Tethered shooting tips

I love to shoot tethered and whenever I can I will use my laptop to directly view my images.
In our studio I also shoot tethered of course, seeing your images on a big screen is not only nice for your clients but it also gives me the option to directly flag, delete and of course check my images. Now there are a few tips I want to share with you guys today on shooting tethered.

First of all make sure to check out our friends from Tethertools, they make some of the most useful products for shooting tethered, they ROCK. I always say “even if you shoot tethered sometimes, always use a jerkstopper” and I really mean this, it’s the best protection for your camera you can imagine, nowadays these little ports damage very quickly and the jerkstopper is the best insurance money can buy.

 

TTAero1Safety first
One of the things that a lot of people seem to forget is that when you shoot tethered it does not automatically means that your images are save. I always tell people that when working with storage devices there are always a few things that are certain, first one day it will break down, and two it always happens at the moment that you really don’t want it. So in my book you always have to be prepared. So how do we do this ?

Landscapes

Now I never ever called myself a landscape photographer, let’s be honest… I love movement, I love people, I love street scenes, but landscapes was never really my thing. However sometimes you visit areas where you just are breathless by the beauty of the landscape, and because I did watch some of my buddy Moose Peterson’s classes on Kelbytraining I thought why not, let’s shoot some landscapes. Today a collection of my fav shots from the trip through the Scottish highlands.

Panorama mode on the Sony A99

Ever since I switched to the A99 I’ve been experimenting with certain options that the A99 offers, one of the options I find interesting is the Panorama mode, now I’ve owned some cameras that create nice panoramas but not to jump up and down for, however what the A99 delivers is pretty sweat. The resolution is more than enough for large prints and the stitching in camera is very good. Today some of the panoramas I created during our UK tour.

 

In the Sony you can actually set the panoramas for :
Left to right
Right to left
Top to bottom
Bottom to top
Wide or standard

 

These were all done on the standard setting.
The resolution of a panorama is app : 8200 x 1856 pixels
