Hi guys, as mentioned before I'm extremely new to not only DSLRs but photography in general. I'm still learning about ISO, exposures etc. So now I'm just using the setting file as provided by Ken Rockwell, he's using Portrait picture control for people and Vivid for landscapes & objects. I thought it would be great to get me started.
But on my D750, the portrait picture control seems to be like too bright, almost like over-exposed compared to Vivid with every other setttings unchanged. Is this common? What do you guys use to shoot people/portraits? Or probably I'm missing something? Settings from here (scroll down to Usage): http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d750.htm Sorry if this seems to silly a question. By the way, I'm letting go a Nikon 50mm 1.8G just in case anyone interested.  |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Mar 25 2015, 01:36 PM) Ken Rockwell has the tendency to exaggerate things. Its best not to follow his shooting style Thanks for the super valuable info bro! I am actually testing all modes and settings right now, but a bit like on reverse. That's just how I learn new things at my age now.  Most people start off using Program (P)> Shutter Speed (S)> Aperture (A) and eventually Manual (M) modes; as this will give you a rough picture of how each settings work and how they are related to one another. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what mode you use for your shooting so long as it gets you the result you want  But usually its best to learn about the basics so that you know what settings to use if needed. Just in case you are not familiar: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Feel free to ask if you have any more questions  I'm sure the sifus here will be more than willing to share their advices  It may all sound very complicated in the beginning, but after more shooting it can only get easier ~ |

My camera is underutilized. Last used during Hari Raya only, having difficulties to find time for this hobby.
