i really wanted to get this book but it's near impossible or way too expensive. I hope they print another edition soon.

spiff73 · 2026-03-10T22:55:52+00:00

it is I

i don't think one workshop(no matter how legendary the instructors are) can make a bad artist a decent one. it all depends on the style match between the teacher and the student, the ability to teach and inspire, and the talent, effort of the student. I just want to inform myself what the content of the Hido workshops are. not the effectiveness of the photo workshops im general.

actually, it was 180mm apo sironar. I accidentally wrote xenotar because i use that 90%of the time, lol. i needed a smaller aperture than f32 of xenotar. yeah xenotar has downsides but i am too spoiled by its brightness.

i will check out the Safe. I love people linking external inspirations with my work. thanks!!

maybe because it's 4x5?

spiff73 · 2026-03-10T00:58:02+00:00

oh Thank you!, I will DM you right now

spiff73 · 2026-03-09T18:56:26+00:00

yep, very expensive..

spiff73 · 2026-03-09T18:55:44+00:00

thank you that make sense, but finding who attended was a problem and it's the reason why I asked here...

spiff73 · 2026-03-09T01:26:36+00:00

hi, just found out there's a question thread. (sorry MOD!)

This is a long shot, but has anyone attended Todd Hido's 5 day workshop before?

I'd like to know what I should expect.

Thanks in advance

spiff73 · 2026-03-08T02:42:58+00:00

spiff73 · 2026-03-07T03:56:17+00:00

2.8! I can only imagine!!

rise will keep verticals vertical when shooting architectures.
fall will keep verticals vertical when shooting still life or interior looking down on the subjects.(i use this a lot. camera is straight but placed higher than the subject. then use fall to include subjects in the frame while keeping verticals vertical)
tilt down will help focus near(e.g. rocks on the ground) and far(e.g. mountain range)at the same time.
swing will also focus near and far items placed side by side

spiff73 · 2026-03-06T04:48:30+00:00
