Thread: Trojan virus on Rendo pages | Forum: Photography
Yesterday 21st there was a trojan virus on Rendo.
My anti virus software blocked it .
I suggest anyone who has not blocked it and visited Renderosity on the 21st take steps to make sure their PC is free of it.

Thread: What do you recommend? | Forum: Photography
"What type of set up should I consider?"
The best your budget can cover.
One good quality light used with home made diffusers and reflectors will be better, and you will learn more, than having a complete kit of lighting that is not up to par.
Continuous lighting has inherent problems some which Rich mentioned above. A couple of others are colour balance & constricted pupils .
The continuous set for sale in your link above is suitable for still lifes of flower heads, etc. I wouldn't consider it powerful enough for human portraits. Take a look at the banner across the advert and even those are barely lit sufficiently and they are inanimate. I would also take convincing about their full spectrum output even though they claim ' true daylight' .
The strobe set from your link above is low power and quality. I would prefer one good quality light to that set, but that's just my preference, buy one light and add to it as your budget permits.
My only recommendation is do lots of reading and research before committing hard cash to lights which may not be suitable or part of a system that can be expanded and upgraded as your experience grows.

Thread: how to reduce eye fatigue | Forum: Photography
I offer the same advice as Martin above.
I believe you have a Canon dslr in which case there is a diopter adjustment on the eye piece which is enough for most people to get a comfortable setting. In cases where more adjustment is necessary there is an accessory available to give a wider range.
Refer to your manual for full instructions on setting the eyepiece diopter.
As a brief guide you need to switch off auto focus and point the camera at a blank wall. In the viewfinder you will see several red squares , the focus points, adjust the small wheel beside the eyepiece until these are in sharp focus.

Thread: Goin' BATTY! | Forum: Photography
Excellent shot - well done . They don't fly slow - I know I've had plenty of them in my front room before.
Did you have a window open? - in which case it was probably pursuing an insect drawn towards the light .
My visitors were due to a colony living in the loft space. The little 'uns seem to come out about this time of year and fall from the eaves. They then crawl back up the wall, but enter any open window on their way
Unfortunately some of them get exhausted from the effort and I end up having to revive them with some honey in water before they get their strength back and I put them near the top of the wall by the opening to find their way back into the loft.
They're fascinating creatures - I love them.
The only disturbing moment I've had was when my mother in law came to visit for the first time at our new home (I was not very used to seeing them at that time ) and I caught sight of one just appearing over the back of the sofa right behind her - lol. I looked at the wife and she at me !
I wanted to point and shout - BAT ! but I thought MiL might get the wrong idea
Fortunately MiL decided it was time to retire, and I rescued the poor little fella after she had left the room .

Thread: Nude Photography | Forum: Photography
* " I would hate to shoot a Nude in infrared i'm sure the audience would be zero "
*Perhaps that answers your question
I do not spend a lot of time in the gallery here now so others could be far better informed than I, however I have rarely seen an art nude photograph on Renderosity. I have seen lots of glamour shots - some good, some not so.

Thread: Need Canon XT help, please! | Forum: Photography
To increase the cameras sensitivity to light you need to increase the ISO setting which you will find in the menu. There is a limit of course and you may find that there is just insufficient light to capture the type of image you are after.
To eliminate the motion blur you will need to increase the shutter speed.
So how to give it a try. I assume you will be using the kit lens or similar, not a telephoto.
I don't have that camera so you will need to refer to the manual for detailed instruction.
Go to the menu and increase the ISO - say to 800
Set the main camera dial to TV.
this will mean you set the shutter speed and the camera decides the rest. Set the shutter speed to 1/100.
Now in similar light conditions try and take a picture.
Does it do it ? Fingers crossed for OK
If it doesn't and a red light appears in the view finder you havn't got enough light. You could try increasing the ISO in the menu to 1600 but this will mean an increase of noise within the image. The alternative is to lower the shutter speed but this will result in more motion blur.
Ok there's more I could say but I have tried to keep it simple as possible for you to give it a try and see.

Thread: RAW Power | Forum: Photography
The original had a much more lonely detached feel to it which seems to work better with all the open sapce on the left to me.
It depends what you're after I suppose.
It is an example of what can be done with RAW processing given the vision.

Thread: Artistic/Creative People See Life In A Different Way..true or not true? | Forum: Photography
Interesting topic .
Upon reflection it seems to me that artists have a sense of melancholy. It is this that makes them question and reject the worlds everyday assumptions.
Great art is often produced by troubled souls in times of great stress. Witness Munch's The Scream or Picasso's Weeping Woman, there are countless other examples, but I'll leave it there for now.

Thread: Scotland - West Coast | Forum: Photography
Well just about the whole area is a photo op.
Anywhere on the A82 road, especially between Ranoch moor and Glen Nevis is spectacular.
What must be the most photographed cottage in Scotland is along here . Black Rock Cottage - Just take the turn off to the ski centre and park opposite the cottage for spectacular shot of mountain and cottage. A Google image search will show you the pic.
Isle of Skye - well countless photo ops there too. Eilean Donan castle next to the road on the way there, then on Skye just about everywhere you look. Elgol and Portree being very popular places.
All around Loch Levin you will find great places to photograph there are just too many to even contemplate listing, it will take you many years of happy snapping to get around them all.

Thread: Macro lens.....which | Forum: Photography
I concur with Danny, above, there is little to choose between the different makes in optical quality; Sigma/Tamron/Tokina will give you results that are as good as a Nikon lens in this category. The difference is in the build quality. Having said that the gap seems to be closing all the time. I use a Sigma 150mm which I consider a superb lens both optically and the build.
You mentioned you need plenty of DOF and this could be a deciding factor in any decision. DOF alters with how close the subject is to the lens, as well as focal length and aperture. Therefore macro is almost by definition shallow DOF. To maximise the DOF you need to pick the shortest focal length that is suitable for your needs. With flowers in an indoor setting there is no problem increasing the shutter length and using a tripod so you can use a small aperture to maximise DOF. There would be a problem if you want to snap critters though, they will move and a tripod is at best awkward, so there comes the compromise - a focal length long enough to shoot before you get too close and scare them away, you will need a high shutter speed to match the increased focal length and freeze the action or camera shake.
Focusing I have never seen as a problem - most people use manual focus with a macro lens, because of DOF issues, set the focus to roughly the right place and then move the camera slowly back and forth to get the final adjustment is the method I use.
