I am looking for the variable name for the value of the lens fine tune so I can view the images on my PC instead of the camera LCD to make the decision of what is the best offset value for sharpness? Also for those familiar with this procedure what is the best EXIF reader for Windows that will...

A local business wanted some images but part of it was photographing glass which reflects. Any suggestions to prevent this as what happened here - all the images - https://www.flickr.com/photos/lautermilch/albums/72177720308702396

Ok, we are on the same page. My question is the power settings on the strobe.: let's take the 1/4 range. I know that is one quarter full power. But I also get as I turn the dial: 1/4 =0.3 1/4 +0.7 1/4 1/8 +0.3 1/8 1/16 +0.7 1/16 +.03 1/16 is the weakest setting on the strobe The question I had...

This person is showing the strobe and it has two scales or at least the newer model. This is near what I am wanting to know. I have the fractions like the strobe on the left as he is talking.

True, those are videos. I was looking for a video on the power setting scale for a strobe.

thanks I have the manual. The equation you posted does not translate to me. Anyone have a video for learning I can watch?

I have two Godex SK400s in a home studio. I keep them at 4 and 8 o'clock and like the results such as: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lautermilch/albums/72177720305052703 https://www.flickr.com/photos/lautermilch/albums/72177720298480362 Anyway, I see the slight increments on some numbers on the...

So it is long overdue this person got some replies. I hope I don't have to wait that long in my request I just posted.

As for the female portrait, I recommend a light fill flash. I shoot in 50/35mm and use a fill flash that gives just a 'kiss' of light and the adjustments are done in Adobe Camera Raw. In this outdoor set you can see where I got the fill flash right and some images were it was not strong enough -...

Hello, I am using a D7000 for models with the 35mm F/1.8 in most cases. I have tried all the AF-C, AF-A, and AF-S modes with the number of focus points. Can anyone tell me the focus most I was using with this RAW file - https://www.dropbox.com/s/jdy2vz5qpvx0k5u/DSC_0122.NEF?dl=0 I have tried...

I got his free sample and did one image in all. HDR Silver 1 is my favorite. Looking at the lettering on the propeller. The only change I did in any image was tweaking the exposure. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4ybohlmxqy7uyrm/AAC3YaHveTEkVrIuQejnwEfta?dl=0

I use ACR for greyscale and have bought presets for a base profile that I modify on the fly. These images caught my eye as I would love to have the settings. The one with the two woman on the bench is my favorite...

I have a D7000 with twin SK 400ii Strobes. I used 35 and 50MM 1.8 and am happy with results such as: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lautermilch/albums/72177720298480362 https://www.flickr.com/photos/lautermilch/albums/72177720295521242 Anyway, I got a model that wants to do a 'shuffle dance' in...

With 4 and 8 o'clock I got the lighting I wanted. Using muslin was a mistake. After an iron and a pro steamer it still had wrinkles. I hand ironed a 10x20 and gave up when I saw the results. A basic Savage paper collection being is being delivered tomorrow. I am getting some sand and a tarp as...

I was forced to move a few month ago and was given a choice of apartments and took a much larger one and wanted to create a decent home studio. My first question is on which wall should I place the backdrop? I bought a 10 foot wide frame and several 10x20 backdrops. My first goal is images...

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...
