It's a good thing he is chained!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Fearsome.

Excellent Rob and again liking the tonal qualities a lot.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian.

Very nice. I looked at the exif and notice you had a bit of exposure compensation set. Do you find that you need to do that frequently with the Quattros or with only some scenes? Every Nikon digital camera I've owned has underexposed light scenes and overexposed dark ones. I usually shoot manual, so it doesn't bother me often. The times I use A or S modes I find myself dialing in at least +0.7 exposure compensation.

I often change the EV values. I usually set the ISO for the day, then sit in Aperture mode, choosing an f-stop as befits the image. Thereafter it's just a case of adjusting the EV values as I see fit. The EV Comp wheel is perfectly placed on the Quattros. I hardly notice I'm adjusting it. Occasionally I select Manual mode, mainly on the DP3 for close-ups.

I remember it being different with film. Sure, the photographer needs to adjust exposures for a brightly lit beach scene or a sunny day in the winter, but not with seemingly every shot like I have to do with the dslr. Then again, maybe it's because I shoot so many product shots now with a solid white or black background and surface, which would naturally need some compensation.

Just as I work my Fujis then. It's not a joke, that's the way more or less all of us handle our cameras I suppose. But I set the ISO on the left wheel, set the aperture on the aperture ring on the lens and adjust the light on the right wheel on top. The procedure sits in the backbone as a gene. Nostalgic eh?

Superbly quirky - I like it.

Thanks. I think it is stuffed with flower seeds. He should be looking very gay (in a happy way) about now.
