Hi Bob thanks for the link! >From the description, it does not seem *that* hard to do but I still feel otherwise for unknown reason :-) Hey, he even uses zooms :-) greetings Markus
-----------quoted from that website--------------------------------------------------------------------- -- "TECHNICAL "STUFF" For anyone interested, at time of writing all of the pictures here were shot using my Nikon N90, with one of several lenses which include a Nikon 80-200mm 2.8AFD and a Sigma 170-500mm as well as some shorter primes and a Tamron 90mm macro. I invariably use a tripod for this work and rely almost entirely on the camera's excellent metering capability, with an occasional decision to switch between spot, centre-weighted or matrix metering according to what is in the frame. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Bob W [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2005 6:10 PM >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: RE: How to photograph the Chagall windows? >> >> >>Google knows everything: >>http://www.stainedglassphotography.com/ >> >>-- >>Cheers, >> Bob >> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: Markus Maurer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> Sent: 23 October 2005 15:27 >>> To: [email protected] >>> Subject: How to photograph the Chagall windows? >>> >>> Hi Pentaxians >>> A client asked me to photograph the windows of Marc Chagall in Zurich. >>> Kurt Salzmann did it so well at >>> http://salzmaenner.steinernet.ch/chagall/, >>> (I think he used Kodachrome 64 or a digital camera for it). >>> He has some other extremely nice photos, have a look at "Foto >>> Projekte". >>> >>> I would like to know how to get the best results. >>> I think about using ISO 100 film on the Pentax SFX and a >>> monopod - I think tripods are not allowed - and try to get >>> all of the window with a 35mm or 50mm lens to avoid distortions. >>> If that's not possible, >>> I could try with a 24mm or 28mm. >>> How should the metering be done, only on the light parts >>> (with a tele) to get a slightly underexposure and bolder colors? >>> Or just bracketing with automatic settings and +-1 ev? >>> What about the sunlight shining trough the windows, would the >>> results be better when the sky is overcast? >>> >>> thanks for and advice >>> greetings >>> Markus >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>
