Matt Needham replied to Scimitar's discussion 'Shutter speed.'

"...wouldn't intensity equal how much light is flowing rather than aperture?" It is true that you can adjust light intensity many ways outside the camera. You could also control it via ND filters, pol filters, etc... on…

Matt Needham replied to Scimitar's discussion 'Shutter speed.'

"The filling a bucket example is good, but you left out the size of the bucket." That's ISO. My point is that learning manual exposure is pretty easy. I learned it when I was 12. Thankfully I…

Matt Needham replied to Chava Lind's discussion 'Pricing' in the group Beginners and Newbies

"My profit margin for example on a $1250 wedding after spending time editing, gas, photo processing was about $1150.00." What about camera and gear costs? Software? Office/workspace rent? Phone and electricity…

Matt Needham replied to Scimitar's discussion 'Shutter speed.'

I agree, and since the basics of exposure are about as complicated as cooking a frozen pizza there is little excuse not to go ahead and figure it out. Cooking a frozen pizza = time (how long in oven) x intensity (how hot the…

Matt Needham replied to AUDACIOUS IMAGES's discussion 'Need advice please comment.Thanks'

You can google "photography glossary" for lots of lists of photographic terms and their meanings. How the 3D world looks converted to a 2D photo is mostly controlled by perspective. Perspective is controlled by where the…

Matt Needham replied to Timothy Fee's discussion 'Outdoor Lighting HELP!' in the group Beginners and Newbies

It looks over exposed to me. Take test shots. Learn to read the histogram (it's easy, and there are lots of articles). It will help you assess your test shots. From there you can adjust the exposure compensation. …

Matt Needham replied to MissyT's discussion 'online photo downloads'

I think it's important to understand the difference between DPI (or PPI) and resolution. In Adobe Photoshop just switching PPI to 72 doesn't change the resolution. You still have to make sure the image is being resampled, and…

At 5:21am on May 11, 2009, Jason Livingstone said…: Hey Matt, Thanx for all the comments on my pics, It helps me a lot to see what you see.

At 1:54am on May 3, 2009, Jason Livingstone said…: Hey Matt, Please check out my wedding album and throw me some harsh crit on how and what I should have done. Especialy those dark ones around the pool. I really struggled with the constant changing of distance to the subject and setting the flash at the proper compensation. So some of the image is super bright and some super dark. Holy shit, what a nightmare dude.

At 9:47am on April 15, 2009, Sarahi said…: Matt thanks a lot for taking your time to explain me all that information about flash. i am going to read it everything over and over until i get it, although i know it is going to be very tough to get it.

At 4:12pm on April 14, 2009, Sarahi said…: hi, Matt i appreciate your help in flash discussions. but can you please answer to a couple more questions i have about it... like which are the guide numbers and how can i determine the camera shooter speed?.... thanks
