Tethering on the cheap: Free, open-source app controls your Nikon DSLR remotely. By Mike Tomkins posted Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 12:08 AM EST Among the myriad features available on modern interchangeable-lens cameras, remote control via a tether has to rate as one of the coolest -- and yet perhaps most easily overlooked. The ability to set your camera up in precisely the right position and then shoot remotely, changing settings and tripping the shutter without fear of changing your careful framing, is mighty cool. Doubly so when you consider that with a Wi-Fi connection, you can leave your camera shooting somewhere in which it might perhaps be difficult -- or even dangerous -- for you to remain for any length of time. Open-source Windows app digiCamControl promises just that capability for Nikon digital SLRs, and Canon support is under development as well. Originally known as Nikon Camera Control, digiCamControl just dropped in final release form.
From its humble beginnings last year, the app has come a long way. DigiCamControl includes multi-monitor support. The Camera Bag: Outex’s reasonably priced, waterproof DSLR covers. By Dan Havlik posted Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 5:31 PM EDT We've told you about inexpensive waterproof covers for your DSLR before, such as this incredibly cheap dry bag we saw selling on eBay for just $8.33. Outex's waterproof DSLR covers aren't nearly as "bargain basement" as that low-cost solution, but they seem much more reliable. Outex takes a modular approach to its its rubberized, camera wetsuits by selling bits and pieces of weatherproofing gear to fit a range of cameras and lenses including models from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, Sigma and Tamron.
Just pick out the appropriate covers for your specific gear via a drop down menu system on the Outex website, and you'll be set-up with the appropriate, hermetically-sealed weatherproofing for your camera and lens. That's a relatively small price to pay for a lightweight, waterproof cover system. (Via Uncrate and Gear Patrol) Phottix’s Multi Boom Flash Bracket Removes The Pain For Umbrella Softbox Users. A while back we made a little rant towards Westcott’s Apollo. We were upset that using the Apollo (one of my favorite lighting modifiers) as not light stand friendly and required a Boom, a C stand or a VAL to be easily positioned.
The main issue is that with an umbrella softbox the lightstand is entering the middle of the modifiers, basically locking its angle against the stand to be exactly 90 degrees. This is true not just for the Apollo, but also for other umbrella like modifiers like the Softlighter II from Photek (reviewed here). Well, Phottix has been listening and have released a new flash bracket which seems to be the off camera dream bracket the Multi Boom 16″ Flash Bracket. What Is It? Basically it is the same good old swivel that we all use with one important difference – the top part of the swivel extend so the hinge part is external to the box. Overdoing The Mundane On top of this, the bracket supports two strobes. My thoughts I think Phottix is listening to their crowd. Home - Outex.

Interesting subjects make for great photographs, so are interesting backgrounds. Photographer Karl Zemlin has a great DIY for projecting strobe light to create interesting backgrounds.
(He also has a nifty DIY section on his site) All you would need is a box, a few Fresnel lenses and some textured glass. The main idea is that you could get the texture of the glass projected on a seamless white (or any other smooth) background. What makes this design really rock is the little tripod socket at the bottom, so you can simply place this behind your subject on a light stand and have a symmetrical background. 1. start with a cardboard box about 10.5″ x 8.5″ x 7″. 2. You want this value to be small so it the lens to glass distance can fit in the box. In the case below, a stack of 3 Fresnel magnifier lenses had a combined focal length of about 4″. 3. 4. 5. 6. Here are two tests shots taken using two different sheets of glass. Design Tools Monthly • The Executive Summary of Graphic Design News. Site5 Web Hosting - Free 30 Day Trial + Choose Your Location.
