The moon over Carolina was at 11 high at 4pm today got great shoots.I only shoot in manual mode,old film guy got the 7200 cause I could use my great old Nikon lens plus get to view all pics. now to my problem when I was shooting in manual after I set my shutter speed my meter kept changing if I were in auto mode,and one have any answers. Thanks and as always I close with God bless


I would guess you still had Auto ISO set. I would set the d7200 to ISO100 for what you are doing in the daylight.

It does not go into the hole as smoothly as the sd card but I have never made the mistake of not pushing it in all of the way. It sticks out far enough to be very noticeable if it isn't in all of the way. Actually, I don't even notice it being hard to get into the hole anymore either.

Nice shots! I have seen a lot too here in Tx.
First one is a male Red bellied woodpecker. The male has red on the top of head touching the beak, females have red on neck but not of top.
2nd photo, don't know, strange, looks like dark on head would match the red on a Red bellied male but speckles on its breast??
3rd photo, yes.

I usually search here when I want to identify a bird.

You need a technician. Call a service center and explain your situation and hopefully they can help. I supported a large company and routinely had to reset someone's forgotten password. You can't just read the password because it is encrypted. A Linux boot CD with a password blanker app installed is required. The last OS password I reset was on an XP.

Ah! I didn't think the D7200 was in that list. So wonder why the poster above couldn't make it work?


RE: AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
I wonder if anyone suggested that the op does a firmware update on his d7100? It is suppose to turn on/off from the camera menu.

Thank you.

They were all taken over a 10 minute period around 10 AM facing either east or west.

I just checked with RawDigger and the only images where the green channel approaches within 1 stop of the limit are the ones with white or yellow flowers. All of the others are well to the left, about 3 stops from the 16,000 level. There should have been no blown pixels in the first image. I will check later.

I did not touch the saturation or hue in PP. The WB was set to 5209 (Daylight) and the hue to 0.2 in Capture One.

Well, nice photos. What I was talking about was some of the green color shades being blown, something I have been studying, it's similar to blown exposure except it is the color shades that flatten out to the same color. It's no biggie though and it's pixel peeping. It is what the author intends for it to look like that's important too.

Are you telling me that you don't think the top of those cheeks under his glasses and above his eyebrows are not blown out? How can you not see this? They most certainly are and there is no detail there. The flesh is way overexposed, especially in this blowup that you posted here. I'm sorry, but the OP is not giving us the whole story here. There is absolutely no way that he can be using spot metering and a -1 ⅓ underexposure and get this overblown image. If those two things are all he did for the exposure, then this camera needs to be sent to the factory for recal. I've never seen an underexposure put this amount of light onto an image, unless someone turned on a bright spot light a nanosecond before he pressed the shutter or he had his ISO cranked up to 10000.

And now you are blaming the op, accusing him of not being truthful to try to prove yourself right. That's pretty low in my book. I Know that only a few pixels are blown and that we are looking at a reduced size compressed jpg. I also know how to examine pixel rgb to determine if they are actually blown. I looked, they're not. I just completed a refresher course in color correction. I know what I'm talking about but you sure don't.

Very nice. I noticed you are shooting at sunlit leaves into a dark background with the sun at your back. Too bad a snake or something didn't slither out and stick its tongue out at you. I also noticed many green pixels are blown in the first photo, probably done in pp since the blue is missing in the mix.... I didn't check the rest. Did you lower the blue saturation in pp or was it because of your camera setting? It still looks good as a low key photo but loss of color shades means loss of detail.

Go back and look at the face again. It is overexposed. The blacks in the clothes are washed out. This is not a good image. If the shooter had used spot metering on the face with no adjustments, then the skin would look like real skin and not reddened over blown with the cheeks blown out. As I mentioned earlier, this is not something I would show as a final image.


Tomcat:
Personally I think it would look better at EV -1 2/3 instead of EV +0. The op was not demonstrating what a great photo he could take. It may be oversaturated but not overexposed or blown out. The photo was only a postage stamped sized compressed jpg of the original too so of course a lot of color information was lost which would account for a couple of pixels with the red maxed at 255 .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone:
Tomcat has explained to us that the photo is overexposed and if the op would have used spot metering(the op used spot metering) and had not adjusted EC -1 1/3(If the op had not lowered lowered the exposure) then the photo would not have been saturated and the blacks would not have been washed out. http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/tpr?p=7678607&t=456684

Can anyone else tell me what happens to the darker parts of a photo when you lower your exposure?
1. The photo gets darker
2. The photo gets lighter
....

Even the lightest areas are not blown out (255 255 255). Imagine what it would look like if he hadn't lowered exposure -1 1/3?

It is supposed to be an example of where EC is needed. I shot manual, spot metered, ETTL with an EC of -1 1/3.

I thought it was a good example with no blown out areas. It should have helped others understand that spot metering on a predominantly black photo would overexpose the brighter areas just as a photo with a dark subject and light background could be underexposed and this is why using EC is sometimes necessary as a fine adjustment for exposure. I don't have a lot of experience with a flash or studio setups so am I understanding correctly that you lowered the flash output by -1 1/3?

Probably not by your standards JIm Bob, but "You need to learn how to use a camera before you give advice!" seems pretty rude to me and likely many others on forum, especially when aimed at an experienced photographer and a regular and respected member of the forum without provocation.


Hey Dufus! I wrote it. Don't blame Jim Bob! Anyone who writes false information as a positive fact without giving any reasoning for it except that we should all believe them without question because they're a pro is not worthy of a polite response but that is just my opinion.
