Re: JM Reporting From "Da Bayou"
I didn't shoot "tethered" (actual wire connection or wireless). I know about the technology and could do it with my cameras, but its most useful for shooting in a studio environment. I do some of that with models, but most of what I do involves location work that requires me to move around a lot. To me, while tethered shooting is an extremely useful tool in the studio, its a bit of an unnecessary complication in the field.
What I did in this case, was to pop off a couple of shots and then connect the camera to the laptop with a USB cable. From that point, the computer reads the camera as if it were a hard drive. I don't do any heavy editng in the laptop, so I don't use Photoshop in it. In this case, ACDSee Pro was used for resizing, before uploading the photo into Photobucket, via the aircard.
The cabins that you see are referred to as "camps" in Louisiana. This location is accessable by boat only. Its kind of a cool place, because the local utility company ran power lines to them decades ago, at a time when quite a few people actually lived in the camps full time. They even dropped cables into the bayou, for a bunch of camps that you can't see (to the right) in the photo.
I've been tempted to live out there full time for quite awhile, but it is impractical for people who have to go "in town" on a daily basis. "Back in the day," there were twice as many camps there as now exist and many people did live in them full time. I think most were commercial crabbers, shrimpers, etc.
