Title: Billing weather dependent jobs
Post by: joeclarkx on July 22, 2018, 11:45:20 am
Looking for input on how others manage weather dependent jobs in terms of bookings, shoot-days and ultimately billing.

In my case my clients are architects or PR agencies working on their behalf. If the weather goes a bit wrong on the agreed shoot day, I tend to go back to site on my own time to get the coverage I'm missing. I have a feeling I may be making an error there.

My uncertainty is around the situation when my client wants to be on-site, meaning that we have to match our diaries and I thus have much less flexibility than I would otherwise.

Case in point: tomorrow I agreed an all day exterior shoot with my client, who wants to be on site, but now the weather picture has changed and I will likely need to return the following day to do another three or four hours.

Would others just absorb this cost of time (and also money because of changed travel plans) or be upfront with the client and seek to charge for another few hours or half day?

Any input gratefully received!

Title: CANON EOS R - Back Button Focus
Post by: LimbicSystemPhotoworks on October 20, 2018, 12:27:12 pm
I am new to the Canon universe, and I am having trouble figuring out how to set up back button focus. I must just be stupid - I was told that Canon's menu system was quite easy to understand, but I am not having success with this  task. Can someone illuminate me?

Title: Sony breaks the 14bit barrier with its new FF sensors
Post by: Guillermo Luijk on November 24, 2018, 08:58:10 am
Despite the fact that 16 bits sensors have already existed for some years, particularly in MF cameras, according to Dynamic Range measurements none of them really needed such bitcount to fully encode the DR the sensor was able to capture.

In a similar way, first 14 bit DSLR's such as the Canon 40D again didn't really need those 14 bits, when 12 bits was still enough to encode its sensor DR. It was Sony's APS in the Pentax K5 the first genuine 14 bits sensor on a DSLR.

Finally, the latest FF cameras such as the Nikon D850 and Sony A7R III have pushed dynamic range to the limits of a 14 bit encoding.

Now Sony presents a new line of 16 bit FF sensors. Let's see if there has been a real dynamic range enhancement so that those 16 bits are really needed. If so, we are getting closer to the day when multiple exposure becomes totally useless for the landscape and architecture/indoor photographer.

Title: Donner Summit Bridge (2 seasons)

I live relatively close to Donner Summit, Truckee, California - and often venture out to the old Highway 40 passage over the summit.

I hope this is the right forum for this post. I'm looking for anyone who has experience with the add-on accessories for the Konova K3 Slider.

In particular I need some information on this bundle of accessories:

Title: Test: the advantages of oversampling: 24Mpx vs 61Mpx FF
Post by: Guillermo Luijk on December 27, 2018, 05:24:53 pm
Some people prefer big pixels. My conviction is that in the sensor + lens system, it's better to have more Mpx than the optics can resolve, than having more optical power than the sensor can capture.

First reason is you pay the extra sensor resolving power once, and enjoy it with any lens. Second is more real information can be captured with good optics, and less possibility of moire artifacts.

The only disavdantage I can see is a higher need of resources (camera and computer CPU and memory). Even noise and dynamic range don't seem to suffer when smaller photosites are used.

Test:
- 24Mpx FF camera: Sony A7 II vs
- 61,5Mpx FF camera: Olympus E-P5 (same density as a 61,5Mpx FF camera)

(http://www.guillermoluijk.com/misc/sobremuestreo.png)

Same lens, scene and aperture: Canon 24mm TS-E II @ f/7,1:

(http://www.guillermoluijk.com/misc/sobremuestreo2.jpg)

Oversampling avoids moiré and captures much more real detail with optimum lens and shooting conditions.

PS: RAWs look dull because were developed 100% neutral (no bright, contrast or unsharp mask). Once they are processed capture quality arises:

In Australia, we call them 'hoons' - people who have fun in loud cars and drive dangerously. This hoon left his monogram for three house frontages, ours included. Is it art? Disputable, but it captures the theme. It got some reaction on social media.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190123/6ea32411ea6aab2b903ca56d5788a7e0.jpg)
