I moved recently and rented a very large two bedroom and am making the main living area a studio. I have a heavy duty stand on the way but reading reviews of backdrops on Amazon I see a lot of complaints. I am looking for a source for some 10x20 muslin backdrop that are made of quality...

I would like to use my D7000 is portrait mode with a flash connected. I move around and don't like any kind of tri-pod in my area as it attracts attention. I did buy a bracket online but will return it as it was flimsy. I have a D700, 80-200 F/2.8 and would like to do indoor bounce but that...

I finally got my Sekonic light meter working and have been dong tests with my Godex SK400. Due to Covid I have only been doing indoor group shoots and have been learning lighting. Normally I would be outside with a softbox at the proper time of day for images. Besides the strobe I have a...

I just wore out a D90 and replaced it with a D7000 that was barely used. I do models in 50mm and just want a soft fill flash. Examples of my D90 at work - https://www.flickr.com/photos/lautermilch/albums/72157689784540353 Anyway, I know there is an issue with settings with my D7000 and my...

I shoot models in 50mm and sometimes 35mm and was happy with my D90 but it died a week ago. I bought a D7000 from KEH and it came with only a few hundred on the shutter count. Spent this morning setting it up for my first model shoot today. I will get some 64GB SD cards on sale on the way to the...

I've attended some workshops at pro studios and enjoyed the quality of using strobe. I have a area in my apartment for shooting and have backdrops. I have a D90 and would like to get a basic strobe light to get started. Can anyone recommend a specific strobe to consider for close range.=?

I got a D90 last year and like it but still I am getting too many blurry shots. I am using a brand new 50mm AF-S lens. I am considering getting a better Nikon if that would help. What lower end models have a better focusing system that would make it worth while to get? I do newbie models and...

I bought a light kit as I had a lot of requests from models for indoor shots. One model stopped by and I was not happy with the results. Outdoor lighting is what I have been doing all my life and have a handle on that. I have a D90, 50mm AF-S G, and a YN565EX flash. I taped ribbons to this...

I shoot models and one area I go is Miami Beach - https://www.flickr.com/photos/lautermilch/albums I notice that when walking through crowds and around questionable people I also hold the camera as I did have one DSLR snatched from me a few years ago. So I take images for several hours and...

I do all my work in ACR and can never get the darker tones in grayscale that I would like to get. This is what I can do And would like to get the more 'stark' results such as in the images on this page -...

Third time with Irina. She wanted some leg and hand shots and agreed for other shots for my use. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lautermilch/albums/72157684247657746

Did a photoshoot on Miami Beach and got good results. 2nd time using D90 https://www.flickr.com/photos/lautermilch/albums/72157682386085925 I was asked to bring D90 to office for staff images and after taking about 300 found too many blurry. What would be the suggested AF settings for a...

Just got a Yongnuo YN-565EX along with a D90. It has been many years since I used a flash. I only use 50mm for models. I used the flash for the first time over the weekend and got good results but some images were totally blobs of white. Example here in Nikon RAW of three images where flash...

Julie on Miami Beach.

Would like a D90 in good condition.
