The author of the blog post, who goes by the name Marie, discusses the importance of learning more about DSLR photography. Specifically, she delves into the entry-level kit DSLR, which is a good starting point for those just beginning to learn about photography. She also discusses the importance of understanding exposure and the different settings on a camera.
Marie then goes on to share an example of a photograph she took using her Nikon D3, Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G lens, and SB-800 flash. She processed the photo using Apple Aperture 3 for TIFF files and Adobe Photoshop, with additional enhancements using nik Dfine and nik Color Efex Pro plugins. The photograph was taken during a birthday dinner for Kara Murphy at a restaurant called The Corner in San Francisco.
Marie notes that her camera was having issues during the shoot and was only able to save TIFF files, which led to the loss of many images. She provides a link to the original photograph and notes that those who cannot view it should add her as a contact and send her a message to correct their status.
Overall, Marie’s post serves as a reminder for aspiring photographers to continually learn and improve their skills, especially when it comes to understanding the technical aspects of DSLR photography.
