always lighting... lighting is what makes photography a giant pita unless you don't care. Lighting is the biggest bitch in real estate too... these dark houses are a nightmare...good thing I have lights. sometimes that doesn't even help and you just have to get over it and accept it for what it is.

Th photographer has to know how to manipulate the light and capture it.

yup...which is alot easier to do if you are always in same spot and nothing changes...but when lighting changes room to room and you have to setup every room... it's like ffs shoot me in the face...lol

Exactly. This is why learning on Manual is absolutely important. I've never messed with Aperature Priority, Shutter Priority, or the other modes.

You can make the light how you want if you know how f stop, shutter speed, and ISO effect one another.

Great pic! the shifter being in first and the wheel slightly turned makes me want to turn my head while looking at it for some reason though. lol

If you shoot real estate photographs then there is a device you should check into called CamRanger it's about $300 and it connects to your camera. It allows you to pre-program camera settings and store them so that when you take a photo it will take a shot using each setting by clicking the shutter once. It also allows for settings that the camera naturally doesn't have, like HDR (not actually sure if it does HDR photos but it's a feature not all cameras have) and things of that sort. It will also fire remotely using your phone and give you a live view of what your lens is seeing (even if the camera does not have an LCD display that provides live viewing). You can store up to 11 pre-programed settings I believe and if you only have 5 pre-programed, it will take 5 photos with a single click. And when I say pre-programed settings, I don't mean just shutter speed like bracket exposure, I'm talking shutter speed, ISO, aperture, etc...

Was messing around the other day. 1/80, f4.0, 640ISO, manual mode and no tripod. I love to use organic and natural lighting, fits my style and what story or small detail I want to focus on.

Question for you photo experts.

What app or process are you all using to get the RAW picture files into an image file that I can view and open on my PC? I am sure this is a dumb question but I have never dealt in the photograpy....

I use Lightroom and Photoshop, though I convert the RAW files(.NEF for Nikon) into .DNG first mainly because my version of Adobe RAW doesn't support the D7200's .NEF files, and also because .DNG's take up less space.

Lightroom for 95% of my work. 5% p-chop.

RAW and DNG are pretty much the same thing. I also convert to DNG.

Adobe Lightroom(that's what I use), but there is also Photoshop, Nikon software, Canon software, etc.
Thanks!

Good to know on the .DNG as I had no clue:thumbsup:
