Hello, I have a question. Do you know where the photo of the lake with a dock in the lower portion and a tree line in the background was taken? I have a lake house in the Ozarks where the view is exactly like that- the tree line and all. I just wondered if you knew where it was taken.

Asked by anothersetof-bones

Hi! The photographer who took that photo is Grace Wyche; she states that the photo was taken in Cook County, Minnesota.

I think it works so well because it looks like a place we’ve all been to and loved :)

Hello! I am ordering a Canon AE-1 online. It is in good shape, but the lightmeter is broken. What will that affect?

Asked by charleyandtheblog

Hi! Well, it won’t affect the quality of your images in any way… The light meter is there to help you find the correct exposure, so if you don’t have one in-camera all that means is you have to figure it out another way.

Option #1 is to buy and use an external light meter, which in my opinion is always a worthwhile investment.

Option #2 is to take a camera with a working light meter and use it to measure each exposure, but that would be laborious and annoying.

Option #3 is to use the Sunny 16 rule, more info on that here.

Hope that helps :)
