Jesse Lee Moore replied to ricky schonewald's discussion d lighting on or off

"On my D300, I always have D-Lighting on. D-Lighting is actually Nikon's term for adaptive dynamic range. It's a technology that recovers detail from the highlights and shadows in your images. Before I upgraded to a D300,…"

Jesse Lee Moore replied to AUDACIOUS IMAGES's discussion Improvement Suggestions

"I took a look at your other post and saw the third one in black and white...in my opinion, the color copy looks better, interacts more smoothly with the unique lighting. I'd get rid of the selective color in the second shot...it takes…"

Jesse Lee Moore commented on Kent Leckie's blog post Camera VS Lens Debate...

"Camera bodies become outdated much more quickly than lenses- I wouldn't say that one exceptional camera body is a better buy than one exceptional piece of glass, but rather I would be more willing to spend an amount of money on a good lens than…"

Batteries- Alkaline or Rechargeables for your speedlites, wireless flash triggers, shutter releases, etc?

Getting ready to purchase some AA's for two Yongnuo YN560II flashes and some AAA's for wireless triggers (x2) plus a remote shutter release. I know I would have to replace batteries a few times before the price equaled that of a charger and a couple sets of rechargeable batteries. Where have you all gone with your battery power? Curious to see what people in the industry are using.See More

Jesse Lee Moore replied to Jessi Martin's discussion Starting A Home Studio, Any Suggestions on Must Have Equipment

"With two lights, you might want a reflector. For studio work I'd suggest something larger- on the order of 60"x40". Make sure you have light stands of course, and wireless or wired triggers- I prefer wireless, and you can…"

Jesse Lee Moore replied to Jessi Martin's discussion Trading Up Lenses (Nikon User)

"I see you have some good lenses in your wishlist. The 35mm f/1.8 is an exceptional value. I also suggest a NIKON 55-200mm VR version in place of that comparable Tamron, which actually isn't. I've owned the Tamron and been…"

"I shoot Nikon, and as of right now, only have one flash unit. It's a Sunpak model, and is auto, or TTL only. I bought it a few years back for around $50. And though it doesn't have manual control, I was able to learn the…"

Jesse Lee Moore replied to Will Heason's discussion Feedback from Studio Portrait

"It looks pretty darn good to me as well. I'd suggest moving your key light back a bit, or lowering its output... If you're going for a low-key image, I'd try placing a flag horizontally below your flash firing from camera…"

Jesse Lee Moore replied to DSP Reddy's discussion Pictures out of focus

"Looks to me like your shutterspeed was a tad low. This little feathery guy is a little more "blurry" than the grass surrounding him- focus isn't your problem in this shot. Try increasing your aperture and shutterspeed for…"

Jesse Lee Moore replied to Jeffrey Moore's discussion Blast from the Past

"Honestly, I shoot film for the highlights. I've never had a 35mm frame that looked like an eyesore in this respect, even after being overexposed by a stop or more. With digital (this was more a problem with my older body, a Nikon…"
