My husband got me a camera for my birthday and he got a NIKON L120. It is a very basic camera but I cannot set anything manually. My pictures are always blurry and I take pictures of children. I really like how you explained the ISO specs.

Thanks

Thank You. Do you have any articles on lighting set ups for portrait photography?

Hi Nasim
Your descriptions are so great. The best I ever read.
I am learning how to take portraits photos, and I tried everything includes high key lightning, but I still get shadow behind the subject. Only way i don’t have a shadow is when my camera is in horizontal position, or when i turn the external flash bounds over the wall. But I am editing the photos and I need crispy clear photos for that and without the flash directly to the subject I won’t get crispy clear photo even if I use ISO 100. What else I need to do to have a crispy clear photo with no shadow behind the subject and be able to use the direct flash? I set the lights so many ways and nothing is working.
And I also would like to ask if it’s ok to have some shadow behind or if there is a shadow you know that amateur took the photo???
Thanky ou for your answer.

Nasim, I have a question about exposure settings and usage of flash.
If for any reason, I find that my live picture is a little dark then does it make sense to simply use a flash to brighten it or should I use my exposure settings (EV) to increase the brightness? Which setting makes it more practical to use? I am not able to figure out.
Also it would be great if you could throw some light on ‘Analysis of histograms’ by means of an article later on.
Thanks
