A shot taken in an old house with Virginia. No afterwork and straight out the camera.

    Your exposure is always spot on with your shots. Are you by any chance using a light meter most of the time? Thanks.

    TXS, indeed I always measure the light with a seconic light meter. The camera is set to manual, so I can control all of it. The Seconic 758 light meter is loaded with a profile that reflects the dynamic range of my camera. This way I can tell if the exposure is within my dynamic range. Very handy.

    That is the work of a professional photographer and what all IWAC 's should work to learn before they start out.

    Thanks for your apt reply. When I saw your work with you using a Nikon D80, I knew by intuition that you are definitely using a light meter and I was luckily right. Thanks! I've learned a lot from this. bowdown.gif

    The lighting in this is great. Is this with a flash or just natural light?

    TXS, this is taken with a softbox and a diffuser screen in front. The power was set so that I have still influence from the natural light, The flash was merely to fill-out the more shaded spots on the face.

    You can see some effect of the flash in the shadow of the front pillar of the staircase.

    If I post it, please tell me how to make it better. My fragile ego can take it.

    Lighting is just SUPERB. Really beautiful.

    I might move her legs to the side a bit to lengthen her but, really, that's a way personal preference. If I could do this lighting, I wouldn't care what else happened.clap.gif
