Yeeha ... ein Bild von mir auf der vogue.com Website:

Und hier in meinem Photostream:

Achja, diese wunderbare Kleid ist natürlich wieder von Irene Luft.

Leider ohne Copyrightvermerk auf mich :-(

Ansonsten ein sehr netter Artikel. Bessere Versionen der Bilder (oder nich nur last-minute-edits) findet ihr natürlich in meinem Stream ;-)

Ich muß dann mal noch die ganzen anderen Kleider raussuchen, die bisher schon in Germanys Next Topmodel gezeigt wurden ... Also, freut euch auf weitere (langweilige) Puppenfotos.

Since I have a free saturday since long time ago, I just did some "research" on the color temperature of my Canon 580ex-II and 430ex.

Since I don't have the professional equipment for that, I relied on shooting raw with Canon 5D (on the excellent 100mm Canon Macro) and measuring the temerature of a grey card via Lightroom (and no averaging of many shots). So, take these numbers with a grain of salt.

Variation of temperature of the 580ex-II

1/1 power: 6500K

1/4 power: 6850K

1/16 power: 6900K (Averaged from 2 shots)

1/64 power: 6950K

Variation of temperature of the 430ex

1/1 power: 6500K

1/4 power: 6800K

1/16 power: 6700K

1/64 power: 6700K

So, the 430ex and the 580ex-II are copareable -- *phew* -- so, I did the CTOs and CTBs only on the 580 ...

Temperature with CTO on 1/16 power (580ex-II)

1/4 CTO: 5600K

1/2 CTO: 4450K

3/4 CTO: 3650K

1/1 CTO: 3350K

Temperature with CTB on 1/16 power (580ex-II)

1/4 CTB: 9000K

1/2 CTB: 13500K

I havent found these numbers on the net yet, so perheps this might help some of you.

And, like you can see, to balance a hotshoe flash with a studiostrome (normally 5500K), you'll need the 1/4 CTO on the speedlight.

Addition: The golden reflector for the (small) elinchrom beatyidish brings the strobetemperature to 4400K.

Reinhard pointed me to the fact, that this picture was on "what's hot" (Page 8 or so). Thanks! However today it's off again.

My other two pictures on "what's hot" to date were:

(best rank I remember: Page 8)

(best Rank I remember: 7)

Kann das noch wahr sein?

I think it would be great, if all the Ipernity-Strobists gather together and biuld up a as helpful community as over there on flickr. (For all those ipernity lovers and flickr refugees :-) )

Even though I'm neither a group-admin nor a real "strobist" (I'm just now starting to learn to use my flash off camera), I think, this group needs some advertisement ... so, folks, give life to the strobist group :-)

BTW: Strobist is a cool and very informative blog on off-camera lighting.

Hi there,

knows anybody of screensaver which takes Ipernity's "Whats's Hot" pictures -- the same as slickr does it with flickr?

So, hopefully, I've more time again.

Greez!

Hopefully the next weeks get better -- so,be patient.

Hej hej you all,

according to this great idea www.ipernity.com/blog/tatze/17719 I'll tag my photos with reviewme to signalize that critics are welcome -- especially those, who point me to the mistakes I made.

Als I will point to negative aspects in photographs tagged with reviewme -- which means, that my comentary there might not alway be very polite, but honest ;-)

So again: The tag reviewme is no means a necessity to review, only a reinforcement to give honest critics. No obligation in any way.

Hej då

So, I'm back, yet the the airport security at Sweden (Airport Nyköping)  didn't allow me to take my tripod and monopod as cabin luggage ... so, i'll gave it to relatives (we were visiting together) and they'll send it to me later on) ... well, so I'll have to live without them some time -- argh!

For the next fourtnight, I'll try to gather some pics from Sweden ...
