Technical Aspects

I prefer the digital Canon EOS system. It offers more in terms of speed, resolution and control over the resulting image. All of my lenses are the “L” series type that is the best professional glass Canon has to offer. The Camera body I prefer is the Canon EOS 1d Mark II. This is sufficient for files that are virtually flawless even up to 30”X60.”

When I get a request for photography that requires complex camera movements and a much larger capture I choose my Sinar 4”x5” camera that converts to digital with the 22-megapixel Sinarback 54.

All digital post-production is performed with a choice of the best software in Canon Photo Professional, Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Capture-One software on MacIntosh computers. My monitors are current and calibrated monthly by using Eye-One Greytag Macbeth software tools. Raw photography files are converted to .dng and archived two ways on removable hard drive and CD, DVD Rom media.

I have been using Photoshop since version 2.5 in 1992 and advance my post-production training by daily use and attending workshops. The internationally known speaker “Photoshop-Diva” Katrin Eismann holds a Photoshop seminar I highly recommend. (http://www.katrineismann.com/)
