similarly to that of Riaz, the first example in the two-light portrait series.

    There are a couple of differences, but the grid key / umbrella fill was a common denominator for both. In shooting Riaz, I had the umbrella squished right up under the lens. With Kassi, I put the umbrella on the floor with a flash mounted to it but with no stand.

    I used an umbrella swivel adapter to attach an SB-800, and stuck the assembly on the ground. The umbrella rests at about the correct angle for uplighting a low-to-the-ground subject by itself.

    Ratios were done without a meter and without regard to any absolute settings, as usual. I positioned the fill light first and altered my flash power and/or aperture until I saw a nice baseline exposure for the frame.

    Generally, I like to get it to a full exposure, and then drop my power level on the flash or close down the aperture until I get a nice looking floor to the fill light. The idea is to use the fill as a sort of safety net, to lift the shadows that will be formed by the key light, lest they get too dark and contrasty. If you are coming from off axis with the fill, you'll also introduce a second angle to the overall light.

    I really liked the look of the low-in fill, as it gave its own shape to the subject -- much more so that would an on-axis fill. But as much as I liked the shape of the fill, I was going back and forth on the shadow that it threw over Kassi's head and shoulders.

    In the end, I wanted the direction of the light, but not the shadow. So I toned the latter way down in post. There is definitely a procedural learning curve for me, even two full years after leaving the tightly controlled Photoshop environment of The Sun.

    I have to remember to loosen up, as my default is typically to "do it the newspaper way." But then I remember if I were personally doing everything the newspaper way today, I would be drowning in debt and arbitrarily lopping off perfectly good body parts in a misguided attempt to get a "good return on investment."


    Oh well. Back to the light.

    The key, as you can see, is a gridded SB-800. We have already locked in the fill level and shooting aperture, so the key level is set by altering the flash's power level. (We can also move the flash closer or further away, but that would change the look of the light.)

    Unlike the grid on Riaz, I wanted to catch Kassi's face and body with the key but mostly miss the wall on the leading edge. This way I could control the tone in the white wall, even though she was leaning against it. To do that, I didn't aim the grid at her face, but rather out in front of her face a little bit. So her face is nearer to the edge of the beam than in the center of it.

    A grid on a speedlight is a very small light source and thus produces very hard shadows at this distance. But I know they won't fall too far off of the table because I built my fill light first. The combination is soft vs. hard, high vs. low and tight light vs. everywhere light brings a lot of different contrast layers into play. If I wanted, I could have used a 1/2 CTB on the fill and a 1/2 CTO on the key to add a neat color contrast in there, too.


    A Bigger Boom

    For another look, we wanted to do Kassi dancing. She is very athletic, and incorporates that into her routines. So we set up to light a photo of her leaping.

    I knew she would be looking back over her shoulder at me, and wanted to light her face from a flattering angle. To do that, you have to find the position of her face and then get the light wherever it need to be to hit that angle.

    In Kassi's case, to three-quarter light her, we'd have to be above, behind and camera-right of her face when she looked over her shoulder. So we were going to need to get the key up pretty high -- especially considering we'd be going through an umbrella, too.

    For that I used a bigger, heavier-duty boom than the Interfit model we talked about earlier this week. I used a Paul Buff counter-weighted boom arm attachment on a 13-foot light stand. I got this to be able to get my bigger flash heads up high. And while it is not super heavy duty, it is sufficient for that kind of work.

    You buy it in two pieces -- the stand and the boom arm. The stand is a heavy-duty, 13-foot stand, which is also a great thing to have kicking around when you need it. The boom assembly includes a two-section extension pole, a multi-angle clamp and comes with an 11-pound, slide-able counterweight. They total up to $160.

    Needless to say, this is rock solid for a speedlight, and I also have been happy with it in a supporting role for both my SB's and my WL's.


    So, here's the setup. The key light is above/behind/camera right, through an umbrella. There is a back/separation light (an SB-800) hiding way back at camera right on a compact, 5-section stand.

    The key light location was trial and error, done as Kassi worked through a few practice leaps. In the end, it was a perfectly logical location, given the position of her face. Kassi's leap put her about two feet in front of, and to camera left, of the umbrella.

    The fill was a bigger problem, as we could not just open the shutter to let if build up the ambient. By balancing that way, we would have lost the shutter needed to freeze the leap. So it would all have to come from flash.

    It had to be soft, come from close to on-axis and reach back to light the back wall, too. So I needed a physically big light source, coming from the camera's direction and pretty far back. Fortunately, our room was a neutral, light color, so the wall 15 feet or so behind me became my modifier.


    I fired a WL 600 into that wall, building a nice, soft, directionless fill that would be far enough back to reach back to the background wall without losing too much oomph. My shooting position was about three feet in front of the light.

    If you are in a neutral room, always consider your walls as possible huge bounce surfaces that you can employ as everything from a soft key to a humongous soft ring-like fill. But you'll need some power if you are going to use it over a large area.

    This is one of many examples of a way in which you can use a monobloc with smaller flashes. Ironically, the SB is my key and the WL 600 is the fill. This doesn't make a lot of sense, unless you consider how much more efficient a close-in, umbrella'd light is than another light bounced way back off of a wall and having to carry another 30-40 feet after that.

    Having a big light in your back allows you wallpaper fill light over a large area while accenting with SB's.

    In case you were wondering, that is Kassi's headshot as an example in the first boot camp assignment, too. Hopefully, your version is going well as we chug inexorably toward the due date . . .


    And, Speaking of Photoshop

    This is apropos of almost nothing, other than it is the audible equivalent of Photoshopping one person's head onto another person's body. But as I write this post, I am listening to an absolutely fantastic CD -- Ray Sings, Basie Swings, featuring Ray Charles and the (post-Basie) Count Basie Orchestra.

    What is amazing about it, technically, is that the two never actually performed together. But they were digitally combined to produce the concert that never was. Ray Charles' contribution was from 1973 -- prime time for him -- and the Basie Orchestra's was from 2006.

    It is absolutely kickass. Musically, technically, recording quality -- everything. I am listening to it, cranked way up, in the family room of our new house.

    We just moved in yesterday, and I don't have internet here yet as I write this. But the kids are already meeting new friends on the street, and there is enough furniture in place to where it is already starting to feel like home.

  • Q 'n A
    Meredith, of Jackson, Mississippi, asks:

    I'm in the process of setting up a studio in a new space. We were trying to pick paint colors, and the rest of the building has a black ceiling.

    The photo studio, I think, should obviously have white walls instead of some crazy color. But then we were questioning the ceiling color -- should it be white, or black? (It is a very small room.)

    Which would you do? If it sounds arbitrary, give it a little thought before making the jump.
    __________


    Meredith, if you think about it, you probably answered your own question when you brought up the room size. The classic color for a studio ceiling is black, since that controls unwanted reflections better than any other color.

    You can always put a light up there if you want top light. But you certainly won't want it all of the time, and that is what you'll get to a large degree when working in a "very small room."

    Small rooms are the most difficult for controlling stray light bounce, so the smaller your studio is, the darker you will probably want to paint the surfaces. If you can't escape light walls, you want to create some "negative fill" reflectors out of a flat black surface of some kinds.

    Bonus points: Paint your reflectors white on one side and black on the other, and you'll have it both ways. But the main point is that you want to be able to control the bounced light.

    And dark surfaces -- including the ceiling -- will help you do that.

    • For Over-the-Top Lighting Without an Over-the-Top Budget

      Pictured above is Joe McNally's assistant Drew Gurian acting as a voice-activated boom during a recent desert shoot (detailed here).

      While this boom is perfectly serviceable, one cannot always find a Drew hanging around in the desert when top light is needed. For the Drewless, an excellent and inexpensive speedlight boom solution, inside.
      __________


      The third cool thing I came across in Paso Robles (here is one and two) was a very slick little boom/stand photographer Sean Rolsen brought along.

      It is designed as a flex-reflector holder (it even comes with the clamps) but it does double duty as a sweet little speedlight boom.

      It is the Interfit Combi-Boom Stand, and the little joint where the stand turns into a boom is where the magic happens. The boom arm actually collapses into the main tubes of the stand itself -- you can even continue the boom arm straight up for extra height if you want.

      But if you pull it all the way out, it rotates. Then you slide it back into its little swivel clamp and you have a speedlight boom. It does not come with a counterweight, so this thing collapses nice and thin. But the opposite end of the boom has a hole where you can hook an improvised weight up to do the trick. A camera bag or something should fit the bill nicely.

      The combination pic below shows a detail of the boom joint, and how it operates. Looking at Sean's, it seemed just about perfect for lightweight speedlight use. But I would not consider it heavy duty by a long shot -- and I wouldn't put a lot of unnecessary torque on the clamp, either.

      (If you have it set up right, with your scrounged counterweight end extended enough to balance your flash reasonably well, there would be no reason to over torque it anyway.)


      There is no way you are gonna hang an AlienBee on this thing. A speedlight is about as far as it is gonna go. And it is gangly enough to not want to stick an umbrella up there in any wind at all. But for top light using speedlights in a nice, small package, it is hard to beat -- and an umbrella would be fine indoors.

      The elbow mechanism is pure genius, and the folks at Interfit are to be congratulated for that. (Those are the same guys who just debuted the "Strobies".) Also of interest is the price -- under $100.00. For lightweight, occasional boom use (and a stand when you do not need the boom) it appears to be a great solution.

  • Drop and Give Me Twenty
    For the last six months this site has been long on spoon-fed information and short on homework. The result: A bunch of soft, pasty, newcomers who have drifted in since the last time we did any real work around the place. You newbs have been coddled long enough.

    So, coming in June ...


    Boot Camp II

    Are you worthless and weak? Do you cry for your mama every time you need to balance a couple of flashes with the ambient?

    Are you still using TTL bounce flash?

    We are here to save you from yourself. This summer, you'll have the opportunity to get off your arse (as Zack would say) and do something.


    Worldwide Recession Edition

    Yeah, we know times are tough all over. Quitcher bellyaching and use this time to build your skills, to make contacts -- maybe even help someone out.

    And just to make things more interesting, we gots prizes coming. Each assignment will have a little bonus attached to it for the best butt-buster of the bunch.

    But more than that, you'll get a chance to see what photographers from all around the world create while working with your exact assignment.

    So, recharge those NiMH's, field strip your LP604's and bore-sight those home-made straw grids. Boot Camp II begins shortly. At oh-dark-thirty.

    As you were, maggots.

  • What it Takes to Light a Car
    I get a lot of upstream questions about lighting cars, and to be honest I am frequently at a loss what to say.

    To shoot a car effectively, you generally need huge soft boxes (or silks), many watt-seconds of light and a large, dedicated space. Take this photo, for instance, uploaded into the Strobist pool by Bryan Cook. It was lit by about $30,000.00 worth of Profoto gear, in a large studio designed exclusively for shooting automobiles.

    Just kidding. He did it in a cramped garage with five speedlights.

    Keep reading for a quick walk-thru, and how you could do something like this with just one speedlight.
    __________


    Here is the setup, minus two flashes. He used one on-camera (which traveled on-cam with this setup shot) and one in upper right that he could not get into the frame. You can see the light stand, tho.


    Sez Bryan:
    " ... Five strobes: One camera left and up high, one camera right snooted on the wheel, one up high camera right toward the rear of the car, one behind the right rear of the car, and one on camera zoomed 200mm at the front fascia. ..."

    He said would also have liked to have a couple extra speedlights to shoot under the car and to flick a little light on the side mirror. Yep, and I could also see a CTO'd interior light -- just a hint -- to give a smidge of defined info behind those tinted windows.

    You can do all of that with just one flash by shooting multiple frames and combining layers. You want things to be very still, of course, but you can solve any slight camera movement problems with the "align layers" tool in Photoshop. Just shoot a tad loose as there will be a slight crop involved after the alignments.

    When you get the layers aligned, I like to work with the work-in-progress on top and the incoming layer beneath. That way you can either choose "lighten" (lightest pixel wins), "screen" (like a classic, film-based multi-exposure) or simply erase to the new layer with a brush of any shape, size and/or opacity.

    If you want to know any more, go find someone like Ben Willmore or Matt Kloskowski, who wrote the book on the layers stuff. Pathetically, I just start to get interested in it when it keeps me from having to buy more flashes.

    For more auto inspiration (or perhaps a spasm of jealousy) check out Ken Brown's classic, all-in-one-frame shot of a vintage Mercedes Gullwing with just two bare SB-24's. Or you can go all bumper to bumper on it and join the Car Strobist group on Flickr.

    • Supercharged High Speed Sync, improved EOS 5D Mark II support in new firmware for PocketWizard MiniTT1, FlexTT5
      The latest firmware updates for the Canon versions of the LPA Design PocketWizard MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 improve the use of the new wireless radio system with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, provide a user-selectable starting shutter speed for HyperSync and correct several bugs. The biggest change, however, in the v4.250 firmware is a reworking of Canon High Speed Sync support that makes this Speedlite operating mode more powerful and efficient. With certain Canon cameras, the boost in both maximum Speedlite brightness and the shortening of recycle time at high shutter speeds is dramatic, relative to the Canon flash system without the aid of LPA Design's wireless radio remotes.

    • Banking on Backups

      This week my main workstation died.  As in, it acted as if it didn't have power getting to it.  My technical hubby tried installing a new power supply with no love.  After three years it had had enough.  Chances are it needs a new motherboard at the least..but we might as well rebuild the whole thing because so much as changed in three years!

      DisksSo the bad news...I have three years of pictures, templates, actions, and the like, stored in a way that I understand, on that machine.

      The good news...my husband was able to pop out the hard drive and get my data off of it for me.

      Now, when I get back to my office after a shoot, I copy the CF card to my machine with all the originals and make a copy straight to DVD of the originals.  I have a giant case of these DVDs.

       


      Most of my finished sessions are also archived to DVD or backed up to an external hard drive. 

      And my 2009 sessions have a DVD backup that has the originals and retouched files stored with their client contract.

      So I was feeling pretty good about myself.

      Then my computer wouldn't boot and I got a little panicked.  Did I really have EVERYTHING backed up from the last three years?  Would I be able to find it? 

      Since my husband could copy the stuff off the hard drive I'm not in any trouble (and if you are a client, your files are safe) but it did make me wonder...

      WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR BACKUPS?

      And there are different levels of backing up.  For example, if my computer melted down and I truly couldn't get anything from it, it would REALLY suck but I could recover from it.

      But if my loft burned to the ground, I'd be in much bigger trouble since my backup disks are stored here too.

      We looked into doing online backups a while ago and it seemed cost prohibitive.  Maybe the market has changed enough to reconsider?

      Outside of your data files, what steps do you take to make sure your business is "backed up".  Do you have off-site copies of your incorporation papers, your federal EIN assignment, important bank paperwork?

      What about all those templates you bought, the actions you bought, fonts that you have bought?  It is easy to forget to back those items up.

      How long do you keep client files archived or backed up?  I've heard of people getting rid of them after a year.

    • Add a light Source in Lightroom in 5 Easy Steps
      The Lightroom Graduated Filter tool can be used to add a secondary light source to an image where one was not in existence when you shot it. This often works better to rescue an unexposed area of an image than, for example, applying a Shadow/Highlight fix in Photoshop. 1. This image is extremely dark on the [...]

    • Basic Blunders: Flash
      We've all been guilty of the most basic blunders in capturing images with a digital camera. I'm not sure why … perhaps as the technology gets smarter, we get dumber, relying too much on the camera and forgetting the basics. Let's get back to the basics. The basic blunders. For many people, flash is a real challenge. [...]

    • By Mikkel Alland, From O'Reilly

      Reviewed by Ctein

      Photoshop CS3 RAW
      (U.K. link)

      Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure
      (U.K. link)

      When I started out as a reviewer, I tried to be scrupulously "objective" and never let personalities enter into my judgment. I will chalk it up to the obsessive perspective of youth: One gets a notion and that's just the way it is. Or maybe it was my scientific training: One strives to avoid letting personal feelings about researchers enter into evaluations of research (often difficult to do, but a laudable goal).

      The thing is, that wasn't how I lived my life. I patronized stores that treated me well and were run by decent people. If a manufacturer went out of their way to be nice to me (as an individual, not a reviewer) when I had a problem, I was inclined to buy more of their products. So where did I get the notion that the nice people shouldn't be rewarded in my writing?!

      I don't think I got a clue until I was in my 40s. Whatever. Nowadays, what I think of a supplier definitely affects how I consider their merchandise and I have no problem letting that affect my reviews. I'm being paid for my professional judgment, and my judgment is that this matters. I don't let pettiness (everybody should get cut slack for having a few bad days) nor maliciousness (they aren't bad just because they didn't buy my manuscript) enter into the equation.

      Mikkel's been a friend of mine for about two decades, and O'Reilly is comprised of some of the nicest and most generous people I've ever met in the publishing business (and, no, they haven't bought a book from me, dammit). So, when they sent me Photoshop CS3 RAW and Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure, I hoped for the best.

      Aaland-1 I was not disappointed. I am a very heavy user of Adobe Camera RAW and in no way a user of Lightroom (nor Aperture). Naturally, I picked up Photoshop CS3 RAW first and started skimming through it. I'm only 40% of the way through it and already I've learned several very useful things. Some are basics I just hadn't noticed: I didn't know I could zoom the Loupe in Bridge, and I didn't realize that the Option key previewed clipping in raw the way it does in Photoshop. Both of these apply to almost every photograph I edit.

      Some of what I learned is definitely not basic: I'll get less highlight and shadow clipping in ProPhoto RGB color space than AdobeRGB, my default space? Okay, I really need to look into that. And, although I'd been using Synchronize in ACR when working with panorama and HDR stacks, I didn't realize just how much it could synchronize for me (flawed pixel removal?!) or how useful it could be for bulk-correcting photographs.

      Understand that I'm not even into the meat of the book. I am so glad I'm a reviewer and O'Reilly gave me a copy of this, because I probably wouldn't have thought to buy it on my own and I would have been much poorer for that. Highly recommended.

      Aaland-2 Then we come to Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure. The conceit is a charming one. Mikkel and O'Reilly put together a small group of professional photographers and Adobe techies and send them off, expenses paid, on a photo expedition. For this edition, the destination was Tasmania. What a sweet gig!

      A sweet book resulted. Not only do you get Mikkel's encyclopedic knowledge of how to use Lightroom, but you get the particular and specific experiences of a dozen seriously good photo-educators (e.g., Katrin Eismann and Charlie Cramer) tossed into the mix.

      My situation reviewing this book is entirely opposite from Photoshop CS3 RAW. I'm not a Lightroom user, because I've never been able to figure out what good it might do me. Bulk administering of photographs is not my thing, and between Bridge, ACR, and Photoshop I felt I had my workflow pretty well in hand. I figured reading Mikkel's book might give me a clue.

      Indeed, I picked up a couple. Lightroom's library and printing capabilities are never going to mean much to me; I don't make that many photographs, and I've never produced a final print that didn't require local corrections far beyond the capabilities of the adjustment brush. But, the way in which Lightroom integrates the browsing capabilities of Bridge with the photographic information and adjustment abilities of ACR intrigues me. I do spend a lot of time hopping back and forth between Bridge and ACR. Food for thought.

      Although the landscape is unfamiliar to me, I can tell you that Mikkel's explanations of just how the ACR-type development tools work are clear, complete, and very useful. They confirmed some details I'd had notions about but couldn't find explicitly clarified elsewhere. I'm betting that the rest of the book is just that good.

      Another book I wouldn't have bought on my own initiative but that I'm really glad to have. And another book that's highly recommended. Buy both!

    • Rudy Mancuso Gets Justice in the End

      "The Man Who Shot 'the Shot Heard 'Round the World,'" by Joshua Prager of The Wall Street Journal, is a touching story. Photographer Rudy Mancuso, who took a famous baseball photograph, lost track of his negative and never got credit for his picture over the years, only to have both restored to him at the very end of his life. A good short read and a nice tale of justice and vindication for one photographer.

    • Boot Camp II: Introduction
      Welcome to Boot Camp II, a series of assignments designed to help the newbs to get off their collective butt and actually go shoot something.

      If you are more experienced, you are more than welcome to participate. But understand that, at least at first, we'll be dialing the degree of difficulty back a little.

      Details, and a couple of items of interest, inside.
      __________


      What to Expect

      This summer, you will receive four assignments. Each assignment will have a specific subject matter and scale, and will be designed to introduce you to four different areas of photography.

      Our theme this summer is the worldwide economic meltdown, so everyone please sell all of their stocks to buy gold and ammo if they haven't already.

      Long-time readers will already know that we don't take world economic crises (or much of anything else) too seriously. In fact, we would rather tickle a credit crunch under the chin -- or maybe sneak up behind it and deliver a wedgie -- than cower in fear what might happen in the future if we spend enough time worrying about it.

      After all, what can we really do about it? Nothing, right?

      Well, maybe not. We can always do something. Even if it is small, it is still something. So each assignment will contain a way in which it can be used to do something good in the face of certain, worldwide economic doom.

      It might be the assignment itself. It might be a variant in which you can choose to participate. But the point is that this need not be pointless busywork. You can accomplish something good with each of these shoots if you want to.


      Okay, Let's Make This Interesting

      Each assignment will also come with an associated prize pack. We have some nifty things lined up that certainly will be of interest to anyone who reads this site.

      Shortly after the deadline for each shoot I will choose a single winner, based on quality, lighting, appropriateness to the assignment, the alignment of the stars, what I had for breakfast that morning, etc. Conveniently, with a judging panel of one, each decision will be unanimous.

      The winner will receive the prize pack, with free shipping to anywhere in the world. The contents will be labeled as a gift, which it is, so hopefully that might even get you out of duties if your country so imposes.


      How to Participate

      The assignments will be submitted through Flickr. By now, you should have already created a Flickr account if you did not already have one. If your country's government is so worried you will see a boobie (or a guy standing in front of a row of tanks) that they block Flickr, there are workarounds.

      Download Firefox and install the Access Flickr! 1.11 add-on and it will usually get you in.

      Mind you, this is only a suggestion from your shining, world-class democracy that values intellectual freedom so long as you do not stand near a train station brandishing a camera. If your government might track you down and lop off your goodies for doing the Flickr end-around, that's on you.


      Fraud Squad: Two Important Notes

      From experience, I have learned that when there are prizes involved, people will try to game the system.

      We do so want to make sure you are not tempted to enter your various, pre-existing portfolio pictures as assignments. So each assignment will also a little security code that the winner will be required to provide before any prizes are coughed up. More on that later.

      Second, the biggest benefit from these group assignments is in seeing how people from around the world handle the exact same assignment you just shot. To that end, I would like to put up an all-in slideshow of the entries up on the main site, just as we did with the water drops.

      To do that, we have to rely on people tagging their assignment photos -- and only their assignment photos -- accurately. The tags will be designed so that photos could not "accidentally" get swept into the slideshow.

      Since the photos also will have to be dropped into the Strobist pool to qualify (more on that later) there is some recourse available. Tagged photos not appropriate to the assignment will be removed from the pool, thus removing them from the slideshow and from prize consideration.

      And depending on how badly the bounds are breached, the photographer may themselves be removed from the Strobist group -- or permanently banned. The idea is to be inclusive with the slideshow. So please do not take advantage of the tagging structure just to be an ass.

      This kind of thing would be at the expense of all who entered honorably. And we can only promise that you will be given a fair trial, immediately followed by a fine hanging.


      Follow Along at Home

      Are you a blogger? If so, you are encouraged to follow along in public. After all, why crash and burn in obscurity when you can do so in front of the whole world?

      If you want to participate in a meta-tagged way, it's very simple to do so. Just link into the appropriate assignment page in your posts, and include the intact phrase "Strobist Boot Camp II" (no quotes necessary). Then, your post should come up in a Google blog search which will be linked from each and every Boot Camp II post.

      That linked search (results are last-in, first-out) should be good for a few drunken visitors stumbling in over the course of the Boot Camp and long after. What the heck. It's not as if you were swimming in fantastic post ideas for the whole summer, right?

      That's all for now. The first assignment drops in tomorrow.

    • Hands-on With the Speedlight Pro Kit
      We blurbed these when they came out a ways back, but I just got a chance to play with them last month in Paso Robles.

      Inside, more on the Speedlight Pro Kit, a video showing just how specialized the internet has become, and what's in it for you.
      __________


      Combining aspects of both the Lumiquest and Honl stuff, the Speedlight Pro Kit hits a lot of high points.

      For about $125.00, you get a combo that allows you to make a double-paneled diffusor, a large grid, a large bare reflector, two snoots and two grids. They share parts from each other, but can be used together to create four different mods at once, as shown in this example.

      I got a chance to play with them last month, and they are well (and uniquely) designed. In fact, I liked them enough to immediately start tweaking them.

      For starters, you'll definitely want to use a StoFen-type diffuser (either yours or theirs, sold separately) along with the big reflector or big grid. You want to spread that light out to make use of the full size of the source. Otherwise, what's the point?

      Additionally, my immediate thought was to mod the big grid with a thin sheet of tissue paper on the back side, to provide diffusion right behind the grid. This effectively gets the light soft(ish) and gridded at the same time. This would make a big difference for close in gridded portraits. Without the tissue, the light would be hard and gridded. You could split the difference with a StoFen (or similar small diffuser) and the internal light from the reflector.

      The grids themselves are spartan, if strong. They are hand-cut-and-stacked Coroplast (corrugated plastic) with rectangular channels. These channels are what determines the aspect ratio of the beam, so expect a soft rectangle shape to the beam. (If you want a pure circular beam, go with straws for channels.)

      Overall, they are well-made, and very versatile. The only potential problem we saw was possible light leakage around the (double) diffusor. This is a super easy fix, with a little tab of gaffer's tape. Nothing to be concerned about at all.


      There's Niche, and There's Niche ...

      How specialized is the internet?

      Specialized enough to where you can now watch a walk-thru video of a kit of third-party modifiers designed only for speedlights -- and homegrown from Malaysia.

      I am so glad to be alive in 2009.

      Herewith, everything you need to know about the Speedlight Pro Kit, complete with a soundtrack of genuine, authentic Malaysian bluegrass music.



      And why am I telling you about these today? Because the Speedlight Pro Kit is part of the prize pack from the first assignment from Boot Camp II.

      Which starts tomorrow.
