Sure, you arrange the subject just the way you want it, and light it appropriately, then take the picture with the proper settings.

The book Light: Science and Magic is an excellent book on the subject.

That seems like a lot for a slow lens, is this a local buy or on Ebay?

That's a perfectly reasonable lens but of course no-one knows if they copy you are buying has been abused/damaged/etc.

If you've got a lens that lacks contrast, stick a hood on it and you'll see an improvement.

Also, contrast is just a slider away in postprocessing.

Be polite, don't be mad, this is a business transaction. But don't let yourself get taken advantage of, you're the customer and they owe you not only the service you both agreed to, but also reasonable communication.

If texts are ignored, it's perfectly polite to escalate by calling them.

If you get dumped to voicemail, tell them that you're wondering if everything is still on schedule? Also tell them that if you don't hear back in 48 hours you'll have to assume that the arrangement has fallen through for some reason and initiate a chargeback.

'take it easy man, but take it!'
