There are many Miotke family members still residing in Spokane.

Guide Book - lens question
Hi Jim. Your BetterPhoto Guide to DP is great for a beginner like me. Many of the images in the book say shot with "28-105mm" lens.Is that the Canon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM lens? I ask because I have that lens and want to try the settings you used. But I saw one image in the book that listed "28-105mm at f/2.8" and my lens won't do f/2.8. Thanks again and the book is SO helpful, especially on composition for a beginner.

Hi Nick - glad to meet a fellow Miotke. Our name is certainly not the most usual. I pronounce it "Mot-key". How about you?

Thanks very much Milan. I appreciate that. Hang in there with shooting macro... it's gets better the more you practice. Also use a tripod for sure.

studio lighting
I have been looking at umbrellas and lights for a while but just didn't have the extra money to get any. A man in our town closed his studio some years earlier I called him to ask him about some lighting and he gave me two umbrellas to try with my camera. They are about 30 plus years old. He said he wanted 100 dollars for it. I have a Canon Rebel G and a Sony Cybershot 5.1 digital. They don't have a port to use the lighting. I was given an old Canon TX it has a port in the front that fits. I guess my question is can I get some type of adapter to fit my newer cameras or do I need to give this back to him and save up and buy some lighting. The only name I see on the stands is Norman Enterprises,Inc.

Good question. I am sure the lights he is offering you would be acceptable and would work for you fine, however the nice thing about the newer ones is they can sink up with your digital cameras and most are self cooling, a big plus I think. You can also purchase lighting kits now for a pretty reasonable price. $100 is a great price but again, they are older. Either way I think you would do fine it just depends on what you would like in the long run. If you can visit BetterPhoto's forum pages where this type of question has been asked, here is a link to one such question: http://www.betterphoto.com/forms/qnaDetail.asp?threadID=20855 Hope this helps.

lenses
Hi Jim, Great website. Love your wild animal images. May I ask what lenses you used for those photos? Thank you,
Michele

Hi Michele, They vary but I tend to rely on two lenses the most: - 28-135mm when I want to include more of the environment
- 100-400mm when I want a tight portrait or when the animals are distant
- and occasionally the 16mm end of my 16-35 when I want to create fun distorted portraits.
Thanks!

Your Camera??
Hi Jim,
What kind of digital camera are you currently using? I'm considering getting a very nice digital SLR camera, but would like some input from a professional before making my purchase. What do you suggest? My husband has told me I can get what I want. Please help. Thanks, Kim

Hi Kim,
Thank you for visiting my site.
Currently I am using a Canon 5D but that is a very recent purchase. I have and still use my Canon 20D which is an excellent camera. They both are great choices, it just depends on what exactly you will be shooting and what you plan to do with your prints, but either one is a great choice in my opinion.

Hi Diane, it was really nice to meet you and John. I am in a far-away land right now but did just now enjoy looking through your BetterPhoto gallery. You have a good eye for composition. I love the striking crew images, as well as many where you place the subject off-center in a creative and interesting way. Nice work!
