If you see any of Dean Capture's latest work, last 5 years, all shot with LEDs and high iso. I have a D2X in the garage... lol. my fav Nikon lens is the 200mm 2.0. Unbelievably beautiful and clear.

I shot 135 for almost 35 years, Nikon. 99% studio. I do have a few simple guides for natural light outside.  If I remember @100 asa, 400th, F8-F11. The Nikon D800. I started digital work 07/2001 ...

JIm, I'm not sure if I understand what's going on.... are these reproductions of an artwork?  Or is this digital artwork?  BM

I will look into that thanks....
