PauP 0 Posted November 13, 2003 Craig- Can you not keep the DOF by using Rear sync flash? Yeah, slow shutter and rear curtain sync. I would worry about motion blur due to camera shake. It would be interesting to test out, though. What's there to worry about Craig? Get testing. There maybe detectable motion in the image and its not always to everyone's taste. I am a big fan of SS/RC sync images, I like the unique effect that the motion and ambient colour creates. The images with black backgrounds become too familiar. You digital shooters have got it so easy with instant review and the "Big Gig" cards..... I am using film so my SS/RC shots are always guesswork.

Paul P You forgot to mention variable ISO settings. That's what I would try to get a blue background in on a pygmy shot. You can probably go up to 800 on a DSLR before the noise becomes noticeable.

Cybergoldfish 1 Posted November 13, 2003 Or maybe a 'C' button that selects everything you may require in the next shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul P Yes, the more you bring up ambient the more possibility of blurred details and motion. In a motion shot like a shark you can predict the type of blur, but on a macro shot I'd worry about camera shake. Perhaps camera shake would be a nice effect. My smallest pygmies were shot with a 200mm +3 at 8" or so. Camera shake was pretty noticable when you consider the D100 crop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PauP 0 Posted November 14, 2003 Hmm, I can see what you mean, using such a small frame/image size, the slightest motion is greatly magnified with the longer lenses. I have been happy with some 60mm shots but have not tried it with anything longer. I shall try it sometime. Maybe back-lighting the water with a blue filtered strobe could create the effect? 3D lighting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james 0 Posted November 14, 2003 I think that's what one of our members did Paul - put a blue card behind the seafan and just hit it with strobe light. It was a fin - but you get the idea... Cheers James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
