So when you are in the range of f/2.8 to f/16. what is the typical shutter speed that couples with that aperture?
I know it is going to depend a little on the lighting conditions, but generally speaking.
And what about ISO?

Same image, bigger size and including EXIF data! The programm I use to shrink my images removed the EXIF data, don't blame Lightroom for that.

no problem, i just noticed that the data was not there

When photographing using a flash, I always chosse the highest flash sync. time, which is 1/250s for my camera. This makes shooting free hand no problem.

And what about ISO?

ISO 100. There is no need for higher ISO when you're photographing with a powerful flash.

It's 250 on mine as well. I will have to try that out.


Cool man. Thank you. That is a ton of info. It is going to be fun practicing some more.

I am going to get the SB-800 as well.

I sadly am not shooting in RAW because of my lack of ability to process photos after the fact. I guess I should read up on that.

Other then post photo editing what is the benefit to shooting in NEF raw or fine?
I am only shooting JPEG fine.

And that picture you posted, what shutter speed?

There's not a huge benefit to shooting RAW. RAW files simply allows you to edit the image to your liking without losing much detail. JPG are compressed within camera. If Hendrik were to say give you the settings he used for that particularly shot, it will do you no good. Shutter speed, ISO, and aperture varies depending on lighting. Understanding how to use them is the only way to improve your photography. So, buying new equipment will not help much, unless you know how to use them properly.

get yourself a exif viewer(free-ware). this lets you see the settings used for pictures... unless removed.

I am getting the SB-800 for my indoor/outdoor photography of people. Not macro.

And I understand that his settings would not work because of the lighting conditions, I was merely asking for a ball park so I would know a good range to be in when I tested it out.

Is there somewhere online to get a good version of Photoshop?
I found one version but it was $600 bucks or there about.

 

[Talkenlate04]

Some shots before bed.

Yeh Photoshop can be quite expensive.
I got CS2 and it's amazing.
It will cost a bit but it's worth it.

 

[Talkenlate04]

Is CS2 a version of photo shop or a different program?

 

[fartkowski]

Yeh it's photoshop CS2.
I believe they came out with a CS3 version, but the CS2 really good.

The quality is looking alot better. I think we should have just kept our mouth shut.

Photo #1 is awesome.
Great job & keep it up!
:clap:

I agree with that! Much better quality!

Here are the values I shot at last night for the first picture. I had no idea messing with the flash would have such a great effect. Before if I shot at any F stop below about 16 I would get very over exposed photos, but this seems to do well. I still need to work on getting things in better focus. I think if I spend more time composing my photos I'll get there eventually.
I do have another question, when I lower the out put of the camera body flash, does it in turn lower the out put for the two separate flashes that are firing on the same channel? I guess I am trying to better understand what happens.
