Re: Dance event with dark lighting. Camera & Video settings ?

Shot the event. It went well.

To reiterate, the dance performance was not the purpose of the event and I was hired as a photographer. My main purpose was to photograph the reception, guests,...

Re: Dance event with dark lighting. Camera & Video settings ?

They informed me the lighting will be dark. I assume they let me know as a courtesy so I can be prepared. Obviously it will be dark for the audience as well. The performance is not the focus of the...

Re: 4k vs HD

I just ordered a new 4k capable graphics card.

Speaking with my vendor, seems like my option for 4k monitors has 3 tiers: standard use 4k, factory color calibrated 4k, pro studio use 4k. In the...

Re: 4k vs HD

32" is the largest computer monitor I can find. Dell has a 40", but it is intended for multi display. So maybe I will go with one of the 32" factory calibrated monitors. My living room HDTV is due...

I was going to get a 4k TV it would be large and that takes a more...

Re: GoPro diving set up w lights

The filter helps with color at the expense of cutting out light. As you go deeper, the need for light can override the need for color. The exact depth where this takes place varies depending on...

Re: GoPro diving set up w lights

The GoPro needs light. When things get a little dark, your footage will have a lot of video noise. Try shooting indoors and you will see what I mean.

120 feet is pretty deep. At that depth I...

Re: GoPro diving set up w lights

I think it was 790.

I believe both Lee and Roscoe give away or sell swatchbooks. Since the GoPro is so small, the swatchbook is a great way to experiment with filter colors to match your dive...

Re: GoPro diving set up w lights

Lee or Roscoe gel filter. They are very inexpensive. You can get a whole 20 x 20 inch sheet for $7. Cut out a small piece the size of a penny and drop it inside the GoPro housing.

Re: GoPro diving set up w lights

Exactly as Ben says.

The GoPro has a very wide angle coverage. If you want the lights to illuminate the full frame of the GoPro, you will need W/A beam lights, plus they will need to be very...

Re: HD external monitor options - upgrading from SD

Thanks that's good info to know. However, the Eizo is way over my budget.

Switching from Sony Vegas to CS 5.5

Just ordered a turnkey video editing PC with CS 5.5 loaded and tested.

Any tips on making the software switch from Vegas easier ? Hardware is not an issue since it is a brand new turnkey system.
