Photograph and Camera talk

[Jesselirola]

@Giles:

I need a carry case for the Nikon D3 and the 28-300 lens.  Suggestions please?

Billingham makes classy timeless bags, and artisan and artist makes amazing stuff as well.

Come to think of it this seems like the perfect time for us to collaborate on an iron heart camera bag run.

But in the meantime a Hadley series by billingham should get you going, I've been using a Hadley pro for my go to leica small kit to shoot concerts and the bags going strong on 7 years now with constant use.

They're in the UK as well.

A&A is Japanese, go figure.

Cheers

Jesse

Gr & Gi, lovely photos, for different reasons, obviously ::)

Snowy, that's one of my brother's shots. I can't take credit.

Given the interest in both photography and mechanical watches on this forum, I thought that I'd draw attention to Kwanghun Hyun's clockwork pinhole cameras. They use a re-purposed Unitas movement to drive the shutter.

The photos produced live up to the hoary cliche of being dreamy.

sees what he's up against… slinks of again quietly

But before I do... How is it possible to do this??

I suspect it's to do with the auto-focus not kicking in before the timer goes off, but how?

ducks head, runs off

[Snowy]

MP that's a new high, even for you :).

I think it's focused close to the camera, not past you, as if it was infinity, something would be in focus. As such, it's focused on something before you got in front - correct. My SLR's focus at the moment the self-timer's engaged. What camera do you use? I'd like to nut out the problem

[Morose_Penguin]

^ At the moment, Canon Powershot G12

[Snowy]

Answered; it focuses when the self timer button is depressed, not when it takes the photo;

Same problem I had with my SLR's which is why an IR remote comes in handy.

is a $20 solution

http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/37772451 is a thread with more options on the fix.

PS I don't understand who on earth would ever want to focus at the moment self-timer was set….

[Morose_Penguin]

Thanks for the reply who know what will happen in the future…

[Giles]

When pressing the shutter release, make sure you are not in the field of vision.  Use Aperture Priority and set for smallest aperture (largest F number).  Or guesstimate distance from camera to where you will be and set to manual focus at that distance….
