Photography Forum in Tools/Techniques
Posted by Geezer on Friday, October 18, 2013 7:13 AM

I've seen some pretty good tips lately from folks. Could we start a forum for that in the Tools area?

What cha think?

I think it is an excellent idea!  I do a lot of model photography using photo backdrops of airports, auto racing tracks and such.  I am a firm believer in sunlight photography.  Model photography is a subgenre of macro photography and takes some special tricks.

Count me in for considering it a good idea.  I've read some great tips...but it's one area of my "modeling" that I try to improve on.

I think it would be great.

Good idea Geezer!

Seems like some interest, but how do we move forward?

Does someone at Kalmbach have to give the ok, or someone like Tim or Aaron?

I would think that Tim or Aaron could create the Forum. We as members, cannot.

Thanks Don for bringing this up. Thanks Tim for running with it. Just in time too. I'm needing a new camera and this could help me pick which one to get. Yes

THANK GOD!! And thank you TIM. I don't know how many times I wished I could use a reference like this. This subject comes all the time in building and lord knows I could use some help here cuz I can build a decent model but my pictures SUCK. They always turn out like I took them in a dungeon and I've messed with about every camera setting I know how to. Thanks Tim and thanks to all who suggested it!
