PHOTOGRAPHY Q&A - NEW THIS WEEK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NEW QUESTION 1: Pulling Film
Oops! Just shot a roll of Portra 160 at ISO 50 by mistake. Had Velvia in
there last, I guess. My camera (Nikon N90s) sometimes mis-captures the
correct DX coding on my film, and I forgot to check it this time.
I know it's cool to push film on purpose and then have it processed at the
push-rated ISO, but what will happen when I tell the lab to "pull" this roll
back to 50 when processing? How many stops is this anyway?! Two stops?
Two-1/2? Is it possible to get adequate results from pull-processing?
Thanks in advance.

ANSWER 1:
You know, now that I think about it, I wonder if I accidentally changed the
ISO mid roll when fumbling around for the exposure mode button. It's right
beside the ISO button. What are my options here? Have the lab pull it like
above and hope for the best? Or should I have it processed at 160 and try to
fix any problems with PhotoShop?

ANSWER 2:
Piper, I wouldn't worry about it. That film can handle a bunch of
overexposure. If your lab is worth their salt you probably won't even be
able to see the difference in the prints. That's only a couple of stops.
I've overexposed that stuff by 4 or 5 stops and didn't mention it to the lab
and I couldn't tell the difference between the proofs.

NEW QUESTION 2: Centering Pictures
I take pictures and keep cutting off the heads I have the subject centered
inside the yellow square in the viewfinder but samething cut off the heads.
I recently did a whole roll of still shots of doll babies and guess what NO
HEADS! HELP I'M FRUSTRATED!
- Nancy G.
ANSWER 1:
By "yellow square in the viewfinder" I'm assuming you are not using an SLR,
but a point and shoot camera. You are experiencing parallax error. The
viewfinder and camera lens are physically separated by a couple inches. What
you see in the viewfinder is not exactly the same scene the lens will
record. There is very little difference when your subject is 10+ feet away,
but as you found there is a big difference in close-up shots of your dolls.
Your viewfinder may have parallax error lines that you should use to frame a
close subject rather than filling the entire viewfinder.

NEW QUESTION 3: Nighttime Photography
I live in Fredericksburg, VA, and every year the city opens the battlefield
to the public. Part of the tour is the "Lighting of the Battlefield" with
luminarias representing the 15,000+ soldiers that are buried there.
Needless, its a breathtaking display! The park officals allow photography
but without any flashes. I have purchased Fuji 1600 Superia film and I have
a Pentax K1000 with a remote cable and tripod. My question is, how can I get
the best photos with the luminarias being the only light source? I've never
tried nighttime shooting before and it really intrigues me. Any help would
be greatly appreciated!

NEW QUESTION 4: How Do I Eliminate Digital Distortion?
I have a Sony DSC-S75 (3.3 Mega Pixel) camera. I love the images I take but
in many of my photos the background is distorted. It only seems to happen
with light colors (beige, light yellow, off white, gray). It's sort of like
a digitized "blur." It even happens sometimes on skin tones if it's a close
up. If I have dark or sharp colors in the background (reds, blues, dark
green etc.) it's not an issue at all.
This is very frustrating especially to my wife who can't understand why I
spent all the money I did to get a digital camera in the first place.
Is this an issue of my settings? Lighting? Digital cameras in general?
I love the possibilities a digital camera provides but it's not a long term
direction if I can't get this issue resolved.
Thanks for your help.
Here are some examples of my photos with this problem.

NEW QUESTION 5: Copyrighting a Photograph
Without money for a copyright lawyer, what's the simplest way to protect my
work? Thanks. brian hendry
- brian h.
ANSWER 1:
Your work is automatically copyrighted the moment you create it. You can
apply to the copyright office if you want further protection. I think the
fee is less than $50. I've never done it. Unless the image is very special I
think the standard copyright is sufficient.

NEW QUESTION 6: Indoor Basketball Shots
Firstly, a big thank you for your time. I have been taking basketball photos
of my 12 year old daughter in an indoor gym and have not been happy with how
many shots are out of focus, and most have red eyes as well. The camera I am
using is a Canon 300 with a 28 - 300 Tamron lens and a Sigma ST 430 flash. I
use Kodak 400 Max film and a Monopod. I am very happy with the colours and
lighting, so the flash seems to do the job. Has anyone got any other ideas
or tips for me?
Thanks again.

NEW QUESTION 7: 28-105 mm Without IS vs 28-135 mm With IS
Which would be the better purchase -- a 28-105 mm lens without IS or a
28-135 mm lens with IS? I am a novice returning to photography after 20
years (there's a lot of cool new equipment and features out there!) and
would like to know which would be the better initial purchase and why. I do
expect to add more lenses when time (and cash) increases.
Thanks!
- Jane
ANSWER 1:
Sorry, this is a question... what is IS?.
- Marilyn
ANSWER 2:
Image stabilization.
- Jane
ANSWER 3:
These two lenses are very similar in sharpness. Both have ring-USM autofocus
with full time manual focus, non-rotating front element, distance scale, and
metal mounting lug. The 28-135 has, of course, greater zoom range and IS.
The 28-105 is smaller and lighter, using common, inexpensive 58mm filters.
The 28-135 uses 72mm filters.
If you are using it with the smallish Rebel XS, G, or 2000, the 28-135 is
large enough to sometimes cast a shadow when used with the low-mounted
built-in flash. This is less of a concern on the larger Elan, Elan II/IIe,
7/7e, or the EOS A2/A2E.

NEW QUESTION 8: DOF When Shooting With Extension Tubes
Hey anyone and everyone. I have a question about determining sharp focus
while using extension tubes on a macro lens. Why I chose to use both macro
and ext. tubes is beyond me, but that's beside the point really. I took some
closeups of this orchid I'm about to upload using my 28-105mm lens in macro
mode. This lens has a maximum aperture of f/3.5-4.5, which means that when
using any other focal length besides 28mm, the max aperture becomes 3.5. The
macro mode encompasses only the 50-105mm focal lengths, so, of course, when
set at 105mm, I had a maximum ap of 3.5.
Now, here's my question. When focusing on a certain point on my flower, I
wanted just a tad to be in sharp focus. I meant to throw the rest out of
focus. The problem is that the point of sharp focus I saw when taking the
picture did not come out sharp when viewing the prints. I did not check DOF
with the preview button, but now I'm thinking I should have and then set my
focus according to this. Is my problem the maximum aperture thing, or is it
the extension tube? (I was using a 12mm tube.) Also, I only know my aperture
was 4.5 because I was shooting at 105mm. (The ap info does not show up in
the viewfinder when using my extension tubes.)
Anyway, I wanted to know if this was my problem, or if it was just a bad
print. Though I seem to be seeing this a lot in my macro shots, especially
when focusing manually.
Here are two shots that show my problem. The flower is the shot I've
described above. The angel is a 300mm macro shot WITHOUT ext tubes. I
could've SWORN I had a sharp view of the angel's face--or at least part of
it--when shooting this last week.
Thanks in advance.

ANSWER 1:
Hi Piper.
The angel pic looks to me to be suffering from camera shake rather than
being out of focus. Maybe your tripod wasn't quite steady or wind or other
vibration source (do you have/use mirror lock-up or a remote shutter
release?).
- Jon C.
ANSWER 2:
When shooting with telephoto lenses with focal lengths >200mm, and using
exposure times between 1/15 sec and 2 sec or so, MLU (mirror lock up) is
inevitable to get sharp pics. If you don't have one, change aperture and/or
film speed to avoid this exposure time range (also a tripod does not help in
this case).
Also note that 1) zooms do often not work very well with extension tubes;
close-up lenses, especially achromates, work better, and 2) the DOF range
becomes very small when using extension rings.

PHOTOGRAPHY Q&A - CONTINUING FROM PREVIOUS WEEK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CONTINUING QUESTION 1: Photographing the Birth of a Baby.
What suggestions do you have for photographing the birth of my grandchild?
Such as: lens, filters, flash and film. I have a Nikon F100 and several
Nikon lenses. I also have a Tamron 28mm-300mm, which I thought would make
things easy. I usually shoot outdoors, so this will be different for
me(along with the excitement of it).
Thanks for your help, Nancy
- Nancy
ANSWER 1:
Last year I had the opportunity to visit a dear friend who had just given
birth to a baby girl. In my opinion, the shots I took with black and white
film were by far the best. I loved using Ilford HP5 Plus. I used 400 speed
so I wouldn't have to use a flash (which meant I didn't annoy the baby with
bright lights). The black and white film resulted in even, soft skin tones
in the prints of both newborn and very tired new mom. I found a charming
shot of the baby sleeping in her crib using just natural light from the
window.
Keep it simple - you don't need to have anything extra like a stuffed animal
in the shot. Try to keep the background as free from distractions as
possible. And don't forget to take a detail shot of just a tiny hand or
sweet little feet.

CONTINUING QUESTION 2: Film For Wedding: Portra vs. NPH
I will be shooting a wedding and both groom and bride are African American.
I would like some input on whether the Portra nc400 or Fuji nph 400 would be
the call. Please help !!!
- Albert G.
ANSWER 1:
Hi Albert,
I'm a wedding and portrait photographer and always use the Porta line of
films. When I have a black or dark hispanic bride, groom or both I always
use the Porta NC films. My regular film of choice is VC.
The results from my film choices have been very nice and I will continue to
switch to NC films when photographing darker skin tones.
Here's a sticky situation for you: I shot a wedding where the bride was
black and wore a white gown, the groom was blond haired/blue eyed and wore a
black tuxedo. My camera's meters were going ballistic!!! NC film and careful
metering handled the situation beautifully!

CONTINUING QUESTION 3: How To Use AF For Small Group Portrait
Hi,
I recently got a Canon EOS300 camera with 28-90 and 80-200mm lenses. I used
it so far for portraits with success.
I tried to take some close-up photos of 2 people with the 80-200mm lens -
where they fill up the whole frame - and I am having difficulty with the AF
to allow both faces to be focused. (I used the AV progr., I wanted to have
the background out of sight also.)
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance,
Noemi
- Noemi
ANSWER 1:
Well, you will need to calculate your DOF and then focus manually. Some of
the more advanced cameras have a function that will allow you to feed in the
near and far focus points along with your aperture and the camera will focus
so the near and far are in focus at that aperture. If your's doesn't do this
then you must do it manually.
- Jeff K.
ANSWER 2:
Your autofocus should work in this situation, but here are some hints I hope
will help:
Be sure that both your subjects are side by side -- both the SAME distance
from your camera. Remember that with people (and other animals) you should
always focus on the eyes. (When you have to choose, the eye nearest your
camera is usually best). Use focus lock (see your manual if you're not
familiar with the term), then re-compose.
Be careful not to focus between your subjects' heads because more than
likely you'll be focusing on the wall or other background behind them,
turning your subjects' faces into a nasty blur!
Set your zoom at somewhere around 90mm- 105mm and move yourself (and your
camera) in or out for the tight shot you were looking for. This range is the
one considered most flattering for portraits. Longer focal lengths (like 200
mm), especially up close, can reduce depth of field excessively while
wide-angle ones cause facial features to become grossly distorted. Take your
first shot at around f8 and then try another at f5.6 and perhaps a third at
f4. Remember that low f-stop numbers mean shallower focus. Process your film
and compare the results.
Finally, to blur the background (called selective focus) put some distance
between your subject(s) and the background behind them. Never photograph a
subject standing directly against a wall (it can cause the most unflattering
shadows in your image especially with flash).
Hope this is what you were looking for.
- Bob
ANSWER 3:
Noemi,
As you desire to blur the background, please select aperture priority.
Ensure that the background is quie far behind the subject.
Select a focusing point. (page 38 of the manual)
Focusing subjects not covered by the focusing points is the next step. (page
39 of the manual)
This I feel should help.
