Spot on tutorial! Keep it up! Learned a lot! What film simulation do you use? Classic chrome? Thanks

Hey Xing, tip for you, you don't have to constantly hold compensation dial, you can put it to "C" position and this way you can compensate on the fly using your command wheel, it's much faster and more convenient.

Hello,

Nice tutorial vid, but 2 questions :):

Does fluorescent1 make a difference if you shoot in raw?
What metering do you use in backlit situations

[jeremydream]

it is very very helpful!!! it's time for making some notes!!!
Now the biggest problem is how to find the appropriate models.

[Anarchyxvx]

Do you have to totally blow out the bg when the sun is behind your model? Or does the XT2 just have a good dynamic range?

[zhonghuatan]

Are you using AF-C mode or AF-S mode when you’re creating movements? And where do you focus to ensure tack sharp images alongside the low speed bursting?

[Carmerafe]

Do you use nd filters? I notice you love shooting wide open. Or perhaps electronic shutter? Thanks

[mjonadab]

Thanks for share with us the tips. One question, could you please elaborate on the tip #5 ? I understood that the objective is to focus on the edge of the model but then you say that in the picture you are focusing on the grass frame ? That is part of the background, is not it?
