Some owners like to build their own dolls.

Mishka's Studio - February Mixing Heads

This month I am am featuring an older doll from 2016 and a new head that is light tan, while the doll is pure white. So this creates a problem obviously as the colors are mismatched in certain lighting situations. My workflow in these cases is to adjust the photo with a camera white balance that is more red (opposite to cyan) since tan has a lot of cyan. This yields a warmer color which often neutralizes the tan. I also vary the magenta/green channels - depending if filming outdoors.

Mishka's Studio -The Great Photo Studio part II

Last month I discussed some of the improvements to the studio, and I would like to carry on that discussion as to what I added since.

I purchased a High Speed Sync Outdoor Flash Strobe Light like the Godox in the picture below. This is something that will help low light and even high light situations like outdoor bright sun light scenes.

Now this is something I use for low light too, as it acts as a large and powerful flash unit that has the power to overpower the sun and you get those real nice blue sky and doll exposed correctly pics.

Big or Small, the confusion of DX and FX formats

Hi All,

For this month in January, I am going to go over the issue many photographers face when buying a camera - Should I buy a DX or FX format camera (Nikon) or Full frame or APC sized Canon.

Why is this format stuff important?

Generally, most entry-level and mid-price DSLRs use an APS-C sized sensor, which has it's image sensor dimensions measuring 23.6 x 15.7mm (22.2 x 14.8mm on Canon DSLRs). 

Back in the film days, the rectangle that captured the image on a standard SLR (the film) was one size: 24mm x 36mm
