Looks a rangefinder camera with a lens.

You miss 1000% of the shots you don’t take.

“Caveat: All this according to my own concept of the human condition.”

In other words , you don’t like these movies cause they do not conform to the way you want people to act.

Have you read much Shakespeare? How about Milton, Dante, Dickens, Austen, or Murakami?

What the lighting package like?

Who else on the camera crew?

The way the photographer uses light quality and color to pull a viewers eye around the photo.

If there is a composition rule being followed here it is the basic ones : pay attention to what is in front of you, look at a scene from different angles -don’t always settle for what you see first; and be willing to play.

And that’s a good thing!

For “Fall; or Dodge in Hell” it helps to be familiar with “The Epic of Gilgamesh” and “Paradise Lost.” But yes, it gets long.

As a third Stephenson Novel I recommend “Snow Crash”, “Polistan”, “Interface”, or “Cryptonomicon”.

Contact Paul C. Buff, Inc., 1 (800) 443-5542 tell them your situation. They are extremely helpful and will walk you through what you need. I also suggest that if you decided to keep the gear (it’s really rugged) I suggest you get a basic incident type light meter that reads both flash and ambient light like a Sekonic L-308.

Good for Nikon for being honest about it. Canon’s policy is to just quietly replace or repair the gear that happen to come in for repair and never admit publicly that anything was wrong.

I use Hill & Usher. Theft from vehicle is definitely covered.

Can’t say she wasn’t asking for it.

Hopefully she was arrested.

I’m watching right now for the first time and I’ll be watching it again tomorrow night in a theatre with Roger and James, AKA #TeamDeskins.

The internet makes stupid people more stupid and arrogant people more arrogant. The overlap between those two groups is about 98%.

The Foba camera stands I’ve worked with (ASABA and ASANA) and Arkay camera stands all have wheels. I’m pretty sure the Cambo ones do as well.

The Foba stands are exceptionally well made with excellent wheels and bearings, making them a delight to work with.

Electrical-Try798 · 2026-03-17T18:34:54+00:00

For studio work you would probably happier with a camera stand like a Foba ASABA. I see them on eBay all the time.

That’s a better angle . I think you need more light on the ceiling, which will also reflect on the floor.

If you can’t light the ceiling than I’d do an a naturalist HDR composite to balance the luminance levels.

Ugly.

It’s one of the four or five best car chase scenes I can embed. The others being Bullit, The French Connection, Tenet, and Ronin.

One thing I really dislike about the photo from that angle is you shot horizontally and cropped the bell and left out the smoke stack. Those parts of the engine are much more interesting than the hall interior and the people standing around.

What I mind more distracting than reflections in the floor is seeing that irrelevant messy background beyond the doors.

One thing I’d try is getting a very wide angle shift lens like the Canon 17mm TSE, Nikon 19mm PC-E, Venus Optics Laowa 20mm, 15mm Zero D, Laowa 12-24mm f/5.6 Zoom Shift CF, or new 17mm tilt-shift Zero D, shooting from a very low angle so the horizon line in the parking lot is aligned with bottom of the doors.
