Expertise

I'm a professional photographer and I can answer questions questions relating to SLRs (35mm or DSLRs) and general photographic technique. I'll be happy to share my knowledge with anybody who's looking to learn or is just plain confused about something. Questions about studio lighting, studio flashes, and flashguns are also welcome. Questions about theory (e.g. colour theory, guidelines behind composition, depth of field, etc.) are welcome as well. Digital photography also involves some amount of post-processing using an image editing application such as Adobe Photoshop; a program that I am proficient with. I cannot answer typical generic questions, viz. "Which is the best camera?," as the short and sweet answer to questions such as those is "There is no such thing." Furthermore, there is a lot of literature available on the web pertaining to the same. Also, please do not ask me for camera recommendations based on a budget.

Experience in the area

I have been passionately taking photographs since I was 13 years old. In totality, I've been involved in photography in one way or another for over a decade. I've used various cameras (and lighting equipment) over the years, including but not limited to Minolta/Konica Minolta, Nikon, Canon, and Mamiya.

Education/Credentials

High school degree.

Hi Liviu I really can't speculate about why other photographers would choose to use specific f-numbers without looking at the images in question. What I can tell you is that regardless of lens speed

2011-11-23 Changing batteries:

Hi Harshal. AAA batteries are smaller (lengthwise and breadthwise) than AAs. I'm a little amazed that they fit into the camera, and even more amazed that the camera worked fine for four years! Maybe

2011-10-27 conversion of large negatives to jpeg:

Hi Gary If you only intend to make 4x6 or 8x10 prints from your scans, then I'm sure the flatbed you currently own won't be bad, per se. For larger prints and scanning 120 or 220 film, you'll need (or
