If the lighting is the same; let's say 6 images then use a grey card or color checker in a test scene image. If the lighting or over all changes repeat. There are several grey cards out there or the color checker card from X rite. They are small enough to carry. AWB like the others says guesses...

These were done 26Mar and 27 Mar 2017. The first one with using Flashpoint Zooms older ones mounted in Large OctoBox Godox and the other other in an umbrella. The model (Granddaughter) started to dance during the shoot so the Flash Points Zooms did not recharge fast enough even though both ½...

Saturday was our photo walk for those taking our club Basic DSLR class. Its a small tour about 2 hours depending the size of the group to put into practice what they learned. One of things we teach is how to use the light meter in your camera and when do you need it. Usually average will...

I wish I could get as close as Blacktop or Grandpaw with their birds; this is close I can get to the Jay using a 300MM AIS ED F/4.5 lens.

Its clear today but this one is from earlier in the week. Used Affinity to process.

Not quite just coming in.

Here are few from Erie PA out by my back porch feeder. Used my new Nikon 200-500 with a BK-45 gimbal. Had to open the patio door and closed off the rest of the house as its currently 22ºF. Lou Cioccio

Okay just received my Nikon 200-500 lens. I too debated so I hope I don't get buyers remorse :). Any way took it yesterday day while the wife and granddaughter made a snowman. Just AF on no VC as I am usually old school. The Snow man was shot at 1/500s f/7.1 ISO1000 270mm hand held. Now the...

I have been using alternatives to Photoshop and Elements this past year. Here is scanned 120 neg from about 1972 and the screen shot. I can use most NOT ALL plugins Topaz and NIK work well with Affinity by Serif. Price wise compared to Elements is competitive. You can see the layers and mask is...

Okay here is the setup of the Yongnuo receiver, Flashpoint Zoom Flash and umbrella. I showed two feet to see the side that had the ¼ x 20 thread. Since it was not a paid job I still would have time to change from TTL to Manual Power Mode. Just remember TTL can be fooled 10% of the time if the...

Granddaughter getting ready for a Holiday Dance recital. Used two umbrellas with Flashpoint Zoom in ttl mode each has a Yonguno YN-622N's. I usually set them in manual mode and use a light/flash meter for exposure. I mounted the flash horizontal with the sensor facing the subject. I had seen a...

What I used to do when I developed my own with store bough film was while manually rewind the film I would put my ear to the back of the camera to listen for the "scraping" sound of the leader listening to when it was near the canister. Yes the pre-loaded cartridges were easier to open when I...

Mark, When I bought my SLR's (the analog type) many years ago for people or group my go to lens was a 28mm because the 50mm I would need to move a wall in the living room or dining room and my carpentry skill are not that great :rolleyes:. So like the others said an 18mm would be the right one...

Watch out for distractions. I used an umbrella on light stand high at 45º down. SB700 flash with a remote switch in manual mode. I did cheat I used a Sekonic Flash meter for exposure but you could chimp then set the exposure (aperture/shutter/ISO) I used a used lens an 18-70mm from KEH at 70mm...

Very nice. I also dusted off the Bronica ETRs and used some expired really expired B&W film. This one is with a Flashpoint Zoom in manual mode at ½ power using Flashpoint transmitter on the speed grip that has a hot shoe and just a WAG as I knew the power of the flash and probably F/8 or 5.6...

Here are a few from the Photowalk 2016 that I led in Erie PA. Nikon FM lens 28mm F/3.5mm Used the meter inside camera. Lou Cioccio

Here are 3 from today high ISO but did run Macphun Noise but I could have never done this with my previous camera with a similar zoom lens. This is in the belly of the Spanish Tall Ship that is in Erie; its huge compared to our Brig the Niagara. Lou Cioccio
