Agree with Don but here is the EXIF info of the jpeg evidentially not stripped. I would say a manual lens (non-cpu) was used they all have a similar angle so maybe a green screen and then added the background. Not sure if some one could jump and dial the phone so it may have been photoshopped...

This should help in understanding the concept of shutter speed,aperture and iso speed. Ciao, ​Lou Cioccio

This one is for "bootstrap" who past away a year or so. He could really take some awesome images usually of fences at the beach near his home in Jupiter Florida. This one is on Lake Erie at Presque Isle State Park.

I have the Sekonic L358 and its really worth it. If you can catch Joe Brady on the web he really and I mean really explains how to use this meter outside, inside and using a flash and ambient light. Here is an example that I did outside speed light on light stand with the plastic clip on...

Here are two indoors ISO 1600 f/9 at 1/60 Flash at manual 1/2 power with wide angle diffuser pointed at ceiling (eggshell white) with Sekonic I got 30% flash. Now the second one taken 2 hours later sun much lower and dimmer BUT I did not change anything more for the example of shooting with...

You can also use the L358 to do ambient plus flash out doors. It will give a percentage of flash. If you have a table next to a window that has some good sunlight (in Erie its bright and sunny) put the L358 in flash mode like the previous from fred. Set your flash in manual mode with the...

Mark this on your calendar Tall Ships Erie 5 September 2013 I think there is another member from Fredonia, NY as Slippery Rock is not that far. And also in June for the Thurston Hot Air Balloon Classic in Meadville, PA. Here is one from 2010 taken with an E30 Olympus. This from the South...

Dave, Did you look in settings? I selected apply filter to layer and after clicking apply the filtered effect to a separate layer. It does rename the layer as:Intensity (CEP4) Not sure if that helps.

Do you have an example? The DOF is very shallow when the lens is wide open. What helps is a DOF app if you have a smart fone or iPad like. That helps. Here is one from today but with flash at 1/250 @ 5.6. You have to remember the lens is 1.5 x 50 which is a 75 MM FOV and rule of thumb is 1/75...

Trying to take an Easter Portrait used 1 -umbrella and 1 -soft box with egg crate, trig master 2, 1 -Olympus FL50 in manual mode 1/4 power and the soft box with a Calumet Genesis Flash at 1/2 power. Used Topaz Ciao, Lou Cioccio

Archived Webinars These are excellent. I shoot manual and I use a Sekonic meter and trust the meter. This one is 30% Flash to ambient using the Sekonic. Ciao, Lou Cioccio

Long story short I have been riding my stationary bike for two years (1 hour = 12miles) and finally catching up on my podcasts and webinars. Anyway I have a Sekonic L358 I used it to get my light ratios with my strobes. I also used it out doors but never using a feature I never knew I had.It...

After I got the understanding of how slow works on the Nikon with this particular flash here are two examples one is in Aperture Priority with rear and slow with matrix metering and the other is usually how I do it on my Olympus E30 although it is in manual exposure spot metering with just rear...

If you look further down in the next post I picked up a flash from Calumet the only down side is that it does not have High Speed Sync (FP) but has a high sync speed but I am not sure if my Trigmasters can go that high. I have had success indoors with the Olympus CLS (similar to Nikons) as the...

From the old school never; I use doorways, trees, anything stationary, tripods, monopods even a 1/4 x 20 bolt and washer welded to the slot of the bolt tied with a string and looped to the toe of my shoe (Boy Scout way). Pay attention to shutter speed ( 1/focal length) is usually the slowest...

Recently I upgraded to D7000 from an Olympus E1 and was able to use the Olympus FL50 flash in auto and manual mode. I do have 5 FL50's (3 -r wireless similar to Nikons CLS and 2- non wireless FL50's but have also optical slave modes). Yes I do use them in the strobist way with Aputure triggers...

Here is my take: Manual Mode and no vibration use common sense and proven practices in taking pictures with your camera and you will be amazed. Now why? You ask. A lot of "older" camera users came from cameras that had no auto functions; all they had was a primitive light meter an example a...

Here are 3 done outside using 1-flash and a light stand and the most important piece of equipment is flash/ambient light meter doesn't mater which brand but one that will read the ambient and the percentage of flash 30 to 40 % is my sweet spot. Once you figure what your flashes can do at let say...

If you are nailing the jpegs; good exposure and sharpness than thats okay. At our computer club I have been teaching (free) PSE from version 4 through 10 and basic DSLR and P&S. Generally they are the same attendees for both classes.I usually tell them not to go in the attitude I will...

Take a look here: Nikon Lens Compatibility It all depends. Here is an image (grand daughter) taken with a 43-86mm Nikkor Ai lens that I put on a D7000. Everything is manual. I cropped it but exif should be there. F/11 at 1/60 ISO 320 manual focus.
