In The Rhythm: Face Time with the D800E

http://stamates.blogspot.com/2012/04/face-time-with-d800e.html

Monday, April 30, 2012. Face Time with the D800E. As you know I'm not a people person.I mean people photographer. Occasionally I do shoot people when I'm out and about at an event like the Genoa (NV) Cowboy Poetry Festival I attended over the weekend. I went with some fellow photogs just to have fun. Usually I take my point-and-shoot memory camera on fun outings. I call it that 'cause it helps me remember where I've been and what I've done. The bad guy getting ready for a shootout with the good guys.

In The Rhythm: D800 vs D800E Print Test

http://stamates.blogspot.com/2012/04/d800-vs-d800e-print-test.html

Friday, April 13, 2012. D800 vs D800E Print Test. The questions I, and many other photographers have are, is the D800E that much sharper than the D800? Will moire' show up in wildlife and nature? Will it be hard to remove when it does show up? The only way to get the results is a to shoot side by side in real world conditions. Therefore I've decide to get one of each. I will be getting the D800 in a couple of days and the D800E in a week or so. (so I've been told). I am not paid by Nikon or anyone else t...

In The Rhythm: LET THE GAMES BEGIN...

http://stamates.blogspot.com/2012/04/let-games-begin.html

Thursday, April 19, 2012. LET THE GAMES BEGIN. Here is Steve just moments ago at Leo's Camera. Receiving MY new D800E. I know he'll play with it before he ships it to me, but that's okay. I'll have the D800 and D800E in my hot little hands tomorrow. Right Steve? Other Settings: same on both bodies:. Manual focus mode. (Lens is set to manual focus only, VR off). All exposure readings will be made with the D800. The D800E will be set to match. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). ADVENTURES IN GRAND TETON.

In The Rhythm: Chain of Fools

http://stamates.blogspot.com/2012/05/chain-of-fools.html

Sunday, May 13, 2012. I've been shooting anything I can find with the new D800E and every time I download my images I'm blown away. I can take an uninteresting composition, grab the crop tool and find some little jewel within the image and still have enough pixels to make a great print! I know, that's cheating. I'm supposed to compose in the viewfinder, but as I said, I'm just out shooting anything and everything to learn the camera and all the features. And there are features galore! Guides tours to Cos...

In The Rhythm: More Results E v nonE

http://stamates.blogspot.com/2012/04/more-results-e-v-none.html

Wednesday, April 25, 2012. More Results E v nonE. We left off with me being pretty satisfied that the D800E is a little sharper than the D800. Little. Is subjective. I think the larger the print, and I mean really really large, the benefits of the E become more apparent and useful. If your a pro shooter and your images are on billboards the E is the only way to go! Or if you like to crop the * out of your images. Let's move on to my next big question: How often will moire' crop up in my typical shoot?

In The Rhythm: Grand Teton is Grand!

http://stamates.blogspot.com/2012/05/grand-teton-is-grand.html

Monday, May 14, 2012. Grand Teton is Grand! We have limited space available for our Grand Teton Wildlife Photo Workshop. June 6-9. 2012. Grand Teton National Park in spring! What an amazing place. This bull moose image is one of my favorites from last spring. Here's another of my favs. When nature presents you with dramatic light, don't walk, RUN to find something to put in the foreground. Bring lots of memory cards! Shoot me an email if you're interested in an excellent adventure! Subscribe to ONE CLICK!

In The Rhythm: Yellowstone River

http://stamates.blogspot.com/2012/06/yellowstone-river.html

Monday, June 18, 2012. Tweaked in Lightroom 4 this image from the Yellowstone Workshop is special to me. Very early morning, the fog, the reflection, the sounds of birds and 6 busy photographers interpreting their vision in digital photography. No 2 images exactly alike as we stood just feet from each other on the bank. What's unique is our experiences. Our experiences influence are art but should not overpower our subject.

In The Rhythm: BEST OF 2012

http://stamates.blogspot.com/2013/01/best-of-2012.html

Friday, January 11, 2013. Each January Jim Goldstein, a colleague, posts on his blog a list of photographers who submit their Top Ten (or 12) images for the previous year. You can see the list here. I missed this year so I'm going to put my 2012 images here and more on my updated image database. This is another favorite from our 2012 adventure guiding a tour to Costa Rica. It has a simplistic style often seen in Asian art. I have a similar photo of a cow moose coming toward me from a couple of years ago,...

In The Rhythm: One Year Ago

http://stamates.blogspot.com/2012/06/one-year-ago.html

Tuesday, June 19, 2012. I like to look back one year to see where I was and what image I made. This image was made June 21 2011, Yosemite Falls. Darn, wish I was there. Ah the digital age. I can easily retrieve any image by date in Lightroom. I'm using version 4 but any version of Lightroom works as well as many other applications including Aperture. It is also a great way for me to remember what I did in the past. Wasn't that the real reason for photography? Labels: In The Rhythm. Subscribe to ONE CLICK!

In The Rhythm: GUESS AND WIN, WINNER!

http://stamates.blogspot.com/2012/12/guess-and-win-winner.html

Monday, December 17, 2012. GUESS AND WIN, WINNER! We have a winner! I received a lot of guesses as to the subject to the ‘Guess what this is’ ONE CLICK! Claudia came closest with her guess of the North Star. Congratulations Claudia! I’m not sure it was the north star, but it was a star. It was not a planned shot, here’s how it happened:. So I thought why not try to make star trails by rotating the camera? It wasn’t quite centered. If it was it would have been a white dot. ADVENTURES IN GRAND TETON. Guide...
