Achieving correct portrait placement for no cropping later

Please explain this.
For people with dark skin, I raise the EC.
Why would increasing the ISO affect anything?

Because when you're shooting with strobes you shoot in manual?

Great read! Thanks Superfitz

No problem...pasting a link was easier than typing everything out.

Also, watch the kids skin tone. For kids with very dark skin, I usually just bump the ISO up from 100 to 125 or 160, depending on how dark it is.

Lew... in full manual, raising ISO a stop or two would have the same effect as raising EC a stop or too, yes? IF Shutter and Aperture didn't change... (If I am interpreting the earlier statement and your question correctly!)

To quote Inspector Clouseau, "Ah, the old full manual ploy.'
