Fashion Photo Shoot

This looks like Camrens!

I have got the sony A700 and there is an nice setting called remote control. It is all about plugging your usb camera to the laptop and the pictures are showing up after the shot on the screen. The resolution is great and the quality also:)

My camera only displays pictures in PLAY mode. It would be great to use it for framing up. I have Canon EOS 350D. Great camera but no large viewfinder, only eye view finder.

Plus, you've GOT to have a way to backup your photos on location. A laptop or full-on desktop rig lets you do that. Or, at least, one of those expensive card reader/hard drives. But, that's not necessary if you've already got a laptop, lol.

If you've got a serious/paying gig, you cannot afford to risk anything happening to your images on location, or in transit back to your home/office.

Pros/Cons to any setup, of course. A DVD player would be good for guerrilla-style shoots, & the image is instantaneous.

But if you're in a studio. With that much gear, anyway... at least take a laptop & pump the image out to a 22"+ flat panel. Yes, LR or any other prog. will take a second to render [if you have a fast computer], but you'll have full resolution to "proof" your work on the spot. And you won't look like you cut corners compared to your other gear.

If your camera has a USB port, you can connect from camera to computer or laptop and your images will show up within secods.

You don't need a DVD player or some crazy program.

I have an extended USB cable and a laptop and when I shoot, my images pop up within secods. So stop being gear heads and looking for excuses to buy new things. USB...plain and simple

thanx for the vid. Good tips!

It has nothing to do with a 'dvd player'. You just need any monitor/display with a composite (yellow plug) input.

That's the signal that gets out.

You could even use a pair of video/ipod glasses for that matter.

The studio I work at we use a canon camera and shoot tethered to the computer with realtime previewing in DPP (digital photo professional) works very well with minimal lag.

[klasiqk]

what type of lens were you using for this photo shoot?

[mrmindstorms]

it's the nikkor 12-24

[benbriones]

you can see them in real time buy remote shooting i think its called by using adoble lightroom.

[c11umw]

Nikon Capture 2 pulls the images from the camera and it ties in with Lightroom to display them real-time.

As to the comment on Using a DVD Vs a Laptop - I use an Acer One which is as light as the DVD player, acts as storage and I con do some editing if on a train or as a passenger heading home.

[benbriones]

Did you know canon has a program that can you show what your shooting on realtime. I use my mac as you were using your DVD player :)

[lagook]

the dvd is popular because it is smaller and easier to take on location

[Overxpossed]

Hi, how can I transfer, in real time, the pictures I'm taking but to my PC. The monitor I have hasn't a video input, but my video card has a S-Video input with some kind of adaptor which says S in and V out... I think it's Sound and video. Those inputs are RCA.

Tahnks in advance :)
