Aurora hdr 2018 question5/29/2023 How would you adjust shooting for this possibility? - Dave E.Ī: Yes, the past couple of years have been kind of smoky up here! I live in Montana, so I know what you mean. You’re doing a workshop in Glacier National Park this summer. Q: My experience living in the Pacific Northwest is that, over the past four to five summers, forest fires in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia have produced serious haze conditions for both day and night photography in July, August and September. Wildfires and Smoke in the Northwest U.S. Ironically enough, this could also be a case where a generic L-bracket could serve you better one that’s designed a little taller than your camera could allow enough space to mount the vertically oriented body off-center, providing room for your connector underneath, out of the way of the tripod head. Or, if the accessory is the cable, only buy one with that right-angle-type connector. I suggest contacting the manufacturer of the accessory you’re trying to plug in and asking if they can supply or recommend an alternative cable. Another example is exactly what’s happening to you: Plugs that stick straight out from the jack (rather than at a right angle) might not work when the L-bracket is mounted to a tripod head vertically (which kinda defeats the reason for using the bracket). For instance, on my Nikon D3s with the Kirk L-bracket attached, I can’t connect a proprietary power cable to an external battery because of the way the plug is designed. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t still run into problems. One of the advantages is that space is left around each jack and port, so you should have ready access to plug in anything you want. But the more-expensive custom models (such as those made by Really Right Stuff and Kirk Photo) are designed for specific camera bodies. Generic models have the advantage of being less expensive. But yes, I understand your issue, as it’s one I’ve had.įirst, if you’re using a generic L-bracket, that could certainly cause this issue. Do you know of a way to solve that issue? - Michael M.Ī: I love that you’re using an L-bracket! I could barely survive on a shoot without mine. Q: When I shoot in portrait orientation with my L-bracket on, I have the problem of not having access to my USB port to connect a remote release, since it is on the left side of the camera where the mounting bracket also is. Instead, build a shot around the lens you already have! - Lance 2. You shouldn’t need to rent a lens since you don’t have a specific shot in mind. If you don’t have a specific location in mind, then start by thinking about places you could shoot with a good view of the moonrise, figure out exactly where the moonrise will be using PhotoPills, and do some test shots beforehand to see which focal length will work best. We recommend using PhotoPills (see their website or in-app links for tutorials and ideas) to plan your shot if you have a location in mind, and then plan your strategy from there. So much depends on the shot that you have in mind. For the next time, should I rent something zoomier (a 200-500mm)? - Tracy W.B.Ī: Lens choice questions are really hard to answer. This was with my Nikon D750, and I have a 70-200mm lens. It would have been OK if the moon wasn’t super huge in my shot-I just wanted a nice overall image. I wanted to get the moon as part of the landscape, with an in-camera shot (rather than just a zoomed shot of the moon). Q: I wanted to get a shot of the recent super blue moon full lunar eclipse, but I wasn’t sure which lens would be a good one to use.
