Quite a many times I noticed that focus was off the target. LCD screen is good but not big enough for me to be sure when I am focusing correct. On the other hand dof is thin and my eyes are old.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Something was to be done either bigger screen or better eyes. Better eyes I couldn't get and bigger screen was too expensive and will need also more batteries to the field to carry with.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I saw somebody was using Hoodman Loop 3" and I decided to buy one. I bought also one LCD Hood &amp;amp; Cap for 40D.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did cut upper section off from LCD Hood &amp;amp; Cap and glued that to hold Hoodman Loop 3" in a correct position.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Now I can press Hooman Loop against my eye corner to hold camera steady when shooting video.

So if you have Cokin gradient filters it might be a good idea to correct magenta cast by calibrating your setup with gradient filter.&lt;br /&gt;Canon L series lenses seems to be similar but my Zeiss lenses and specially Hartblei Super-Rotator Tilt&amp;amp;Sift lens needs own corrections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Result&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;You need several values for all kind of lighting conditions with you gear and save corrections to ACR presets. Presets you can use in both Lightroom and ACR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what does calibration change in a photo and can you notice it?&lt;br /&gt;Camera calibration helps you to get cleaner colors. Get several calibration values in your presets. Move cursor over preset values and you can see and compare easily the results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did notice that EOS 5D uses big corrections on red channel Red hue about -16 and Red saturation 40 on hard sun light. I think you can see effect quite clearly.&lt;br /&gt;Camera calibration has helped me to find out how my camera bodies and lenses works related to color. I have had many times a difficulty to find out any neutral areas in a photo to measure values for color correction. You can get only shadow cast and highlight areas measured but this is not enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;So what are you still waiting get a ColorChecker and calibrate your camera gear!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have used these presets with my cameras. Install C:\ Documents and Settings\user\Application data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://kohan.1g.fi/Presets/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Presets for 1D Mark III, 5D, 40D and 20D.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8407167115954273567-1456543867259300349?l=kohanphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kohanphotography.blogspot.com/feeds/1456543867259300349/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8407167115954273567&amp;postID=1456543867259300349' title='1 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8407167115954273567/posts/default/1456543867259300349'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8407167115954273567/posts/default/1456543867259300349'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kohanphotography.blogspot.com/2008/01/adobe-camera-raw-calibration.html' title='Adobe Camera Raw Calibration'/><author><name>Hannu Korpinen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10987556580575425209</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407167115954273567.post-8899998426385098616</id><published>2008-01-16T10:41:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-01-16T10:55:52.973+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Kuula vihdoin kotona</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://kohan.1g.fi/Hosting/_MG_5005.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://kohan.1g.fi/Hosting/_MG_5005.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;No niin kuula saapui vihdoin perille.

Valmistaja ja myyjä on yksi ja sama &lt;a href="http://www.reallyrightstuff.com/ballheads/02.html"&gt;Really Right Stuff&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Tilaamisessa ja tavaran toimittamisessa ei ollut mitään ongelmaa. Tavara lähti samana päivänä kohti Suomea USPS Global Express Mail:nä ja oli heti tämän vuoden ensimmäisenä arkipäivänä Helsinki-Vantaan tullissa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Soitin samana päivänä postin tai Itellan huolintaan varmistaakseni että he huolitsevat lähetyksen Vantaalla eikä lähetä sitä turhaan Jyväskylään tullattavaksi. Puhelimen toisessa päässä henkilö selittää että hän ei voi tehdä asialle mitään ennen kuin he ovat lähettäneet postilla saapumisilmoituksen. Siis tulli voi sattuman varaisesti joko laittaa sen Jyväskylään tai sitten jättää sen Vantaalle tullattavaksi. Kerran aikaisemmin he lähettivät toimituksen Jyväskylään josta sitten jouduin sen omin kuluin hakemaan Keuruulle vaikka olin tilausta tehdessä maksanut kuljetuksesta perille asti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Sain sitten aikanaan saapumisiloituksen ja vastasin siinä kysyttyihin asioihin sähköpostilla. Varmistaakseni asian etenemisen soitin jälleen huolintaan ja kuinka olikaan sama henkilö vastasi puhelimeen. Kerroin hänelle että olin laittanut sähköpostilla saapumisilmoituksessa kysytyt tiedot ja kysyin onko asia kunnossa. Hän vain selittää että jos vastasin ilmoituksessa kysyttyihin asioihin niin asia on kunnossa vaivautumatta tarkastamaan asiaa sen kummemmin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Lähdin seuraavalla viikolla työmatkalle Tanskaan ja siellä ollessani seurasin netin avulla lähetyksen etenemistä. Koska seurannan mukaan lähetys edelleen oli tullissa Vantaalla soittelin Keuruun postiin varmistaakseni olivatko he vastaanottaneet minulle tulevaa lähetystä. Paketti oli edelleen Vantaan tullissa ja huolintaa ei ollut tehty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Soitan Tanskasta Itellan huolintaan ja kysyn lähetyksen tilaa. Sama henkilö vastaa taas. Eikö sillä ole kuin yksi mies töissä? Vastaus kyselyihin oli ettei he ole saanut mitään sähköpostia tai sitten sitä ei ole saatu auki. Juuri näin, lupasin lähettää sähköpostilla uudelleen tiedot kun pääsen reissusta takaisin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Laitoin seuraavana sunnuntaina uuden mailin huolintaan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Maanataina ei kuulu ei näy mitään edistystä.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Tiistaiaamuna saan soittamalla uuden henkilön kiinni ja selitän hänelle asian. Hän löytää kuin löytääkin mailini ja kertoo että se on kyllä tulostettu mutta ilmeisesti asialle ei ole tehty mitään.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Hän lupasi heti hoitaa asian pois alta. Hurrraaa!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Eletään ja katsellaan mitä lupaus pitää sisällään. Siis tästä asioiden hoitamisesta tai hoitamattomuudesta Itella sitten vielä veloittaa yli 20€.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Taidanpa valita sellaisen myyjän maailmalta joka lähettää tavaran UPS tai DHL kuljetuksena. He tuovat samalla veloituksella aina kotiovelle ja veloittavat huolinnasta alle 15€.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Siis miksi kiusata Itellaa näin hankalilla asioilla.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8407167115954273567-30569034988799395?l=kohanphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kohanphotography.blogspot.com/feeds/30569034988799395/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8407167115954273567&amp;postID=30569034988799395' title='2 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8407167115954273567/posts/default/30569034988799395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8407167115954273567/posts/default/30569034988799395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kohanphotography.blogspot.com/2008/01/valokuvaustarvikkeiden-huolinta-ja.html' title='Valokuvaustarvikkeiden huolinta ja tullaus'/><author><name>Hannu Korpinen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10987556580575425209</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
