Operator photos on Flickr

The more I look at this photo the less I like it. The model brought good intensity to it and I like the composition so I ended up including it in this series. However it's a technical disaster. This was a great example of how my inexperience combined with frustration can IMO ruin an otherwise good shot.

Firstly, the Tamron 100mm I was using doesn't auto-focus with my camera. I was having problems with the focus indicator on camera. It just couldn't get a lock most of the time due to the small aperture and low ambient. So my main concern suddenly became whether or not I had the right focus. I'd shoot, check the shot on the lcd (which isn't exactly great on the D3100) for mostly focus only since that was foremost on my mind, then repeat. I think focus is still a little forward of the model's face on this shot.

Second, the exposure was about 2 stops lower than what I wanted. I was so focused on...well...focus, that I stopped worrying about exposure and light composition so much. I really should have switched the key and fill light positions. However the space we were working in would not have easily accommodated the umbrella on that side, so i didn't even think to do that. Instead I tried to get as much fill as I could with the reflector, which clearly wasn't enough.

I really needed to take a step back when I wasn't getting what I wanted out of the shot and really ask myself 'why'. A good lesson learned on this one.

Strobist Info:

Exposed to kill ambient.

Key - Yongnuo 460-II through 48' white umbrella about 35 degrees left of camera and ~2' from subject's face, angled downward. Full power. Triggered by Yongnuo 602.

Rim - Yongnuo 460-II, bare, on the floor almost against the back wall directly behind subject, angled at subject's upper back. 4/7 power. S1 Slave mode.

Fill - White foam core board 35 degrees camera right, ~1' from subject (you can barely see it in the catchlight on his glasses.

Subject was about 10' from the back wall.

The fill on the back wall is actually bounce from the key light

Post-pro Info:

I'd say this was underexposed by almost 2 stops from camera. Bumped exposure a full stop and clarity 60+ in Lightroom. Applied noise reduction filter in photoshop CS6, but there's still too much noise from the exposure increase for my liking.

Telescopic Door Operator

1. 6.3 long track, for 4 moving door leaf

2. Automatic door, Auto reverse

3. CE certifacated

1. Impressive entrances

The LT-190CD telescopic sliding door operator maximizes the opening width and

provides an impressive solution when space is of prime criteria. LT-190CD is

available for bi-parting/four leaf and single slide/two leaf doors. It can also be adapted

to a wide range of different door and customer requirements.

2. Safety

Automatic safety auto reverse when an obstacle is encountered in closing direction.

The safety can be further improved by using Presence detection photocells .People or

objects in the doorway are detected and the door is then prevented from closing until

it is safe to do so.

3. Emergency

The LT-190CD can automatically opens or closes the doors(using battery pack up)–

in the event of a power failure.

this is the 'user interface' with the SEM. I tend to use the knobs, but you can also do most imaging tasks with the keyboard and mouse. The smaller window on the monitor is the image from an IR camera mounted inside the microscope. It allows the user to see how close they're getting to the objective, and the back scatter detector, which is mounted on the underside of the objective (pole piece)
