Digital SLR-Advantage thread when I shot these tonight. :-) http://www.pbase.com/rkircher/image/46868105 http://www.pbase.com/rkircher/image/46868106 -- Rob |

I just had to laugh tonight when I saw her doing it. And YES I chimped when I took the shots just to make sure I got them. ;-) -- Rob |

Not for the image itself but for histo / highlights it is indispensible. Chimping tames the shot. Unfortunately (and I will be recording the details this fall), methinks using the DSLR to "meter" for slide film won't do the trick. A +2/3 bias from the D reading will be needed. New meter is chosen: Sekonic 558. Just waiting for the bi-annual Sekonic sale which should start any day now.

Not for the image itself but for histo / highlights it is indispensible. Chimping tames the shot. That's what makes the video so funny IMHO. Who in their right mind isn't going to use the tools provided to them to get the best possible results... Unfortunately (and I will be recording the details this fall), methinks using the DSLR to "meter" for slide film won't do the trick. A +2/3 bias from the D reading will be needed. I've thought about doing this with my wife by preshooting with my D and then transferring the setting over to her film camera but alas she's one of those type who wants to be left alone to do it her way. Can't argue with her results most of the time so I don't push it. I'm still curious how the two would compare. -- Rob |
