However, I cannot find a cord or adapter to connect my D300 to it. I have been to Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc in an effort to do so.

I posted the question to the strobist group on flickr and someone suggested I check out this post. I do not have a portable DVD player (too small to watch movies for me), bu I will borrow one to check it out. <BR/><BR/>I will also blog about this on my website sometime in the next week or so. <BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Tim O'Brien<BR/>www.timobrienphotos.comOberazzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431527972383878460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20182596.post-85021907014445769462008-12-06T06:23:00.000-07:002008-12-06T06:23:00.000-07:00Just picked up the 8in Sony DVD player from Radio ...Just picked up the 8in Sony DVD player from Radio Shack yesterday. They had all the correct cords and took my D90 to the store and were very nice to let me open a new box and set it up. Make sure you have the screen set to standard rather than full for the proper aspect ratio. This is so much easier to take on location than tethering a laptop.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852051739097004992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20182596.post-62702846881350633492008-09-29T15:13:00.000-06:002008-09-29T15:13:00.000-06:00hey, I also using portable DVD player as "bigger" ...hey, I also using portable DVD player as "bigger" preview :D<BR/>Also... once I was shooting for about 3 meters above model and I need to show the photos to my assistant down there - I wish I had portable DVD player with a long video cable there...Ladislav Soukuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357251876356034784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20182596.post-39192823038444785222008-09-26T02:41:00.000-06:002008-09-26T02:41:00.000-06:00This is a great idea, and one I have an immediate ...This is a great idea, and one I have an immediate use for. But I have run into a problem with the 16:9 aspect ratio. The photos are stretched out. There are no controls I can find on the Canon 20D to change this, and the DVD's player(by LG)controls don't seem to effect the AV input. I have no problem with aspect when displaying images on a widescreen tv.<BR/><BR/>Is this an LG problem? Am I missing something? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Mitch Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670700891149096485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20182596.post-19060382470488478982008-08-12T20:58:00.000-06:002008-08-12T20:58:00.000-06:00Wow... an remarkably good idea.

It looks like the only flash I see is on your background light. I see you are using a long lense. Care to share your f stop/shutter speed/iso settings for that setup. <BR/>I love your work and have finally decided on what branch of photography interests me the most - the type of corporate work you are doing. Did you start off to do that type of work or did you fall into it? <BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Craig Collier<BR/>Memphis, TNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20182596.post-8878327083490186722007-12-28T10:16:00.000-07:002007-12-28T10:16:00.000-07:00Wonderful idea, David.
