Shooting wireless tethered for headshots

Nikon D4, Nikon 85mm ƒ/1.8G, ISO 50, ƒ/4.5, 1/160
Yesterday I did headshots for my daughter's theater. I used a very simple setup that I have shown here before.


Here you can also see the setup with my wife helping with putting the names into the metadata fields as I was shooting.


Now I was shooting wireless tethered by using CamRanger system.


To see how to use this system you can look at my earlier blog post on the system. I shot all these as RAW this time and didn't shoot JPEGs.

There is a delay from time shot is taken to the time it pops up on the computer.

Here is the workflow outlined for you:

You can see here in the screen shot of adding the subject's names to the caption field using PhotoMechanic.


Here the client can download with a password I provided to them or order prints online.


Here you can see the screen when they add it to their cart:

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.

But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:

One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.

Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.

Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.

Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
