Moose’s lifelong passion is photographing our endangered wildlife and wild places. Since 1981 he & his wife Sharon have dedicated their lives to this pursuit. Educating the public about our wild heritage is their hallmark. In 2008 aviation photography was added with the same goal of preserving our aviation heritage and the freedoms they protect.

Moose was the creative producer/photographer of his acclaimed film: Warbirds and The Men Who Flew Them. He has been published in over 143 magazines worldwide, author of 29 books including his latest, Takeoff and best seller Captured.

  • @merkin22
    @merkin2216 күн бұрын

    Excellent advice. As for knuckles, the naming origin I suspect can be found in (even your own) the use of the word 'joints' for the segment dividers of the tripod legs -- look at a finger on your hand and see the knuckles marking each joint in the finger. Cheers!

    Thanks for the video, really nice! As far as I understood, if you go from 10 to 9 on profoto, that would be 1 full stop and to 8 power it would be 2 stops. The app function with the phone through Blutetooh is also fine! Specially if you are using the Profoto Connect.

    Ok just have to confess when I saw the heading of this video All I could think was. I didn’t know that there was a moose season in the Palouse area. I live just north of Pullman in Idaho. I have seen moose at my place in the woods and multiple times on the Palouse. So I had to see who shot a moose. Oh well he is right this area is on of the most beautiful places in the world. Thank for clearing up my confusion. 🙂

    ⁠ thank you for getting back to me and clarifying this. That was very kind of you. I’ve been trying to use two of these lights together and they’re just blowing everything out. Everything is just a white picture. I’m going to try today on some heavy filters on there to get the light down. I’ve tried adjusting the settings, but to no avail. When I bought the lights, I got two batteries, but I can’t find anywhere how to use them.

    In my small photographer circle, I know two who hold the camera by the tripod foot. I never really understand the point, primarily for the points you mentioned: it's harder to hold the lens steady, and you don't have access to the controls on the lens. For me, that foot has one purpose: to attach the camera to a tripod. If I'm not using a tripod, I take the foot off the lens and store it on the tripod. It saves a little weight and keeps it out of the way. So, yeah, basically everything you just said.

    Thank you for that Moose. I'm just a newbie and struggling a little with my F mount D series 80-200 just hand holding. I often nudge the AP or zoom ring, generating an EE code when I've just hit the AF button. Loving my DF all the same, the manual controls make it real simple to learn on! Just have to figure out what I could use the priority modes for and how... I'm stuck on M mode and switchable auto eyesso!

    Thanks Moose. I move the foot to approx 45 degree (from the bottom) on the left side. Then the foot and bottom of the lens barrel are on the same plane (underneath). Makes for a much bigger "platform" to rest in my hand. Just another way to hang on to the heavier glass.
