RE: Macro
Thanks for the answer. I agree with what you are saying but I think my question is as follows. Assuming I needed 1:1 to fill the frame on film with a specific subject I would obviously need to back off a bit and a lower magnification to fill the frame on digital with the same subject. I would now be working at less than life size would I not? Is this difference also a factor of 1.5 like on telephoto?

John, Keep watching. I picked up the FA 28-105/4-5.6 from ebay for $150US or less.

Well, i finally have my mind made up, and the emails to the show organizers went out Monday afternoon. I thanked them very much for letting me be a part of their shows over the past 8-9 years, and explained why i was giving it up. Past photographers just faded away, and i suppose i could have to, but thats not me. A hearty thanks and explanation is my way. So far the replies have all been swell. So, this morning i receive a call. Want's to know if i'll come out and shoot a Ti Kwon Dow black belt test for his kid. Yup and gave him a price. Then he asks if i'd be interested in taking photos of some of the pools his company biuilds for updating their web site. Yup I said, but no price, his cell phone died.

Re: Candle making
- Original Message - From: Nick Wright Subject: GESO: Candle making My primary goal as a photographer is to photograph people who are making their living in artful ways. Here is the first in a (hopefully) long series of personal projects dedicated to that goal. I don't really consider the essay finished so I might be adding on to it in the future. http://blog.nickdavidwright.com/2009/04/candle-making.html Well Nick, I was going to keep my stupid mouth shut but.. For me, this image falls into the category of epic fail. It tell me abosolutely nothing about the process of candle making, infact if you hadn't mentioned what he was doing, I wouldn't have a clue about what he is doing. There is no defined subject, the rack of whatever those things are on the right is out of focus and by the time they are in focus they are indistiguishable as far as what they are is. About the only thing I can say for sure is that it looks like his furnace needs servicing. The following might be a bit harsh, but there is no drama in your picture. The light is bland, the scene is sterile and there is absolutely nothing happening in it. It's like a still life of nothing. So, now that I've ripped your hear out, where do we go? I don't think you can capture the essence of the craft of an artisan unless he is actually creating something. If he is making poured candles in molds, focus on one or two molds and show us what it looks like when the wax is being poured into them. Frankly, I don't care what the guy looks like, I want to see his hands working, which means get in close and show us what he is doing. Preparing molds is the cooking equivalent of washing dishes. No one cares about that part, it's making candles that I came to see. Show us what that looks like, and think of a way to make it look like it is actually an interesting thing to do.

Use an A70-210 - brilliant lens, but heavy and starts too long. Forget about zooms and use 28,50 and 135 primes - a classic kit, but then I do lose some flexibility, and I have to carry a bag!

Assuming I needed 1:1 to fill the frame on film with a specific subject I would obviously need to back off a bit and a lower magnification to fill the frame on digital with the same subject. I would now be working at less than life size would I not? Is this difference also a factor of 1.5 like on telephoto? Yes. :-) Jostein Is it not also true that if you make an 8x10 from the film 1:1, and an 8x10 from the digital image, they will both show full size images, or full frame and be essentially the same? Or are we going to throw the resolution of the negative vs the resolution of the sensor into the equation?

Godfrey = I held off commenting on this, because I felt my comment was going to be sort of weird. Then I read part of the thread later and realized, huh, maybe it wouldn't be so weird after all. The BW far outshines the color, because it has a sinister element. See? But since you've read that comment from others, maybe you get it, maybe not. The bunny rabbit looks like something out of Stephen King's IT in BW, and the woman in the mirror is harder to see, so the child seems more alone and the woman's motives remain unclear (rather than just mother accompanying child). That is the best I can come up with to explain why I had the sinister reaction. Also look at the bunny's eyes in the BW and then in color and see if you see what I mean. Nice shot, naturally.
