Help! How Do I Convince My Wife I Need a New Lens?


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Here's the situation. I need to buy a new Canon 100-400mm Lens with image stabilization. It will be such a great addition to my camera bag. I will be able to expand my photographic skills and options with this new lens beyond even my wildest dreams. I have seen the evidence online. But I need to be able to convince my wife that this is a good thing to do. She thinks I am "fine just the way you are." Are you feelin' my pain?

The way I see it, the problem is that we (men, that is) don't see things the same way that most women do. Especially when it comes to upgrading photography equipment.

For us men, there is a definite advantage to upgrading. We look at examples of photos online by others and tell ourselves that if we just had that camera, or that lens we could take the same quality photo. Of course, we need to be able to tell our friends and co-workers that we just got the newest "this or that".

Your wife doesn't buy that logic either, does she? Nope, women are blind to the wonders of advancing photographic technology. Most are oblivious to barrel distortion, overall pixel sharpness, and image stabilization technology. And no manner of explanation seems to get through to them.

But take heart, perhaps there is a way. Our logic is all messed up. Instead of trying to get women to think our way, we should be trying to think their way.

Here's an example of what I'm suggesting. My wife loves family photos. The more the better. In fact, I was going through some old ones on the computer last month, trying to delete some of the clutter, and when she saw what I was doing, she got really upset.

She would say, "You can't delete that one, it's so cute." or "No, not that one, so-and-so is in it." As it turned out, she wouldn't let me get rid of any family pictures...NONE.

So, that's when it came to me that men are using the wrong approach. While some wives like our bird pictures, getting a closer shot of a pelican in flight is not important to them. However, if you could get a close-up of the expression on your son's face as he dribbles the soccer ball toward the goal... You see where I'm going with this? That Canon 100-400mm L is practically on it's way to your house.

I started looking at photography forums and found that this strategy actually has worked for others.

Please don't get the wrong idea about this. I am not suggesting that you try to con your wife or make promises that you don't intend to honor. There are just different ways to use your equipment, some of which will excite your wife more than others. The Canon 100-400mm L is an awesome lens for taking kids' sports pictures, or pictures at the dance recital when you are far away. By all means use it for those. But you can also use it for the zoo or the backyard birds.

Where to Get SLR Camera Repair Services


Image : http://www.flickr.com


If your expensive and latest-technology digital SLR camera gets broken, the obvious and first thing to do is to contact the manufacturer and bring the camera to the nearest branch. For example, if your Canon EOS gets broken and you're residing in the US, you can send your camera to Canon USA. The phone numbers and other contact details for repair facility and services are usually found on company websites so getting contact information shouldn't be that hard.

If you live in a far-flung place in a third world country with no known nearby offices of camera companies, you can still FedEx your camera to a repair center. Just make sure you include your credit card number so they can charge you for their services. Another option would be to send it directly to the importing company.

If you're into vintage cameras and you have a 35mm camera and wouldn't mind spending 200-300 bucks for repair services, you can send the camera back to Pentax or Nikon or any trusted camera manufacturer. Know, however, that there some manufacturers who don't want to bother with models that are over 20 years old. These guys will simply tell you that there are no longer any parts available for your vintage camera model. If this is the case, you should go to specialized camera shops that are willing to revive your camera from scratch or improvise parts to make it work. I recommend the Professional Camera Repair shop located in New York City.

For those who own a Hasselblad, I recommend you get in touch with Gil Ghitelman and consider sending your camera to him. He's the Hasselblad go-to person in my book because he hires his own Hasselblad repair person.

If you live in New England, you've probably heard of Steve Grimes - the only camera legend living in the area. He can help you out with all sorts of large format issues and problems with customize machining. He also does lens mounting, large format shutter repairs, etc. You can check out his website at skgrimes.com and contact him through 401-762-0857. I can't run down all recommendable repair shops or go-to persons in every state, so your best bet would be to ask around and do your own research on where you can get quality SLR camera repair services in your state. If all else fails and you feel that your camera is beyond repair, there's no other choice but to get a new one.

Digital Photography Tutorial - Digital Camera Filters


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Filters are plastic or glass layers placed in front of the lens of a camera to block certain light waves to reach the sensor. Although most filters are designed for DSLR lenses, generic filters can also be purchased and used together with compact digital cameras.

There are many filters out there but I am going to talk about three of the most useful types.

The first one is called the UV filter. UV stands for ultraviolet and it is the electromagnetic rays that can damage your skin and your camera sensor. If most of your photography activities are indoors then this filter may not be useful for you. But it is extremely necessary for outdoors. This filter not only protects the sensor from ultraviolet rays but it also physically protects the front of the lens. This is one of the most generic and cheapest filter but highly essential.

The second one is called the CP-L filter. This filter is actually a polarizer. The filter has a polarizer that can be rotated on a thin surface. This filter allows photographers to adjust certain light rays to pass through the lens and onto the sensor. This filter is handy to minimize reflections from a subject. For example, when shooting a lake, a polarizer may be used to reduce the reflection of the lake, enabling the camera to visibly see the fishes swimming in the lake.

The third one is called ND Grad. Filter. This is an acronym for Neutral Density Graduation filter. Unlike the previous two filters, this filter is separated into two separate regions. The filter is separated into half and one region is darker than the other. The dark region gradually becomes light as it approaches the other half. This filter is useful for landscape photography when the sky is usually overexposed to compensate the exposure of the land. This filter is use to darken the sky and balances the exposure stops between the sky and the land to produce an equally exposed subject. With this filter, the brightness range of the composure is also reduced thus solving the subject-brightness range problem in cameras

There are a few classifications for this filter. There are usually two values of an ND Grad. Filter: 0.3 and 0.6. The 0.3 filters are used for 1 stop compensation where as the 0.6 filters are used for 2 stops compensation. (Each stop is the stop difference between the sky and the land) For each value, there's soft and hard graduation from the dark region to the light region

All lens filters are also categorized with their diameter. That is all about filters now. If you have some money to spare, get a filter today and try it out! There are lots of potentials in photography when using a filter. Ask your local store for some recommendations as well.
