[QUOTE="Fork, post: 172164, member: 10937"] I know this is going to sound like a snide remark, but I find this statement: quite interesting when it is accompanied in the same post as this one: Perhaps you need to read your manual and those internet guides again? ;) The settings depend entirely on the lighting in your location. Do you plan to do it by having your subject stand on something like a stool and then clone it out in Photoshop, or do you plan to make your subject jump and freeze the action with your shutter speed? Consider the effects of shutter speed and how it affects your photo in both these situations. If your subject is just standing on something, the shutter is not so crucial because you don't need to freeze any fast movement - your subject can just hold their pose. In this situation, you can concentrate more on your aperture and determine what kind of depth of field you like, then adjust your shutter accordingly. If, however, you want to do the jump option, shutter speed becomes the most important factor. You need to freeze your subject mid-jump which requires a fast shutter speed. You'll need to figure out the correct shutter to use and then adjust your aperture to compensate for the likely underexposure that will be caused by having a fast shutter speed. Once you've really learnt how important aperture and shutter speed are, you'll never need to ask what settings to use again. Good luck and be sure to show us your results! [/QUOTE]
