From: "James" no on
Please look at the photo on this link. (I am unable to contact the person
who took the picture).

How do you think this photo was taken ?

Did the person use a flash ? What was the likely range of aperture
setting, and shutter speed ? How was the black background likely achieved
?

This appears pretty close up. You suppose the person used a telephoto lens
?

Just some basic comments please !! I would love to learn to do this
some day !! I have a Nikon D70, but
am very much a novice.

Thank you.

James
