Tethered shooting means you have your camera connected to your computer or laptop (usually a laptop for mobility purposes). This allows you to shoot and transfer images straight into the computer as you shoot.

1. Canon DSLR that supports tethered shooting with the latest firmware. 5D, 40D and MK 2N

2. Computer or laptop that can run canon’s EOS Utility software that came with your camera look for the most current version.

3. USB cable no longer than 15′ we recommend using a 10′ from Monoprice.com Firewire cable for MK 2, 3 series.

4. Adobe Lightrom 2.0

5. External Monitor 20″ or bigger Apple cinema 24″ or 30″ display. (optional)

Aloha and welcome to thedigidarkroom.com by bradyoshiro.com.are you ready to launch your photography off the ground and make some awesome images? if your answer is “yes” your in the right place.

A small introduction about us before we go off into the wild wild west of digital photography. We have been shooting photography for the the last decade and have entered into the industry at the start of the digital revolution, where everything is digital with a world full of gadgets. We started off shooting surf photography and now shoot weddings. We have experimented in fashion, portrait, landscape and all kinds of photography along the way, enough to get into trouble. but we would have to say our strengths are in surf and wedding photography.

The whole reason we wanted to start this site, is because two friends (www.bradyoshiro.com) (www.davecollyer.com) talking shop about the latest cameras trends and how we could improve our photography. Instead of keeping it to ourselves we have decided to share some our experiences and knowledge with you.

So continue reading and start from anywhere you want as we go over the basics of photography, equipment, techniques, workflow, and wherever else this site and photography will take us.

Before you continue on, please create an account on the forum by clicking here to register this will allow to post and ask questions about each post.

Well, enough nonsense, let get started!!! Mahalo for reading and Happy Shooting!

please feel free to post comments to contribute any feedback to help or improve this site.
