#193 : Fine Art Inkjet Paper Printing Tests Part #2

podcast_admin@martinbaileyphotography.com (Martin Bailey) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 22:35:37 +0900

With the plethora of fine art inkjet papers available today, I figured I'd select a subset and run some tests. This is the second part two episodes in which we take a look at the results and my testing methods. You can download my test chart for your own testing with the links in Episode 192's shownotes. I didn't include them again here, because they are the same files, and I didn't want to make people download them twice. You can make your own Granger Chart and Gamut Chart very easily in Photoshop. I found the instructions for this on the Luminous Landscape here: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/test-charts.shtml There is also a PDF document that I released as episode 192.1, that gives a full explanation of the tests and results with the images.

#118.1 : IMPORANT! Listen to this before Ep#118

podcast_admin@martinbaileyphotography.com (Martin Bailey) — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 14:28:14 +0900

It seems that there may be problems caused by the anti-piracy software installed with DxO Optics Pro version 5, so I urge you to hold off on trying the Demo version until we know more. I hope you can still enjoy Episode 118 for now. I will update you again as soon as we get a statement from DxO Labs regarding this. Hopefully we will be able to clear up any problems and continue to enjoy their essentially useful and fun software. If the problems cannot be resolved, we will consider whether or not we should decline the software as a prize for our Assignment Grand Prize winner. If that happens we'll continue to accumulate points until I find another sponsor.

#117 : Q&A #8 - MBP Fine Art Print Options Explained

podcast_admin@martinbaileyphotography.com (Martin Bailey) — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 23:36:07 +0900

Today, partially in answer to a listener's question, I walk you through the options available when buying a Fine Art Print from my online gallery. The main thing to remember is if you aren't sure about the options, choose the defaults. This will always give the best results, and allows me the creative freedom to crop as necessary leaving a tasteful border. Of course you can always contact me with any queries too, and I'm open to specific requests that you can mail in advance or write into the optional comments field when ordering prints.

podcast_admin@martinbaileyphotography.com (Martin Bailey) — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 22:44:36 +0900

I have recently picked up a Canon EF 300mm F2.8L IS USM Lens, and today I discuss some of my first impressions, including having shot with the 1.4X and 2X Extenders. This is the forum post I mention with the 100% crops of the example images: http://www.martinbaileyphotography.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1765 To see all images shot with the Canon EF 300mm F2.8L IS USM, use this link: http://www.martinbaileyphotography.com/thumbnails.php?album=search&narrowdown=lens&search=Canon%20EF%20300mm%20F2.8L%20IS%20USM This link will take you to the lens on the Canon US Web site: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=154&modelid=7317 Note there is a lens cap listed under the accessories for this lens on the Canon Web site, but looking at the other lenses that it fits, I don't see how it can fit the 300mm F2.8, unless it is a variable size lens cap of some kind.
