- \ No newline at end of file + ++ My photos come from either my iPhone 13 Pro, which takes pretty bad pictures, or my Canon 6D MK II, which is a full-frame DSLR. + For my DSLR, I almost always use my 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. Rarely, I instead use a 70-300mm telephoto zoom. Some of my photos will + have metadata attached if you're curious about the settings I use. In good light, I shoot from around 1/2000, 100iso, f/1.8, ranging to + 1/500, 400iso, f/6. In dark conditions, I shoot at around 1/200, 2000iso, f/1.8. Of course, a wide open aperture induces some significant + gaussian blurring, so that is a stylistic element that I sometimes want and sometimes don't. It does mean that I can minimize grain and motion blur. + The other thing that comes up is focal plane issues. Sometimes the plane of my subject does not exactly match the plane of focus, in which case + I will be forced to step down the aperture. I try not to go below f/8 if I can help it, because the image becomes less clear. + You may notice a vignette in some of pictures. This is usually not intentional--my lens just tends to do that. I'm too lazy to fix it in post. + On the note of post-processing, I don't do it much. Sometimes I retouch shadows and highlights, but I try to stay away from colour, with the notable + exception of my B&W work. +
++ There's no photos here because I haven't figured out how I want to handle serving images. +
