Airport 4-Sight Four-Wheeled Roller Temporary Price Reduction & Free FedEx Shipping!

Think Tank Photo Airport 4-Sight

My friends at Think Tank Photo just announced that their new Airport 4-Sight four-wheel roller is available in limited quantities at a temporary price reduction to $249.75. This is a $50 savings over the regular price! If you want to know more about this bag, see my review.

With the Airport 4-Sight’s four swiveling wheels, you are free to move about the airline cabin like never before. Unlike traditional two wheeled rolling bags, the 4-Sight can be rolled along side you, reducing fatigue while hauling gear around town or through crowded airports.

As airlines continue to tighten down weight restrictions, it is more important than ever to have a lightweight bag that offers sufficient space for your gear. The Airport 4-Sight is one of the lightest rollers to meet domestic and international carry-on standards. The 4-Sight comfortably carries up to two standard DSLR bodies with lenses attached and an additional three to five standard lenses. If you use a battery grip or pro bodies with a vertical grip, the 4-Sight offers a number of potential configurations for your gear as well.

Free Gift and Free Shipping With Your Order

As one of my friends, in addition to saving $50 on your order of the Airport 4-Sight you will receive free gear with your order and receive free FedEx Ground shipping!  The free gear and free shipping are good on all of your orders of all gear from Think Tank through December 31, 2012.

REVIEW: The Art of Boudoir Photography: How to Create Stunning Photographs of Women

WARNING: Preview contains images NSFW

The Art of Boudoir Photography: How to Create Stunning Photographs of Women is a book on boudoir photography written by female photographer Christa Meola that focuses on how to create sexy and classy photos that show off the beauty and curves of a woman. Unlike other books on the subject which tend to be more self-serving printed portfolios of the author, this book is actually education and fun. It features lots of great tips, advice, and practical recommendations that I’ve not seen discussed in any other book on the subject. Even if you choose to never go fully nude, I think many of the recommendations in this book would be helpful in photographing women in general, so I feel comfortable recommending it for all photographers.

Why I Like This Book

This book isn’t just a book with pictures of naked women – it’s actually a good resource on composition, lighting, and the psychology of photographing women. It features really great practical advice on how to prepare yourself, the set, your assistants and the model for a great shoot – all of which could be applied just as well to a swimsuit or even a model in winter clothes.

There’s checklists, and numbered lists of things you can use to help you be prepared and get the shot on a shoot. There’s also some basic tips on post-processing as well as composition that those new to photography will really enjoy.

Conclusion

It doesn’t matter if your model is an amateur, pro, or a member of your own family – the techniques discussed will be helpful for any shoot – not just boudoir shoots. This is why I think this makes a great gift for the photographer in your household as well as well as would-be boudoir models to help them understand the difference between this style of photography and pornography.

TECHNICAL NOTE: There’s one issue I noticed in this book that I should point out – all of the photo captions assume the reader knows that shutter speeds are in factions of a second, so if you see 200 sec then that really means 1/200 sec – not 200 seconds (i.e. over 3 min) for the exposure! The book is consistent on this point, so don’t let this throw you if you are super detail oriented.

Save 30% Topaz Detail 3 or Bundle (including upgrades) for 2 days

Click here and use the coupon code GETDETAIL to save 30% until the end of day on December 18th. This offer is for the bundle, bundle upgrades or just Topaz Labs Detail 3. This can’t be combined with my everyday 15% off RONMART coupon code.

A Peek at the Detail 3 User Interface

Real-time slider adjustments

The new user interface is significantly faster and able handle much larger images as well as offering live interactive sliders (shown below in the detail panel). Some of the other great new features include:

• Better Detail Control. In addition to breaking down detail into sizes, it is now also broken down in to 3 sub-categories: Overall, Shadow and Highlight, providing the highest and most flexible detail control available.
• Over 100 New Presets. Quick selection of multiple types of detail enhancements.
• Preset Collections. Presets are organized into unique collections, and there is now the ability to add personal collections.
• Improved Toning. Using IntelliColor technology, the tone controls are more consistent and natural.
• Split Screen. Use the 2-screen split view for easy before and after comparison.

The new presets means beginners can click to find the perfect sharpening

Adjustments Panel

The Topaz faithful will be right at home on the right side of the user-interface as they dial in their desired level of detail, tone, color and make deblur corrections (which is no substitute for InFocus). This latest evolution of the user interface features improvements including snapshots and effect masks to make sure you get the sharpening where you need it and prevent it from going where you don’t (i.e., skies, flat surfaces with no texture, etc…). This is especially handy for Lightroom users so you can get the results you need without having to rely on Photoshop masking, opacity, etc…

Before / After Shots

The following images were provided by Topaz Labs as before and after shots that show the benefit of Detail 3 on these images:

Conclusion

If you’ve used Topaz Labs products, then you' should be right at home in this user interface. It’s consistent with what you’ve come to expect from Topaz and it’s presets will help beginners get great results and experts can tweak the presets to get the ultimate control from a great starting point. If sharpening is a mystery to you, then you might want to give this product a second look. With its dirt cheap price, even before my 15% discount (found on my discount coupon code page), it’s pretty much a no brainer for those who are dissatisfied with their current sharpening results.
