I resurrected my Nikon 35mm film camera to tinker a bit with film and have noticed that on the light meter to the right in the viewfinder sometimes the meter will center on the middle light (optimum) and at other times show an ideal light setting (center) but the high and low exposure light also comes on. Does this mean the light is either high or low but still usable? I have used the aperture and film speed settings to compensate but still find these multiple settings appearing. Any ideas about what to do?

I would like to tinker a bit with forced perspective photography which as most of you know creates an optical illusion.

The tutorials i have watched suggest a long depth of field (at least a 22) and a wide angle setting of approximately 35mm or less.

When I have tried this, I notice the red-dot focal points on my camera (Canon EOS t5i) focus on the object in the very front and leave the background and everything in it blurred. If I focus on the object further in the frame, the front is obscured. Any suggestions? If this method is going to produce results, everything has to be in focus.

Thanks!

I got snooping around the “Brush” properties premises and found them lurking out under “Effects.” They are now in use! Amazing what a 70 year old man can learn. I thank you again for your response. Time now to go play with some portraits!

Excellent, well explained tutorial and thank you for your assistance; I appreciate it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. 😬

Again, thank you anyway!

I have just purchased and installed Lightroom Brushes Presets (Kelvin Designs) on my PC. When I open LRClassic, open an image, I can’t find access to the brushes panel on the right side of the Develop Module anywhere? Suggestions/directions as to how to get to them?

Thanks!

No thanks, but thanks for your response.

Have a good day and take care!

If you have this camera, enjoy it. I hate it. Confusing graphics, little information in the print manual (I know there’s an online version), I can’t get it out of live view; it’s totally not for me. I’m going to stick with my t5i and enjoy it. Thanks for your response, I appreciate it.

Thanks for all the information I appreciate it. I’ll just stick with my Canon t5i!

Take care!

Thanks I appreciate your input; I guess it’s ironic to buy and then read reviews!

Happy shooting! Take care!
Mike

It’s gone!

Cheap made, lightweight crap that in my opinion will never stand up in the long run to earlier, weightier cameras. 18-45mm lens is a joke. My opinion only!

My latest portrait- opinions?

We’ve done it!

We’ve bucked a few hay bales before . . I caught a few shirtless images too lol
