i tot i just answered him after his post?
the problem is the flash is set to TTL< the metering is still open... means not lock at his exposure yet, even he uses M mode. the flash is still auto and have the ability to fire enough to make the metering to 0ev, this is not just sony, every other camera, the AI is fixed, they arent like human where we can make decision what color/exposure effect we wanted,... that is why the M mode is here to stay.
yes..u are right...most of the time i use M mode for flash shots...
let's talk about this pic. a good example of 'albnok's you will see what we wanted you to see'
some info of the pic, taken at evening in my garden, when i first gotten my raynox, shot with 55200 at 55mm, raynox DCR250, F32, 1/80 (the F32 cause it to underexpose
) i left it underexpose, so it could bring out the details/sharpness of what the raynox+55200 can do
majority people will perceive it as a good photo, good sharpness, pretty flower, the crown looking middle of the flower, the good amount of DoF, etc because of the narrow perceptive, they only see what the picture's main subject is showing.
but, there are minority people, will definitely see the photo as a whole picture. they will see the 'ugly' flower behind it, although the main-subject-flower is big enough to bring all the attention to it. it is still a 'bad' compose with distraction. (i didn't realize until i re-look at my photo, i do that time to time, its a enjoyment to look at our old works, and see the 'growing' progress of ur photography life.)
how u see the photo, is excately how u shoot.
if u see it as a whole picture, u will compose very well.
if u see only the subject, and everything around it become blank in ur head... then, u have to do something bout it~
let me give u another nice flower photo. taken in nanjuang mountain area, taipei. my sis's God Father's summer cottage/house. wild rose (although planted by uncle, it was left unattended... and it's 8-18 degree here whole year long)
sal1870 - 70mm, F5.6, 1/125, auto iso320
my story, is to tell, the blooming and the withered. but still, with some distraction around.
but how many people, would perceive it first, the flowers, then the whole picture?
frankly both pictures i saw distraction when i first saw them...the ugly flower behind on the 1st shot and the green leaves and flowers on the 2nd pictures....
thts y we need to look more the professional shots no matter from websites and magazines to learn and know tht "my composition are not tht good"...
next thing is go out and shoot...shoot like a pro then learn to shoot in another perspective of yourself...
