Tethering on a D2x
Posted under: Recently, when i shoot in studio I’ve gotten used to shoot tethered. Tethered essentially means shooting with your camera hooked up to your computer so that you can see the images immediately afterwards. I first got introduced by talking with Rodney Young, a great east coast fashion photographer. Tethering has many great advantages, for one, you are able to see the images on a much bigger screen, so that you are able to see all the details. Make up, lighting, shadow…it helps everyone. It helps the stylist to see the wrinkles, the mua with the details on the eye lashes which need to be changed. It helps the photographer to check the lighting setup. I highly recommend shooting tethered when You have the opportunity and when you can be bothered really. Here is a quick video I made during one of my recent shoots on tethering. Watch the video and I’ll have links to the software used and specifics after the video.
If you can shoot tethered, I highly recommend trying it out. It saves frames and you are able to figure out what’s wrong quickly instead of regretting something while sitting in front of your computer afterwards, or spending hours in photoshop. enjoy
