RayFlash Review

Posted by gemphoto  Published in Photography
>Question- The lighting on these photos that you took look so 3-Dimensional. How did you do them?
rayflash5     rayflash3
These were done with one of my favorite weapons. They were shot with a portable ring flash that is mounted on my Canon 580EX. It is made by a company from the Czech Republic called RayFlash.  http://www.ray-flash.com/ I saw some outstanding outdoor shots of a model and noticed there was a behind-the-scenes set of photos. I saw then name “RayFlash” on the front of it in one shot. I Googled the name and found it for sale in the USA.

Wireless eBay triggers

Posted by gemphoto  Published in Photography

>Question- Are eBay wireless radio flash triggers any good?

Pocket Wizards really have an excellent product that many professional photographers all around the world use. Very rugged, low interference, great range, etc… But they are pricey in my opinion. There are other similar wireless trigger systems also available at most of the big photographic equipment suppliers but they are almost all the similarly priced.

On eBay there are many different brands and several different kinds of wireless triggers. Some are very cheaply built, some are 4 channel, some are 8 channel, etc… Even Alien Bees sold a set that was very similar. These are all around 15 times cheaper than Pocket Wizards! So are they any good?

What Flash Bracket To Get?

Posted by gemphoto  Published in Photography

>Question - I’m looking at getting a flash bracket for my DSLR. What should I get?

I bought and used several flash brackets and was not happy with any of them. Either too big, heavy, and clumsy; or too flimsy, cheap, and having to re-tighten screws periodically. I finally got a Newton Flash Rotator Bracket and I’m VERY pleased with it. Looks like the design has changed a bit from what I purchased a few years ago, but it basically still works the same.

Group Shots

Posted by gemphoto  Published in Photography

>Question – I have been asked to take photos for a class reunion. When I asked how many people there were, they said that they want group photos of the whole group of around 75 people. Any advice on how to do this the right way?

Group multi-tier

Photographing groups of people

For group shots, you really need to pay attention to the way you arrange the people. It is best to have the front row sitting on the ground, the second row kneeling behind them, and the third row standing. This is called a multi-tier arrangement. I addition to this, having the tallest people in the back also helps, or having the people in the front lying down achieves the same thing.

Posted by gemphoto  Published in Photography

Question > I am going to do some shooting this weekend and don’t have a meter. Would you suggest metering with my eyes, then looking at t he histogram and adjusting from there? If so, what is the “ideal” exposure on a histogram. Should the “mountain” be right in the middle, to the right/left etc?
