We have all got along very well in the past watching movies, cartoons and all of our favourite programmes in 2D. So why should we go out and spend a lot of money just to see that extra dimension?  It's probably fair to say we've all been to the cinema to watch at least one of the movies available in 3D, movies such as Avatar, Toy Story 3 and Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.  But do we really want it in our living room? 

The best decisions are always the most informed. It's always best to weigh up the pros and cons before making any type of purchase, especially one that will have a huge impact on your budget. 

I usually make up a list of what I would consider the most important questions that would help me to make a decision based on facts and not emotion. 

FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1.  What is the difference between 2D and 3D technology?

The D stands for dimension, 2D is made up of 2 dimensions, height and width.  3D has an added dimension of Depth.

• 2D = Height and width
• 3D = Height, width and depth

Q2.  Will I have to wear those awful glasses?

 The answer is yes if you want to see that additional dimension.  Although I have to say they have greatly improved in both looks and technology since the old anaglyph method.  Remember those? One lense was red and the other cyan and produced a poor quality and lower resolution than the new version. 

Q3.  So how are the new glasses different?

Well the new High Definition 3D televisions need the latest technology called active liquid crystal shutter glasses.  These give the illusion of a 3rd dimension by blocking each lense separately in a quickly timed sequence.  This works in tune with the TV by way of an infrared signal, radio technology or bluetooth which controls the timing of this sequence. 

Q4.  Are the glasses free when you buy the Television?

As a rule no, and in comparison to the older anaglyph glasses they are much more expensive. They can cost well over a hundred dollars for a manufacturer's brand. 

Q5.  How much does a High Definition 3D television cost?

This is dependent on size and manufacturer. Prices can range from 65 inch Panasonic approx $7,000, to a 40 inch Samsung approx $1380. 

So the most important question you need to ask yourself is 'do I really need this latest technology'? Based on price alone it probably best to wait until prices come down and they will eventually. On the other hand if you just can't wait to have the latest technology there are always bargains to be had if you do your research.

Digital Photography: Macro Lenses

Good photography, whether it's using digital or conventional film, relies on a number of basic things - a camera body, a lens and you! All three of these things can be top quality or just plain average. Which would you prefer?

One of the things I've preached to my photography students over the years, especially the techno-files, is that yes the camera body is important, and never more so than in this day and age of CCD chips and many mega-megapixels, but even more important than the body is the lens or lenses you put on it.

I cannot emphasize enough how crucial good lenses, and unfortunately expensive lenses, are but there is no substitute for good glass and good construction.

And when it comes to Macro/Micro Photography add another 20% to the crucial factor. Do yourself a favor if close-up photography is your thing, buy yourself a brand name, 1:1 Macro lens. Both Canon and Nikon include 1:1 Macros in their stables, they're not cheap, but they're absolutely worth it.

The latest Nikon 105 f2.8 Micro AFS lens is a great example of this quality. It has an incredibly shallow depth of field* when working close up which adds an edge to the creative effect. It can transform the mundane, average reality shot into an emotive art piece in an instant - experience this once, and you'll keep coming back for more, and where needed it produces perfectly sharp, precise images as well.

Macro lenses are expensive but the quality of the lenses speak for themselves and long term the investment is worth it, especially when you consider the huge gain in creativity and enjoyment of using such a precise tool.

Remember one thing though when working really close-up, the shift in focus from in-focus to out-of-focus is so rapid at wide open apertures that it's sometimes hard to be sure the point of focus or the subject you are focusing on is enough to hold the picture together creatively. If in doubt, shift your focal point to several positions on your subject and shoot 3, 4 or even a dozen shots.

One of the fantastic things about this digital revolution is that shooting many frames at a time on one subject has no inherent cost. Experiment! Try different apertures, bracket (taking more than one shot at a time at different exposures in order to get the best exposure), try with flash, try without flash ...

The list of possibilities is endless. It's worth shooting extravagantly in the beginning to find a look and feel that you like. Remember in focus or out focus, with movement and without, they all have merit. If you like crisp clean images, then I advise always using a tripod - the amount of camera shake you get is generally exaggerated the closer you get to the image. Furthermore, because focusing is so critical close up, a tripod is a really useful tool, it also slows you down a bit, allows time for reflection, a bit of time for pondering, weighing up options. Of course this doesn't mean that your subject is necessarily going to stay still, but then you can't have everything.

If you are like me, and you enjoy taking a lot of flower pictures you'll know all about trying to keep flowers steady on a windy day! I've taken pictures in the past where the flower has almost completely left the frame by the time I took the picture. Frustrating and yet even then I've found that sometimes the effect of a flower moving out of frame is gorgeous... a bit blurry, a bit odd but cool nonetheless. Serendipity at its best.

*For those of you who are new to serious macro photography with a DSLR remember that the aperture of the lens is always set to its widest open position to make focusing easier and only shuts down to the aperture you selected when the shot is taken - hence the sometimes annoying difference you see between the final image and the image you see while focusing.

Do you take a second camera with you to take pics at wedding?

i have a nikon d90 and lense with flash. do i need a extra body only or do i need an extra of all 3?

All three, but I wouldn't consider them extras. You should have enough backup equipment to cover failure of a camera, lens and flash.
I don't consider myself as a wedding photographer, but I will do them for friends, family and unreasonably large sums of money.
I use two digital 35mm format cameras with flash, one with a narrow angle zoom and one with a wide-normal angel zoom. I don't need a digital camera backup as this system is nearly redundant. I use one 35mm film camera with lens and flash. I use 2 medium format cameras, either/and a twin lens and a range finder with the fastest lenses I have for them. No flash for these except off camera if needed. They are good for firing quietly and remotely, fine image quality and a range finder is easy to carry at all times. A second shooter and assistant with their equipment. Specialty prime lenses, memory cards and film.
