A photo, a portrait, can sometimes be a puzzle. Asked to do a feature on Sophie Clarke, last fall’s Survivor South Pacific winner, it was up to me to find a concept. How do you meld Survivor, reference the South Pacific where it took place, and pay homage to her new home town, [...]
Last Friday was my first opportunity to use the Litepanels’ Sola ENGs on set. They worked well and definitely far better than relying on my Omni Lights + CTB filters for backdrop lights.
The light from the Sola ENGs is easy to control. The two were set to flood and full power, their [...]
![L to R: Sola ENG set to flood = f/4; Sola set to mid-point [similar to usable are of Omni + CTB] = f/4.5; Sola set to spot = f/6.3.](http://www.jonroemer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/sola_eng-88x36.jpg "sola_eng"){kind=small}

In the past week it has come out that there is an issue with LCD on the 5D Mark III. At first it seemed like the cause was the Internet feeding frenzy moving on from obsessing over whether the 5D Mark III’s movie mode is sharp enough to a new touchstone but Canon has
Right on the heels of the Apple Digital Camera Raw update I processed an assignment shot on Thursday morning with the 5D Mark III in Aperture.
If anything the files look wonderful and feel very film-like.
All good, that is until I looked back at the assignments I had processed in ACR (while waiting [...]
For those on the wait, Apple just issued Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.12 adding support for the Canon 5D Mark III. You can now process 5D Mark III files in Aperture (and iPhoto for that matter.) The update is available through Software Update in the System Preferences.
