I have searched the web and this site and acquired some helpful info, however, I'd like to try to get some more advice. I am shooting for a friend so ALL advice is going towards the good of the group, not towards me and my skills/reputation as a photographer. Keep in mind these photos, which I have to process as well, will be sent to a magazine for printing. So processing advice is GREATLY appreciated as well. From what I've gather I should be shooting in RAW for greater post processing and color values. Now these pictures are not going to be processed a huge deal, so is RAW necessary?
I own a Nikon D70 with the stock 18-70mm lens and a Nikon 80-200mm as well. I do not currently have any special filter lenses. The only one i was thinking about picking up was a polarizing filter. Lighting will be afternoon to dusk. Here are the recommendations I am looking for:
ISO
Shutter speed
Aperature
Lens selection
Which ones should I control and which ones should I leave to the camera to control?
Any opinions as to certain stances and angles with specific lighting/shadows would help also. After the shots are done I plan on posting the best ones here for all to critique, as I will need help processing since I have never processed for a magazine print. Thanks again, eager to hear what you all have to say.
