Expertise

I can answer questions questions relating to SLRs (35mm or DSLRs) and general photographic technique. I have good knowledge and understanding of photographic principles (film or digital) and lighting. 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.

Experience in the area

I'm a professional commercial photographer and 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 Gerald. Your autofocus lenses should work with a modern DSLR. How old are the lenses you have? If they were made within the last 15 years, you shouldn't have any problem at all. In other words, any

Hi Gerald. What 35mm equipment do you have? Without knowing what it is, I can only guess. Is it autofocus equipment? What brand? Nikon? Canon? Minolta? Pentax? Nikon's F mount is the most backward

Hi Tim If you're using the pop up flash as your primary light source, it's going to create flat, unflattering light (as I'm sure you've seen). The only time you should use it is when you need fill

Hi Carl. The yellow glow you're talking about is most probably a white balance issue as you suspect. Street lamps (or indoor bulbs) are typically incandescent, meaning they are a 'yellower' source of
