You can shoot tethered in Lightroom with the addition of this plugin http://www.mountainstorm.co.uk/photography/page2/page2.html

Thanks for the great info!

Don,

Thank you for all the lighting series and especially now for making the tech sheets available as a pdf. Any chance of the first two being available as pdf’s?

Thanks to you and Briana.

Hi Art:

I use the cord that comes with my Canon cameras and it links directly to my laptops with a USB in. Using the Canon Software, (Utilities) I can designate a folder on the laptop and shoot the images straight into the computer completely bypassing the card if I want to.

The image comes up in the software with a histogram and the full color of the finished image… in other words, I don’t have to rely on the screen on the back of the camera. I understand that Lightroom may allow shooting straight in as well, but am not sure on that.

Try it… you’ll love it.

Very nice. I love the fall off on the light.

I’m curious why you used the reflector … would just putting foil around the outside of the Fong have achieved the same thing without all the spill?

I need to try this. Please send Briana around for a shoot, thanks. :^)

Don, would you mind explaining what shooting tethered is. I know the photos go directly to your computer as you shoot them, but is your camera connected to your computer with a cord or is it wireless?
