Phantom Power vs. Bias Voltage
Sometimes we have a need here at work to record some quality audio voice overs, either for the purposes of short films or audio communication such as on-hold music, etc. When I started here about 2-1/2 years ago, we barely had a decent still camera, much less quality recording equipment. The closest we ever came was hooking up a webcam and recording v/o off of that device. Pretty crappy.

#478 - Hearing a Song that Reminds You of Someone... →
My wonderful girlfriend Isha reads 1000 Awesome Things quite frequently of late, and I saw this one on her monitor before I went to bed last night. I really do like it when I hear just the right song to fit my mood, and more often than not, I find myself thinking of her. =)

Well, I finally came up with a (somewhat) viable solution for the problem I was having - basically since the camera’s depth of field wasn’t to my liking, I decided to take 2 shots. One with the focus set somewhere around the middle of the product, and a second shot with the focus set right on the...

Frustrating.
OK, so I shot over 200 blurry photos today with a Canon Rebel XSi and a Tamron 90mm lens that I use for just about everything. We shoot a lot of small products at work, and this one was no exception, so it made sense to use the Tamron to get a decent macro shot. The kicker is that for some dumb reason, ALL of my shots appear out of focus - even at an aperture of f/32! I’m out of ideas for...
