feelin’ | no longer frosty. heat…huzzah!
ah…heat. my skin tone is back to its nice tanned yellow chinky self. i went on a bit of a shopping spree yesterday during work. we’re currently working towards this project with rem koolhaas at the moment…and he wanted these glass samples to oogle at. so we had them made…and theyre being shipped to rotterdam today. before theyre shipped off tho, we wanted to take photos of them. ive been trying to get my company to invest in some photo studio equipment for a while now…and yesterday i finally got it. woo! we wanted the photos fast, so i was driven over to b+h after lunch and i picked up portable lowell tota-lights and a photo tent. the tent was…um…bigger than i imagined. i mean, they wrote that it was 4’x4’x4’…but it didnt sink in how big a 4′ cube was til i opened it up and set it on the ground. shit. anyhoo, the lights rock (we used the same ones when we took photos of our models at school) and we used a corner of my supervisors office to pitch the tent in (snicker). my other supervisor also lent the use of his butt-kicking sony cybershot…the one with the big carl zeiss lens. as far as prosumer digital cameras go, the things eats the other cameras for breakfast. the next step in my budding photo studio however is the procurement of a digital slr….yum. that’ll however be when i actually get out of debt. hmm, no wait…thats never. so ill prolly get one next year.
all our philosophical arguments aside, have i ever told you that i think this is the best looking blog on the internet? seriously- you are money, homeslice!
gracias mi amigo.
I’ve had the DSC-F717 for a year now and my only big gripe is the shutter delay. It can be sickeningly too long sometimes – what’s your thought about it? And do you have any suggestions perhaps?
woo…nice site. my supervisor just took back said camera, so im inclined to suggest having youre own camera…which you apparently do. pooey.
i didnt use the camera in extreme light conditions…but in normal-to-ideal conditions, the shutter was pretty fast. by shutter delay, im assuming you mean the time it takes for it to save a file to the card(?) i was using another cam…the nikon 4500…and when i had all the picture mods and settings on, the delay was ridiculous. so i turned off all the “post-production” settings and the delay was cut down to just a second or two, basically b/c it no longer had to “process” the image you just took before it was saved. hope that helps.
