Bunnies and babies


In one of my Yahoo groups we are having a study group reading the book "Understanding Exposure" so I have been playing with my studio lighting and camera settings. When I set the camera for the "perfect exposure" according to the light meter the photo was too dark. The shutter speed was 1/8 sec but when I changed it to 1/2 sec the photo was bright like I wanted it. The final settings were ISO 100, f 9.5 and 1/2 sec shutter speed.

  1. That looks FABULOUS! The lighting is just right. You asked about my photo with the girl on the pansies . . . yes i did clone that one little flower on her elbow. Can't wait to see what you do with your chromakey stuff!

  2. Nice exposure. Too bad kiddos don't sit still enough for a 1/2 second exposure!

  4. It looks really good. I have the same thing happen. Maybe it is not understanding that you want the backdrop blew out. lol
