No...covering your face may be an expression of who you are as well. Sia comes to mind. I think you may be mistaken in saying " Anything covering the face makes it a fashion shot " No, the scarf ...

That is just one way. There are other options that also work well and just as valid an approach Doesn't have to be.  Depends

In relation to higher DR bodies he's certainly right as the 6DII is close to the 6D of old....and he references PDR not DR. He's also speaking to exposure latitude and not necessarily DR with his ...

That's really not an indication of bad DR at base ISO... especially vs the 6D.  More a simple indication of S/N and ISO sensitivity performance under that specific shooting instance and PP workflow.

I was referring to the "light from above" effect that left the lower body in shadow.  A quick glance made me wonder what type of light setup you used.  I see how you did it now.  Cool

Actually...a lot of masking tools now that make the process very quick and simple. Pros and cons. I see it now.  The processing style made me think some obvious artifical light (looked harsh in ...

Yes...I have both. But honestly, there are many many things that you can do in Photoshop that are not easy, nor convenient, and sometimes impossible to do in Lightroom, IMO. Even with layers in ...

Not when done well from start to finish Not when well processed in post Looks much better, IMO, than with natural light only...though the limits of Lightroom show

Not at this time...and unlikely to change to help prevent SPAM issues

Which is fill flash Different than the example here, yes And a much better look than the natural light only look seen in the above example, IMO If you want to go that far. In this case, simple on ...

I've found LR just to limited for that reason. You get night and day better results using layers in Photoshop, IMO. Only adjust those parts that need it

But the blur (likely related to focus not motion) is not uniform across the whole frame Not not needed in this case as the issue is with the inconsistencies across the frame. And the setup may not ...

Just didn't work well at all in this one case.  Might have worked way better doing it locally with adjustment layers rather than a more global (I think that's what I'm seeing) adjustment as seen ...

The AF-Assist light doesn't works with certain specific settings by design.  Have you looked at those on page 41 of the manual?

You can link to it off site but not directly embed it.

In this case that would mean the center of the shot would be nearly as blurred as the corner and it is not. So we can rule out motion blur Not required if the shot was supported (tripod or such). ...

Looks like you may have a de-centered element in the lens.  Check the opposite corner and see if it's also bad but in the other direction (may only be able to tell by manually focusing forward and ...

One example would be if system memory is limited to 4GB (for what ever reason).  The hardware is still capable of running a 64-bit OS but the 32-bit version of the OS will generally run faster.  I ...
