So tonight I did the test shots in a park. I do models and am happy with my D7000, F/1.8 35 and 50MM and a 70-200 F/2.8 Test shots - https://tinyurl.com/LakePlacidMMA 1. Tried the 70-200. Too slow being mechanical focus. Images 0 -449 . Great for models but not live action. 2. 50mm - better...

I will be taking images of MMA fighters during 'golden hour' I have a D7000 which is just fine for models. So I see that it comes down to me choosing from the smaller sensor area versus 3D tracking. Anyone with experience with this have any suggestions?

I have strobes at 4 & 8 o'clock and was wondering the simple fix to reflect light back to remove the shadows. Both strobes are on the same power settings. Sample image

I have Savage backgrounds with twin SK400 strobes at 4&8 o'clock positions. I did a session with a model on Sunday and I noticed I was not getting the same color black that I got for the blonde model. Same lens, camera, and at F/2.8. Anyone see any other differences that could explain why when...

I did these images and was not happy with the results so the person wants a rematch https://www.flickr.com/photos/lautermilch/albums/72177720313128388/ The ranch has 200 acres and she wants to do it again on a clear day in an open field. I will set up a location for the flashes next to a tree...

I do portraits and have been asking to photograph bartenders in a local 'dive' bar so I am looking to do some 'hard' style images. Any presets or actions I can get for doing images like this person is doing - https://www.flickr.com/photos/digitalgrace/

For those that do models. This has been my overall experience with TFP. https://deanlautermilch.com/the-games-that-tfp-models-play/

Lighting classes twice a month on Saturday mornings. I really wish I could do one more but I moved too far away. Some short videos of some of the classes. Those were good times that I miss.

Yes, that got it, thanks. I was compensating for using a shorter 'model'. I moved everything to where it would be if shooting a real person with my strobes. Attached is 'Tiger' who came from a Salvation Army store and is still waiting to be washed. I also took a shot of the headband light I got...

I tried it out just now and it worked well but one thing. The focus was fine in the dark with the 100LM light but I am seeing shadows. I have my two strobes at 4&8 o'clock and did not get shadows on white. On these test images I am seeing the shadows of the bar stool that the two dolls are...

I don't want to go down the AF assist route. In experimenting with my D7000 and all the focus mode combos I found AF-A/3D got the best results. I do newbie models often and most of them can't stand still but rather act like they had too much caffeine. So the solution is to being list. I just got...

I've been playing with it for an hour and see the answer is using my settings for sharp images which is AF-C / 3D (cannot use focus assist) I have some extra stands that have a click for reflector boards so getting a portable light source that would be enough for focusing and have the...

I've been asked to do portraits at a goth gathering. I visit the location and found there will be be any lights. It will be the corner of the back yard against a fence. For gear, I will have a D7000, 35 & 50mm F/1.8 and twin Godox speedlights TT600s on stands. I've never used the focus assist...

I always shoot in RAW. I went up the scale on my 35mm and found that the fine tune number is now three. Click twice on the image to see the sharpness -

Thanks, I did find that with NX studio if I past the info into Wordpad I get the number I was using. I wanted to see the settings on this shoot that I did a few years ago. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lautermilch/albums/72157716338646911 I would say they are the sharpest that I have done. I...

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...
