Nice tonality and lighting.

Yes, and the B&W a little bigger size if possible. (1000px x 1000px is pôssible on our board)

Welcome Mike, saw your movies you made with the D90 on DPreview already under "pretty girl". Very nice work. Thanks for joining our yound forum. I would like very much to see something like a little "review" by you about the D90 video mode, I'm really curious about that and I'm l...

Hi Stany, love the colors! My favorite is the ant image. So, you seem to be very happy with the Sigma, I suppose? Hi Pamela, Soo happy to read you... Hope you're doing fine. Yes, I like the 180mm very much, but I'll get a 105VR back soon because I miss it for handhold macro and for my first stept i...

It is a nice lens, I considered buying one too. Now I have seen it yesterday and -unfortunately- forgot to try it out, I am in doubt wether I shall buy this one or the 2,8/150 Sigma. Stany, you haven't made things easier. ;-) Goodmorning Leen, As I saw you're using DX cameras, the 180mm will give a...

I would like to shortly comment on a wonderful experience I had with Leen, Stany and Rudy this last weekend.I'll post a few pictures when I have time, I already have uploaded a short selection to give an idea, but those are just unprocessed jpegs, I have a lot of work to do on these pictures to get...

Last sunday, Rudy, Guy and myself had both the honor and the pleasure to spend a day learning about light, lighting and portraiture with Leen Koper , -winner of several wedding and portraiture photography awards in the Netherlands- @ his workshop in Zierikzee, Netherlands. Wow, what an experience......

I have sold both my Fuji S2's. I have some regrets looking back at what it could do. I shoot only now with the Nikon D300. Great for just about everything, but there is just something about those Fuji colors.... I miss. Hi Gregory, I did the same road, from S2pro over S5pro to Nikon, I find D700 co...

Any idea if the Kenko extension tubes would work with my Tamron SP 90 Di?

Yes, it works(had tamron 90mm before) but you only can use MF.

Stany Buyle

And what are the practical applications?
The only knowledge I have about a polariser is that it decreases reflections on glass and water...
What can you do more with a polariser, what's psysically happening while using one?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Great shots Stany. I love the 'not quite a bee'. Can you tell me what sort of working distances you got with this lens and the above shots? Hi Brian, Thanks for your reaction. Working distance was 60cm and closer upto very close, for some of the shots I was using a 20mm kenko extention tube (also f...

http://www.fotografie-forum.be/fotosOpForum/NewsProducts/D5000anim-1.jpg As Leen Koper mentioned already in another topic , a 180 degree Tilt/Swivel LCD is a great feature, both for amateur and professional use. When can we expect a D400 with that feature next to video mode in a professional body? ...

Hi Guy,
Thanks for your reaction.

After having been a very happy nikkor 105VR user since the day it was available back in 2006 -also on FX sensor format cameras D3 and D700-, I went for the Sigma 180mm macro. My initial findings: With this lens I can stay much further away from my subject which is very important for shy insects. AF ...

Hi Stany, glad you have Leen to help you out.It is best to really try it out and see for yourself. Actually, I don´t like the image much you posted. I hope I´m not sounding too negative. It is a very impressive portrait, but the pp is way overdone on top and not consistent overall, so it falls apar...

Studio portraiture is that simple, that is extremely difficult...... The most important thing is lighting and knowing what it does to your subject. That 's why it is important to use a studioflashlight with a light that you can see what your result will be. (What is the name of that light in englis...

I am very interested to learn about portrait photography but I don't know anything about that. I could buy a book, but there is this forum... I have a D700, what lens would be very good? Do I absolutely need softboxes and that kind of stuff, I have a SB800... What aperture should I work to get optim...

While browsiong trough some files I noticed a remarkable speed increase when you add quotations with 1-5 stars to your files. Also the PP possibilities have been improved but it's still no substitute for what Nikon editor 6.27 was. In picture control the window is really too small and you still can'...
