Why This Guide

Truth be told, Nikon D40 is an outdated camera. But it is a camera that I have and love.

As a recreational photographer, I take photos of people 80% of the time. I guess I could call it (environmental) portrait, candid portrait or people photography.  In doing so, I've learned a few tricks to nail the exposure in people photography, both with available light and with flash. I tried to memorialize my trial and error in here. This is purely for personal consumption and not for commercial purpose.
