Hello,

I wa looking into buying the Understanding Exposure book you recommended however, I found several. Is there a particular one or author I need to get that is well written and one I can understand better.

THANKS!

My shoot went well. I feel comfortable shooting manual and raw now. I will be buying some lights soon. If you want to see what I shot Sat., go to David M. Bean Photography click on Galleries then models. Thanks, David

I do my first multi photographer studio shoot this Sat. (Sweet Tart) at Loft Studio. Tomorrow I will buy something similar to a Pocket Wizard except it is only $109. Transmitter and a separate receiver with a few channels. I am going to assume I will have to shoot manual which I have very little experience in. I am going to use my 18-200 and my 85 1.8, and shoot raw. I figure I will have to up the ISO to between 200 to 400 (outdoors I usually shoot 100) and at the focal length I will be at, I'm guessing 8 to 10 feet from the model, I should shoot at around F8ish. If we were shooting wildlife I'd feel totally comfortable. I really want some good shots with all those studio lights. Any suggestions or tips, until I can get more time to study and experience shooting manual?
Thanks,
David

Your portraits always look so great and I am still trying to get there. Are you shooting handheld or are you using a tripod most of the time??

ok, I am getting things together so I can do some high key photography. I was looking for some "thrifty white tileboard" like Zach Arias describes, but I am not finding it at any Home Depot. I saw in one of your set ups what appears to be the elusive white tileboard. Where did you find this mythical tileboard???

You offer such helpful comments on this site!

Very nice website you got there. Our style seems to match. Simple but very helpful. I just got serious about photography in 2008. Looking forward to all your sharings in the forum.

Nice to see someone posting who knows something about lighting.

Is "Manfrotto 3001BN tripod with 488RC2 head" still available for sale? Please let me know. I'm looking for one to buy for my D90. I'm ok with the price you quoted and I stay in Dallas area.
