I have to deliver a PDF File for A3 calendar prints - final files from D800 snaps. Needless to say, I don't want to suffer any reduction in quality - so any suggestions or tips - do's and don'ts on converting/converters from someone with experience of this process, will be received with thanks.

That's great info' - thank you. Having spent the last couple of hours nosing around Google - it began to dawn on me the cheaper Fuji Film wasn't suitable for mine. Hopefully, soon, I'll have some thoughts on my folly and maybe even a picture I can add to this thread.

I have never flown with Quadras - but I asked this question about Safari Li-on at the beginning of the summer. I have since taken 22 flights with them - main unit in the hold and decoupled battery in a plastic bag, inside my carry on. None of the ladies at the X-ray scanner ever blinked and I...

Inspired by this thread - I just won a Polaroid Land Camera 1000 (as the camera pictured above in post #135 - though mine has a green button ... no idea why). What film does this take - the Fuji "peel-apart-type" or must I take the Impossible route? There seems to be plenty of chatter on...

I ordered a replacement (lost) one for a Lencarta stripbox recently and it's identical to the Lencarta own brand. Walimex. Most likely all come from the same sweat-shop - and similarly priced too.

I am currently assembling a collection of 6 images for display. They will be on display inside my local Cinematheque and vary in size from 1600cm X 1000cm x3 images - and the remaining 3 images approximately 50% smaller. I am breaking from tradition by printing on Inox (stainless steel) and...

Well, 16 flights later and I experienced no difficulty travelling with the Safari Li-on battery in the cabin. No one batted an eyelid during my travels and I was never once asked to open my bag. After much advance research on the interweb and listening to anecdotal evidence - I have to come...

Cheers. I'll give them your name if I get a tug.

Thanks Gary. That was pretty much my plan after seperating the two components. Do you put both battery and appliance into the luggage hold - or carry the battery seperately into the cabin?

Now summer is upon us, I will be flying across the EU for the first time with Safari Li-on batteries and packs. I am aware there has been discussion about this before - only carry spare batteries in ones hand luggage and with the connection points taped, etc - but how does one go about taping...

You wanted to gain experience, now you have some - never work for free. A balance is always needed between the photographer and the client and in this case the client gets to label you a rubbish photographer at no cost to themselves. At this stage you can't win. If clients don't fawn over your...

I shoot quite a bit of latex couture and Garry is entirely correct. My preferance is for a big light source and lots of black and white foam boards. The trick is to approach the model as a still life - adding and subtracting light to create form, long thin strips for long specular highlights on...

Two speedlights will not fit in the back of a Bowens S mount. I did alot of research a few years back, before there was a plethora of speedlight adaptors and came up with this: 70cm beauty dish. Sb700 Micansu adaptor. (I posted the set-up in my gallery as I am not registered for image hosting...
