The magic in pixels

[ONUpolarbears]

Hey guys,

I'm not really sure to post this but I'm trying to buy some pictures from www.themagicinpixels.com and I'd like to know if any of you have gone through them and if they're reliable?

I can't find any store reviews on them and I just want to make sure they're reputable.

Thanks guys,
Jim

This site was actually mentioned on last weeks Inside the Magic Podcast, Ricky Brigante provided a relatively positive review of the site.

I have not purchased anything from the site, but I have been listening to Tim Devine (owner of the site) on the Magical Defination podcast, and would have to believe everything is definately on the Up and Up. I have heard nothing but exceptional reviews of his pictures, and if there were any problems with the ordering process, he is very accessible and will do what it would take to get it right.

I met Tim last year at Mousefest, and my wife took one of the photo tours - he's a great guy - I wouldn't hesitate at all in purchasing anything from him.

This is probably a severe threaddrift and will wind up dumped into a different category, but....

Tim, I've noticed you shoot a ton of indoor attraction stuff at ISO 3200 with appropriate F-Stop and shutter speed. My digital (Fuji S-9000) won't do 3200, but it'll hit ISO 1600. I don't want to screw with shutterspeed too much due to the moving nature of the rides, but should I be able to get similar results if I adjusted the apperture to an "equal" exposure quotient/rating/factor/whatever? I know that'll change depth of field, but should it be otherwise OK?

As you can tell, I know just enough about digital photography to get my throat cut. :lol:

i don't want to get too off topic but i will gladly answer your question...

if you go from ISO 3200 to ISO 1600, you are losing 1 stop of light sensitivity. therefore, you need to cut your shutter speed in half for the same exposure, or open the aperture another stop to allow the same amount of light in.

think of this as a triangle in which all sides are equally dependent on each other. as one changes, at least one of the other two much change reciprocally.

you should think about joining the forum on my site because we talk about this quite a bit.
