Shooting Techniques Portrait Subjects
Light Level and ISO Sensitivity
Adjust lighting and ISO sensitivity appropriately.
After choosing both shutter speed and aperture manually,
you may need adjust lighting or ISO sensitivity.
These photos use soft, nat-
ural light instead of ash
or studio lighting. Out-
door lighting can be ne-
tuned by repositioning the
model or photographer
(above), indoor lighting by
raising or lowering blinds
(right).
Learning from Failure: Same Shot, Di erent Focus
With the D800/D800E, you will notice that photos seem to have
less depth of eld than pictures shot with other cameras under
the same conditions, and that focus consequently requires more
attention. As can be seen from the examples below, changing
the focus point even slightly can blur important details.
