They have been [...]

This week, Skype issues led to us having to record wth Glynn on his mobile phone. Glynn is VERY happy with his Mosaic photobook, and would order more of them if it weren’t for the horrendous cost of international shipping (the boon of the Australian consumer!). During the week, I saw a funny thread on [...]

Bruce Williams — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:00:59 +0000

This week, Bruce is off to not one, but three Bruce Springsteen concerts, but sadly, sans camera. The Trundle trip in April has had to be severely curtailed in scope due to lack of numbers.

Shutters Inc – episode 212

Bruce Williams — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 02:00:51 +0000

This week, I discovered why I had not been getting the results from my 10 stop filter that I thought I should have been getting. Seems the culprit is light leakage from not using the correct holder (Cokin) for the filter (Hi-Tech). D’oh! Glynn brought to our attention to the emerging research into Binary Pixel Technology which [...]

Shutters Inc – episode 209

Bruce Williams — Sun, 07 Oct 2012 02:00:26 +0000

This week, first up, an e-mail from Carl Hemmings re: 10 stop ND filters and how you might be able to simulate it in-camera (providing your camera offers that functionality). Then, ‘chimping’. What is it? Why do we fall into the habit? And how do we break out of it? The article that inspired this [...]

Shutters Inc – episode 208

Bruce Williams — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 02:00:54 +0000

Shutters Inc – episode 207

Bruce Williams — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 02:00:49 +0000

This week, why the long break between episodes, plus some more discussion of ND1000 (10 stop) filters (with some contributions from Andrew Cooper, Daryl Gungadoo and Adam Davidson). Turns out that almost all 10 stop filters will introduce some kind of colour shift… some shift towards the red end of the spectrum and some shift [...]

This week, Carl Hemmings wrote back about the 51 (not 52!) focus points on the Nikon DSLR’s. Last weekend’s Sydney meetup #25 (Hell on Wheels) was a great success. The thing that really struck me (which I shall file away for future reference) was the need to be really aware of placement when using flash [...]

Shutters Inc – episode 204

Bruce Williams — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 02:00:57 +0000

A short one this week. I got a few responses to my question regarding focusing modes, from episode 203. Seems most people are using the same approach as me… I just need to practice more, clearly! Also, Blake alerts us to “Photo Finish”, a short series of half hour “reality-style” TV episodes about amateur photographers [...]
