Any threads (or websites) of images with setups detailed?

[wonderer]

Hi everyone

Does anyone know of any threads here or other websites which have images posted (preferably from other members) with their setups, lighting and camera settings detailed? Predominantly location and outdoor setups. I found a thread a while ago but for the life of me I cant remember where it was.

I really find these types of thread useful for getting ballpark settings for various scenarios and then tweaking things to get them exactly right. It is always nice as well to see these great shots and then seeing the exif data and realising that a large part of great images is really just about the correct combination of settings. Helps us amateurs feel a bit better. I have searched here but cannot seem to find dedicated threads for various location setups.

It's not, please believe me, it's an exercise in futility.
Lighting and composition along with a great narrative is what makes great images.

With 1 you've got a good image, 2 you've got great and all 3 gives you awesome. With none of them, you've got rubbish.

With the sharpest lenses, and the best camera, a perfectly focussed and perfectly exposed image of a dull subject will be a dull picture. Forget F stops and guide numbers, cooncentrate on learning the important stuff.

I agree with Phil, but if you still feel the need to look at camera settings, then you can access the exif info on flickr images providing that the user hasn't removed the info before posting (sometimes it gets stripped out by Lightroom or Photoshop when reducing the image size for the web). Click on the three dots at the bottom right hand side of the image toolbar, then 'view exif info'.
