hehe..the face is properly exposed but bumping your ISO to 800-1600 would allow you to capture more ambient light...just my 2 cents.. =)

nice to meet u all bros today, i need some help on my pics, my kuning shots below  cry.gif also is there anywhere hoe to learn to adjust curve in PS? I totally duno how to use it, instead all my overexposed shots i duplicate layer and (multiply) only.

also u all know i boug the battery haul ya, anyway its working great so far, tested with my fren duno thinga-magic volt tester, he said the voltage output is quite consistent, so should be good for high end equipments which needs consistent power( if i know wat he is talking about) anyway saw in the brochure, with every purchase of battery, ur entitled to enter a contest and win!! my shots of this girl very  cry.gif  wanna see which bro wanna try their luck submitting their pic..pm me so i can give u the receipt number as proof of purchase....

must be this girl

just a question,
I need to know where I go wrong...

1. How do i get clean clear correct white balance like sidewinderz pics? I am using flash (auto) 1/80 ISO1600 F5.6(variable and the smallest my lens can do)
2. How to get clear background (without model's shadow) when using with flash?
*
hmm..for me, i use custom white balance along with a yellow diffuser dome to match the light with the ambient light..the temperature i set to was around 3500 kelvin.. =) hope that helps...

when you flash, try using bounce flash instead of direct flash as it helps eliminate harsh shadows..a bounce card will help...engineer 1 yourself..its easy.. =)

another thing is to shoot in RAW as it helps give your images a 2nd chance.. =) i normally take RAW+jpg...

QUOTE(zstan @ Apr 18 2010, 12:12 AM)
i think ur iso a bit too high..dun stick to one iso in all conditions...if too bright then lower it..my 2 cents..=)
*
i think i have to disagree, i would normally fix my ISO and just adjust my shutter speed instead..it is much faster.. =) a higher shutter speed is better than a lower iso..tat is wat i feel.. =)

wingster, meaning i shouldn't do (duplicate and multiply for PP?) okie gotta learn more on it

zstan, noted...sometimes the room dark sometimes bright, i guess it takes more practice

sidewinders, is it the yellow gel for flash? i guess i will need that soo, but lets say if we cannot get that at hand, what else do u recommend? well its on stofen diffuer, f42 takde bounce card, but i saw many samples already probably will make one..

hmmm, sidewinder,z ur touch makes the colour so much better..anyway is it this below? if i am not mistaken it only point to the top rite? then how did u shoot? face the "orange" surface to the model?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


albnok, understood, wanna ask if i allow lower shutter speed and use widest aperture, won't it over expose the picture already? + high iso? or i should control the exposure via flash power?? oh ya the gel, u showed me after the event too bad i didn't know much about the gel until i peep'ed a bro's shot...

ps.got one bro here ler, went friday, sat and sun going too!!!
*
yea..tat is the 1..the dome (white coloru thing) works like a artificial celing where the flash fire to the dome and the light softens up and travels to the model's face.. =) same concept with the orange dome..never fire it directly..haha
ssk selling it for rm6 with 4 domes...

the picture wont over expose if you use lower shutter speed plus widest apeture and high iso...normally flash acts as a fill flash to fill up shadows on the face...just trust the metering system of your camera and let it do the rest.. =)...you will slowly learn from there
