If the question is for your own application, a vid of some kind might be best, since your torso, limbs etc. etc. can all have an effect.

I'm only 5'7" so my opinion on setup may not be 100% for you, but;
Make sure you have all the core DL points down. Shoulders back, chest up, head neutral. Then place the bar mid foot, so you can see your toes on the other side, but not so your shins are completely against the bar. Break at the hips, then knees,(now your shins will touch the bar) and when you grab the bar and get your tension on your hamstrings, they should be a few degrees above parallel.
Remember, everyone is different and this is the Short Version of my personal set up. Give it a whirl and see what adjustments you need to make at that point
