I have to ask how you do the animation on the photo. I like it! I am running Mac OS X so I don't know if the program you are using is compatible. Thanks for everyone's continued advice and support.

Nice set up you have there! I am especially green of that nice stand with the soft box. Is that a room dedicated for just your toys? I have the dining room, so I have to unpack and re-pack each time hubby finishes a knife.

My younger son, Robert, from a couple of years ago: This four shot animation of a stream in Rocky Mountain National Park makes a wonderful desktop background - very relaxing. Feel free to save it to your hard drive and enjoy it from time to time: I guess NASA likes these little animations too: |

Runasics,
I don't have a dedicated room for my photography (I wish). I have a large guest room upstairs and I use one end of it. I plan on leaving the softbox assembled on the C stand (kind of a pain to dissasemble) but it is quite easy to remove the other light, fold the reflectors and move the table back against the wall. Buddy, Very nice job on the animations. Your son has some very cute expressions. I just installed Parallels on my Mac, so I can run some non Mac software. If I understand what you're doing with the animations, you use a series of shots. Thanks for everyone's continuing support. |

Ron - I'm not a Nikon shooter but I am aware that everyone thinks highly of the D90. Here's a link to some discussion on the subject: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...hread=30646053
Regarding lenses, I defer to Coop as he's got some great ones. But I will say this - "it depends." And it really does. You probably want macro capabiltiy AND the option to back off and get some overview shots, especially on larger projects like guns etc. Whether you can get both in one lens is an important question. My solution is not for everyone. I use a 90mm tilt/shift, manual focus lens that gives me improved depth of field so I can avoid out of focus areas when up close or from an angle, using my regular lights. If you're willing to use strobe flashes as does Coop, you can crank up the light and use a small aperture like f22 even, and conquer the depth of field issues that way. There is a learning curve and an expense associated with strobes that may or may not make sense for you. Your question really deserves its own thread as it's a topic and discussion that could generate a lot of good discussion. Good luck! |
