Kind of a film noir look. Very cool.

As the technology goes right now, these small sensor cameras simply cannot produce noise-free (or low noise) images at anything above 400 - maybe 800. In any case, the G9/G10/G11 are indeed excellent point-n-shoots. Although I am a pro Nikon shooter, I always preferred the Canon point-n-shoots. I am a very satisfied owner of a Canon G10.

I tried this technique today. Check out the results at

My experience with lighting is nowhere near Michael Thompson's, but it may have promise... Let me know what you think!

I ordered $50 worth that what the article said was the price point for the free eye-fi. You had to buy the 200GB deal . Thats' my understanding based on what I read.

Have you received anything from Google/Eye-Fi since placing your order? I already had some Picasa storage and was only charged $30 at checkout. The only email I've received was the receipt for the $30 worth of storage I added. I'm hoping I don't need to order more to put myself over the $50 threshold.

Victor,

Love the show and apologize for not saying so before. I have learned a number of points; some I could use immediately and others which took a little work and study something I really enjoy doing. It is a lot of work and effort on your part, but I encourage you to keep up the great show, tips, new ideas and great interviews such as the latest one with Michael.

Thanks,

Carl

Victor, love your podcast, and hope you will keep it going. I particularly enjoyed this episode - I am just starting to play with off-camera flash, so very timely for me. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Nice, enjoyed hearing Michael and listening to his remarks. I followed the link from "lighten up and shoot". I've followed Michaels adventures in Columbia and look forward to hearing and seeing more of him.

Mike — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:54:16 -0000

Just found your blog and had to post. (Good blog so far and have the podcasts cued on my player.)

The problem is one of communication. The legal definition of "commercial use" is not what most people think. "Professional equipment" is exactly what? Selling a print is not commercial use, using the image to endorse camper gear is. Pros use Holgas as well as an SLR.

If your camera has an Auto setting and a pop-up flash then it can't be pro equipment can it? I have never seen (or heard) of a professional shooter using Auto and a pop-up flash for commercial work. If I use the same clubs as Tiger Woods am I a professional golfer?

Bit late to help you out but it is something to keep in mind. It is also easier to apologize than it is to ask permission.

I have created a series of videos that explain my speedlight technique and gear that I use; the videos have inspired a lot of photographers and are not only funny but very informative. Check out the speed light series at http://lightenupandshoot.com

This is really a cool image given it is your first attempt. Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I will have to give it a try.

That is one amazing effect - I can't wait to try it when I get a new camera.

Victor, I didn't initially listen to this show because I wasn't interested in printing at home. Oh boy was I wrong! This was a great show that covered so much more. Each time I listen to a show, I find myself wanting to shoot more!!

Thanks for doing these pod casts.

Hi Victor,

Printing 101 was fantastic. Not only was the content great but your interviewing skills are excellent. It is obvious that you thoroughly research and understand the questions you ask and therefore get the most out of the content.

I know you have to sleep but could we have a few more podcasts, sooner.

I would like to know why you decided to go with Light-room instead of Aperture and other than those programs data base capabilities would not Photoshop or Photoshop elements provide greater editing capability than either one?

Thanks

Another great show Victor! The interview with Andrew showed me that I was on the right path to getting my monitor calibrated and what I need to do with files before getting them professionally printed. I'm definitely going to try the print test that was mentioned. Bart also did a great job on his photo diaries segment. It's nice hearing from fellow Nikon D40 users. :-)
